Lettuce be honest... If it weren't DG he'd be roasting them on a spit for that description.

Heh? Am I the type to roast breweries on a spit? Thought I was the homerest one here.

One of your MOs IMO is to stay out of any negativity whatsoever. I actually don't think I've heard you criticize a single Pittsburgh brewery. Every time I rag on DL as an example, you just disappear rather than join in the fun. Which is a shame, cause I bet you would add a lot of value to those diatribes.

Have you met Kbuzz?

See: DL and EE opinions. Nate wins the homer award based on his silence on DL and love of Snow Melt. I'll take silver though, that's cool with me

Aren't you the same ninja who a couple of months back wanted me to send you a bunch of EE stuff?

 

[kbuzz1]

Aren't you the same ninja who a couple of months back wanted me to send you a bunch of EE stuff?

Yeah...I tried real hard didn't I?

I do feel like I need to revisit them though...I haven't had any EE in years I bet. Maybe a can of BA Gratitude more recently than that...but certainly none of their other cans. I've always admitted to enjoying Grat and Toaster...so would have liked to have tried BA Toaster, but yeah...not a huge need obviously.

Don't be trying to cover your tracks now. Just admit your love for EE, it will make Scott happy.

Speaking of EE. Today.

Uh huh.

Right, sorry to come across as so insecure. I definitely have a few less-than-glowing opinions, but try to make them more specific criticisms than "Brewery X blows & I'm going to dump on them", & even those I seldom broadcast. I've definitely gotten on some people's bad sides from time to time when my lips get loose, as a few here can probably attest.

I have a can of BA Toaster. Can drop it off with the BA Event Horizon set if you want it. Fair warning though, it was borderline undrinkable for me.

Well some times things just work out...thanks dude...yeah, I'll take it.

What are your thoughts on regular Toaster?

I've never taken it as any sort of insecurity. Actually, maybe the opposite. From where I stand, it would take tremendous mental discipline not to **** on DL.

I don't really trash any brewery on here I don't think. I poke fun at the absurd things that DL/Strange Roots or whatever the **** they're called now have done, but I've legitimately enjoyed some of their beers too.

I try to think about the facts that A. you never know who's reading this and B. I imagine a lot of hard work and passion goes into making all the beer, even the ****** ones, so I don't wanna go out of my way to **** on someone else's hard work. I figure in the craft world if a product is bad, the sales will tell that story most of the time. No need to add insult to injury.

I really liked the original for the 4th anniversary, and the rebrew for the 9th anniversary, but havent had the base since. Once they did BA Grat I never understood why they didnt do BA Toaster for the longest time as it was one of the few I liked from them, and looked forward to this release. We couldn't agree on if it was overly hopped, too much black patent, or something with the ****** Wigle barrels, but it finished with a really offensive overpowering bitterness that just got worse as we drank the can.

 

[kbuzz1]

damn...I liked those first two incarnations of Toaster as well and haven't had it since...not looking good, but still excited to try it. Been too long since I've had any Pittsburgh beer. Going through a homer drought.

 

[MooseLang]

That's how I feel, and why I don't even say anything bad anymore about Beaver Brewing.


Ahhh ****.


Okay, starting now.

 

[dadavat]

i think we can all agree to bash fine wine and good spirits. looks like we're finally getting weller 12 but they're going to list it in a lottery just like elmer t lee. i know that's the fairest way to do it, but that takes away all the fun.

 

[beerman6686]

If anybody has the urge to go get drunk on $1 per ounce pours of regional BA Impy stouts that no one cares about anymore, Madmex Shadyside is tapping Blacknote, CBS, and BA Ten Fidy on Friday.

Here is one of the best beer reviews I have ever read. This is for a beer called 724. Great work Stigs!

22oz bottle, purchased (thanks Mike, I will get my revenge!) at the brewery last week and popped tonight - poured into a modified tulip

A - moderately aggressive pour yields about half an inch of short-lived, tightly packed light tan foam. the beer is burnt orange in color, and also quite hazy.

S - being familiar with Beaver Brewing, if I hadn't already known the basis for this beer, I would have swore they tried to make a peanut butter IPA. completely missing are any semblance of hops outside a faintly grassy, earthy aroma sneaking its way in through the nuttiness.

T - ugh. honestly, and quite literally one of the worst beers I have ever tried. immediately the palette is hit with an attack of stinky, garbage-like, rancid citrus. if you've ever left orange juice out in the sun for a day (dont ask, I have), its slightly more pleasant than this monstrosity. i'm being overtaken by moldy carpet, feet, pinecones and two week old lunchmeat. pretty much devoid of any semblance of malts as well. i can't even wrap my head around the fact that a professional brewery would charge money for this, as I've shamefully tossed a couple batches of my own homebrew that are a million times better. even my burps are making me want to dry heave.

M - the body is just a touch on the dry side, with carbonation a touch soft yet slightly prickly. to be honest, I care not to analyze this any more since that would require me to put more of this vile liquid in my mouth.

O - now, I didn't go out of my way just to blast this beer and the brewery. merely, its intent is to serve as a warning to prospective drinkers. a few of us sampled this last week and I thought it was awful, but the sadistic part of me wanted to try and down a whole bottle by myself. I actually sent a bottle of this out as part of a BIF, and I now feel extremely guilty (they will be receiving one of the exponentially better locally-made IPA's as soon as I can land some). BBC, get your **** together and focus on quality instead of gimmicks.

Insecure insofar as I didn't want preluderl to think I was a mean meanie.

Yeah, they're kind of a pinata for a number of reasons, the product being only one.

Yeah but if you guess all 7 hops used in that beer, you win a free case. Isn't that worth something?

 

[kbuzz1]

Did you read the review? It's worth about as much as a tub of expired lunchmeat.
