Random Beer Thoughts

[cultclassic89]

Was really hoping to see something like:

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) – A man has been arrested and taken to the hospital after stealing a beer truck and running himself over trying to elude police.

Around 5:45 a.m. on Monday, Columbus Police responded to the Circle K on the 1400 block Veterans Pkwy. where an overweight, bearded man stole a beer truck containing Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout.

That would have been on point, especially considering that BCBS is being sent back to Goose Island from Georgia:

hopefully the 13.8 tastes better than the 14.3 does, at least for bottles

I wonder how many other people have the same birthday as me.

Bummed to hear that Pretty Things will be no more. In a time when barrel-aged stouts and barleywines and sour everything seem to hog all the seats on the hype-train, Pretty Things executed more traditional, non-barrel-aged beers with great subtlety and attention to detail.

Our Finest Regards is a first rate beer and one of the best American-brewed barleywines that I've had. I also really enjoyed St. Botolph's Town, Field Mouse's Farewell, Babayaga and Barbapapa. Cheers Pretty Things!

Stinks for them, but at least they don't have equipment and **** they have to divest themselves of now.

Strong dislike! It looks like their website is taking a hit, here's the full text:

“For a beginning, there must be an end. You can wander off your path or you can leave it with purpose. The results may be no different, but forceful actions leave a sparkling trail.”

So thought the Fieldmouse as he set out and strayed into another world.

Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project is drawing to a close.

Seven years ago we sold our first glass of beer at The Publick House in Brookline. We didn’t foresee then that our strange project would become such a part of our lives.

It has been a crazy fun time. We’ve dressed up in more costumes than a Bob Hope special. Amazing employees and friends have conspired with us along the way. Bocky, Anya, and John Funke have channeled our project almost better than we have done ourselves. And we found a rag tag group of like-minded creative brewers out there in the world as well.

Brewing our beers has been a great labor and a great joy. But best of all we shared it with so many great beer drinkers. It really feels like we met you all. We’ve stood in shops, bars, restaurants, on stages, in VFW halls. Sometimes you were already fans. Sometimes you spat out our beer. Sometimes you just fancied a chat. We always felt happy to meet you by the end. It was always fun, or funny, or we sold a beer, or learned something. Many of you became friends. We’ve loved drinking beers with you.

We hope our beers brought you joy and brought you closer together. There’s no greater goal for a batch of beer or a project like ours.

After seven years it’s time to draw the curtains and head off to a new adventure. A poorly drawn grain of barley called Jack D’Or made this whole thing possible. He’ll be coming with us.

Cheers to you all.
Dann and Martha

They will be seriously missed. Some of the most interesting, well-crafted beers on the market.

Anyone know why they are closing?

 

[cneville1]

Anyone know why they are closing?

there was some weird twittery pissing contest where someone was saying it might be because they blew the whistle on pay to play at MA bars, calling out their own distributors. also everything they made was expensive and in 22oz bottles.

 

[jedwards]

Nothing I've heard specifically, but Chris Hughes's great profile of Dann and Martha from a couple years ago might shed light on their philosophy about being brewers and where they saw everything going at the time: http://www.bostonmagazine.com/resta...quid-diet-pretty-things-dann-martha-paquette/

I received a flu shot today, so I went to the liquor store to look for Four Roses Single Barrel. It was sold out, so I grabbed Alpine Hoppy Birthday instead. It sucks.

Everything in beer and whiskey gets worse, only worse.

I like the way you think.

I like the way you think.

I've started ascribing everything that follows from A to B as being causal.

I drank Cellarmaker's Wicked Juicy on Friday, wound up at a gay bar, and woke up on Saturday morning on a strange couch with bite marks in my shoulder. Therefore, never drink Wicked Juicy.

See, I did the same thing, but ended up at a backroom bar in the Mission drinking palo cortado and doing shots of Nikka Coffey. I think it might be you.

Did you have more than one?

I only had one.

Therefore, always drink more Wicked Juicy. RedCoffee is correct.

Holy **** the picture with the beer is perfect.

Hurry up and vote for the best Oregon made Belgian-style beers at the Oregonian. Will Deschutes Mirror Pond beat out Boneyard's Bone-A-Fied Pale Ale? Or will up and comers Pfriem sneak away with a victory with their Single Hop Pale?

What a joke.

From the taste of it, the newest Sticky Hands should win an award for "Most ****** up American IPA that tastes like a terrible Belgian IPA and should have been dumped- but **** it, money, right?"

I randomly stumbled upon it. As much as I love my glasses, I wouldn't buy into something like this. Interesting though

Will sell a ton. Good for them.

You can tell the one on the left is into it, but the one on the right is just experimenting.

Completely agree. I don't know what is going on with the yeast in that one.

And while not exactly infringing on what hannydawg made for the Glasswhales group, it's certainly the same idea.

Anyone had a 2015 Blushing Monk recently? Thinking that may work for a non-beer drinking family to try tomorrow?

The best Western Michigan made double raspberry ale made with Belgian yeast money can buy

Was just at my local store and noticed several Goose Island Black Friday posters in strategic locations. Each one had a hand written note taped on: "Plenty to go around!" "Lots to sell that day!" "We'll have a ton!"
