Deep fried beer doesn’t taste that great?

It turns out that fried beer (we blogged about it here), the win­ner of “Most Cre­ative” although not best over­all deep fried food prod­uct at the Texas State Fair, might not taste all that great.

Debra Can­field of East Dal­las took one bite of Fried Beer and imme­di­ately had bit­ter beer face.

She spit it out.

Can­field said it was too salty and tasted too much like Fried But­ter, last year’s hit.

“The warm beer makes it taste like ravi­oli that hasn’t been cooked,” Can­field said.

It’s pos­si­ble that the prob­lem was that they used some crappy Amer­i­can beer like Bud­weiser. Has any­one tasted it or tried mak­ing it?

Beer as part of a healthy diet

Euro­pean metal fes­ti­val sea­son is in full swing, and met­al­heads in camp­grounds all over Europe are indulging in the tra­di­tional beer break­fast. Accord­ing to a new study, they could be doing their bones a favour.

Researchers at the Depart­ment of Food Sci­ence & Tech­nol­ogy at the Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia have dis­cov­ered that beer con­tains dietary sil­i­con in a highly digestible form. That means it’s good for increas­ing the min­eral den­sity of your bones.

Of course, the study did say “mod­er­ate” beer con­sump­tion may be ben­e­fi­cial. They also pointed out that there are many other sources of dietary sil­i­con, includ­ing oat­meal, dried dates, gra­nola cereal and high-fiber wheat bran cereal.

But that just sounds like a recipe for beer on your cereal to me!

Fucking Hell–the beer, that is

Filed Under: random
Jul.13, 2010

fucking

From the “hilar­i­ous but true” files, a Ger­man brew­ery has won the trade­mark to mar­ket a beer called “Fuck­ing Hell”. But get your mind out of the gut­ter — ‘hell’ is a Ger­man term that can mean“light ale” and “Fuck­ing” is the name of a small town in Aus­tria that goes through a lot of town name signs. See? It’s all per­fectly innocent.

The peo­ple of Fuck­ing – pro­nounced “fook­ing” in Ger­man, much like it is in the North of Eng­land – are less than impressed. There’s only 90 or so of them, and they’ve had the name for 800 years. From the Aus­trian Times:

Franz Meindl, the People’s Party (ÖVP) mayor of Fuck­ing, reacted say­ing: “We just want to be left alone. There are all these sto­ries about our town’s name all the time – espe­cially in sum­mer. Every­body writes what they want.”

I don’t know when the beer is going into pro­duc­tion or where it’s going to be avail­able, but that’s gotta be the most metal beer I’ve ever heard of. Some­one send in a pic­ture, please!

Another lot of beer-swilling metal maniacs

It’s been a while between photo posts, but we’re ready to share the mad­ness again!

First up, we have some heavy metal broth­ers from Brazil with Jackie Slaugh­ter of Cana­dian band Skull Fist:

Awe­some work guys, and two beers towards our total.

Next up, two pics were sub­mit­ted to our Flickr group by Mir­jam Otto. Both taken in a place I know and love very well – the Ham­burg Ball­room. Unfor­tu­nately embed­ding of the pho­tos has been dis­abled so you’ll have to visit Flickr to see them – but I’m still going to count the two frosty bev­er­ages towards our total (it’s not cheat­ing, honest).

Our esteemed One Mil­lion Beers con­trib­u­tor and God­dess of Metal As Fuck, Bioda­gar, con­tributed the next two pho­tos to the flickr pool. She explains about the image on the left:

“I’d just come from a day in Cor­po­rate Land, and the shirt I was made to put over my dress because the dress just ain’t metal.”

You’re plenty metal enough for us hun!

The image of the right fea­tures Bioda­gar with Trevor Str­nad of The Black Dahlia Mur­der at their recent Ade­laide show. I’m not sure what’s going on, but there’s beer, met­al­heads and horns being thrown, so I’m sure it’s all above board.

Beers at the Ellises' Me & Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder

Count two more brews towards the total. Count­ing the three beers from last week’s “Contributor’s Edi­tion” photo post, that means we can add six more beers to our run­ning total, bring­ing it to 188.

So until next time, keep sub­mit­ting those pho­tos, keep drink­ing up and most impor­tantly, stay metal \m/

Raise the horns to salute a metal legend

Dio and Lemmy enjoying a brew

By now, the sad news of Ron­nie James Dio’s death has reached every cor­ner of the world, and the trib­utes from fans and bands alike have poured in by the thou­sands – like these sub­mis­sions gath­ered from Metal As Fuck fans. The diminu­tive singer, front­man of Elf, Rain­bow, Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell and his own solo out­fit Dio, was truly one of the best loved fig­ures in metal. Trag­i­cally taken from us before his time by stom­ach can­cer, he will be greatly missed.

One of Dio’s endur­ing con­tri­bu­tions to metal was the intro­duc­tion of the metal horns – the uni­ver­sal salute that fea­tures in so many of the pho­tos sub­mit­ted on this site. In an inter­view with Metal Ham­mer, unpub­lished until last week, he says:

“The sign was pro­tec­tion against the evil eye. My grand­mother used to do it. I can also give evil with it, the sign of the devil. The horns. Peo­ple say ‘So you invented that?’ It was prob­a­bly some guy 50,000 years ago called Og. It was a super­sti­tious sign to ward off evil and give evil back. Because I used it so much I became syn­ony­mous with it. A sym­bol that has become so prevalent.”

Dio him­self enjoyed a beer on occa­sion, like in this short clip with Lemmy, recorded only about a year ago (horns up to Bazil­lion Points Pub­lish­ing):

.

in these sad times, the One Mil­lion Beers team encour­age every­one to do what we think Ron­nie would have liked – crank up some clas­sic Dio tunes, open a nice cold beer, raise the horns to hon­our a heavy metal leg­end… and don’t for­get to take a photo and send it in!

The (very metal) history of beer

Filed Under: random
May.07, 2010

suspiciously non-genuine looking viking dude

Lis­ten up, my beer-loving met­al­heads: it’s time to get some edja­maca­tion happening!

The gor­geous Steff Metal has dug up some very inter­est­ing infor­ma­tion about the his­tory of our esteemed bev­er­age of choice (appar­ently, the first recorded recipe is from our pals the Ancient Sume­ri­ans). She also makes it metal by includ­ing a list of her favourite beer drink­ing metal songs, and a list of deities asso­ci­ated with beer and drinking.

So raise a pint to Osiris, the Egypt­ian god who invent beer (as leg­end goes), or Tez­cat­zon­te­catl, the Aztec god of ine­bri­a­tion, or Siris and Ninkasi, the Baby­lon­ian god­desses of beer, and thank them for their excel­lent taste (not to men­tion how metal they were). Oh, and take a photo to sub­mit to One Mil­lion Beers while you’re at it…

Cheers Steff – love your work!

Boys, beer and metal!

May.04, 2010

This time around, the sub­mis­sions are all boys! Ladies, where are you?

First up, Illi­nois Bob sends in this photo, explain­ing “Bob, Matt, and Jeff tip one back for Metal, while play­ing some” — that’s what we like to see, guys!

Next up we have two sub­mis­sions from Aussie met­al­head Gus (@Biomech_) — writ­ing some riffs and chug­ging back a beer (or three) — on ya mate!

And finally, Eddie Jacob­sen shares these pics, first back­stage at Vox­hall, Den­mark where his band SIC per­formed with Hate­sphere in 2009, and then show­ing us how they like to party! Thanks Eddie, that’s what we like too!

My lit­tle eye spies 30 beery bev­er­ages in this lot… and although math is not my strong point, I’m pretty sure that means our tally is now at 182 beers, or 0.182% of the way to one mil­lion beers. Or, in the esteemed words of the lovely Bioda­gar, we’re approx­i­mately one “poof­teenth” towards the total! But don’t be dis­cour­aged, there’s a lot of beer in this world, a lot of metal, and we’re patient peo­ple. Drink up!

Horns up! I count 63 beers in this set. Added to last week’s 89, that gives us a grand total of 152 beers thus far, which puts us at 0.152% of the way to our goal of one mil­lion beers. Bet­ter keep on drink­ing folks, and keep send­ing in those awe­some submissions.

Right, all this post­ing is mak­ing me thirsty! Off to crank up some metal and crack open a nice cold Phoenix!

Our very first submissions!

One week after the ini­tial con­cept for One Mil­lion Beers for Metal was drunk­enly con­ceived, here’s our first round of sub­mis­sions. These are from our Flickr group and fea­ture some Euro­pean metal fes­ti­vals and founder Biodagar’s week­end aftermath.

There were also three sub­mis­sions from the site — Troy from Ade­laide giv­ing Simey some metal brother love while Ree throws the horns at Troy’s birth­day bash in 2009; Dill The Devil, music edi­tor at OneMetal.com, about to con­sume a can of Strong­bow in the name of metal at the Down­load 2008 music fes­ti­val at Cas­tle Don­ing­ton; and @Biomech and the crew: @clone6, @bullie666, @darcyvargas — drink­ing up before the Mastodon gig.

I’ve care­fully counted and I believe that there are 89 beers in these pho­tographs (41 sin­gle beers, plus two car­tons being trans­ported). So we are now offi­cially 0.0089% of the way to our goal.

Thanks every­one — horns up guys! Can’t wait to see even more next week! Drink up!
