Vincent and I are in Munich for the 3rd of 3 nights of insane boozing at the biggest excuse in history to get shitfaced, Oktoberfest. We are drinking our faces off, singing awful songs, like so:
Also, there are lots of boobs at Oktoberfest. Seriously, just Google image search Oktoberfest.
Here’s a nice list of the best boobs in horror movie history.
Here at the Devil’s Demons, if there’s one thing we really love, it’s the sauce (apologies for sounding like a broken record). Daddy’s cough medicine. Old faithfuls. The whole lot.
Anywho, while we really enjoy drinking any day of the week, we get REALLY excited for the drinking we get to do around Halloween. There are so many activities that lend themselves to drinking:
Let’s start with an obvious but proven choice, Hobgoblin’s legendary Ruby Beer, brewed by Wychwood Brewery.
We got our fill of Hobgoblin at Bloodstock this year, at which Hobgoblin was pretty much the official beer. They even had their mascot there!
Go play around on the brewery’s website, it’s pretty slick and will tell you all kinds of facts about their beers, as well as some cool extras.
Packaging: 4.5 out of 5
The Hobgoblin itself is worthy of a 4. A hobgoblin is an obvious Halloween creature. I give the extra .5 point here because of Wychwood’s other brews (check out the site for the other brands).
Taste: 4 out of 5
Damn fine beer, we got drunk as shit off of it, and it was pretty delicious.
Brutality: 4 out of 5
Shit was stronger than the other weak-ass beers at the festival. American strength = American brutality.
I’m currently on a train that just left London, Vincent should be landing in Birmingham at any moment.
In case you didn’t know, we’re going to Bloodstock, an annual shitshow of metal in the middle of bumfuck UK.
There is no way this can end well. Will keep you posted.
Created by Jester King Brewery, this should be the darkest and grimmest beer ever produced.
33. Which appears on the back of Rolling Rock bottles:
While I don’t necessarily love Rolling Rock, I do love beer, and beer makes Halloween and its surrounding activities that much more enjoyable. So there.
Another sure sign that Halloween is just around the corner. Raleigh-based brewery Big Boss‘ Harvest Time pumpkin ale is BACK to be served again.
I love how all good things come back around at Halloween. My love of Harvest Time has been well-documented. Boner-inducing is the best way for me to describe this wonderful ale. It’s literally the best pumpkin ale I have ever tasted. I EVEN HAVE THE FUCKING SHIRT.
And look how cute the little logo is!!! It’s the only one I could steal from their site. It’s wicked-evil looking though. It’s the perfect logo ever. More perfect than Coke or Pepsi could ever dream of. They should both hire whoever made this logo.
If you’re ever around Raleigh, please stop by the tap room and pick up a growler. Or 7.
This beer is so good, this is what it does to me:
I’m sure it’s been back for quite some time now, but it’s the first time I’ve noticed it.
THAT JUST MEANS THAT HALLOWEEN IS SO MUCH CLOSER THAN I HAD EXPECTED.
I am super excited for the dots, especially the ghost dots.
These ghost dots have been part of legend ever since X-Entertainment reviewed them way back in 2007.
I also reviewed them last year. They were a hit at parties, and I don’t foresee them disappointing this year either. Look at them in all their glory:
YES. I shall consume thee, ghost dots. But I will probably just throw your bastard cousin candy corn dots drunkenly at my friends.
But wait, that’s not all …
This little vintage newspaper ad for an all-night horror movie run at a drive-in makes me wish I still lived in the boonies (somewhat).
Of course, like most of the old drive-ins, this particular one in Altoona does not exist anymore.
I remember going to see these sorts of marathons, high schooler sneaking booze in our socks. Those were the days.
