we're in different boats there. I couldn't care less if the glass is stamped. I don't even clean the labels off anymore (except that port I sent TNGabe). I've heard the whole argument of "what does that say about the brewer" and I will not subscribe to that newsletter. I'm a very firm believer in it's what's on the inside.
I have this OCD problem, all of my caps are the same color by batch, same style bottles by batch, the only difference would be if I bottled some bombers to go along, or 375s to go with the 750s. I agree it's about the product but Im a weirdo. I keg about half of my beers though, and bottle a lot from the kegs.

you shine your pennies before you put them into your piggy bank, doncha?

I hear a soak in CLR works well for that...just sayin!
You don't? You animal!
While I usually prefer mom and pop type places, the ribs at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar on the river walk are awesome.

And I'm somewhere in between! I could care less if the glass is stamped. I do clean the labels off though, but that's really just so I can easily differentiate my homebrew from commercial stuff. It's just a personal preference. Not principal. Labels on, off, doesn't make the homebrew inside any better or worse!:cross:

tyzippers said:Nothing wrong with that. I'm the same way. Stouts have to get black caps, porters brown caps, etc. Although in your original post it just sounded like you were digging on DFH again because they are stamping their bottles. Would you bottle a batch if they were all the same stamped DFH bottle?
Ugh...but then, why would anyone buy that much DFH?

to most people, I look like a piece of crap. the expect me to be a lewd, vile, disgusting person with no morals or education. maybe to a point they're right, but not near as far as they expect. "Beer is a reflection of the brewer". it's also part of my "you can't tell me what to do". I know it's ridiculous, but I take what little victories I can.You don't drink with your eyes any less than you eat with your eyes. Or at least I don't.
A. It's their logo not mine. Not that I label all of my beer, but I don't want someone else's logo associated with my product.
TNGabe said:Enough with the DFH hating. I don't like to agree with you.
My boss just called me to tell me that he was bringing Whataburger home for dinner! I did ask, but I guess he figured I could use something like that after the crap he pulled this morning! Finally get to try the spicy ketchup!
I can't get on board with hating DFH. There are a few beers I really do like, such as Midas Touch. I get who annoying they can be. I was growing annoyed with them when I watched the only 6 episodes of Brewmasters on Netflix. But still.
No more beer. I think my liver is telling me to knock it off. I wasn't even thrilled to drink the DFH punkin with dessert tonight. May have to get back to the rum & diets for a time.

I'm with you on this one. Most of their wacky beers are pure crap, but their core beers - 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, Indian Brown - are not great, but they are good. .
Your liver is lying to you. Rum and diet? For cereal.
I think I've made a bad beer. My Autumn Saison I was so excited about is not good. It's been two weeks bottled, maybe it will improve, but I think it's time to throw out the brewer's gold in the freezer.
You just stated my biggest problem with them. These beers are okay, I wouldn't say good. And while 60 minute is reasonably priced, 90 isn't, why charge so much (and package in 4 packs) for something everyone else does better? and everyone else prices theirs the same as 60 minute and packages in 6 packs.
And 120? That's more gimmick than beer, especially for what it costs, I've seen people trading westy 12 for 1 bottle of 120... I'm sorry but they aren't even in the same universe quality wise.
A lot of my Saisons taste bad young, but they usually age out nicely. Give it a month or two before you dump..
Now I'm drinking hard apple cider.
Mine don't. Two weeks bottled, ready to drink. Brewer's Gold is the problem.
I think I'd better take it easy for a few days. I drank more then I should have last weekend. That's fun once in a while, but I'd rather not pickle my liver.you coulda made a Hard Orange Julius!
Rice wine is interesting stuff. I've got several experiments in that thread you might find interesting.One last glass of water before tearing into some beer.
Hey Channel, is this the right stuff? It was $2.15 for all that down the road. Almost got some yeast balls for rice wine, but figured I would go back after re-reading that thread.

Ahh. I guess what I mean by bad is too much farmhouse funk. It's not that they aren't drinkable young. As a matter of fact most other people like my saisons young. I guess they like the funk more than I do. I prefer my saisons after the funk has mellowed a little. I've never actually used Brewers Gold. Is it old or just bad in general?
