they should see my homebrew. I just rack the wort a few times, no fining or filtering, and I carbonate with a secondary fermentation in the bottle. So there's a nice layer of yeast carcasses on the bottom of the bottles :9
My favorite local Hefe Weissen in Germany was just like that - with a cloudy layer of yeast on the bottom. That beer was amazing, though sadly it gave me headaches like nothing else.
The gasthaus was right next to scenic farms so we also got to enjoy the aroma of fresh fertilizer being sprayed on the fields and they don't use fancy chemicals but old-fashioned poop.
I did a raspberry wheat a few years ago, using fresh fruit that my sister had gathered. Only I probably should have filtered, because it was full of raspberry floaties and foamed like a son of a bitch whenever I opened a bottle.
While this is hilarious, the Guiness one is forgetting the fish bladders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isinglass) that they use. *vomits* I'll stick with my state-side stouts, thank you very much.
They're one of the few that I'm aware of. Most have stopped using it in favor of man-made fining agents. (I worked in a brewery for a decade and was kept abreast of all the trends of the trade.) Stouts made in Ireland and the U.K. use it, and that's about it as far as major brands.
Ah, major brands. I should have worded that better to not make it sound like I had any kind of expertise on the issue; the only reason I know about it in the first place is from a friend who likes craft beers, whose wife is vegan, so therefore he's more aware of isinglass use.
Right on. I, too, am hyper-sensitive of isinglass use. Obviously on the craft end, you just need to know your brewery and ask them. Micro-breweries tend to be run by pretty nice people that are super good about being upfront about their ingredients.

So while funny, the middle left one is less funny than it thinks it is.

It was still good though, so fuck it.

I dunno. I just stop drinking about a half inch before I hit the carcass layer and pour the rest out
