Too Fast to Last

Fast Eddy's

Prince Eddy's Brewing Co.

4% Alcohol

Fast Eddy’s. A river raft run, perhaps? Or a souped-up Edsel. I’d like to think it was Newman’s Oscar nominated role in The Hustler. *

Fast Eddies

Fast Eddie: So why go to college?

Sarah: Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Fast Eddie: What do you do on the other days?

Sarah: I drink. **

That Sarah was a College girl after my own heart.

Time to rack ‘em up and break this brew. As Fast Eddie would say, “here we go: fast and loose.”  

Fast and loose juice

Our sandbanks sudmasters, Prince Eddy’s , serves up a light and golden, clearly clear beer right on cue. Mild malt aroma. The word light comes to mind. First taste is a watery mouthfeel, malt to lager sweet. No bitters or crisp, just a smooth game ball eight in the end pocket called shot that you can take to the bank finish. It is a smooth stroke, full flavoured but oh so drinkable. Just like Eddie, too fast to last. The sweet stays the course, it’s not quite a honey lager, but it is a honey of a lager. It’s a run the table brewski, a winner.

*Editor’s Comment: The 1961 movie The Hustler stared Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson, Piper Laurie (Sarah), George C. Scott and Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats. All the starring actors were nominated for Academy Awards for their roles. Newman later reprised his role of Fast Eddie in the 1986 Scorsese movie The Color of Money which earned him his only best actor Oscar. It is generally thought that this Oscar win was a belated nod for his performance in The Hustler, as well as some of his most noteworthy movie roles including Cool Hand Luke.

**Editor’s Comment: Sounds like your 4th year of College. Or was that your 5th year?
