Random Beer Thoughts

1500 is much closer to our cellar situation.

As someone living in an earthquake zone those shelves make me super nervous.

As someone living not in an earthquake zone, but we have had 3 since I lived here because **** fracking, We keep ours in boxes.










They were about the intensity to knock over a plastic chair, but srs, we are nowhere near a fault line. This should not happen.

I love cloudy IPAs as much as the next chump but I am starting to really be triggered by how much the word "Juice" is currently being used in IPA names.

Orange Juice
Juice Bomb
Juice Box
Juice City
Double Juice
Jooooose
Juicy Bits
Contains No Juice
This is Juice
WTF is Juice
O'Juice Simpson

Some kid is gonna die picking up and drinking a 6-pack of pounders with "Juice Box" written on the label with a bunch of bright imagery. So that's also a concern.

Not as big as my being triggered however.

ISO: O'Juice Simpson

So, when are breweries gonna start wax dipping cans?

Back on page 289...

I can't wait until the day we see a completely non-ironic, 100% serious release of wax dipped cans of beer.

It appears that day is today...

Local brewery waxing crowlers for their anniversary and super limited (53). I love this brewery but come on...

Just kidding proton brother

just catching up on this thread from the past few days

Liked for the cat at the end.

don't know who the cat belongs to (probably raginasian238 ) but it's not the beer owner's

Having that much beer is dumb.

this isn't even close to as much as he once had

A lot of that beer did noooooot age well.

soooo many drain pours

That's like a 7" beer penis at most.

add .5"

This right here is why I dont trade for vintage beer. This person is obviously proud of their apartment room temp aged beer, and I will guarantee they'd list it as "properly cellared". I wonder how good a 15 year old bcs stored in the warmest part of a room temperature room can possibly be. So many of those beers were once good, but he's lost the point of aging now and it's just hoarding. All those cigar city imperial sweet stouts? Sorry bud.

What appliance is that in there unplugged?

Beer on the shelf cannot be in a better state right now and I'd argue I can buy better stouts off the shelf right now than the state most of those are currently in.


I know how hypocritical I am saying this, with a 400ish beer collection going myself. But I rationalize it by it being primarily lambic and all fridge kept at 55. I had to deinventory my big ass wine cooler recently for a repair and lining everything up in a spare room was embarassing and an eye opener. Ive become very cavalier about when I choose to drink "the nice beers" over the course of the last couple of years since, well, most of them arent getting better and I dont need special occasions when there clearly will never be enough special occasions. Sometimes a Tuesday I didn't get too annoyed at work is just sufficient enough to drink a Rare. Otherwise, short of selling, a lot will go to waste. I assume I'm not alone.

almost all of these beers were once kept in an off-site wine storage facility. now they are kept in a darkened room with the AC going at all time. but you're definitely right about hoarding.

Isn’t that an in room AC unit dead center in the first pic? I mean it looks like it’s not plugged in, but just thought I would point it out.

it's a dehumidifier. there was a ceiling leak at one point.

Damn. We have had some drain pours over the years, but mostly because it was stuff that wasn't good to begin with. Amazing what happens when you stop buying crap breweries, stuff that doesn't have good closures, stuff that isn't meant to age. And also just when you buy less of it overall.

I’m over here trying to discuss with a brewery representative that he should choose a different descriptor than “buttery” for a sour. He’s trying to convince me it’s a desired flavor in sours. Why do I even bother?


Taste: tart, peach, mango, mineral. Needs more diacetyl.


Said no one ever

Nah, fam, you definitely need to pull the wool over the eyes of your uneducated customers.

 

[Phischy1]

That looks like a dehumidifier.

You’d ideally want a modified window AC and the room at 55 degrees.

I had a friend that had 1500 bottles in a room he basically converted into a walk in fridge with insulation and a modded ac.

I built a walk-in in my garage. Coolbot + AC unit, 6.5" walls with blown in closed cell foam, 6'x8' footprint and I keep it at 40. I don't hoard bottles, but I probably have 150 or so, most of which need to be drank now. Rest is all homebrew.

Indeed it is a thing, I hope they can the Marzen too so I can get a fresh case.

I'm stuck at Ikea. My wife disappeared 30mins ago to "go checking something out".

It's like a Disney Land of pissed off disappointed children you just realized this place sucks balls.

FML.

Maybe it’s just the New York ones but the catering in Ikea sucks compared to their European stores.

Doesn’t stop me from mashing those ******* meatballs into my eatin hole to dull the pain of being there.

I hate IKEA to an unreasonable degree. Meatballs can't save it.

And they serve beer at the ones in Europe.

I mean I don't really expect good food at a ****** furniture store?

Because here in america we can't go 2 hours without shoving things in our gaping maws.












Specifically your mother.

I THOUGHT it looked familiar. But I didn't want to call it out.

Had a lot of ticks that night. Most were awful.

 

[Phischy1]

Ikea just sucks. From their stupid ******* layout to all the cheap crap. We we're there buying drapes for our guest bedrooms.

Also, when did this turn into the regular random thoughts thread?

Sorry for derailing the IKEA thread but Cloudwater getting called out.

Sorry for derailing the IKEA thread but Cloudwater getting called out.

Curious if they'll respond or act like they never saw it amongst the sea of Instagram.
