Ulog #09 - Call Me Captain Jack Black
Hey Steemians, Ufloggers & ye yellow-bellies
This is the tale, of Captain Jack Black Pirate so brave on the 7 seas, he had a treasure map pointing to the Island of Tortuga with adventure ahead, we don't know what lies in store for o'l Cappin ey. Well, I wish it was more of a pirate story, the only piracy I can pull off was downloading illegal copies of movies off torrent sites, but never the less equally badass.
But where was I? Ah yes, why they call me Captain Jack Black. The short answer is they don't I just picked the title because it sounded cool and clickbaity, if you're reading this you've proved my point.
Any way @see-it-feel-it says she misses the old me and ulogging about alcohol so this post is for you :). I recently spent about 56 SBD on some beers from a local craft brewery because well one can never have too many beers right. I got a good deal and scored 4 packs so that's 96 beers, buying in bulk is the smart way to save -Ches finance tip #001!
96 bottles of beer in my house, 96 bottles of beer, you take one down, pass it around, get tipsy and shout at how shitty the Springboks play!
Jack Black
Just to give you a little background, Jack Black is a Cape Town based craft brewery with a taste room in the South of the city and is sold in quite a few stores and bars lately,. It used to be hard to find back in the day but they've really don't a great job in punting the brand over the last few years.
My shopping haul
So what did I get? I decided to buy 4 different types and of Jack Black because I can, it's my house dammit, I do what I like!
Keller Pils
As of now, I'm 18 beers into this journey which I really only do for your benefit, this selfless sacrifice I've made to ensure you get the best quality content I can produce. It's a thankless job but you know I'm just the man to do it.
It can be quite harsh if you first take a sip but you get used to it after a while, it is slightly bitter but the finish is really bitter and it tends to linger. Not really my favourite but I can see why those who prefer that style of beer would like it, like those damn Germans! The Pilsner needs to be had icy cold, as cold as possible, if not you're not going to have a good time!
Brewers Lager
Atlantic Weiss
Cape Pale Ale
I'll milk it
In the interest of dragging this post out and avoiding writer's block, i"ll stretch this one into a series of posts. I'll give you a more detailed rundown of each one in future posts because mans not that great at remembering stuff after a few beers, like has anyone seen my car keys? my phone? my self-control or my morals? Oh well, let's worry about that in the morning, shall we have another? One for the road perhaps?
Have at it
Do you like to drink beer? Or are you more of a Rum kinda pirate when searching for buried treasure? Let me know in the comments. Let's talk drinks, over drinks because I heard you like drinking.

Hey Captain Jack Black! :D 96 bottles of beer! Lol
Probably everything you do, you do with passion!
Recently I have been drinking about 1 beer for 3 months so it would take me 24 years to drink all your stock. :D
Will you compare these beers? Taste, bitterness (IBU) and so on? If so, it would be great! When I'm in South Africa, I could immediately reach for a beer that I would probably like the most.
No sense in doing anything half arsed, then you might as well not do it at all.
Lol if i drank 1 beer every 3 months I think every beer I had would taste like the best beer ever and I wouldn't be a good judge of taste.
Sure, I'll compare the Jack Blacks and then I think I'll move on to Devils Peak, Darling Beer and Stellenbrau which are the other popular Cape Town Craft beer brewries! :)

I watched the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" last night. How accurate was it?
I think they hyped it up bigger than it was! I wasn’t born during that era but when the documentary came out in 2012 I asked my parents and family members and none of them knew who he was
But then again it was in a time where we were still in apartheid so plenty of segregation and censorship so I can see why it never spread into the black/majority community!
So from my side no it wasn’t huge!

Well I guess one part was true. Nobody in America ever heard of him either. Thanks for giving me that bit of South African insight. Damn I love the internet.
