Random Beer Thoughts

[capnmike]

Do I think most releases are shitshows? No, but the high proportion of releases that are shitshows has increased dramatically over the past few years.

Not a release, but liked this disclaimer from Monk's FB page re: BCBS event tomorrow.

"*Monk's Pub reserves the right to limit beers (no hoarding four beers at a table for one person!). Monk's Pub has a limited amount of each beer and cannot magically make more if you arrive late. Monk's Pub wants you to smile even though you might not get to taste each beer and remember it's delicious beer, not the last drink of water on the planet."

ugh... yeah, a lot of us suck... but do you guys really think most releases are shitshows?

This is why I always enjoyed the way Sante does their releases. They just take a picture of the board right before they open and there you go. Now the next day after a rumored "big batch of insert fruited beer here" might be a little bit different. But never on a grand scale for what I read. It wasn't until the last batch of cask strawberry that I saw my first bonafide grandmule.

Not directed at you specifically, but can we start quoting these crappy articles here? I hate being suckered into these click bait-y articles.

Not sure if I'd call that click bait...but the writer eloquently answers her own question with:

"Some would say yes, and some would say no, but no one can deny that beer geeks and breweries are ga-ga over growlers. Yes, my friends, growlers are good!"

Wondering why arren is pulling up a 2 year old dumb as **** article...lol

Ah, just saw Alpine share it on FB, didn't bother to look at the date; my bad.

Oh I see it on their page now. They've been re-posting some really thought provoking **** lately. That article on serving beer in a frosted mug was earth shattering.

Oh man, that was some of the most self-serving indulgent crap I've read recently. Seems like cicerones always have a chip on their shoulder for stupid **** like that.

I just don't think that a brewery that serves aromatic hoppy beer in a shaker pint has ground to call out other beer serving improprieties...

I mean, the IPA I had last night was very outgoing.

Discussion I had with my buddy last night...

If someone created a coffee infused lambic, would the farts be weapons grade gas or would it just be automatic sharts?

Deep thoughts on Tuesday night while texting back and forth during an awful Purdue-NW game.

levifunk care to comment? Though that was on at GTMW, which provides mixed results between the Firkin tent and meat on a stick and other fun.

My guess would be automatic sharts. neither really make me fart but coffee moves through me pretty quickly so my quess is you would be having some liquid *****. And as we all know those are hard to hold in when they decide they are coming. Mix that with the lambic and you better have a toilet nearby.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All they said was, "Okay, so we might have brewed a beer with Ramen noodles. Maybe. Probably. Okay, well, we did. Stay tuned."

I just don't know why this actually exists.

Looks like this is also a thing that that brewery does:

There is a bar in Charleston that use to do something like that, too. Don't think it was a beer bar, though.

There's a bunch of breweries in SC that have yoga days. In Charleston I believe it's a yoga deal that rotates around among 3 breweries there.
