That's actually pretty funny. Good work there.

So Blåbær is a hazy triple IPA with blueberries this year?


Edit: I'm an idiot.

See, this is an example where Poe's Law applies to beer, and hence makes April Fool's jokes very difficult.

I would absolutely believe everything about this *except* for the whole "instead of/revamping Blabaer" part. That's the only thing that made it not believable to me. But this as a separate, parallel product? It's absolutely the kind of thing I could see them doing.

Chalk this up to another April Fool's joke that already exists. There's at least one brewery out there putting beer in pouches.

are the words TalkBeer really censored on BA?


"I am now going to impose a two-week ban on myself for mentioning * and RateBeer on BeerAdvocate."

Yup, also lambic.info. I got warned for posting a link cause someone was looking for some bottling dates.

Fantome doesnt instagram but had an embarassingly bad one on facebook showing a heavily pixilated sideways label on a can suggesting a collab with Cantillon that was the “very best of Belgium” 12% ipa

It was posted here earlier but the Facebook post has been removed.

More genius than stupid

With all the junk mail they've been sending out lately (why I'm still on that list I'll attribute to pure laziness), you might get your wish soon enough, lol. I think they wanted me to pay to get early access to their app. Ha.

Plus I imagine that what's happening here (people migrating to Facebook/Reddit/wherever else away from forums) is waaaaay more exacerbated over there. The Southwest forum is a dead donkey over there whereas you used to have a post per minute. People following trucks taking pictures, posting stores where limited release beers are, etc...

....Might have a post or two a day now. Less eyes, less power, less ad revenue. Less trips to sunny Belgium.

Fits Fantome 100% with how janky yet awesome it is.

Having seen the Forest Ghost labels, I'll need more proof this isn't real.

April Fools **** from breweries is usually pretty hammy and dumb but this is great.

I just logged in to check and the Mid-Atlantic forum still seems like it's humming along. (more-so than here)

Also it seems like they haven't had an issue of the magazine out since November. I have no idea if I am still subscribed or not but they are apparently going to email everyone soon or something about the magazine.
