But who would you say is THE most overrated brewery in the country?

That's a good question, as saying things are "overrated" is something grumpy ******** do online...

I'm actually not sure, so I'll go with pre-AB purchased Wicked Weed.
 
I think I'm the only one on earth who really enjoyed Blueberry Bunches of Oats.

please report back...if you have bad things to say, then I will surely believe it.

Biased as ****. Nothing to see here.

As great as both new Magicks are, I think the Bourbon Quad might be the best beer out of the new release. So scrummy.

Please stop, my beer boner can only handle so much. That cab quadfather was an unsung hero that I loved, cannot wait to try the bourbon.
 
Taking the bait...and this is going to reek of fanboyism...zero *****.

Didn't have Blueberry Bunches of Oats or Maple JP, so can't speak to those. Nor have I had any of these cans.

I was just trying to say that their track record...at least with what I've had...doesn't support the volume of negative feedback about these can releases. I would think at the very least, Curt would have squashed the whole thing after one...maybe two...bad runs, until fixed. It's just odd to me that a dude who obviously cares so much about his product and has so much patience with his releases is putting out diacetyl-laced butter beers. Repeatedly. Something doesn't add up. Either...

A. People are wrong about the beers (unlikely considering volume of negative feedback from variety of sources)
B. The beers really are bad and Voodoo just doesn't give a **** (to me, the most unlikely)
C. The beers are rapidly degrading after being packaged...or some other post fermentation related part of the process.

I'm just confused is all.

To that last comment: Draai Laag makes bad beer - like all of it. I thought Blackbeard's Delight was good. If you don't believe me, still ISO more.

I think that the randomness of the off cans is being overlooked. Its not like full batches is bad. Not sure how you sort out that issue other than cleaning up the whole process
 
I know we've got some fans in here, so might as well ask. Who's geeked for the new ATDI record tomorrow?

I wasn't too hot on the first new song I heard, but I'm pumped to see them in Columbus. Ive never seen them nor Mars Volta so I'm real excited to see some iteration before one of them die from an overdose.
 
diacetyl (buttery flavor) can lay dormant in a beer for weeks, but the conversion of its predecessor (acetolactate, I think?) to diacetyl is spurred by intro of oxygen and/or heat. A higher presence of diacetyl is usually caused by cooling and packaging prematurely and not giving the yeast ample time to clean up the diacetyl and/or acetolactate (called a diacetyl rest)..

Sort of, but not completely. Complete biotransformation will and should happen when the beer is fermented at normal ale temperatures with no need for a diacetyl rest unless one is fermenting at lower temperatures, so this is a yeast metabolism "thing", and not a temperature issue.

i recently had a DIPA from 3 stars/j wakefield and it was an unpalatable buttery mess. i wouldn't be surprised at all if these juice bomb breweries are in a rush to package the hops as fresh as possible and sacrifice fermentation time which would cause this **** to happen in cans.

Ayep.

Will kegged beer have a different time frame for diacetyl to show up then cans?
