Aka Marketing?

Yes very annoying and silly marketing.

Yes very annoying and silly marketing.

And effective? The hype is definitely out of control with some of these places but if there's one thing I don't blame it on its the breweries themselves. They are a business, they should promote their products. What do you expect them to do?

"Hey guys we made this beer, it's not our best but it's ok. Come try it if you want or don't, we don't care."

I know and I said as much in my follow up but there is promoting and then ridiculous over the top promoting/hyping. I also know it isn't always the norm but some people don't need to really promote or hype themselves at all and they do just fine.

Still crack up every time at the little hop au the beginning.

Hey ********,

It's s an absolute classic. A completely unique brew. Unlike anything else you'll taste across the country.

Aged on local black cherries for 15 months inside Bourbon barrels and then Sherry casks.

Featuring a whooping 13.5% hit of alcohol that's extremely well layered into this complex beer.

Expect a rich mahogany pour with notes of everything deep, dark, sultry and beautiful...

... cherries, bourbon, tobacco, oak, vanilla, port, sherry, smoky raisin, dark plums and more.

It's no wonder it sits at the perfect "100" mark on Rate beer and a World-Class "95" on Beer advocate.

Limit 2 bottles per person. Will probably go extremely fast.

Spoiler: Wut is it!

Yes, it is weird but had the mango lassi gose version with the topping and enjoyed it. Plus they make some good pizza at their taproom in Stockholm.

Mango lassi gose is my ******* jam!

I like the idea. They had a couple of beers served that way at CBC Boston, and I tried the Double Barrel Noa; it did not impress.

Now, if I get a slush topped version of Frucht: Passion Fruit from The Bruery, that'd be ******* great.

At least when Omnipollo does weird stuff it usually tastes good.

BUT IT HAS OREOZ IN IT!!!

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?

Welp, they didn't even make it to the FedEx trucks:

Hahaha.

Just there to up the trade value, though.

ISO: Unexploded cans

Yeah... But we're cool with whipped toppings on beers? Is that OK?

Think I'm with JulianB's gif.

 

[Barroomhero]

Also, exploding Oreo stout cans?

Give it to Omnipollo. They'll do it proper in non-exploding bottles.

This is awesome. Good luck on your box haha.

 

[Sam Fu]

I mean, technically they warned everyone about this. If it wasn't kept cold for those 4 hours then you can't necessarily complain.


Oh wait who am I kidding, it's an Oreo beer

Whipped toppings > grasshopper randall > cookie adjunct in a can

So he did exactly what they said not to do with the cans and the result was exactly why they said not to do it?

Wasn't my post.

To be somewhat fair, the brewery actually responded to that guy sending them a message pretty quickly and let him know it was a flaw in the can/packing process itself (not unheard-of on a canning line, obviously), not because the beer refermented in the can. That would have been pretty ridiculous (a level of refermentation that would explode a can in a matter of hours), plus if the can had actually exploded for that reason it would have presumably been in the manner where it expands and then blows the lid off, not leaks from the sides/base. It's still kind of funny though, because of how it occurred with a beer where they specifically warned people about the possibility, even if it's for an unrelated reason.

Is this a thing? I've used grasshopper for michelada, that sounds like it would be awesome.
