Epic Fail?

[vifferman]

I bought some beer today, including a really nice-looking one from a boutique brewery. When I cracked it and got around to perusing the label, I discovered it proudly proclaimed it was an "organic beer".
"Hmmm...." I thought, "that's an epic fail if ever there was one!"

Talk about laugh - I very nearly started.
It tasted OK though...

Why is it still in your mouth and can you stop nodding.

[vifferman]

Nah, it's in my tummy now - all 500ml of it.

Have you twigged yet what is wrong with having "organic" and "beer" in close proximity?

NOooo, are you trying to tell me it's not possible??

Oh my, I'm shattered!!

It's perfectly possible - the empty in the recyclatron is evidence of that. However, it is kind of ironic. Or perhaps oxymoronic would be more correct.

Inorganic beer rocks.

Inorganic beer rocks.

Where do the rocks come into it, and how are they inorganic?

[vifferman]

I expected you'd show up sooner or later, Dr Hitcher.
I'm not sure if I would've bought the "organic beer" if I'd read the label.
Maybe I would have - the price wasn't the normal inflated nonsense organicists charge for their (usually substandard) produce.

They're not made of organs.
Apart from kidney stones, of course.

[Fatt Max]

Very good point sir,

Mind you, the penis is an organ and we all like to drink piss so that figures I suppose.

Silly , eh!

No it doesn't it's weak as water. Whatr Adam saw in it I'll never know.

[vifferman]

Hmmmm...
No-one's yet commented on the epic fail, oxymoronic thing yet.
Maybe it's just me...

I thought you meant the fail was that it didn't scream organic, and you didn't notice until you read the label closely. Nothing ironic about organic beer, they just make it with organic hops barley etc and don't put shitloads of chemicals in it. People have been brewing beer since ages ago.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!

Why not be healthy at the same time?

[McJim]

Organic means "Contains Carbon" or relates to organisms. It is impossible to make beer without yeast (organisms) therefore all beer (and fermented products) are, by definition organic.

So I don't get the oxymoronic nature of your comment. 'organic beer' is like 'wet water', 'frozen snow', 'gritty sand' and nice motorcycles.

But an oxymoron combines two opposites - 'military intelligence', 'honest politician', 'honourable thief'..etc.

I must be thick - please explain.

[piston broke]

i can't see the fail.
or are you saying that the fermentition process makes it (inorganic) ?
expect organic food to cost more as as someone has to keep a lookout for bugs and fungi,rather than just poisoning the food every week with sprays.
nz is getting a whole lot better with the chemicals we put on our food.
big up's to those leading the charge.
shite 10 min's later,wtf has this to do with bikes.(epic fail to me)
sorry
