maltose fairies

You know I get chaffed with the beer wizards who can’t stand a good bitter, think everything ought to taste like Chimay, but don’t know basic sugar chemistry. These guys that want their brews to waft of banana and esters, and can’t stomach the idea of a batch bottled in plastic jugs? They gotta come down off it. It’s beer. Beer’s good. But it’s just beer. I make it and drink it because I’m thirsty and it gives me a buzz. That’s it.
