On the 1st December 2010, Antony Hayes (who seems like a sound bloke) left the following comment on my rather excessively contentious post Down with Craft Beer!:
The term “craft” conjures up images of my granny’s crochet club.
Big breweries can make great beer – Castle Milk Stout for one.
Real ale is often oxidised.Using “real ale” or “craft beer” to mean “good beer” is sloppy.
Judge the beer in the glass – not how it got there.
On the 22nd April 2011, this follow-up comment appeared:
yea i agree with you antony, it should be how it tastes not how it was made the end result is what count.
I didn’t think much about this rather vacuous comment, until I noticed the name of the commenter: a certain “electric kettle”, whose user ID links to an electric kettle review site. It’s spam, in other words – spam that’s not only good enough to get through WordPress’s filters but good enough to fool a human, viz. me.
On the 19th of April 2011, Skynet became self-aware; it launched its attack on the human race two days later.
Just saying.
(Happy Easter, btw, and apologies for the long silence. Normal posting will be resumed as soon as possible.)
Oh Good Ale
