Content from a much worse beer site

Yeah, nothing says moderation like drinking 10 or more beers a day, for days or weeks at a time, as practice for a three day festival of drinking 20 pints a day. Likewise, chanting "champion of beer" before bed is obviously the polar opposite of the frat antics we're told to avoid.

Watching drunk people drink a vertical of Hopslam was a highlight of my weekend.

Surly, Todd, save the bees!

Local brewing legend Todd Haug’s last Minnesota-brewed beer will be released next weekend – and profits from it will help bees.

The former head brewer at Surly said last fall he’d be leaving Minnesota to work at 3 Floyds Brewing in Munster, Indiana. But before he makes his exit, he wanted to brew one final beer here.

It’s called HEXIT (the word you get when you combine Haug and exit). The beer is an oats- and honey-flavored IPA that has a dry hop aroma “of mic-drop proportions,” Badger Hill says.

Haug had been working on the idea for the dry-hopped braggot (a mead-beer hybrid) and had even connected with Rufer’s Apiaries Inc. in Waverly to provide the 600 pounds of honey needed to brew the beer, The Growler explained.

But when Haug resigned from Surly, he put the beer on hold – until he got the chance to brew it with Badger Hill, The Growler noted.

And profits from the beer will go directly to the Minnesota Honey Producers Association and the University of Minnesota Bee Lab, Badger Hill says. (Read more about how beer can help bees below.)

Where you can buy HEXIT

HEXIT will be available at the release party in Badger Hill’s taproom starting at noon on Jan. 28.

At the release party, you’ll be able to buy the beer on tap in the taproom and in 750ml wax-dipped (yes, the wax includes beeswax) bottles. Then after the party, bottles will be distributed to some liquor stores (information on which ones hasn’t been released yet).

You can find more details about the release party here.

Bees and beer

Honey has been used to make beer forever (literally, since the first known reference to beer back in 7000 BC), so naturally breweries around the country have boosted their efforts to help save bees.

But new research shows one of the main ingredients in beer might actually do that.

Bees have been dying off a lot faster, in part because of something called colony collapse disorder. One of the leading causes of CCD are varroa mites, but a lot of the common methods used to ward off the parasites aren’t that great for the bees themselves, the Yale Environmental Review said.

Now scientists have discovered that hop beta acids (which are extracted from the cones of hop plants that are used in making beer) repel the mites, and won’t harm the bees or humans, the Bad Beekeeping Blog explained.

Something about bees though?

Tents are old news. The CBS-KBS days of yore would often find tents near the front of the line that must have been like clown cars with the amount of people who would occupy that space later in the morning. It was not uncommon to go from #25 to the upper 50's when the five or six tents were put away. It's the brazenness of the empty chair that gets me.

It really upsets me that I had to make this gif myself. Internet be slacking.

I love the Veil and I try to make some of their releases, but this type of **** is why I refuse to go to any of their specialty- one off can releases. I can wait a week when they release their standard offerings and walk in without issue as opposed to waiting in line for hours and making me question my will to live.

Is it bad that I sort of want some of these cans to explode in FedEx trucks for how much they can be *********s sometimes?

They don't help with the endless amount of self hype they try and generate for themselves multiple times a day.

As long as we can wait a week on that and explode in my mouth

In regard to their release announcements and videos and all that? I mean sure they hype, but I blame the people that buy into it and show up at butt-****** o'clock with a tent.

They self hype like nothing I've ever seen though. Everything is the best batch ever and super limited. I think it was last week that they posted that they were selling something stupid like 18 total super special limited edition mega .rar glasses on a particular day and then proceed to make like 3-4 more posts shortly after promoting other beer releases in that same glass... I can appreciate that they're trying to market the product and people are obviously buying in to it but for me it's just too damn much.

I was discussing that place with a local guy and he made the comment that is by, by far, the most pretentious place he had ever been to and he actually got anxiety sitting there.

 

[chefduff2]

Well, I actually meant FedEx. I had to drive to the depths of hell to their warehouse in horseheads, ny to pick up a suspiciously sounding package they wouldn't drive the 30 more miles from Colorado.

My Fed Ex guy is cool AF. Knows I am sending and getting beer. Gives zero *****. He gets a handle of Johnny Red for the holidays.

My mon-fri guys are great. The package hit a truck for Saturday delivery. It said on the truck and then they called me.
