Is Beer Good For Plants?

There is a tale out there that beer is good for plants. That the minerals and things in beer are good for growth. And that there are nutrients in beer that help with garden soil, and help with the growth of your plants.

Maybe even your houseplant would be totally into an IPA or Lager.

I always felt like simply pouring a beer into a plant would be bad for the plant. But, I also don’t know what the hell I am talking about most of the time.

So that prompted me to finally figure this out for you and for me…

Is Beer Good For Plants?

No. Not really anyway. Good would be stretching it.

Your plants want clean and clear water. And maybe some occasional actual really good plant food.

It does want not some terrible Sour IPA that you tried and couldn’t finish. Or the day-old and flat Coors Light that was sitting out all night.

What people might assume is good for the plants (the carbs, the yeast, minerals, the water) is a small benefit, at best. Hardly measurable. And it would be best if you diluted the beer before you dump it in.

In fact, some believe adding beer to your plant-feeding routine, blocks the plant from getting proper nutrition.

Plants want complex carbs and beer is not a complex carb, it is a worthless card. Well, worthless to some, not to me. I rather enjoy worthless carbs.

Worthless carbs are what life is about.

What Is The Point Of Untappd?

Untappd check-in of Goodnight Munich from Liquid Gravity Brewing — Good Beer peeps is the point of Untappd

A lot of brewers grumble about Untappd and Untappd users. They get mad at the bad ratings. Get mad at the “One star, not my style” guy (who DOES suck, mind you).

It may lead them to cry out “What is even the point of Untappd!?”

The point of Untappd, to me, is this:

The colorful characters of Untappd.
The documenting of beers drank, keeping a record.
The ability to find information about a beer. What am I supposed to be tasting here?
A social media that is a closed circuit for beer lovers.

Hey This Was Fuckin’ Funny and You Didn’t Give A Shit: Don’t Forget Yo Roll Your Hazzies!

I did a hazzies beer rollin’ bit across the social medias the other night and it got a big “Meh!” From the fuckin’ Internets.

Eat it, you stupid Internet, THAT is quality content!! 🤣😂🤣🍻

Okay, well, it’s not THAT funny, I suppose.

But it is a real thing, rolling your hazy IPAs. Why? It mixes it. Gets the yeast sentiment moving around and makes for a more even beer. Hazzies require a little work, but worth it to most.

I Am So Tired Of Taking Pictures Of My Beer

Blind Pig IPA from Russian River Brewing — I had to push myself to take this

Everything is fucking exhausting. Including taking pictures of my beer.

Are we not all sick of it?

Sick of Instagram. Sick of posting a picture with our Untappd check-ins?

I know I know, you might be saying:

“My guy, you don’t have to take a picture! You can just open a beer and drink it and not tell a soul. Or check-in your Uniques on Untappd, without a picture.”

Yes yes, and I do that.

But then… the Untappd check-in is super boring without a picture.

And I can’t get more followers on Instagram by NOT posting pictures.

So pictures it is.

I just wanted to rant that I am tired of it, is all.
