I was able to fill this 22 with what wouldn't fit in the keg. Kinda fun to have 1 out of the batch that bottle conditioned after drinking on the kegged version for a few days.

So I have posted this "pint" before, but I'm posting a pic of the same beer again because I learned something here. Although I have read many times over that you should store your beer in brown glass to keep the light out, or at the very least store it in the dark. I am the kind of person that doesn't completely believe something until I see, or taste in this case, the evidence first hand. This particular beer, a SMASH blonde ale, was bottled in various types and colors of glass bottles, some clear and some brown. I do attempt to keep them out of the light as much as possible but they do see the light of day on occasion. A few days ago I had some of this beer out of a clear glass flip top bottle and after a few sips I felt like I was drinking a Corona. Today I decided to try one that was bottled in brown glass and that flavor wasn't there. A few days ago I gave a craft beer drinking colleague a clear glass bottled sample and asked him today if he thought it was a little skunked and he thought so also.

The below is at bottling day and a sample from this afternoon.

A Rye and Centennial Pale Ale.

Great pic and bravo to the choice of glass. We call em Libby glasses here and they're my favorite beer glass even over my fancy etched and IPA glasses. To be fair the Sam Adams glass is a close second. ;)
