Brought a 1L swingtop of cream ale in for a guy at work on Friday who "wished there was a place he could go with shelves stocked full of peoples' homebrew so he could just try them".
Now, I'm open to criticism and the possibility that he just didn't like my beer but... this is the most easy-drinking lawnmower beer I've ever made. Crystal clear, no off flavors, lightly hoppy, crisp, sub-4.5% abv. Nothing even sticks out enough to be offensive. Even my mom likes it (and she'd tell me if she didn't... die-hard Miller Lite lady)
I asked him to please drink it all when he opens it up, as the swingtop wouldn't hold carbonation long-term and that it would go flat like a growler. He says oh sure.
I come back in this morning and there's my half-empty bottle left in the fridge, and two f*cking twelve packs of Miller Lite that I *know* his boss brought in. So basically they opened mine, had a little bit of that, switched to swill and let mine go flat. Now that I'm doing 2.5 gallon batches... that's rough.
F*ck that. Never again.
