Where am I going to get my Milkshake IPAs now?

1. Acquire Tree House/Trillium/Monkish beers
2. Sign up for Instagram
3. Look at comments on Tired Hands' posts
4. Find someone to trade with
5. Hope you aren't arrested

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

There is someone on ebay now selling Tired Hands beers (6 mixed cans at a time) and you can get it for a Buy It Now of $80!

Basically if it comes in a 16oz can you can find it on eBay. So much for no alcohol sales.

"A large quantity of beer was seized at each of their homes, police said."

Whoa. They can come into your home and seize all of your beer? Game changer.

Hrm yeah that sounds preeeetty suspicious. IANAL but I'm not sure seizure of private property in the service of a misdemeanor is legit. I guess if it's evidence or something? I dunno, seems wrong.

Yes because if I know anything about it cops, it is that they would never use their power to confiscate whatever they possibly can for whatever reason.



















Civil forfeiture? Never heard of it.

Especially civil forfeiture in cases where charges never get pressed or the arrested isn't convicted. That's definitely not practiced anywhere in this country.

man, some of you guys are way too wrapped up in finding things you don't like about beer

I think my least favorite contingent on this site is the “get off my lawn all you dumb kids I don’t understand why you need to drink anything other than two hearted” who are here seemingly only to incessantly bitch about basically every other style/trend/really anything that people enjoy in beer other than things that were available and good in 2005.

Ridiculous gimmicks should be called out as such no matter the subject, medium, or hobby. If you like listening to autotune and drinking ice cream cocktail "IPAs", more power to you.




























But get the **** off my lawn.

I certainly think a lot of new beer stuff is dumb, especially most of the pastry stuff. But when I take a sip of trillium (not all, but I generally think they do a good job), it pleases my taste buds. Hill farmstead does too and happens to *gasp* also be hazy (and I don’t think trill and HF are necessarily the same, but whatever). I’m sorry if that’s bad because people don’t agree with it or they think beer needs to be clear and aggressively bitter or needs to fit into whatever perfectly neat stylized box they “determined” ipas needed to be 15 years ago, but the continuous bitching about anything other than two hearted or whatever the **** other mid 2000s hotness just gets old.

autotune

for me, whether it's music or beer or something else, the ingredient itself generally isn't the problem, but how it's used. and there are some ingredients that many don't use well...but it doesn't mean it's not possible.

TIL: IANAL is an acronym people use. And it doesn't mean they like anal.

You're absolutely right. The constant haze this, juicy that, and milkshake nonsense is a breath of fresh air.

I just draw the line when it doesn’t taste like beer anymore. Hazy IPAs may not have the bitterness of a standard IPA, but at least you can still taste hops in most of them. Pastry stouts are an abomination. Eat a ******* piece of cake and pair it with an actual stout if that’s what your palate is craving.

Pastry stouts are less filling than cake and stout together.

Pretty much this:

Drink whatcha like

But a lot of people find the haze-bro craze ridiculous not in a "get off my lawn" way but rather a "what does it really add" way. Many of us already lived through the IBU wars and can call out a ridiculous gimmick when we see one. If the haze is due to an ingredient or process that enhances the flavor of the beer, I'm for it. All too often though it's a race to see who can come up with the ugliest alcoholic swamp water. Any homebrewer can tell you the latter isn't very difficult to achieve.

The 'milkshake' iterations with an overabundance of strange ingredients that do not remotely resemble an IPA yet are still considered as such and then canned for mass hysterical hype is what I find puzzling. By all means, enjoy the hobby however you want. Somebody had to sign Afroman to a six album deal. Just don't be that co-worker of mine who got unreasonably upset in 2005 when I told him Sean Paul was just the new Shaggy.

what would the great inventor of beer, Augustus Busch, think of all these non-reinheitsgebot beers these days

for shame brewers

Just wait until you get older and your digestive system goes haywire from drinking a slurry of yeast, fiber, and hop particulates. They might taste “ok”, but getting bubble guts from one serving of “beer” is ridiculous.

sounds like you need to start eating a shittier diet on a regular basis. you've got to condition your conditioning.

there's a Taco Bell thread around here somewhere with great pointers

So i talked to this guy at Suarez for a good 35 min before it clicked as to who he was. Super nice guy. He was en route to HF...

I'm your age and I drink lots of hazy IPAs with no problem. I did, however, have a growler of a hazy IPA from Monkish that gave me some food poisoning symptoms. It was just that once, though.

In my early drinking days I used to get destructive gas from Bell's unfiltered beers. Damn near smoked out a car of friends after drinking a few Kalamazoo Stouts one night.
