the Saga of Olde Frothingslosh - version II

as told by Pittsburgh Brewing 
   

"From Humble Beginnings"

Long ago, Sir Reginald S. Frothingslosh I, and his lovely wife, Sir Lady Frothingslosh II (or III, Reggie's not sure) received a command from King Henry VIII, affectionately called the Vee-I-Yi-Yi. "Other brews won't do!" shouted the king, as he transferred his leg of mutton to the other hand. "I want a new old ale-a pale, stale ale-an ale that's lighter, milder, more flexible than any other advertised on television!"

"Will do," said Sir Reggie, since he valued his head. First they selected a suitable building site (a site for sore eyes) at Upper-Crudney-on-the-Thames, just down the river from the glue factory. Their castle-type brewery was erected in record time (they worked Knights). 

Production bogged down for a while. A planned program of scientific research gave them the answer. Someone had neglected to order ingredients (it's difficult to make good ale without ingredients, we understand). 

So, Sir Reggie and Sir Lady set out to find the finest. In the African providence of Hippety, they found the right hops-Hippety Hops are tops, you know. For lightness and mildness, they selected nice rice, sweet wheat and mad, mad malt.

The staff went to work with a Will (Will Tuppence of Devonshire). A little trouble did develop with those who put the foam on the Ale-the white-collar workers, that is. But soon the first batch came forth. Like the King (Vee-I-Yi-Yi) had commanded, it was like no other ever brewed. It was... 

LIGHT-so light, the beer floated on top of the foam. The foam was on the bottom. No more messy mustaches! 

PALE-so pale the first few cases fainted! DRY-like, a little dusty, than, and musty.

FLEXIBLE-you bet. Certified to fit any shape of glass, without any bending at all.

The King (Vee-I-Yi-Yi) tasted the first glassful. A fortnight later, he uttered those immortal words that have resounded through the ages: "Oh My Gosh... Olde Frothingslosh!"

Sure,it's for fun! A crazy character named Rege Cordic developed the Olde Frothingslosh idea for a joke, as a radio skit on KDKA. The folks at the Pittsburgh Brewing Company, who like to mix a little fun in with their daily routine, produce a limited number of cases of their usual fine beer under the Olde Frothingslosh Label each holiday season.
