Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The hops, I guess -- like yeast, but mega-oppressive.
Nah, hops are strong-smelling, but herby-grassy. The overpowering brewery funk of which you speak is dying yeast and spent grains and fermentative microbial farts.
(also, I have yet to be convinced that they let hops anywhere near Budweiser.)
Then how come Nicole's place doesn't smell horrible like Bud?
Okay, wait, maybe the beer's not horrible like Bud.
In college, I remember arguing with my friend's mom when she would say we smelled "like a brewery" on a Saturday morning. Glad to know I was right -- I'm sure we smelled like a bar, but it's not the same!
Do they do the bottling/canning at the brewery? Maybe you smelled like that room.
How are you feeling today, ita? Any improvement?
fermentative microbial farts
YUM! Been here two years and have never heard it described that way. I might need to educate some of my co-workers now.
My boss finally rolled in to work. I'm going to lunch.

Now I'm picturing your boss as spherical.

I'm a freak -- I love the smell of the overpowering brewery funk. LOVE.
I pass a Jim Beam distillery on my way to and from a friend's house, and I love figuring out what they're distilling based on the smell. Sometimes it's peach schnapps. Yum. But bourbon? Also yum. LOVE.

I'm guessing Nicole's place leaves out the ass and the bear whiz that Bud uses so prominently.
I'm half convinced that the reason I find beer so disgusting is due to a trip to a Soviet brewery when I was barely 16. If you've never tasted beer prior to such an experience, I don't think anyone anywhere would even consider it. Blyeah.
