Yes, I like beer. Yes, I drink beer. And as any true alcoholic will tell you, no, I'm not an alcoholic. I just like beer, and apparently a lot. Or maybe I'm in need of an intervention...
In all seriousness, though, this is a not so negative side effect of the recent overzealousness in my brewing efforts. I've been storing my overstock in a spare bedroom that naturally keeps quite cool, but apparently not as cool as I thought. When I arrived back home from some recent travels I noticed a strong beer smell emanating from that spare bedroom. After dropping my luggage in my room I went to check things out and found the remnants of what I can only assume was an IED that someone must have snuck into one of my bottles. When the room heated up a bit during our recent Portland heatwave, the IED must have gone off. I now have broken glass and beer foam coating the room. The glass sucks but is easy to pick up, and I can think of worse substances than beer to have a room coated with. So all in all no real harm done.
Fortunately the explosion didn't take out any of my other stock, and as you can see I've gone to storing the overstock in my fridge for the remaining duration of summer. Who needs food anyways?
If someone wanted a picture that described "bachelor" this would be it. Beer, coral food, cookie dough, cheese, random leftovers, 1 water bottle, and a random bagel.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you spotted the coral food and knew what it was!
DeleteI once made the same mistake with a bottle of wine. The cork popped out, the wine (if you could call it that by then) ran out on the floor, and since it was at a craft show, had very few people stopping by the booth. It was a lovely smell, NOT.

What's so bad about the smell of wine in teh morning?
DeleteI didn't know that warm temps would make home brew explode! Good plan to refrigerate the beer. It will stay fresher that way.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't either. >:(
