Movie Tagline: A world of wonders in one great picture
You may be asking yourself why I have chosen the old cartoon version of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece of literary nonsense to pair with Mad Hatter IPA instead of the 2010 Johnny Depp version. After all, the beer was recently reconfigured to appeal to today's hop-hungry beer drinkers, so why not pair it with another recently-reimagined classic? The answer is quite simple: Mad Hatter is a good beer, so why would you want to pair it with such a bad movie? If Mad Hatter were brewed with, say, cat urine instead of water, or dirty pine cones instead of hops, then maybe it would be bad enough to pair with Tim Burton's laborious, soul-sucking clustercuss of a film. Anyway, rant over. Obviously you should pair Alice with Mad Hatter IPA because of the Mad Hatter. It's not too hard to figure that one out (unless you're a Tweedle-dumbass). If you're feeling especially adventurous, you can maybe smoke opium for the Caterpillar bit. You can do some speed with the White Rabbit. There are mushrooms that make strange things happen to Alice; you can get in on that, too. That Cheshire Cat seems to be on nitrous oxide with all of his laughing fits. The Flowers have definitely got some MDMA in their systems. The Dormouse is a total stoner. And everyone at that freaky tea party is high as a kite on cocaine. You get the picture. Maybe your best bet is to simply drink some tasty Michigan beer and let the movie's craziness wash over you. Don't mess with all that other nonsense. Leave the hard stuff to the professionals. They know what they are doing. Mad Hatter IPA. That's all you need.
