Hey. Do you wanna come in the back, have a look at summat?

The Bear-Man growled dauntingly through his thick and curly black beard.

I had only just arrived in his speciality beer shop and it seemed that already the Bear-Man was up to his come and get murdered antics.

I looked at him and then to the back where an open door brooded menacingly.

It looked very dark behind that door. Very dark indeed.

I had no doubt in my mind that if I went in the back I would be drowning in penis & murder soup faster than you could say hot-dawgy-tarnation.

In the back you say?

I played for time whilst assessing my combat vectors.

Aye, come on. Ah got summat special for ya...

He gave me a gnarly wink as if I was a maid and he a powerful French Banker.

I hesitated a little.

Summat special he claimed. Was I about to be cruelty teabagged before being bundled in a box and shipped off to a Saudi Prince?

Not again.

Come on... It's something you will never have seen before!

The Bear-Man urged as he walked past me toward the yawning black emptiness of the door at the back.

I've seen a lot of things.

I said with steel in my voice.

I was half tempted to give him the whole something over the something of Orion speech from Bladerunner but I couldn't remember it.

Come on, stop being a narsole. You will never believe what I've just got in.

He was standing by the door now, his middle finger twitching at me, beckoning me to my doom.

This time I knew it was for real. If I went over to that door I was a dead man. Or a Saudi Prince's penis-puppet. I wasn't sure what was worst.

Come on. I'll give you one for free?

BASTARD!? he said the word that is Kryptonite to all Scots.

I found myself walking over.

Go on what is it then?

I grudgingly mumbled as I stepped up to the dark doorway.

Mushrooms. Have you ever had a mushroom beer? Not just about old mushroom either... porcini mushrooms...

He held a can out to me.

It was a black can. Dark and foreboding. I reached out and touched it. It was cold. Cold and evil.

Ugh, no. No. You cant make beer with mushrooms, that's obscene!? Who would do such a thing? I don't want it, it's a foul idea. Yuk. Utter boak material. It will taste of shite!?

I flinched and attempted to hand it back to the Bear-Man.

He held a hand out to refuse me.

But it's free... Surely you won't let me down?

He uttered softly.

I... I...

I fluttered weakly.

I'll take it...

Sort:  

"Come on. I'll give you one for free?

BASTARD!? he said the word that is Kryptonite to all Scots." true dat! (for realz, I've got a lot of Scot in me!)

Aye. When the magic word is spoken all the barriers come down!! :0D

Ugh, I no likey mushrooms...but for free, yeah, I'd definitely try it!

I'm really torn. I don't like them much either and the idea of a mushroom beer is giving me the big time boak. Yikes!!!



Hey @meesterboom, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

BASTARD!? he said the word that is Kryptonite to all Scots.

When I was young I heard from a Scotsman, when he opens his wallet - moths fly out.

It's true of most of them, I pride myself in being different from the herd!

Mushroom beer? this is gonna be good!

Yech. I hope so but isn't mushroom beer stretching the very limits of what should be allowed!!

Hello dear friend @ meesterboom, who has come up with a beer of champignon, you have to be brave to try one, but who could give up when it's free. Tomorrow I don't try the tasting. Crossing fingers
I wish you a wonderful night

I have every finger crossed that the teasting wont be awful!
cheers jlufer!

It was free, so I guess you've gotta try it...

Exactly. The very idea is giving me slight nightmares but heck... It was free!

Hahaha. Of course you took a free beer. Also mushrooms seem to be turning up in everything now. Coffee, tea, beer. Looking forward to the review!

Also I'm back again. I was in a silent meditation retreat for 7 days with no internet privileges and then on a shamanic training course,\ so I was in othe worlds, not just Bali.

Now I'm just in Bali.

Mushrooms in coffee... Nooooooooo!!

And good lord, that sounds awesome!! You do the coolest things!
