Your first post makes it pretty obvious you're enough on beer that it really doesn't matter what you drink next.

I have no idea what this means, but if you are just looking to drink, go to 7venth Sun and Garagiste.

I think he wants to know if Ben Affleck has a brewery in Tampa that will stitch you up if necessary. Possibly Ben Kingsley if he's into the GILFs.

Even granting Hi Sign's claim that they were doing blonde ales with blueberries before Real Ale, they are really ******* stupid. Their brewery opened last year apparently, per Untappd. So, off hand a few blonde ales with blueberries that have been brewed longer than Hi Sign has existed:

• Big Muddy Blueberry Blonde
• Gritty McDuff's Blueberry Blonde
  
• Saranac Blueberry Blonde Ale
  
• SLO Brewing Blueberry Blonde

And I'm sure there are many others if I were to go digging. A quick search shows that, to exactly zero surprise, these jackasses aren't even the first Texas brewery to do what they seem to believe is so original. Galveston Bay Beer Company started making a Blueberry Blonde in 2015.

They’re that brewery in every town that keeps trying to make cloudy NEIPAs but they always turn out clear.

They’re those guys.

And if we’re strictly talking Blueberry beers... Seadog has been packaging one as their flagship for deeeecades now.

Such a dumb thing to tweet at a brewery that opened in 1996.

1996.

Also, not on their official twitter handles I see the owners of Austin Beerworks, Pinthouse Pizza, Freetail Brewing egging Real Ale on in the comments. Embarrassing. Ha.

Finally decided to uninstall Tavour when I saw this:
The Ale Apothecary - Sahalie - $37.99 for 1x750ml bottle
Style: American Wild Ale, ABV: 9.4%

The Threes bottle shop, which I love and respect and which has great prices for everything else they sell, has a bottle of Sahalie (possible some barrel variant or something?) for $50.

 

[jammery]

If so, it has gone up in price ~75% over the last few years. I remember snagging bottles of La Tache and Sahalie for $22 back in the day.

Sahalie is crazy expensive in distro. Cheapest bottle shop in nyc has it for $43. They barely mark things up at all. So...

I though we were getting burnt at €40 a bottle but maybe not

How the **** do they justify those prices?

How the **** do they justify those prices?

Paul Arney's explanation to me was that he feels it's a premium product that reflects the time and skill involved in producing his beers. I can't say I entirely disagree. His brewing process is definitely unusual and reflective of some of the things he did at Deschutes.

It's definitely the other side of the pricing model from de Garde but I feel like I constantly see more sour beer creeping up to the same price per ounce, especially ones that are basically fruit juice with a little bland sour beer mixed in.

Too inconsistent to justify that much. Last two bottles I had were both an acidic mess.

The sign on the door to AA’s Taproom in Bend does say “Most expensive beer in town.” At least they’re honest.

12oz cans of beer are such ********.

They don’t fit any glass right... not even the standard or standards shaker pint.

They can’t even get you slightly buzzed with 1 can.

**** this ****.

**** beer .

I wish all beers came in 12 oz (or maybe 375) format or smaller. The stuff that comes in bombers and 750s is basically all stuff I wouldn't want to drink a bomber or 750 of.

What does this even mean? 12 oz beers fit in every glass. 16oz beers, however, don't fit in **** and it's super annoying.

 

[nathanmiller]

I like ordering 12 ounce cans at bars to see when the bar uses bantam-weight shaker pints instead of actual pints.

I also think there should be a law against advertising a "pint" of beer and selling it in a glass that holds less than 16 ounces.

Or rather, an enforced law, as several such laws do actually exist in different states.
