Are we sure it's not the guy who owes everyone huna and or money ?

I know it's not that guy that actually went to Huna, but it could be the Canadian girlfriend he invented that supposedly chargebacked the PayPal. Or maybe it's the guy that got banned from the Pgh beer group for trolling East End. Or maybe it was Neville Poppenbacher, who's just trying to keep those meddling kids off his damn farm!

It's possible to get banned from that group?

Apparently? Dude in that yinzers trade whalez for hazy cans group is saying OneDropSoup & the Huna dude tossed him. I think.

Wasn't me, Jason must've booted him. Not sure why he's whining so hard to be let back in, either - every third day I'm praying that someone will eject me from that group.

Must not be a self eject button?

I can help you with some strategies, if you like.

So does anyone know how Wilson Mcginley is distributing Jolly Pumpkin? Did they leave Shelton or did Wilson Mcginley secure shelton from Vecenie's?

Dunno - Shelton's website still has JP listed as one of their brands. Did you ask Wilson-McGinley, or Jolly Pumpkin, or Shelton Bros?

I think they are just bringing JP in separate from Shelton. There are a few areas where JP gets disto'd without Shelton.

Yeah Jolly Pumpkin just goes direct. Probably get tired of waiting out any Shelton Bros drama, and just decide to do it themselves.

Curious about this.

New Beer Wednesday: Flood Line IPA! This hazy and easy drinking New England Style IPA is sure to be one of your favorite new beers. Get down to the taproom tonight and pair this beauty with a pizza from Driftwood Oven

Had a few Hazedelic the other night and while the name is comically bad, the beer is easily the best I've had from them. Curious to see if that was a sign of good things to come.

 

[kbuzz1]

That label is also comically bad

 

[hornydevil]

But who in Pittsburgh is kicking ass with their branding?

I like the branding of Voodoo, BG and DG. Also like the rebrand for Draai Laag.

Definitely dig BG and DG. Not so crazy about the other two.

I don't think this is a label. Seems to be their generic "infographic"

Voodoo's website desperately needs a refresh...

 

[jeevo]

Voodoo's website desperately needs a refresh...

The funny thing is, they actually did re-do it pretty recently. Before, it looked like something you came across when browsing the world wide web on AOL.

Oh really. Guess you haven't been recently

Yeah my bad. I looked not too long ago (probably around the release of BRC5 instead of trying to search the FB post for details) and it was still the website from way back. Mea culpa.

Speaking of voodoo, my cans of Vivrant Things from the last batch seemed really off. Tons of floaties/chunks (way beyond a normal amount) and a weird aftertaste. Diacetyl maybe? This surprised me a bit because the first batch I had was amazing. Anyone experience the same? These beers are only a few weeks old. The Blossoming cans were excellent in contrast.

When did that happen?

Month ago or something I noticed

For any of you travelling through the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton area, I gotta give another shout out to Sabatini's bottle shop. Prices are on the higher side but they have SO much good stuff. I was on a tight budget this time so i didn't go crazy, but here's a small sampling of what they had that we never see out this way:
CCB Marshal Zhukov
girardin gueuze
3 or 4 brasserie de blaugies saisons
grass roots arctic soiree
capt lawrence sours
4 or 5 wicked weed sours
only 1 fantome this time (noel which i hated)
Sole cans
Jack's abbey
tons of italian sours
central waters bourbon barrel stout 4 packs

My buddy sent me a picture of Vivrant just last night that looked like a hard Delirium Tremens pours on steroids. He said it still tasted alright though. Gonna open my last two soon

 

[skaboom420]

Not sure what it is, but the previous cannning of vivrant was much better. Hopefully with their expansion/canning line, quality doesn't suffer

They didn't tell you guys the site was getting updated?

FWIW the new site is a vast improvement. I spotted a new beer on there too: I am a Loner, Dottie. A Rebel

Looks like coagulated pectin.

Yeah that's how mine looked. I don't mind floaties but that much was off-putting.
