Beer Mad Words

Riding is Therapy... I started riding 3 years ago when I bought my first bike, I've grown as a rider and as a human in the 30000 odd kilometers I've been on the tarmac. As a noob even I thought riding was therapy, when ever I was angry i'd pick my bike up and drown the noises in my head in the wind blast at speeds greater than 150 and it never worked. The fear of Death was never enough to scare away the demons in the head. It took 621 kilometres and 533 minutes of silence on the saddle to figure out the fact riding alone is never therapeutic. Riding was meant to be a mode of finding peace, it was a mode of enjoying that peace and finding your self in that silence. Being alone with your thoughts locked inside a helmet for kilometers at a stretch, you talk to your self, you argue with your self, and as time progresses and the kilometers tick by, you stop giving a fuck... Issues ? Problems ? As long as there is petrol in my monster, nothing on this planet can hamper my ...

I've been riding with a group called Outlawz Bikers Amritsar for about 3 years now, in the said 3 years I learnt the art of clicking Motorcycles ( stationary ) by a technique frowned upon in the " Quality control " ( #referencetoengineering ) called HIT AND TRIAL METHOD. So it is my job to help the world click better pictures, here goes the first of many post to follow on BIKE DA PHOTOSHOOT. Equipment needed : Camera ( even a phone camera works )  and a Bike Location : Doesn't Matter, the name of the game is Composition. Point one : Go Down Literally go down, when clicking against a well lit background the best thing to do is go as low as possible while keeping the bike in the middle of the frame or towards one corner of the grid, make sure it covers atleast two squares. I forgot to mention always keep the grid on for better compositions, lets face it we are not the MOTOGRAPHER. Point Two : Flash Is Banned Unless it is a passport size picture of your...

I have waited so long for the Maize(y) froth less brewed goodness from MEXICO to get its arse back to the liquor vends in Punjab, and it is finally here. A Pale Lager and it is actually quite pale, with a dull straw colored watered down body and a minimal white head that is and should not be called a " HEAD ". Take a Whiff of CORONA and take a Whiff of raw corn the similarities are abundant, and that is a good thing since this pale lager is among the few maize dominant beers available in the Indian beer scene and it stays true to the promise of a Light bodied Corn beer with a minimal hint of the grassy hop feel that at best is hidden in the sweetness form the iota of rice they add in the Beer. Alcoholmeter rating or Daaru ki Pappi 4.5 % is not bad, most medium beers with the same alcohol content get a tad bitter in the end and practically piss like when flat and lukewarm but not the corona, it hides the 4.5 % in the sweetness of the corn and rice, and it hides it...

Malty Baby a good old Malt dominant sweet light Lager that is a much needed change of taste in a state with SUPERSTRONG dominance. Brewed Malty goodness with a Fizzy good head, I'd like a little more bitter Hoppy taste at the end but it is the fruity esters that dominate the bloodhound test of smell and sweet Malty taste that overshadow the minute hop that the beer has. Skipping the beating around the bush as i would like to enjoy the beer more and spend less time judging it, BEERBIKER SCALE DAARU DI PAAPI : Missing in worst case scenario and " Just In "  in the best case... Its a light beer what do we expect under 3.25 claimed and it is, you'd need a 6 pack to get a buzz ( not recommend ) 2 Points Chuggability : Pour it in a open headed glass and even some like me who cannot gulp can chug this baby under 5 seconds. 5 Points Paagi Thekka Kithe : In a state that loves its beer with a knockout punch of alcohol in it, the said beer will not be a...

Shifting gyms is hard from being the beast that people knew to a noob at a new gym. You never can be the biggest or the badest everywhere you choose to lift and that is something I'm still not used to, so first day I choose to mark my territory with a basic endurance dominated circuit I call the 100reds. Bench Press 135 pounds ( 20 kilos per side ) for 60  reps done over 4 sets Bench Press 170 Pounds ( 30 kilos for 30 reps broken down into 3 sets ) Dumbbell 30 kilos on a 15 degree incline bench for 10 reps Legpress 100 kilos warmup set of 20 Followed up with another 40 done in 2 sets keeping weight constant. End it with 140 kilos for 15 reps and then dropping it down to 80 kilos and finishing off a 100 repetitions. Back Attack 135 pounds on the Barbell and 40 kilos on the dumbbell for 10 sets of 10 reps each. With a minute break between sets. We do classic rows for 5 on the Bar then 5 single arm rows on the dumbbell for a total of 100 reps. Pumping it all home with a 10 ...

The day starts with a sleepless night and a 3 hours exam,thank god for chilled beer for sleepless is unbearable. Stop one on the search for the mighty Bira and White Rhino is the Hauz Khas Social... #Dissapointment Budweiser With a country obsessed with INDIA PLE ALE's in the Craft scene this hop less malty sweet beer is on a tangent that feels a little weak. The head is good but Heineken does it better, for a beer that claims to be the king of beers, A big Nope. Chuggable from the word go and even after being awake for 36 hours this Mild beer won't hit, drink on me hearties... Next Step Beer Cafe God bless the creator of beer cafe one stop solution of the BEER fix... We struck gold and found every thing that I had been craving for about an year. Being broke teaches you how to respect a budget, I had about 1500 left after the Budwiser and I had to try 4 Beers, #Challengeaccepted White Rhino Lager : The beer deserves a post of its own, ...

Radler is basically one part Beer ( usually a Light bodied, Mild Alcohol by volume Lager or a Pilsner ) and one part Lemon Soda or Lemon juice. The said beers falls under a main heading of Beers called Shandy, it is one hell of a refreshing drink. #maltandcochandigarh have take the lead in perfecting summer time beer ( Hops and Grains with their Weiss with Orange Peels is a close second ) A very light drink the Radler, for a better part of the drinking game it does not even feel like a beer, but it has a under tone of the German Lager with a subtle Malty b ase, but the lemon over powers and deciphering the flavour chart is on the complex side of the scale. Minimal head and carbonation, I'm looking for a word that is synonyms with " Flat " but i guess that is how the Beer should be. Less than 5 % ABV and a sweet Lemony after taste... Yo Barkeep! get me a Hulk mug, i'ma chug this baby down by the Liters.

If you can jerk off after a session of the Fat guy lifting arms day, you are a super human. _beerbiker_ Warmup 5 Sets of Chin ups Superset with Pushups 30 seconds between sets to stretch Warm up 2 : Barbell weight less curl for 100 reps Exercise one Barbell curls on the 5 footer for super strong days I try using the Olympic bar but that is rare Pyramid style I personally start with 5 kilos per side for set one 10 kg for set two for 8-12 reps 15 kg for set three 20 kg for set 4, set 4 is usually for about 5-7 reps with a second squeeze pause at the top and slow downward movement... 15 kg for set 5 for 7-9 reps 10 kg for set 6 for 8-12 reps 5 kg for set 7 for 12-15 reps Exercise Two : Bicep Tricep Heavy burning We pick a medium heavy weight on a EZ bar or a 5 footer barbell I personally do 4 sets of 10 kg per side And then do 3 sets heavy with 15 odd kilos per side, end the workout with a set or two of 20 kilos per side.

Two similar beers brewed at the same plant by United Breweries and sold as almost the same price with a mean of 140 per pint ( Rate List in Punjab ). There is a grapewine in the beer scene that it is possible that Ultra is just rebatched Heineken. It is easy believing the claim as the beers are indeed similar and the fact that Heineken practically calls the shots in the United Breweries with a 43 % share hold. Considering how I am not the regular beer reviewer and I am not at the level ( yet ) to break down the brewing process of both the beers, I'm going to try and put the rumor mills to the rest with a simple analysis that almost all of us beer chuggers can use. Step one : The layer of froth and Carbonation Pour both the beers into a similar glasses, I would recommend an standard Pint Glass for easier pouring. Heineken has a slightly higher number of bubbles rising and the Head ( Froth ) is stronger ( read visibly larger ). Step two : color difference , we coul...

For a Beer lover and as a reviewer of main stream mass produced beer's there are a few places better than the Beer Cafe. Amritsar, a city 250 kilometers away from the centre of activity around Punjab was blessed by the beer gods and Beer Cafe opened its doors a few years back. The location lost in some dark corner on the fourth floor of a Huge mall, It never got to fulfill its true potential and eventually had to seal them taps and pack them beers mugs, before we jump to conclusion with this post being a vent about how amritsar does not get anything... Zara ruko to sahi Beer Cafe is back and there is a happy ending. On the way back from the gym, I took a detour and on my left was a shining new board with The Beer Cafe in Bold, one U turn later was perhaps the better interiors among the BARS in Amritsar.  They choose to Relocate and not give up on a city that needs good BARS. My dictionary is a little limited in the description part for the interiors, they had empty bo...

" Beauty lies in the eyes of the beer holder " After a clichéd quote to begin the second post, lets talk a bit more about the idea of BEER Reviews. After following a couple of pages and profiles that talk about BEER on almost every possible social media platform, I came to one conclusion; " GHANTA NAHI SAMAJ AAYA " ( I understood nothing ). The reviewers with their sensitive taste pallet shot out words like Crisp,its synonyms, Aggressive and at times Fruity. I have a lot of respect to the big lads and the old boys in the beer reviewing business but understanding the review and then implementing it while guzzling down beer is an idea on a tangent to practical, there fore I'm gonna be using a very different approach, its not scientific but is extremely easy and surprisingly practical. On that note Burrrrraaaaaaaah Beer for a regular drinker is a light drink and a number of my mates do not even consider it an actual alcoholic beverage; bloody idiots. So the ...

My Thekka or the Liquor Store I buy my stock from called up About a New batch with Carling and Haywards etc had come in, and I would no longer have to make do with the Thunderbolt. So we picked up our Helmet and Rode down to the thekka in the middle of a wet evening with occasional thunder to get our beer fix. The ride in the rain was worth it, the BEER... Bleh Not at all... CARLING BRITAINS NUMBER ONE BEER, I did not say that it is written on the bloody Label. Generic Beer at best and too bloody expensive for absolutely no reason. C.B.S.E style point system Color : Buttery Yellow with a Shimmy Finish, just like every other super strong beer on sale in Punjab. Alcohol Level : 5.25 to 8.25 % Legs on the side of the glass look neat and are decent. Carbonation : I liked the Carbonation, for a bottle that had a few hours in the Refrigerator to settle down to its ground state, even before the first sip there was a good thick layer of Foam on top of the bot...

Its been a month since the last time a good beer travelled north of Delhi, deep into the heart of Punjab. With the supreme court tightening the noose around the supply of Alcohol, aapna thekka Chandigarh is rendered useless. We Punjabi's are stuck with an old stock of super strong beer and we take on the Thunderbolt tonight Super bloodystrong beer, 8.25 % alcohol volume, a very bitter after taste. Made with every possible ingredient that can be fermented. It has Wheat It has Barley It has Rice It has some More Wheat It can have some Potato too It most definitely has Hops and a lot of them Paagi Thekka kithe : Thunderbolt has taken over the city, if you ask for beer in Amritsar you are going to get Thunderbolt only 5 points Chuggabilty : If you love your larynx please drink it slow. This Buttery yellow hue wali beer has a very strong case of over carbonated and it is a Superstrong beer there fore bitter is an understatement. Pop the lid and the beer rushes ...

I was in pre school when a 350cc Dug Dug machine came home, I'm 23 and I'd be lying if I tell you I do not feel like that 3 year old kid every time I see a Bullet, with time slowing down, the heart beat getting more and more audible... It is safe to say I was and am I love with a Bullet. I've been mocked a number of times when I tell people my dream bike is a Bullet Restored to its past glory, hear me out before you draw them swords of technical capacity and the fact that I ride a DUKE 390. I ride a Duke 390, it is my first bike and the only reason I picked it over a bullet is this " I want to earn the RE rider batch, I want to have worked for x amount of time before I walk to the store and pay every last penny for the Bike in Cash and walk out with the first " Owned " thing in my life ". I guess it was dad that made a light hearted comment when I was 5 or 6, " you will become an adult the day you earn your self a BULLET. I can write a passa...

The day that defines the week, I usually start my week with a day of heavy lifting targeted at the back and the shoulder. That being said I do not do double muscle groups dude to a time constraint, but I always sneak in an extra 50 reps for a compound movement with every workout. #gottolookbroadasfuck Back Day is Simple Equipment needed #1 A Full Size Heavy Barbell PS : A Five Footer or a 6 Foot barbell is good but won't fit into the plan I use. #2 A minimum of 4 Plates of a Weight And Two plates of a weight 50 % less than that. Example I use 45 Pound Plates, so I'll have 4*45 and 2*25 ( the math don't add but that's the standard weight at my gym ) In kilograms 20 Kilo and 10 Kilo Plates. #3 Dumbbells a Lot of Dumbbells Workout follows a 6 set with 15 second rest policy The reps stay constant for a weight and I increase the weight after 2 sets. Reps counter is 15 for the first Set at minimum weight, 8 For the second medium heavy and 4 for the heaviest. ...

All the literature, the music will mean nothing if you don't have some one to relate it with. There is a reason romance and its gooey synonyms rule the world of poetry and music, we are suckers for love and oblivious to the pain it comes with. Nothing lasts forever, but the constant noise that keeps playing in your head post the termination of what was supposed to last for an eternity. Read all the tips to move on, all the literature for a broken heart, run the record on a loop till it runs flat ( old school saying for listening to a song till it becomes unbearable ), as linkin park once said In the end, it does'nt even matter. In a generation with rebounds a plenty and love a little too less, being an old school romantic is a different hell. Forget what the world suggests as the best method, there is no best method.  TIME heals nothing, for being is Love fucks up the Brain and reprogramming that Arsehole takes a an eternity. Put up a false veil and keep walking, keep pr...

" I the Hates the Chest Day " Probably because it is among my weakest muscle group, that being said my target has never been heavy arse weight on chest day, it is always proper form and Squeeze Motherfather. The work out is meant for maximum calorie burn, I consume a lot so it is important to burn them off. We start simple with a round of warming up with kettle bell swings superset with Pushups for a set of 10 done thrice. Book a bench put any weight on the barbell ( I use a classic 45 pounds a side ) and lets go. Each rep is to be broken down into two parts a Slow downward motion and a Fast up ward motion, we pause for a second at the top and at the bottom. A minimum of 6 reps and baki bonus. We stick to a classic pattern of 5 sets per weight, that means we do 5 sets at 45 Pounds then move to exercise number two. I forgot to mention we don't rest for more than 45 seconds in between sets, the rest is dedicated to stretching the used muscles and not staring at th...

Modern day bullshit : You got be a muscled up aesthetic specimen if you want to prove you like the gym. I ask why ? The second alternative is to be boulder of a human capable of lifting a house in one hand and squat the weight of the freaking sun. SAME Question again WHY ? I've had people laugh when I tell them I like lifting weight and never miss working out. So what if I don't fall into either of the above two categories ? I am the Fat guy that lifts and I fucking love it. Yeah it is hard walking into the gym in your hoody while world is dressed in stringers, yes it is hard to look at the all the abs and wonder the fuck am I doing wrong. The truth is we ain't doing nothing wrong, the idea of physically fit is flawed. We judge fitness by the percentage of fat around the gut and not the capacity to run a mile under 3 minutes. Fitness is judged by the hard arse abs and not the capacity to do 100 odd crunches. Being fat is not synonyms with being unfit, you get o...

I am disappointed, the worst beer I've had till date. Mango Flavoured Barley water does not qualify as beer. I may not be know the first word of brewing beer but I know two thing you cannot sell flavoured water by calling it BEER, that is unethical. I don't even want to write a post about it, C.B.S.E style point system for today. 1. Flat, literally no Head on a Beer ? 2. Absolutely no Bubbles 3. Too Strong Mango Flavour 4. Absolutely nothing special about the special brew, except the Glass it was served in 5. Zero Buzz 6. Some one forgot to put Hops ( they aren't capable of Zero IBU ) Wak Factor : ZERO ALCHOMETER RATING : 2, It had about 3 % Alcohol content or less, it was a very weak beer . Chuggability : how fast can you chug mango wala soda ? Damn you protocol, 5 underserving points for the Mango Burp Factor : Since it is my bloody rating scale a negative infinity. Flat as the bottom of a Cardboard box, no carbondioxide no burp. A big bloody 0 Monet...

If it is a kingfisher; it is a LAGER and the Ultra is literally the Rolls Royce of the indian made mass produced lager universe. I heard a grapewine about Ultra being just a rebranded batch of Heineken brewed by the United Breweries Limited ( the parent company of Kingfisher ), I do not know how true the information is but both the Pints costs the same and have similar tastes. " Yellow Yellow dirty fellow "; to be honest I am not a fan of the generic kingfisher lager from the Green Bottle to the UB export and on rare occasions the Blue too, they all have the similar taste and once it is out of the bottle the carbonation and the head level is not very strong too, but the ULTRA is a little different. Experts will be a better judge on the quality of brew and breaking down the components but from an average beer drinkers point of view three very simple things can be observed about the Beer in Study. #1 The Color or Colour : As mentioned above the Ultra is a Sparkl...

What do you get when a microbrewer takes over the beer supply of a city ? A Flat beer which does not ever deserve to be in the league of the DARK beer's. Gabru is a strong beer and a new taste for the Lager chugging Ambarsari, that being said we sure love this beer, so much so that the tanks go dry. Breaking down GABRU it is a very different Dark Beer, it does not have the Texture of a BOCK and lacks the after taste of a Stout, It is Strong dark for sure but it is not even a DRUNKL. I don't know where do I put this beer, strong and dark but without an aftertaste of Coffee; GABRU is GABRU Jumping into the Rating Wak Factor ;  Ghanta WAk, it is a strong beer with a taste of a Light beer and that is not a good thing. I had no wak there fore it gets a score of 1, cant give it a zero ( personal bias ). Paagi Theeka Kithe : BREWED by Brew masters, available on licence at n numbers of Bars spread across Punjab, chances of finding Gabru are at par Kingfisher Draught especial...

Over the year's I've had the biggest buggers of a Desi 10000 Watt ( yeah that is a beer ) to the most exquisite Avocado beer at some brewery in the NCR, not once I have come across a beer that beats the shit out of me and then laughs at my passed out face; this insane bugger was the GERMAN BOCK by a brewery called the GREAT BEAR. The Bock hits you like a RKO out of no where but like a bloody F5, it is a very smooth dark beer that hide's in the background and when you least expect it hit's you like a hurricane. At a very high 8-12 % alcohol content and a very hoppy after taste the GERMAN BOCK land's it self in the PEG territory. Wak Factor For a beer capable of leading to stupid decisions this beer is does not have a very high wak factor, for a heavy drinker it will slide down just like the STOUT did. The point to note is that despite having a lower Wak factor than a GodFather this beer is heavy to gulp down, I will l...

This 15 mile a side a bugger has been the centre of attraction of PUNJAB & HARAYANA for about 60 goddamn years. Well, the booze is cheap and god  bless the buggers that made it the centre of " Craft " beer ; North of Delhi. This post is dedicated to the LIST of places the BEERBIKER is most likely to be found on a weekend. Mera Pehla Pyarr: THE THE THE Hops and Grains Ever letter I type is not enough to describe the love and regard I have for the Hop's, back in 2014 this was the first time I ever had CRAFT beer and boy I've been in love with the DRUNKELS and SPECIAL's . I don't care if the Beer tastes like crap to the rest of the Kingfisher drinking idiots in the TRICITY area, for the 1 percent humans who know beer HOP's is EPIC. The Brew Estate one of the discussions I've had with my beer gang was about the possibility of perfecting the STOUT, I have to say the buggers at Brew Estate have perfected it. In a 100 mile radius of the TRICITY if...

It is among the Super Strong Sons of a beers on sale, at a high percentage of 8.25 % with a very strong taste of Hops ( aka Bitter like hell ). KingFisher Red has some competition a few cans of this monster are good enough to send the best of us in the state of Trance, a few extra cans and bam you are gonna be puking your innards out. Its a beer made in Punjab by Punjab and for Punjab, therefore Burrrraaaaaaaaaa alert if ever you wish to knock your self out with beer. Yes, I know Haywards is owned by SABMILLER group, which originated in London England, the beer under consideration is brewed by ADIE BROSWON BREWERIES LIMITED ( the same plant that makes another very strong beer called Carling ) just outside of GURDASPUR, PUNJAB. A bit of research ( reading the label ) you come across the components, barley, malted barley, the bitter blast of hops and our magic portion Yeast, till this point its alright nothing too special but there another component that is a bit ambiguous RIC...

Stout : It is a dark beer with a after taste that is remotely like that of coffee, in beer terms is one hell of a strong beer with an alcohol percentage of above 8 %. Stout being a strong beer is a little more bitter  than the Lager we are used to, it should not be confused with a Dunkel; which is also a dark beer but is brewed in a different way. Now taste wise you cannot exactly differentiate between the two, it is said beauty lies in the eyes of the beer holder, the same goes for the taste difference some of us may notice a variation and then there are people like me who are yet to figure out the difference between a Dark Chocolate understate and a mild roasted coffee bean after taste. Now that we have the definition clear we dive right into the review...
