I am a malt-head and big beer afficianado recently relocated from the beer wasteland of Alabama to Milwaukee - where there are more pubs than gas stations and churches combined. Former (~’96) and hopefully future all grain home brewer. SOMBO: A Russian Martial Art form. SOMBO is an anglicization of Самбo, which is a Cyrillic acronym for Samoborona Bez Orusiya and can be translated as "Self defense without weapons". Beast: n. [L. bestia.] Any living creature; an animal. Syn. Brute Usage: When we use these words in a figurative sense, as applicable to human beings, we think of beasts as mere animals governed by animal appetite; and of brutes as being destitute of reason or moral feeling, and governed by unrestrained passion. Hence we speak of beastly appetites; beastly indulgences, etc. Sombeast: Derivation of Sombo-ist. A practitioner and former instructor of the grappling arts driven to drink - the finest zymurgistically produced beverages available. My wish list contains both hard to get items and some simple reminders for items to buy on my next shopping spree.
