The beer I had for breakfast was a bottle of Mad Dog

[venta]

Sitting down with my tuna, vegetable and noodle stir-fry I thought I'd rescue one of those bottles of lager languishing in the fridge after Frances' party. There turned out only to be two left - a bottle of Stella, and a bottle of Brahma.

I don't really like Stella. The other, however, was an unknown quantity so I gave it a whirl.

I can now report that Brahma, which claims to be Brazilian, is flippin' disgusting. It tastes of practically nothing yet still manages to be even nastier than Budweiser.

That'll teach me to filch my housemate's beer :(

(Not relevantly: when I was little, my next door neighbour used occasionally to refer to someone as "a proper Brahma" (probably not spelled like that). It was used in a similar context to that in which people say "you are a one" or "you're a right one". Anyone else familiar with this ? Neighbour was from Darlington via Yorkshire...)

Brahma, which claims to be Brazilian

I don't really associate Brazil with Hinduism. Is that as random as it sounds?

According to their website:

"While the origin of the name is uncertain, Brahma's creator, Joseph Villager, was a deeply spiritual man and possibly took the name from a Hindu demi-god."

So the answer: either the explanation's random, or it's garbage.
