Superbowl Additions

Ok, so to you, my brewing compadres I must turn and pick yer brains.

I usually like to tie the things I’m brewing to some piece of the moment and as I plan an RIS for this Sunday, I’ve got to think of Superbowl additions.

New Orleans is a piece of cake - chicory coffee.

Indy though? What am I supposed to do, throw a horse in there? Maybe a big racing slick? What am I missing about that town with a qb that I still have residual college animosity towards?

Indy Addition - What would you use?
  • A Horse
  • A Rubber Tire
  • Flaked Maize / Popcorn / Corn
  • Lactose (for the Dairy)
  • Something else

1lb of Flaked Maize
OR
A lb of Lactose, the Indy 500 winner drinks milk every year

+1 to the flaked maize.  On NPR this AM they were talking to restaurant owners in both cities about what they planned, and the woman from IN said she was planning on popcorn since corn is a major crop there.  Even mentioned that Orville Redenbacher got his start there.  Hey, this may be the perfect time to pop some popcorn and toss it in!

Damn… now why the hell didn’t I think of popcorn and lactose. Admittedly, for a stout I’m more likely to lean towards lactose than corn.

I think I’ll go hang my “experimenters” hat over the in the corner and sit here shamefacedly penitent.

You should turn this into a poll. I vote corn too.

How about a horse blanket…Brett!

Done… all decisions of the judges are final though! :slight_smile:

why not use horse shoes to create the boil - sort of like a steinbier?

or if the Colts lose, you could put in some choke cherries in honor of the “Man” who could never bring it to the Gators.

lactose would be my real vote

I voted as though I was gonna actually end up drinking the beer (thus - corn). For the absolutely detached people I suppose horse urine is an answer. Hey, you’re gonna boil it - right? What’s that show on Discovery channel - wild man?

OT: Why are BJCP judges so trusting? There could be ANYTHING in those bottles!

BAH!
Good sense of humor
I’ll stick with my first two

I gotta brew one of those soon, since my part of town is nicknamed Rock Village you know I have the necessary equipment :wink:

How about some cornstarch, so it’s always cloudy? ;D

I guess soul-sucking ennui wouldn’t fit in the kettle.

LOL, literally.

not to take off topic, but I did judge a nearly rancid flanders red once that had the moniker: “Ha-Ha - Look what I made you drink”.  lucky for him, he was a good friend of most of the judges so it was all in good fun, otherwise, I might have sent him a “ha-ha” prize of my own as thanks.

Well, One Day at a Time was set in Indianapolis… and Valerie Bertinelli played Barbara…  and now’s she doing all that Jenny Craig junk… so… brew a lite beer :slight_smile:

ps. Mackenzie Phillips played the older daughter but, with what she’s been up to lately, I won’t go there.

Yea… I voted other:

For Peytons post game face. :o

Sorry I am so bitter  :wink:

Now there’s a comment after my own heart! :slight_smile:

How many hearts to you “own”?

I think you should throw a few drops of Dave’s Insanity sauce in an amber ale or IPA to simulate the buffalo wings that many people consume on game day.

They’re from SanFran - that’s more appropriate for the emmy’s or grammy’s or whatever…

I went with corn for the reasons others have stated and I couldn’t come up with anything better to add.

Since I’m in the DC area all I have on my mind is getting ready to brew my Snowpocalypse Maibock this weekend.
