This is nauseating.
Craft brewers are creating a bespoke beer from yeast swabbed from Roald Dahl’s writing chair.
40FT Brewery, which is based in a shipping container in Dalston, north east London, have collaborated with culinary specialists Bompas and Parr on ‘Mr Twit’s Odious Ale’.
With permission from The Roald Dahl Literary Estate and The Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, swabs were taken from the authors writing chair, preserved for posterity at the museum. The beer is to be brewed in the Polish Grätzen style.
But instead of the Grätzen yeast, the first fermentation will use standard ale yeast. The second fermentation will then use the yeast cultured from Dahl’s chair.The beer itself has been described as having a light golden colour with relatively high carbonation, in fitting with the Grätzen style. Grätzen beer is sometimes also called Polish Champagne.
…No. They can’t be serious… can they? 🤔
A smart man once said: “There’s a sucker born every minute”
Wild yeast is everywhere. Home brewers have to be pretty stringent to keep the free range critters from hijacking their brewing.
These guys above could have swabbed the ceiling and gotten the same stuff.
Publicity stunt.
Fur — This story should have been accompanied by the little poo-poo, icky face girl.
Anyone got any Marylyn Monroe yeast?
New from Mattel Brewing Company: “Barfy Dahl”…
🙄
There should brew some STD craft beers while they’re at it:
Gonorrhea Ale
Dark Chlamydia
Syphilis Stout
Herpes Lite
THEY.
Sorry. I am a bit sleep still…
SLEEPY. LOL! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…………….
Cat got you finger?
The grossest thing about this story to me is that Roald Dahl was a notorious anti-Semite and Hitler apologist. What person wants to chug beer made from this Nazi’s ass sweat.
