Logger Lager

Redneck Logger

Redneck Brewing Co.

4.7% Alcohol

Logger, lager. Clever. Some would say this is a homophonic brewskie. * Definitely not to be confused with homophobic. And just to be clear, here at COMDB we strive to be politically correct in our reviews and views.  Even Sea Change’s blackberry wheat Prairie Fairie got a super suds score.

As for rednecks, I think Redneck Brewers are going for the hardworking, blue-collar lifestyle, with a deep connection to the outdoors, kinda redneck. As opposed to the easy rider rifle rack redneck or one of the deliverance dueling banjo dental nightmare ilk. **

I’m a Lumberjack and I’m Okay.

As for this axe wielding mucho macho handlebar mustachioed lumberjack riding the rapids on a rolling log, I see a number of safety concerns that need to be addressed. But according to Monty Python, “he’s a lumberjack and he’s OK” and that’s good enough for me. *** Time to get out the ol’ peavey hook and take this one for a spin. ****

Clear, dark golden and headless. A fresh malt aroma a bit of sweet, I’m logged in and logged on. The taste is watery malty, slight sweet and right to a flat finish. It seems like the finish was trying to be crisp but came up a little short. Just a good ol’ logger lager, nothing wrong with it but nothing special either.

*Editor’s Comment: Homophones are two words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. I’m surprised our Reviewer knew that, however considering “lager” has a homophone it does make some sense.

**Editor’s Comment: The 1969 movie Easy Rider with Dennis Hopper co-writing, directing and starring alongside Peter Fonda, was a critical and financial success. Spoiler Alert: The end for Wyatt and Billy comes at the hands of a couple of pickup driving rednecks. As for the 1972 movie Deliverance, Burt Reynolds and friends run afoul of the locals in a somewhat disturbing series of events resulting in Ned Beatty being at the wrong end of a nonconsensual same sex relationship.

***Editor’s Comment: In Monty Python’s 1975 “The Lumberjack Song” the everyday man who longs to be a lumberjack had some peccadillos which you would not immediately associate with such a “manly” profession. “I cut down trees. I skip and jump. I like to press wild flowers. I put on women's clothing, And hang around in bars. I cut down trees. I wear high heels, Suspendies, and a bra.I wish I'd been a girlie, Just like my dear Mama.”

****Editor’s Comment: A Peavey hook is a tool that lumberjacks used to roll logs into position. It is named after its inventor, Joseph Peavey, a Maine blacksmith and is a modification of the Cant hook. The Peavey could do some things that the Cant can’t. Sorry, I couldn’t resist that.
