A Shit Excuse for a Beer Article

by | Feb 14, 2026 | Beer, Brewing, Food & Drink, Hygiene | 136 comments

Fun mornings at Peterson Space Air Force tended to include driving to the base, parking, walking to the ahop only ti be confronted with something awful.

This is my review of Goose Hate Bird Island Bourbon County 2025:

What was I confronted with? The sweet, sweet smell of sewage.

Seriously, Pete is collocated with the airport and a few other niceties of modern life you the locals like to put next to military bases. The Civil Engineering squadron is located downwind from a waste water treatment plant. So when the news comes out DC probably smells shittier than usual…

“It’s a huge quantity of disgusting, smelly stuff,” Chang said.

A stench remains in the air after a pipe collapse spewed millions of gallons of wastewater into the river. 

…good. Its times like these I am thankful for my septic tank and not dependent on some communist sewage system. I handle my own shit, thank you.

On the topic of shit. There’s an interesting attempt at raising fledgling craft beer sales in Oreogon.

Would you drink bear poop? 

That’s a question that Breakside Brewery and Columbia Sportswear are, for some reason, asking beer drinkers with a Super Bowl-adjacent campaign this year.

Maybe, just maybe, these Super Bowl stunts are going too far.

Here we were thinking Bad Bunny was taking it too far. What, too soon?

Wait a minute. Didn’t I review this once before? No, technically I reviewed the batch they sold in 2017. This was brewed in 2025 so it’s technically a different beer. Though it isn’t. I actually bought it again on account of the day being February 1. I thought the tiny little bottle was cute. I could grab it, and do the drinky drinky thing like pretending I was a giant. This must be what Hafthor feels like…still the same old Bourbon County. A thick rich stout thinned out just enough with bourbon to give it the consistency of used engine oil. You probably can get away with burying this in your backyard though. Goose Hate Bird Island Bourbon County 2025: 4.8/5

    Now less trippy! But with grey for the commenting text.

    • Threedoor

      Commenting bubble is also blue.

      • Threedoor

        I think the comment font or size changed too.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        Whatever the changes, they aren’t good. I’m about to go blind trying to read light gray on slightly lighter gray.

      • Threedoor

        Like every iPhone ‘update’. Change everything to make a change to justify our jobs!!

  2. Gender Traitor

    Thanks to whoever fixed the page! (OMWC, maybe?) Links seem to work, so the only thing I’m not seeing is the big image at the top (photo of the beer can on Mexi’s kitchen counter?)

    • Tonio

      That was me.

      I’m seeing the photo of the beer bottle with a collection of Tupperware in the background. The illo is between the second and third paragraphs.

      • Gender Traitor

        Thank you, Tonio! I’m going to blame my current version of LibreWolf, running on my brand-spankin’-new Linux Mint OS for the photo not showing up on the page for me.

      • Evan from Evansville

        Much thanks, Tonio. Y’all are blessed folk.

      • DEG

        Thanks Tonio!

        For some reason, LibreWolf on Windows hates YouTube for me. Any video, starts to play, then maybe 20-30 seconds in stalls and never recovers.

      • Threedoor

        Toino, did the piece I tried to send in on my phone a couple weeks ago get submitted?

        Phone, being new at WordPress… may not have worked.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Thanks Tonio!

      • Tonio

        Threedoor, I’ll check on that tomorrow. See comment downthread.

    • Gender Traitor

      I was right! “Open Image in New Tab” reveals it.

  3. Not-so Rugged Individualist Hobbit

    4.8/5. Is that the best rating that you’ve given?

    • Evan from Evansville

      I also thought that queer. I imagine “used engine oil” would be a negative, but I’ve been fooled before.

      • Threedoor

        Dark thick possibly lumpy

      • kinnath

        “used engine oil”

        If you are into barrel-aged stouts, then yes, this is a desirable trait.

        I’m not into barrel-aged stouts, but this still is an impressive beer.

      • Evan from Evansville

        @Threedoor: I resemble that gelatinous discharge.

      • Threedoor

        Sounds like the kind of beer I like.

      • Chafed

        Yeah, I’m confused too. That sounds like a beer I would enjoy up to the motor oil part.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      I don’t think its the best rating I’ve given. That would be 10/5.

      • Threedoor

        What was that?!

  4. DEG

    This was brewed in 2025 so it’s technically a different beer.

    The best kind of correct.

    I like Bourbon County.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Its good, but damn did it get expensive.

  5. Threedoor

    Deschutes Brewery winning awards confuses me.

    I inadvertently bought more of their stuff several years ago after trying most of their beers and hating all of them. They changed their label and after a lapse of a couple years grabbed more of their stuff.

    No thanks.

    Breakside on the other hand does have some enjoyable brews and I can see awarding them for their quality work.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Their NA Black Butt Porter is surprisingly not shitty.

      • Threedoor

        I haven’t tried any of their NA ones.

        Sometimes the NA stuff surprises me. I like the NA Heineken.

  6. Bobbo

    @Tonio, I cant upload pictures all of a sudden.
    I get “cant write to disk” when I try, hlep?

  7. Muzzled Woodchipper

    From the ded thred:

    Key to Epstein’s crimes becoming known was the testimony of his victim, Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre alleged that Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell operated a worldwide sex trafficking operation, where women and girls were kidnapped and forced to have sex with the world’s rich and powerful. This allegedly included royals like Prince Andrew, politicians such as Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, and academics, like Alan Dershowitz.

    By this point, everyone knows this isn’t true. I mean I’m sure the depravity is true, but that T was involved is most definitely not, yet they print this shit anyways.

    What would happen if one were to routinely accuse Obama of child rape when everyone knows it isn’t true? We couldn’t even rightfully talk about Hunter’s, uh, proclivities, yet day after day we see shit like this.

    You don’t hate the media enough.

    • Threedoor

      Virginia Giuffre was a liar.
      If anything she was a willing conspirator in whatever was going on and turned against Epstein to cover her ass. I think the remorse got to her and she offed herself because she couldn’t take the regret and keep up with the lying.

    • rhywun

      At least they weasel-worded their way around the lies with “allegedly”.

    • Suthenboy

      The press are shameless lying sacks of shit. News at….oh wait, never mind.
      And piss-hookers. I hear some people still repeating that.

  8. Muzzled Woodchipper

    This gray text shit in the text box for commenting is horrible.

    OT: I’m looking at the January Treasury monthly statement compared with past statements.

    Income tax receipts are up compared to December 2025 due to quarterly tax payments. January 2025 is a better comparison than December 2025. I expect the statement for February 2026 will show lower income tax receipts than January 2026.

    The numbers:

    Total Receipts for Jan 2026 are $560 billion. Income tax receipts for Jan 2026 are $317 billion compared to Dec 2025 at $242 billion. Jan 2025 is $305 billion. So, an increase in income tax receipts over last January. Customs duties are holding steady at $28 billion.

    Outlays for Jan 2026 are $655 billion. Compare with December 2025 outlay of $629 billion and Jan 2025 outlay of $624 billion. So, a decrease over this time last year.

    FY 2026 YTD receipts are $1,785 billion. Comparable period FY 2025 receipts are $1,596 billion.
    FY 2026 YTD outlays are $2,482 billion. Comparable period FY 2025 outlays are $2,436 billion.

    So, YTD both receipts and outlays are up but FY 2026 deficit compared to FY 2025 comparable period deficit is down. FY 2026 deficit YTD is $697 billion with comparable FY 2025 deficit $840 billion.

    Updated projections for FY 2026 are still not available. The statement has a footnote stating they will be available when the President’s FY 2027 budget is released.

  10. Brochettaward

    My facebook is inundated with dopey Gen Z progressive white girls (presumably they identify as such) ranting about the injustice of the SAVE Act. It’s now obviously not just racist, but misogynistic as well. And they learned what a poll tax is from some left wing rag and are regurgitating that claim, as well.

    I can’t jack off to this so why are you showing it to me Facebook?

    • Brochettaward

      I mean, I COULD do it, but it would require a great deal of mental fortitude and the mute button.

    • rhywun

      Meanwhile non-whites and non-AWFLs are not interested in being white-knighted by those idiots.

      • Brochettaward

        It’s madness to me. Even like 65-70% of blacks according to polls don’t buy this bullshit argument. 70+% of everyone wants this by the polls we’ve seen.

        Europe does it.

        You can quibble about what documents you should need to get an ID in general. But saying that an ID is some onerous burden is absurd. Who are all these married women who can’t or don’t already have an ID with their married name?

        The closest they have to legitimate arguments are on the constitutionality of it all. You could if you squint turn this into a poll tax and the running of elections is determined by the states.

        The argument that Congress cannot regulate federal elections is nonsense. The actual text that progs are citing without ever having actually read it themselves:

        The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

        Something about their entire line is off to me.

  12. Mojeaux

    @threedoor from dedthred:

    Moj I want to convince my wife to try for one more. How do I go about that?

    My guy. Shut your mouth and be happy she hasn’t asked you to get snipped yet.

    • Threedoor

      It was hard to make the two we have I can’t imagine accidentally getting a third.

      • Brochettaward

        Obviously you should step out and have an illegitimate child. You need to make sure that you have the strongest heir possible and competition for resources brings out the most from humanity.

      • Threedoor

        Wife and I have been watching Big Love.

        Sister wives sound like a great idea, no stress, lots of happiness, and the women folk have their best friend right at home!

        I’m more of an epicurean than a Stoic. Like Pokémon, gotta catch em all.

      • Suthenboy

        Wut? Sister wives? I would rather shoot myself. Keeping up with one is all I can handle.

      • Mojeaux

        You will never get me to believe that amongst three or more women sharing a man, they aren’t getting a little sister-love on the side and/or polygamy isn’t a cover for their lesbian affairs.

      • Threedoor

        Moj, there is one episode in the first Season of Big love where the friends wives are playing footsie on card night.

        I’ve had the same thought. In polig groups lesbianism has to be high.

      • Threedoor

        That’s the joke at our place too Suthen, no way couldn’t keep up with more than one woman. And our relationship is drama free.

  13. kinnath

    I remember Schlitz.

    Old joke. Why did they ban beer at the beach. Because the girls were getting sand in their Schlitz.

    Long before Bud tried to destroy their brand we have . . . . .

      As I recall, Schlitz had a premium reputation on the East Coast in 1960s. Coors was just a legend and microbrews didn’t exist. Something exotic was F&S from Shamokin, PA but I doubt any of you ever sampled that

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Ugh, the Milwaukee’s Best of premium beers then. Schlitz is rank.

      I see so many family businesses ran into the ground by the third generation. They get sent to college by their parents and don’t work for twenty years starting by pushing a broom on the shop floor and know little about their company other than how much their parents take home pay is.

    Sparkle Beach Ken, world leader

    Gavin Newsom’s message to world leaders in Munich: It’s time to start thinking about the next president.

    “Donald Trump is temporary,” the California governor and likely presidential candidate said during a panel about climate change Friday at the Munich Security Conference. “He’ll be gone in three years.”

    Newsom has long positioned California as a durable counterweight to Trumpism, particularly on climate policies that California has expanded as the White House retreats. He carried a similar banner at an international climate conference in Brazil last year, casting California as America’s premiere climate mover in Trump’s absence.

    While it’s not unusual for California governors to wield the state’s economic clout to shape global climate policy, Newsom’s advocacy for the state doubles as a pitch for himself, allowing him to practice his diplomatic acumen, fortify relationships with heads of state, and sharpen his pitch for a post-Trump foreign policy.

    He should declare himself Supreme Leader of the Free Republic of California.

    • Threedoor

      And secede.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Biggest state, stupidest governor. Way to go Cali.

      • Suthenboy

        Stupidest governor? I dunno, he has some pretty stiff competition. Most of his competition are also women….huh….

      • Ted S.

        Does Tim Walz identify as a woman now?

      • Suthenboy

        You have to ask?

    • Suthenboy

      Didnt I just read yesterday that over a trillion bucks in income subject to state tax left his state in the last 3? years?
      He is still in office and not keel-hauled?

      • Chafed

        It’s a trillion dollars of wealth that left the state. The income total is far lower but is going to effect the next budget.

    • Chafed

      Sparkle Beach Ken is great. Consider it stolen.

        Whoa, Gov Hairgel got fag-shamed by the cabinet-level homo. Awesome.

      • Threedoor

        Heather Heying called Newsom something like that at least a year ago but I can’t remember what it was. Something Ken Doll and it was better than Sparkle Beach.

  15. The Late P Brooks

    Buzzword bingo

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., warned Friday at the Munich Security Conference that Western democracies must deliver “material gains for the working class” to defeat the rise of authoritarianism and protect the institutions they value.

    ——-

    “So it is of utmost urgent priority that we get our economic houses in order and deliver material gains for the working class,” she said. “Or else we will fall to a more isolated world governed by authoritarians that also do not deliver to working people.”

    Blah blah blah workers of the world, unite.

  16. The Late P Brooks

    Ocasio-Cortez smiled and sidestepped a pointed question from a moderator who asked if she’ll seek to impose a wealth tax or a billionaires tax “when you run for president.”

    “I think that we don’t have to wait for any one president to impose a wealth tax,” the congresswoman said. “I think that it needs to be done expeditiously.”

    That goose over there, laying those golden eggs; it looks delicious. We should eat it.

    • Suthenboy

      The cookie-cutter commies are so tiresome. Every new batch of them go for the same tried and failed policies that appeal to the worst parts of human nature. Proof positive that they are there to loot, not govern. Ultimately the blame lies on the people.

    • rhywun

      It’s cute that anyone is taking that stuff seriously.

      • rhywun

        It’s cute that anyone is taking that stuff seriously.

      • rhywun

        Huh. How’d I do that?

  17. The Late P Brooks

    Why would they be?

    During the 2021 storm the state’s grid struggled to keep up with surging demand for electricity as Texans turned up their heaters while much of the state endured sub-freezing temperatures for multiple days.

    Many of the state’s power plants failed as they were not designed to withstand extreme winter weather.

    There’s no such thing as winter in the Global Climate Tipping Point era. Winter-proofing the grid would be a waste of money better spent on windmills and solar panels.

  18. The Late P Brooks

    Sparkle Beach Ken is great. Consider it stolen.

    The Treasury Secretary called him that.

  19. Tonio

    Okay, we know that things aren’t working exactly right, at least for some of you. We know things look different than they do normally. It may take a while (days) to resolve that. As you know from the morning post, WebDom and L0B0T are planning a romantic evening. I fixed this post while shivering my ass off wearing only an impractical and trashy red garment which the boyfriend bought for me, and am now about to start prepping veggies for dinner. Hope you all have a great Valentine’s day.

This past week one of the ladies had a heart attack and will be out of circulation for awhile. Thursday’s meet up was 5, 1 widow, 3 widowers, I was the only one with a wife. There are still a few others around but dementia and infirmities keep them from participating.
