Random Beer Thoughts

Have you considered drawing faces on them an giving them names? You wouldn't feel so lonely when sitting in their presence.

The speed at which you posted a gif of what exactly I was referring to impressive.

Well done.

I've already placed my chair in front of the brewery. Should hold my place till at least February.

I think that show could have been good if they had stuck to the premise for which it was named for more than one episode.

Maybe if the dude wasn't such a whiney baby the whole time. I quit watching after he blew it with January Jones.

Apparently beer shitlordery is nowhere near as bad as Texas' brisket snobs

Yeah but that is some damn good brisket.

Hahaha, I thought it was a joke when I was told that people were doing that at places like Tired Hands .

Well ****, looks like this year's BA Yeti is retailing for a cool $15.99. Guess Great Divide learned from their mistakes.

What is the deal with Cycle's trademark dispute? Too lazy to Google it right now.

They released 5 more stouts this week using their stupid 8 am 1 bottle for each day of the week format. It's basically a "greatest hits" of Cycle beers. Hazelnut, Pallet 1, coconut, &+, vanilla.

Yeah, release your best beers with a low limit so as many folks as possible can get some.

So stupid.

I was wondering why they were calling it trademark dispute. Did someone go after them?

Color me dumb.
What does that have to do with a trademark dispute? We're they named the weekdays?

Actually they were all no limit and lasted all week, so some people left with dozens of sets. I meant that they release 5 different bottles throughout the week instead of all at once

No idea. Cycle just likes remaking the same beers with different names to confuse people i guess. Don't know about any trademark issues

 

[beerindex]

Weird. I had the exact opposite experience. Got a ton of coconut and just enough coffee to make me wish it didn't have coffee because it was sorta distracting being there in the background.

So we felt differently about the coffee, but both wanted it gone. Interesting.

Sierra Nevada Nooner

Sierra Nevada Nooner

Maybe SN should have made their beer before Cycle.

 

[7SeasCellarman]

I'm throwing out a wildcard and saying the newest trending beer to up and come is ; dandelion saison . (Note I wrote this 4 pints deep, 2 of which were Boneyard notorious and a holy mountain deadfall)

 

[JulianB1]

According to Cycle, the name had nothing to do with Sierra Nevada or Nooner, it was just a general commentary on trademark disputes in the craft beer industry being such a big issue these days.

Also, as noted they were all no limit and $30 per bottle because

1. Cycle can produce a lot of beer now (in a relative sense).

2. They've been pretty clear about their desire to hurt secondary market flippers.

Pissenlit has been around for a while, but I guess only a serious knower would know that and appreciate it's awesome.

I just reviewed Pachamama Porter, a collaborative brew between Two Roads Brewery and Evil Twin. If you can find it, please give it a shot.

I figured we could have a thread for things which aren't interesting enough to warrant their own thread but also not irreverent or amusing enough for the true Random Thoughts thread.

Anyone else not very impressed with the direction Sierra Nevada has been going lately? I'm mostly referring to their seasonal releases and mixed packs, where it feels like they are getting lazier and lazier. Today I saw the new "Winter Snowpack" seasonal variety pack at my local store. It's a case that contains 4 each of Coffee Stout (cool, I'd like to try this), Boomerang IPA (IPA with New Zealand hops, sounds fine but it's yet another IPA from Sierra), and two of their regular shelf beers, Porter and Pale Ale. How do you fill half a seasonal pack with year-round beers, including one that's your flagship and available in half the gas stations in the country? This started in the fall where that variety pack had Pale as well. Not to mention the 6-pack seasonals are getting more boring and I'd argue worse (Ruthless Rye has gotten worse each year, and Flipside is totally bleh and replaced Tumbler which, while not great, was at least something different).

I haven't seen this around, but I also haven't looked for it. I have to agree that in my experience, while they do make quality products, their line seems to be pretty one dimensional.

LOL I didn't even notice the date. And I always hate when people do that on other forums...as Homer would say...

I saw BA Hibernation for about the same the other day.

Was $25 last time around iirc.

After my last 2 bottles got infected, I still passed.

Been drinking for 12 hours now. At some ****** sports bar drinking bcbs and stand by my opinion that it's underwhelming this year.

Not sure I trust your palate right now.
