TCrBF 2019 updates

6 May 2019

The TCrBF Board of Damagers are pleased to report:
This year, the festival brought more smiles and frowns than ever!

Also, since some things are best when chilled
(so that you can't taste them),
we were especially pleased to get 30 seconds of ice from the sky.
instead of the promised rain.
All hail Crap Beer!

And, as always,

the various contributions - glorious worldwide Crap,
all our sick and twisted visitors,
and the usual huge after-party

were much appreciated.
TCrBF just wouldn't be the shame without you.

See you next beer! Allegedly.

It might be wet outside, so let's make it wet inside too!

Cr'day, mate! We have a special t(h)reat for you.
Some choice Crap has floated in...
from about as low as you can go: Down Under.

We found this puppy* in the KKKelder, gazing at us longingly from its big bottle. So we took it home with us. We might let you PET it, if you clean up its mess afterward.

* Some puppies will tear your face off. Further studies are required.

What the Internets are saying about it, two sample reviews:

“A tick's a tick!”

“From the first arousing glance, from the first sensual taste, from the first exquisite drop, [this beer] is everything I ever dreamed of and more. I was a novice, an amateur, a child. I was in desperate need of fulfillment and satisfaction. I felt alone and vulnerable.
Until one day [...] i stumbled onto this magnificent beverage.
From the moment i felt the unmatched liquid caress my tongue [I] suddenly felt warmth. Not the kind of warmth you feel from a cosy jumper or a hot fire, but the kind of warmth that touches your soul and all of sudden i just knew everything would be ok.
Experiencing [this beer] was a flawless experience that changed my life. I have no idea how to thank the makers of this fine beer but i hope this review is the start.
Thank you.”

Today I am pleased to announce a contribution by
someone who either really loves us or really hates us:
the Hostess with the Mocnes.

Oh yes, there's a mocne in there, praised online thus:

“Yes indeed ”

“Pours nicely, piss yellow. Foams nicely. Smells like one week old underwear.
Acceptable after a bottle of vodka in good company. Good price per alkohol %.”

But it gets even better, or at least bigger:
Our panel of beer experts has awarded one of these drinkies a rating of 10 out of 10 for strength.

[That's not a can; THAT's a can]

Choice words from The Internet about it:

“[bleeping bleep] can of [bleep]!”

“Crazy litre can. [...] Warming corn alcohol palate. Garbage, awful.”

“Aroma of cooked vegetables. Taste is sweet veggies, light sewage.”

The latest entry in the TCrBF countdown...
is brought to you by the number
4.

That's right, we'll be offering you a set of four lovelies -
all canned ~~good~~badness from the vast crap fields of the United States.

You can look forward to four pours of pure artificial flavours galore, from about as far as you can get from orthodox brewing.

Stay tuned for more of what's in store.
Prepare to abandon hope, ye who want this (not-quite-)beer!

OUR LATEST ENTRY:

We don't know what to think of this one. But someone online does:

“Pretty disgusting thing...”

We can't wait!

Got ALKOHOLS?

We do, at least a couple of alkohols. Two big containers are now waiting to be emptied into non-discerning mouths in just a couple months. We can't even spell it, let alone enjoy it!

5 February 2019

Our CRAP warehouse is ready!
And there is already one top-ncrotch import waiting there.

We are proud to announce that this one's A REAL TURKEY.

1 November 2018

It's now official:
The unofficial festival date is 4 May,
the time should be fairly predictable,
and we'll stick with the same venue, Kultuurikatel

It takes many months to plan something so crap,
and we need YOUR HELP if we wish to remain
the Baltic region's best worst beer festival evar!
So start stockpiling those horrid drinks now, and drop us a note about them!

Overview

[IMG: Prosenttimies logo] You might think that the whole idea of TCrBF is nonsense - and you may be right. It might be a refreshing oasis for the stomach or beer scene, or it might be just a mirage. Either way, you blink and then it's gone.

As with everything in life, there are two sides to every story, and that includes beer. TCrBF is that other side. TCrBF is those memories about beer that you've forgotten you even had. TCrBF is the wide-eyed view of the world that was accepting of all, without prejudice. TCrBF is you.
