Sir George's Stout was an oatmeal stout. It was one of the best beers I ever made--sweet and robust, with a hint of roasted barley. It disappeared too fast though.
The label for Sir George's Stout pictures Martin Luther (c. 1630 A.D.) as Junker Georg which is German for Knight George or "Sir George." Luther was in danger of being killed within the Holy Roman Empire, so his friends "kidnapped" him and he stayed in hiding at the Wartburg castle disguised as a knight.
I have a monochrome version of this label silk screened onto 22 oz. bottles. On January 11, 1997, the local paper, The Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan, did a full page article on homebrewing by interviewing me. The article featured my Sir George's Stout Label , along the left side of the page reproduced at over 2 feet tall!! It was quite thrilling to see this in the paper, but I was also a bit leary since I don't tell everyone about my hobby.
I did the interview on the condition that they would not forget to print my view of drinking vs. brewing making. I am all for making beer. However, I am against making beer to get drunk. (It seems like too much effort to go through just to get drunk though). Yet I admit that many closet alcoholics probably use homebrewing as a rationalization that they are not alcoholics.
