BEER a n d t h e STARS dmit it. You read your horoscope when no one is looking. It’s fun and on some days, it’s spot-on. Some use astrology to make sense of the past and glimpse the future, but what can the stars reveal about you and your relationship with beer. Sound crazy Folks in Britain base their diet on the recommendations of their astrologer. Hey Capricorn, have you had enough milk today For 2011, Draught Lines looked to the heavens to align the stars with your beer. You may not get a better handle on life, but you might get a better handle on your beer mug. Aquarius, the water bearer January 21 – February 19 Aquarians are idealists who seek practical means to make the world a better place for everyone. Your progressive intellect enables you to brainstorm and solve problems with highly social and fascinating people. These illuminating conversations often last into the wee hours so you prefer sessionable beers that don’t cloud your judgment. Ommegang Rare Vos and Sly Fox Pilsner are great choices. Pisces, the fishes February 20 – March 20 To strangers Pisces appear distant and unknowable because they can be secretive. Actually people born under this sign are just very private people searching the oceans of life for meaningful mental and emotional foundations. Friends tell you not to dwell too much on past experiences which cannot be duplicated. That bottle of vintage wine you and your lover shared last year is sold out and no winemaker can reproduce it. Stick to beer. Brewmasters create identical flavors batch after tasty batch. Some wonderful, wine-like beers are Rodenbach Grand Cru, Monk’s Café Flemish Sour Ale and Boon Kriek. Aries, the ram March 21-April 20 Taurus, the bull April 21 – May 21 You are strong, steadfast and sincere. Ambitious Taurus is a teddy bear, with the traits of a tycoon. Those who are close to you know they can depend on you in any situation. Variety is the only thing that traumatizes you and the craft beer movement presents you with too many choices. Fear not! By stocking your refrigerator with a light beer, ale and a golden Belgian, you will gradually learn to appreciate variety. Try Yuengling Light Lager, Paulaner Hefeweizen and Duvel. Gemini, the twins May 22 – June 21 A sense of humor often makes you the center of attention. Your motto is that variety is the spice of life, but this presents a dilemma for you at home. You are compulsive and tend to file even grocery receipts. Order is intrinsic to your psychic well-being, but you don’t have enough shelves in your home to properly categorize your growing beer collection. Categorize your beers by style, not brewery. Begin tasting your collection starting with “A for Ale” and end with “W for Wood” and Barrel Aged. Allagash and Weyerbacher both make excellent barrel aged beers. Cancer, the moon child June 22 – July 23 Passionate and very driven with the spirit of a warrior, Aries is always on the go. You love change and thrive on challenge. All this takes extraordinary energy and you’ve got it. People are drawn to your power and magnetism. When rushing into situations where angels fear to tread, you tend to break glass beer bottles. Switch to cans and you won’t need stitches. Try Sly Fox, Wittekerke and Blue Moon. You are a softie who has sympathy for the underdog. On the other hand you usually attain success because your shrewd mind and tenacity can take you anywhere. Creativity is a strong suit both on the job and in the kitchen. Treating friends to great food and beer is one of your passions. In 2011 learn to pair food with a saison. Your friends will love you all the more for it. Try Saison Dupont and Hennepin Farmhouse Ale with salmon and asparagus. 6
Leo, the lion July 24 – August 23 For the powerful lion, the attainment of success comes naturally, but with hard work and dedication. Basically you are good-natured and life-loving yet you despise complacency and mediocrity. Your beer must be as special as you are. Try Orval or Sierra Nevada Celebration, they won’t disappoint. Virgo, the virgin August 24 – September 23 Seemingly innocent and docile, Virgo is also known as the analyzer. You ask too many probing questions, but that helps you achieve the order and perfection you crave. Occasionally you overwhelm your friends with your concern over their wellbeing so it’s no surprise that you prefer healthy foods. This year, explore organic beers. Try Samuel Smith Organic Cider, Pinkus Organic Ur Pils or Biere de Miel. Libra, the balance September 24 – October 23 You love to socialize and be surrounded by lots of people. In business your concentration and sense of timing is almost flawless. Good food is a must and many Libras are gourmets who spend lavishly on food and drink for themselves and their friends. Forego Champagne; it only gives you a headache. Instead explore beers made in the style of Champagne. Recommended beers: Allagash Tripel, Malheur Brut and Chimay. Scorpio, the scorpion October 24 – November 23 There have been more United States presidents born under the sign of Scorpio than any other. This is not at all surprising since you are a success-oriented person who tends to think big thoughts, especially when it comes to ancient and American history. Even your beers have to make historical references. 21st Amendment and Pliny the Elder are always in your refrigerator. Sagittarius, the archer November 24 – December 23 Active, intensely alive and eager to deal with life head-on, your life is a quest that will take you many places. Consequently you need to stay nimble and keep your wits about you. Naturally you prefer low alcohol beers that won’t weigh you down. Your quest for 2011 is the search for flavor and diversity. Add cider to your repertoire and get over your fear of dark beer. Guinness, Amstel Light, Woodchuck Cider and Magners will suit your needs perfectly. Capricorn, the goat December 24 – January 20 Capricorn is a sign of true grit and exceptional endurance. You are looked upon as a source of strength and authority, hence you crave excellence and big things from life. That is why you favor beers that are great big hop bombs like Dale’s Pale Ale, Lagunitas Maximus and Great Divide Hercules. 7
