Random Beer Thoughts

[GoodDon]

For that beer, the date matters a lot less than whether or not it was brewed at TG or that Brew Hub place in Florida. Unfortunately, if I had to guess I'd suspect your 4-pack is both old and Florida-brewed. If it happens to be from Iowa, I bet it's still very nice.

Florida Sue just isn't the same. TG just started testing their new canning line in Decorah so soon they'll can Iowa brewed Sue. Sounds like they'll still brew Florida Sue though so you'll have to check cans for where it was brewed and canned.

Called the acquisition so many times but always thought it would be InBev.

They're still due to buy something in Florida and now I'm not sure what it is.

No need to buy in Florida, they opened something this summer.

Anyone been there? The company concept sounded interesting to me. Didn't realize they were already open.

From my understanding that concept is more "neighborhood bar" than OH **** LETS RAMP THIS UP AND SELL IT IN ALL 50 STATES.

Why does J Wakefield primarily choose label art that is 1/2 step away from copyright infringement?

completely unimaginative

There's a Florida-centric Facebook group where probably 50% of the threads are devoted to making fun of Wakefield labels.

He probably promised the companies that he is ripping off special one-off beers but won't deliver.

No, need those Facebook page details!

Now that I look, J Wakefield's face on the 6ix days in Dade label is absolutely terrible

Neither of those comes across as "big beer" to me. Guessing Magnolia Brewing in SF?

If so, interesting purchase. Since they have two locations and do not bottle/can (they distribute growlers to local spots). The Haight Street location is great. Small, intimate atmosphere with good food. The newer spot is meh.

And agreed - been the BBQ place twice and can't imagine a reason to go back. Go to the Haight spot regularly.

They have been canning for about 6 months. The Kolsch and one of the IPA's

even more interesting... New Belgium and Oud Beersel setting up a lambic blendery in SF?

 

[Os]

A group led by New Belgium Brewing Company has entered into an agreement to purchase the assets of San Francisco’s iconic Magnolia Brewing as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. The newly-formed partnership will be a majority-owned subsidiary of New Belgium, with Elysian Founder Dick Cantwell and Belgian lambic producer Oud Beersel as minority partners.

Belgian lambic producer Oud Beersel joins the partnership as a contributing experimenter, with the goal of eventually shipping containers of its traditionally-produced and spontaneously fermented beers for blending with Magnolia-crafted beers. Installation of a coolship is planned, along with the wooden aging vessels for which both New Belgium and Oud Beersel are known. To be called lambic the beer must be produced in Belgium, and by shipping lambic to San Francisco the world’s first dedicated lambic blendery outside of Belgium will be established.

YES please!

The space out in Dogpatch would be a welcomed change.

They could haul it over here in dairy tankers, blend it right here in STL at InBev, and put it in tallboy cans for all I care. If it tastes good and doesn't cost $30 a bottle I'd buy the **** out of it.
