Draai Laag could announce that they are using dried out dog **** that they scooped from a Millvale side street as an ingredient in a new beer and I wouldn't in the least bit be surprised at the lines

FTFY

I "get" the thought process behind it; Laphroaig is briney and has that iodine quality, why not accentuate it? But then you have a gose base, plus seaweed, plus oysters. Sounds like you took the theme and just completely beat the piss out of it.

"Mmmmm, this is salty...you know what it needs? More salt!! Himalayan salt. Sea salt. Maybe some smoked salt."

Brewed with blu ray copies of the movie Salt.......

That's like saying that black dinosaur could have been okay if they'd have stopped before the ice cream and coconut. That's the ******* point about DL...they make bad beer cause they don't know when to stop.

old dirty basement... haha

Ill be hitting up Rusty Gold tonight and will report back.

Looking forward to hearing your secondary aspirations for this brewery.

 

[shuggy1]

LITERAL ****

Wouldn't be the first time "literal ****" was used to describe their beer. Beerwanderer

I'm friends with the brewer so I don't even have to pay retail.

serious question. Does anyone here think dry log has ever dumped a beer?

No chance

If only the dude from Draaiii Laaaggg worked for East End a few years ago.

"No Scott! We can still use that!"

That would be a shitlord's dream. Too bad the beer is going to be even worse than what was coming out of CBW. Is he using hot rocks in the boil?

They would probably just blend it together with other dumped beers then release it

Loving the collective over the top draai Laag hate today. Great work everyone.

I mean, Crystal Schip, Flatitude, 2008A... Given, those beers were actually palatable, but it doesn't seem like Scott is one to pass up a chance to "repurpose" a beer.

 

[nhindian1]

Personally, I can't wait for a Draai Laag / Omnipollo / Brew Dog / Tired Hands collab

O.D.B. (Old Dirty Basement 7.0%abv) - In our search for local wild yeast strains (critters), we sometimes come across a black sheep. Although they are interesting, they sometimes can display extreme levels of some very funky aromas and flavors. It smells like an old dirty basement... in a good way.

WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS BEER IF YOU DON'T LIKE LITERAL ****"

I just remember a stretch where it seemed like EEBC's Twitter was picture after picture of barrels being dumped down a drain.

If those are the beers he kept, imagine how bad the beers he dumped were...


(I don't hate EEBC as much as others, either.)

Or maybe he doesn't know the difference between good beer and bad and he dumped all the potential whales.

I get (and to some extent appreciate) the "outside the box" thinking that Draai Laag has. They are creative if nothing else and truly one of a kind (and thank god for that). But in no way, shape, or form does this sound like something that could actually be executed well.

This beer could make the Gimmick Lord himself, Jean Brolliet LXXXVVIII, take a step back and say "The ****?!"

Agree with all of that. And I do think that, once in a while, they do release something that's quite good. That raspberry Berliner they just did a couple of weeks ago was really good IMO.

Gonna be visiting Pittsburgh in July.....I was told to get Pierogi Pizza. Comrades, where am I going to get the best experience.

I think Church Brew Works has one. It's a brewpub in a deconsecrated church. Check it out.

Speaking of - how was Rusty Gold, beerman6686?

I was expecting to go after a happy hour for someone leaving my department, but after a few too many mediocre Great Lakes and Southern Tier DIPAs, I figured it wasnt the best idea to drive down to Canonsburg, drink more, and then hike it back to Larryville. I will be going soon though, possibly tomorrow.

On the pierogie pizza subject, Michael's in the Southside has by far the best pierogie pizza ive had.

I haven't been to CBW in ages, but I've heard from a few people that they no longer make pizzas. So...?

Was going to mention this exact thing...I second the recommendation.

Huh, their on-line menu supports what you heard. You made a liar out of me, Church.

Give me a shout when you get into town and we can meet up this time.

Shame because that was the best thing they had. Never thought their regular menu was all that good.
