Godless Beer!

[BioBeing]

PZ is reporting a godless beer being sold to benefit an Atheist Society (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/09/denmark_is_now_on_my_list_of_e.php)

This brew is primarly aimed at members of the Atheist Society, but it will also be available in selected shops and bars. In these times, when companies are expected to show social responsibility, we in the brewery have decided to follow suit: For each bottle or draft sold we donate 1 danish crown to the Danish Atheist Society.

Wait... Danish? I have to go to Denmark to get some? Do we have any Danes here who have tried it?

It sounds like the antithesis of Coors…and that's a good thing all around.

Damn straight. :notworthy:


As a stout fan, i'd say it sounds pretty tasty though i bet its pretty intense at 8.9% .
I shall check the LCBO website, see if we can order in a case.

Here's (http://thefullpint.com/2008/08/26/review-avery-ale-to-the-chief) a beer I bought purely for the label:

Ale to the Chief
We the Brewers of Avery Brewing Company, in order to form a more perfect ale, require a new leadership that can liberate us from our quagmires in foreign lands; embrace environmentally sound energy alternatives to imported oil; heal our ailing health care system; free us from tyrannical debt and resurrect the collapsing dollar. We hereby pledge to provide him or her with an ample amount of our Presidential Pale Ale to support in the struggle for the aforementioned goals! Hail to the New Chief!

Not an “Imperial” pale ale, this is a democracy. It’s Presidential! Take the all-American pale ale, a bipartisan blend of malt and hops, increase to both Avery Brewing standards, and then, of course, dry hop the result with that most quintessential of American hops, Cascades, and you get this… Ale to the Chief. A brew worthy of the Oval Office! Brewed with Rocky Mountain water, malted barley, hops and yeast.

I had limited hopes for it, having tried that brewery's "barleywine style ale" - a style I'm partial to - and found it vile. But "Ale to the Chief" is actually excellent. IMHO, of course.
