Feeeeed me, Seymour! Today's hops&horrors beer pairing goes goofy, just because I couldn't pass up a movie that the word horror in it. But that isn't all that makes this movie so great, it also has a soul singing, man-eating plant (that looks a just a bit like a hop) and it features Louis Tully - you know the Keymaster.
"Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! "
But I digress....
For this beer pairing, I am getting back at that man-eating plant by suggesting a beer that is full of the freshest hop plant, that I know. Great Divide's, Fresh Hop Pale Ale is a fall favorite of mine and not just because it tastes great. In 2006 a couple buddies and I went to GABF and spent a few days touring breweries before the festival started. We just happened to come across Great Divide, barely 2 years old at the time, and the brew floor was open up to everyone to celebrate GABF. We ended up getting a private tour with the brewmaster (my friend had on a Macallan shirt which happened to be the brewmaster's, girlfriend's favorite Scotch and the reason we got in on tour in the first place) and were poured samples of a brand new beer they were getting ready to release, out of the still fermenting uni-tank.
