2017 SARA Cellar thread

[BeerMoto1]

If anyone needs a fellow SARA member to trustee for them, shoot me a PM.

Maybe if someone had a severe allergic reaction to their member beers.

That stops people? I've been allergic to sours/wilds for years and I still renew.

Granted, my anoos puckers whenever I see the Bernice label, but who outright quits at that? Dafuq?

I'm allergic to everything except for stainless Brett saisons or the barrel aged blends.

 

[rrryanc]

Pretty sure all new invites have gone out, but there may be more depending on if any people don't renew.

Damn. I, uh, mean congrats new members!

Heard from at least one person that you should check your spam folder.

 

[bobsacamano1]

Damn. Been on the waitlist since 2014. What's another year?

So, real question, is that even possible here? I was under the impression that it was brewed with shells only, and those are just big hunks of calcium, right? If you react to oyster shells, do you react to limestone? Plus it's boiled and then aged, and the concentration of whatever allergen makes it through seems like it would be tiny. I've seen people say this, but is it really a problem? Again, legitimately curious here, I don't know very much about how shellfish allergies work.

I was alergic to shellfish as a kid (thank god I'm not now) and it was the iodine that I couldn't have. Now if any of this makes it through the process I can't answer for you. I can say though I wouldn't want to risk going through the reactions again.

Even if only brewed with the shells, I wouldn't necessarily assume they'd been cleaned to the point of being completely free of the shellfish proteins that trigger the allergic reactions. I can't speak to the concentrations of those allergens that'd be sufficient to trigger a reaction, but the most common of them, tropomyosin, is heat-stable. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23649255

Short answer is: bad and you really don't want to deal with it.

Long answer is I found out I was allergic a few girlfriend's ago when she took me out to get Tempura. A freaked out staff, an ambulance, and a rather embarrassed ex later, I now carry an epi-pen in the car just in case my allergies haven't subsided yet. Even more weirdness, lobster has no effect and is delicious, but shrimp...yeah....if you ever want to see a white-boy get some color in his face, along with rage and fear in his eyes, just feed that to me.

I think the last time I experienced anything was midway through 2016 grabbing some pick up stix before a movie. Itchy throughout the entire movie. Got home, nice hives all over neck, arms, and chest. I was a walking horror movie, it was neat.

Wife has a mild allergy. But she likes shellfish enough to keep Claritin with her which reduces the symptoms (rash/hives/redness) to tolerable levels.

For sure.

 

[Tlo4sho]

For sure.

I still quiver every time I see these things after getting deathly sick off them once.

Still wanna try the beer though...!

 

[Buckbo]

Anyone got any guesses to when elements of composition will drop?

Tomorrow.

 

[brentsdodgers]

Definitely on a Monday.

 

[shanrath]

Definitely on a Monday.

An unprecedented date for an unprecedented beer.

Dear Sara, please do not put my life at risk trying to get over the hill in this weather for a sneaky tuesday bottle release of a certain collaboration beer.

Sincerely,
-I want to live!

They had a Death and Taxes-like beer on a bit ago, it was great.

Nice! I love me a craft lager, one of my favorites is Timbo Pils by Highland Park. I wish more places would get on that lager hype train! (or that someone would start that train)

It seems to be percolating. It's no secret that brewers and industry folk often seem to prefer a nice clean drinking lager and of course those styles had their die hard followers but I feel like i'm seeing more appreciation from consumers at large. Like at least around here people are buzzing about Moonlight again and were hyped on the STiVO pils last year, etc etc. It's not going to overtake vanilla bean mud anytime soon but I think it's trending upward. As long as I don't have to wait in line for Reality Czech i'm all for it...

I just want craft lagers in cans. The thing is, no one would wait in line for cans of Pilsner so no breweries will do it. Boo, but if HPB did Timbo Pils in cans I would buy as much as possible. Also, I believe the reason why brewers and industry folk prefer lagers is because it shows a breweries/brewers true skillset. Lagers are a bitch.

 

[wethorseblanket]

what happened down there? it rained for a few days?

 

[ac24]

In house only though.
