Media nonsense and stuff like that can now be found in the Gallery section.
That's it for now. See you next year, maybe!

Thanks to all who helped to make the fifth annual TCrBF the best - or
most crap - ever. This includes the people who provided beers, everyone who drank
them, and all the people who together laid on the fantastic after-party in
the building behind us.
Quotes from people attending the festival, describing either the
festival or one of the beers:
"Well, that was interesting."
"Euuurgg."
"proper us malt lika, my life is complete!"
"Dear god, what the hell is this?"
More reviws etc. to come..., and looking forward to next year!

This just in:
A special bonus drink is on its way. The important
details found on the can are '12% ALC/VOL' and 'WATERMELON'.
You're gonna love it.
25 April
The latest brewery we can announce is Kilwaukee-based Killer Brewing
Company, with two TCrBF entries.
The first is Olde English 800. Lest you be
put off by its relatively low alcohol content (5.9%), the brewers
assure us that this is a true malt liquor. As for the other
positive qualities of the drink, they state: 'Olde English 800 enjoys a diverse
consumer base that is linked together by an urban mind-set.'
Some tasting notes for our non-English-speaking guests:
- IS:
Ég verð í veikindaleyfi fram á sumar og mun ekki
skoða póst. Vinsamlegast hafið samband við
hjá alþjóða skrifstofu ef
bregðast þarf við erindinu.

Its heftier companion this year is Steel Reserve
211 High Gravity, which weighs in at 8.1%.
Among its other positive attributes are the logo and that '[w]e [...] brew
for over twice as long as many quality beers' (emphasis added).

We are pleased to announce another high-quality beverage that is
apparently headed to TCrBF - a full 10.5% of quality. The beer is
Camo Black Ice, which is in a style that has been largely overlooked
by the craft beer world: 'High Gravity Lager' as the brewers put it.
Could this start a trend? We may soon see.
In the meantime, a reminder as festival day nears:
- Put crap beers first!
- Let's make crap great again.
- Lagerboarding works.
- We're going to build a LOL.

Two more beers seem to have found their way into the TCrBF gutter. These
lovelies apparently have crawled all the way from the US of A.
We asked some of the world's best-known kräft drink experts to
provide reviews of them, to help you prepare. Here is what they said:
Natural Scheiss (from Anheuser-Booze, USA)
- EN:
Made with only the finest adjuncts and caustic chemicals, this
'drink' is spiced with hangoverberries and a touch of centre-pivot irrigation system.
It had propelled itself to number-two position on (one of) Ratebeer's charts at last report.
- ET:
Selle joogi tegemiseks on kasutatud ainult kõige paremaid
koostisosasid kõige halvemate seast. Iga keemiline komponent on
hoolikalt välja valitud ja käsitsi korjatud kõige
vilunumate I don't give a fcuk suhtumisega keemikute poolt. Kokku
segatult moodustavad nad ühtse terviku mille
kordumatud maitsenüansid toovad pisara silma ka kõige karmimatel.
- RU:
Это хорошо
- FI:
On alkoholi!
- SV:
Ye poot dis can ooptoo de mooth un den go glugglug. Get em drunky.
Bork bork bork!
- LT:
Šviesusis alus (lager tipo) verdamas su kukurūzų ir dažų mišinio, kuris suteikia šiek tiek saldumo. Kartais apibūdinama kaip trapumą alaus ir vandeningas.
Bud Light Slime Cherry-Ugh-Rita (from Anheuser-Booze, USA)
- EN:
This beer sleeps furiously in the can until allowed to escape. With hints of
gently simmered nightmares in the aroma and a slightly diagonal mouth feel, it is
ideal for summer afternoons in the seventh circle of Hell.
- ET:
Selle joogi peen maitsebukett on nagu magav draakon. Või
Okasroosike. Kuid vilunud keelel rulluvad nad lahti, kiht kihi haaval,
nagu sibul või kapsas. Tule ja veendu ise!

tamsių vyšnių su šviežia margarita naujumo. Drąsus Margarita
skonių, kurie idealiai tinkaš ventėms.
1 April
Preparations now appear to be well under way for the 5th annual
Tallinn Crap Beer Festival...
TCrBF 2017: Can't Trump This
We have heard that the focus this time is on American crap beers.
As our orange friend might say: 'We have the crappest
beers. So crap!'
In the coming weeks, we will be bringing you further rumours about
this year's TCrBF: fake news about real booze.
30 March
It appears that the first beer for the Tallinn Crap Beer Festival has
arrived! The photo below shows the most important details.
Other information: This beauty is from Belarus and has 'STRONG' on the
label.
Looks tasty, doesn't it?
