Nobody figured out synthetic vanilla yet?

I got a case of this **** FT...looking for dank Festbiers. PM for ratios.

Neck beards don’t want vanillin in their beer? Weird.

Vanillin is that fake vanilla that comes from a beaver’s ass.

Our best local brewery is acting really hard to become precious...

the labels on these bottles feature actual photos of the raw brass tables in our restaurant! Those tables serve as living artifacts of the guests who share them, the staff who care for them, and all the hands that touch them over time. We see them as a collective human fingerprint, and we are beyond excited to honor them on these bottles.

Across a variety of styles, those are the best tables in the world. I’m sorry, but no one else is on their level.

Not effusive enough.
Would not meme again.

Is there some special prize in North Carolina given to the brewery that pulls off the most ridiculous version of this shtick? Snarf, Photekut, and I have been mocking Burial and Fonta Flora for years over this stuff.

Pretty interesting article on Lithuanian Farmhouse Beers. Says the brewer has been in the states for some festivals. Anyone ever have anything from them before?

Man... I've never been able to find a company that would do quality custom glasses...

Do you need someone to do the design? Or just make the glasses?

Just to make them. I've got designs for days. Most of them are dickbutt related.

Not had anything from them before but this guy Lars Garshol has a great blog on this sort of thing and visited Jovaru Alus - http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/351.html

His whole blog is a great read, especially his research into raw ales and Kveik.

I think Kveik fermented beers are going to take off. That stuff is so easy to use and produces fast and (some of them) incredibly clean. Easy ipa for days.

I just got my first vial, super excited to try it out. Hope to save it and prop it up in the future.

Drying them is really easy.



Also, as the article mentions, you can't treat it like other yeasts. This stuff likes the raw dog treatment. We've been using pure strains as the mixed ones are harder to deal with for consistency.

Yeah I've been using the Voss strain a bit, I haven't tried drying it out but I get great results just pitching a third of a vial in 5 gallons, it loves being wayyyy underpitched, amazing stuff. Works real nice with brett too.

No idea how they've managed to get HF to come over.

Anyone had the Hop Concept IPA’s? Assume they are pretty good based on pedigree, but haven’t tried them

Not sure the best place for this post, so Random Beer Thoughts it is.

While the idea of 40 Spice (Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with chocolate, marshmallow and cookies & cream) is one of those things that typically triggers my curmudgeon beer side, it was ******* delicious. I don't even want to know how they got the "cookies & cream" character in the beer as I'm sure it will only make me like it less.

A place that makes a solid Marzen / Oktoberfest and an over the top pastry stout is interesting if nothing else.
