What do we call glass crowlers then? I guess 'growler' is too obvious

 

[GoodDon]

those aren't *crowlers*

Oops. Misread that pretty bad.

I need coffee.

Pretty sure Dangerous Man does 750ml crowlers as well. So does Pulpit Rock over in northern Iowa. So maybe it's a regional thing.

I am firmly in the a growler is a growler is a growler camp. I just need ant880 to chime in on these glass crowlers.

But what if it's a squeeler?

Those are called Crowlitos.

So miserable people can bitch on social media about how a brewery charged $X for a 750mL crowler of beer while charging $X+$5 for an actual 750mL bottle of the same beer.

Duh

You mean Circa 2017 Craft Beer?

in case anyone finds themselves in tel aviv, the dancing camel brewery was actually pretty solid. definitely beats the ubiquitous goldstar and maccabee.

There are a number of frankly more solid options within Israel, but Dancing Camel is certainly a reasonable option, and one of the more readily available craft picks at that. From my modest experience with Israeli craft beer, I haven't had anything bad, but I also haven't had anything great. Their beers cluster are consistently solid but unmemorable.

Not beer related, but enjoy Tel Aviv! One of my favorite cities on the planet. Hacarmel market is a must if you have not been there yet.

The only other craft place I could find in Tel Aviv proper was BeerBazaar in Shuk HaCarmel. Wasn't crazy about their house beers but they had a broad selection of Israeli craft bottles, a couple were pretty good (some were a little on the old side though). Dug the Dancing Camel beers brewed with fresh mint (like the Shapiro collab).

Almost back to Boston now, but unfortunately wasn't able to get to Shuk HaCarmel while it was open (was working Sunday through Thursday, and did trips on the weekend). Managed to get to Jerusalem, the West Bank, Nazareth, Tiberias, and the Sea of Galilee though. Jaffa was great too, and an easy 25 minute walk from my hotel.

Looks like you had a great trip! I hope you enjoyed it. If you ever find yourself in Israel again I cannot recommend visiting Haifa enough. Such a great city, and equally as enjoyable as Tel Aviv.

Out of beer. Luckily I have a gallon of homebrew I separated from my carboy for the hurricane and put real high up. Bottoms up.

This **** is getting ridiculous. Can we please just go back to when beer looked and tasted good?

The yeast ***** from that will be ROUGH.

 

[jbeezification1]

A lot of breweries are still doing normal beer and then sprinkling the stupid **** in to get sales. I'm cool with it as long as the regular good beer is still good.

Hazy beer isn't going to last. That well will dry up once every brewery sells it and the shitlords realize it's not as profitable.

Please tell me this is the work of some homebrew club, and not something commercially available.

I've seen worse commercial examples.

Nope. This is a brewery in the central valley. Was a pretty good brewery until the owner retired, sold everything, and then went roadtripping across the country.
And yes, local craft beer is now the name or the brewery.

Moving this weekend to a new place in town. Having like 200 beer glasses and trying to transport them safely is currently making me want to throw them all at a wall.
