Random Beer Thoughts

[gregkoko]

people buy Evil twin beers? First I'm hearing.

BA Biscotti Break is always worth the $25
Also ride hard for Falco (when fresh)

Other than that I basically agree

I just don't understand how they can manage to care so much, and I say this about brewers I like (and even friends of mine) who complain about it. It's ****** crowd-sourced data, and moreover there is a lot of it. You don't like the rating someone gave your beer on Untappd? Good thing it uses a Bayesian weighted rating scale, and that one review is going to be one of hundreds (or thousands) of data points and therefore have a minuscule overall contribution to the rating.

Julian please

In more positive talk, how about some props for Bells who produces lots of affordable great options in packaged format (Two Hearted, Expedition Stout, Best Brown, Oberon, Third Coast and Porter jump off as great examples of classic styles), but also has 35 options on at the Eccentric Cafe in the heart of the "off" season in Kalazmazoo.

Also offering multiple pour sizes for all your offerings is another way to my heart.

And it's almost always fresh here. Two Hearted is pretty much my go to beer when going to a party. Also QFalls if it's around

I'd buy a lot more Two-Hearted tallboy cans if they showed up here within 2 months of canning. The local stores also keep them on the shelves at room temp, because all the cold box space apparently has to be used for macro stuff.

I'm actually okay with a lot of Evil Twin's stouts. They are what they are and you know that getting into them - big, sweet, boozy beers, often with lots of adjuncts. But they are usually pretty good in that style and not priced much (if any) worse than comparable offerings out there.

But holy **** who thought that series of Molotov Cocktail "IPAs" was a good idea? The original Molotov Cocktail was decent for a 120 Minute-ish extreme beer, but Molotov Lite and all the subsequent canned iterations are just boozy, solventy, alcohol and malt bombs.

Probably amongst the freshest IPA on shelves in NYC. I regularly see it within 2-3 weeks of bottling.

Based AF Meijer here always has them cold and fresh.

Guessing from the glass that's a Veil beer? I've seen some similar posts about a recent one of theirs.

I've personally had some cans of Focal Banger that had a similar effect.

Samesies (this photo was after I let it settle for like 5 minutes):

Peach Milkshake IPA in my case... 5/10, would not put my lawnchair outside the brewery.

 

[beerandraiderfan]

So putting cous cous in your beer is a thing now?

 

[Sam Fu]

It's OK Guy from The Veil. There's so much peach and apricot that there's pulp. I'm at the bottom of the glass now and it doesn't really have much texture, but tons of fruit flavor.

That doesn't sound too bad, the bottom of mine was just gunk and tasted like paper.

Hey at least the beer was as advertised. Couple weeks ago some #newmoney stood in line for hours for a Pure Project (yeah, they're a no-name here too) canned release here of one of their "murky" IPAs, and they were so disappointed to get it home, crack it open, and find out it was actually incredibly clear.

So are they adding purée directly to the cans?

Wake me up when we just dispense with the beer part of these beers altogether.

I like-a tha juice, but I've always called them IPAs for people who can't handle IPAs.

What are you talking about? They're obviously awful and no one should go out of their way to acquire them.
