You Take One Down and Pass it Around...

Have you ever been at a party, particularly during college, or some other social gathering, and asked someone, "How's the beer?" only to hear them say, "Tastes like horse piss"?

I don't know about you, but whenever I hear this I immediately assume that means the beer doesn't taste very good. I say "assume" because I don't know for certain what horse piss actually tastes like, having never tried any. That is, until this past weekend.

After trying it, I realize that all those times that I thought people were less than satisfied with the quality of their beverages, it turns out they must have been enjoying them after all. Horse piss is quite good. And to think of all the times I've turned down a drink that tastes as good as horse piss. I guess I should be glad I discovered it when I did.

Horse piss is light, smooth and, surprisingly, doesn't leave an aftertaste (that was my biggest concern when first trying it). I certainly recommend it. Unfortunately horse piss can't be enjoyed from the tap. But you can purchase some in four 12-oz. bottles at many retail locations, or by visiting this website.

As far as micro-brewed beers go (what did you think I meant?), it doesn't have the flavor or richness of a lot of other locally brewed beers, but it compares favorably to a lot of popular domestic brews, such as Bud Light or Miller Lite. So the next time someone tells you that their beer tastes like horse piss, first understand that you're probably cavorting with a member of high society who enjoys the finer things in life. Then crack open a bottle and slurp some down.
