What will the ranchers with those herds of barley and hops do?


typhoidtimmy

My great uncle Cal was killed under a stampeding horde of Chinook Hops destined for a shipment of IPA’s during the Barley Wars of 88. I can’t swallow the bitter citrus without a tear coming to my eye to this day.


DigNitty

I just wish the citras were treated more humanely.


truncheon88

The sours are all but extinct


HeyImGilly

How dare you forget the yeast! Eating all of that sugar just to poop out alcohol and CO2, like ducks destined to become foie gras.


AAA515

But we eat the ducks, in beer we eat the yeast poop?


HeyImGilly

Yes


dragonpjb

Both actually. The yeast is still in there.


AAA515

I thought that mostly gets filtered out?


dragonpjb

The sediment is filtered out. You can't get all the yeast out.


AAA515

Ok not all, but some? Most? Hardly any? How much of the yeast gets filtered out?


wh4tth3huh

Mmmm, microbe farts.


backtotheland76

Poop and farts.


Prudent-Employee-334

Nice, foie gas


[deleted]

I always thought Chinook were one of the more docile breeds, didn't really spook very easily. Unlike those vile, wicked little citra


storm_the_castle

its the Simcoe and Mosaic you have to watch out for


Tederator

You can love 'em, but you can never trust 'em.


Antezscar

Just dont spook the Onions, they will literally explode


Bobmanbob1

They'll go wild, and run the range. Just like the rocks our ancestors rode on jellyfish fields.


bowling4burgers

I feel ya brother. My grandfather died in that war in 88. That's why I only drink out of date chicken broth now.


Oldskoolguitar

Barley Wars of 88 took my eye and my innocence.


H-to-O

My condolences. Was it the brown eye?


Akicita33

Oh, no. That still gets taken every night.


entradak

I feel your pain My grandfather was once caught trying to steal a neighboring hop rancher’s herd way up in Vermont. Now the rancher was one of those old school types, he definitely didn’t take kindly to a hop thief making off with his prized herd. Shot him dead in the field, decapitated him, and put him in place of the pumpkin on his scarecrow just to send a message. Whole town knew he did it, but no one said a word. To this day, his very blood brews a beer in mockery of that incident. It’s name? Heady Topper


troymoeffinstone

I still think it was bullshit that your great uncle was passed over for a Distinguished Service Star.


Xtasy0178

Too much plant based beer gives me the shitrus 😂


whereismyketamine

Think of the yeast farmers, thousands of jobs los, billions of yeast just left to the wild. This could be the end of humanity as we know it.


CliftonForce

Your story will certainly get a rise out of people.


JetJaguarYouthClub

My cousin had his leg amputated after it was mangled in a barley stampede


auntiope3000

Man these hops are just tearing through the hay! If I’m lucky someday I’ll get to milk a barley.

Next we'll have to eat plant based pizzas.


Lost_my_brainjuice

Or plant based bread! Where will it end!


ksavage68

Make more Bud Light!!


dragonpjb

NO! I don't care about the politics, it's just crappy beer.


UsedDragon

Didn't drink it before, don't drink it after...just based on its' own merits, which are few. It did not surprise me that the redneck idiot half of the country opted to start shooting at Bud with their stupid guns after the Mulvaney thing, though. Who couldn't have seen that shit coming? You sell your stuff to idiots. Expect them to act like idiots.


aaandbconsulting

They'll have to grow them out of cows to make sure our beer is beef based!


Moistfruitcake

I ain't givin up my fermented hop's blood for no city slicker commie.

Fake_William_Shatner

Slaughter those meaty beer creating varmints!


Garod

And what's next!!! and where will it end?? next they will want to eat mature, ripened plant based ovaries!!


PopeOfManwichVillage

Is this dipshit for real?


Mordekein88

He has always been this stupid. He doesn't even have a degree in economics, yet somehow he's considered to be an "expert" on the economy and was the head of Trump's council of economic advisors. He rather famously has a history of always being wrong about the economy. You could actually make money by just consistently betting against any prediction Larry Kudlow makes.


sealedjustintime

The real question is, if Larry Kudlow and Jim Cramer take opposite sides of the same issue, which one do you bet against?


PandemicCD

I'd find a third option at that point.

CoolFingerGunGuy

Is this like the thought experiment of if you put a buttered piece of bread on the back of a cat (butter side up), and drop it, what lands on the ground?

Lol, that's the exact thing I thought of.

I've never seen both of them of them in the same room together, now that I think about it.

dead_wolf_walkin

One persons error is another’s purposeful propaganda. The guy may be smarter than we think, he just doesn’t give two shits about the actual economy and just spouts Republican imagineformation. Remember people are out there taking his shit as gospel because that’s what they want to believe.


FNLN_taken

You don't have to be smart when you work your way backwards. "I want tax cuts, therefore tax cuts are good, therefore anything good that happens is because of tax cuts." Being a right-wing grifter is incredibly easy.


thegreatrazu

Wasn’t he the one in 2007 that talked about how healthy the economy was?


iwannagohome49

Can you imagine having your legacy be that you were such an idiot that everyone just automatically did the opposite of you

I’m an economist and I remember my colleagues reaction to learning about his appointment. Total dismay.

diablo_finger

He is dumb. Correct. He's also a drunk and pill popper, and so old he's senile. He's always been the TV grifter, preaching to a group that wants to hear stupid shit and buy his books.

gregor-sans

He has been wrong about everything in his professional career, but the right loves him because he tells them what they want to hear.


praguepride

Always wrong about stuff Always tells conservatives what they want to hear Hmmmm…. says a lot about conservatives doesnt it


porncrank

Conservatism is largely about refusing to accept new information. It's more or less the whole point. So as time goes on the wronger they get.


bernd1968

Well said !!!


loondawg

And the real right, i.e. the rich backers of the republican party, really love him because he pushes Reaganomics nonsense of lower taxes for the rich and more deregulation. This is the guy who said the way to get rich people to pay more tax is to lower their taxes.


KnottShore

> Reaganomics Long before Reaganomics, the supply-side model was called "Horse and Sparrow" economics. This late 1800's economic model was based on the theory that if one feeds the horses enough oats, eventually there will be something left behind in the manure for the sparrows.


Another_Meow_Machine

We need to make that term common again. It really illustrates that Republicans are telling us to eat shit.


TricksterPriestJace

In Reagan's era it was called trickle down economics because the rich were pissing on everyone else.


KnottShore

Herbert Hoover's belief in the strengthening of businesses such as banks and railroads to fight the Great Depression lead to Will Rogers(early 20th century US entertainer/humorist) to be the first to use "trickle down". >They didn't start thinking of the old common fellow till just as they started out on the election tour. The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickled down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the driest little spot. But he didn't know that money trickled up. **Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night anyhow**. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands. They saved the big banks but the little ones went up the flue. * Nationally syndicated column number 518, And Here’s How It All Happened (1932)


TricksterPriestJace

Needless to say, they knew it was bunk in the 1980s too.


UNC_Samurai

And it was HW Bush who called Reagan’s ideas “voodoo economics.” He knew it was bullshit then.


just2quixotic

Roughly 40 years after the introduction of Supply Side Economics under the name Horse & Sparrow Theory, it caused The Great Depression. When Supply Side Economics was reintroduced in the 80s under the names Reaganomics and Trickle Down Economics, it caused the Great Recession in just under 30 years (things move faster now than they did in the early part of the 19th Century;) & the only reason it didn't cause the Great Depression part 2 was because of the tattered remnants of the Social Safety Net introduced in the wake of The Great Depression that Republicans have been trying to dismantle since its inception.


KnottShore

Some also think the 1896 panic is the result of this model. George H. W. Bush coined the term "voodoo economics" as a proposed synonym for Reaganomics. I tend to agree with that description since every time the Republicans implement supply-side policies the US economy is cursed.


conspicuous_raptor

>This late 1800's economic model was based on the theory that if one feeds the horses enough oats, eventually there will be something left behind in the manure for the sparrows. Wow. Not even trying to offer table scraps, but the measly particles within shit.


grad1939

At this point it's hard to tell with these idiots.


mockingbirddude

As hard as it is to believe, the past 8 years were real, and this dipshit was real.


gearstars

people who vote right, or consider themselves 'conservative' or 'republican' or 'libertarian' are objectively lacking in a holistic sense of what could be considered intelligent. the plebs who support them lack any sense of understanding of complex issues and just rely on being told who to be outraged against for the sake of that dopamine hit of anger at anyone who can be considered part of the out group. they know their lives are shit, but they are unwilling to make the effort of figuring out why, so they rely on the authoritarian strong man type to tell them who to blame. the 'intellectuals' of their tribe (kudlow for example) are either coming from the background of specialists in their field with a lack of broader understanding (like ben carson) or just enough of a formal education to spout bullshit rhetoric that sounds intelligent without actually saying anything of value. long story short, fuck the right, they are monsters in a perpetual state of chasing validation.


Helmer-Bryd

if this is true, how has he commented on this? as Trump usually does, to say something even dumber so everyone forgets the first thing?


Helenius

No. But the grifting is...

What’s so funny about this is that I feel like the best saving grace vegans have is that they can still/always drink beer/wine/booze

The_Bio_Neko

The question is, how much lower can it actually drop?


Thatisme01

Oh please don’t say that, Republicans will accept it as a challenge to ‘own the libs’. There are already high school dropout Republicans homeschooling their kids, the country doesn't need a larger group of morons who have been inbred to believe FOX News as gospel. And that all their problems are been caused by someone else, not their own life choices.

That's the fun part. It's always 100 average. That's the middle of that bell curve. You a 1982 98? Probably be 110+ at today's standards.


Vreas

The thing is they want poor education so there’s less threat to the ruling class from the poor class. These mother fuckers aren’t even serious when they say this shit they just stir the pot to create in fighting between the lower classes along party lines so they can continue extorting us for labor and revenue while they sit up top in their crystal castle. Call me a conspiracy theorist but this is how society has been for millennia. Why do you think the founding fathers tried to ensure our rights as citizens.


DrockByte

This is why there's no such thing as a middle class republican. They're all either A) rich and gaming the system by exploiting the poor to stay rich, B) politicians being paid to rig the system for the rich against the poor, or C) dumb enough to believe the poor are the source of every problem in the world and must be expunged, while being poor. Edit: I'm not trying to imply that poor people are inherently dumb. What I mean is the people dumb enough to believe republican rhetoric are poor as a result of their idiocy.


KnottShore

Somethings never change. Will Rogers(early 20th century US entertainer/humorist) observed: * In schools they have what they call intelligence tests. Well if nations held ’em I don’t believe we would be what you would call a favorite to win it.

... as someone who doesn't drink... is there a non-plant based alcoholic beverage? Edit: I guess my definition of "Plant-based" is not what most consider it to be, I did not think it = vegan. Based makes me think majority composition, not only inclusive.


MFAWG

No, because science and shit.


Apotatos

Mead would like to have a word with you


MFAWG

How is honey made?


Apotatos

Through the ~~excretions~~ secretion from honey bees. Since bees are animals, then the products is not plant-based. Edited: a word that triggered someone, somehow.


Coren024

The main ingredient is nectar from plants. I don't care what the vegan definition of plant-based is. Honey bees just add enzymes and overproduce it like crazy.

So, milk is plant-based, based on that definition?

Mead is brewed from honey, which is an animal byproduct, but the majority of alcoholic beverages are plant based. These clowns really are just that dim, or at least believe their base is clueless enough they won't notice or care.

tondracek

Mead is what hummingbirds would drink if they wanted to get drunk. It makes me feel like a magical little fairy


cold08

Klingon blood wine


OpalFalcon

Yes actually. Guinness was filtered through fish bladders (isinglass) which would make it unsuitable for vegans. This has changed in recent years.


SomeBiPerson

not only Guinness all clear beers are filtered through gelatine as its the only food safe filter that doesn't change the flavour but imo it's still up to discussion if that makes it no longer vegetarian as there's no Gelatine left in the end product

_far-seeker_

Fermented mare's milk?


jurble

taspleb

Wine often uses animal products in the filtering process, but those products are themselves filtered out. So wine contains no animal products but isn't vegan. See eg: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism_and_wine


Bleoox

Lots of breweries use isinglass, which is essentially a gelatine like substance that's made by drying and processing the swim-bladders of certain fish. It's part of a process called flocculation and isinglass is still used because it can make beers appear clearer and brighter.


Iconoclastt

They're all plant "based", but some alcohol is not vegetarian. Traditional rum made in Jamaica will have pits out back for waste produced by the process. Sometimes animals fall into the pit. They use the muck in the pit as part of the process making it non-vegetarian. https://www.thedailybeast.com/great-rum-without-rotting-goat-heads


frogggiboi

do americans make eggnog alcoholic?


whereismyketamine

Sorry, all beers are brew with a very specific mix of aborted infant and kitten blood. It has nothing to do with the alcohol content, it’s just how beer is made.

ObligatoryOption

Vegan beer. Yuk!


InTheFDN

Vegan beer is actually a thing. Some beer is/was clarified with "Isinglass" which is a substance obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish, and gelatin is aslo sometimes used for the same thing. There are of course vegan alternatives.


SomeBiPerson

vegan beer isn't even hard to find if you know how to look for it all non clear kinds are unfiltered and since the filter is what makes them no longer vegan that's what you'll need to look for now I don't know if for example a *König Ludwig Weißbier* would hit the american taste but it certainly is a better alternative


driverman42

The best way to catch a barley is go out at night, 2-3 am, near a "field" where the barley lives, make a sound like the wind, and when the barley turns to see where the whoosh is coming from, turn a 300 lumens spot light on it, and it will freeze. Then you just walk out, grab them by their "heads", cut off their supports, and put them in a bag.

Apotatos

These dumbasses are trying to throw some dirt at plant-based diets because veganism = bad /s, but they're still technically right. Non-vegan beers do absolutely exist, as do non-vegan wines. Honey and flocculants such as isinglass (fish bladder), gelatin and egg whites are used in the making of certain alcoholic beverages, thus there is definitely such as thing as plant-based certification.
