The only exploded can I heard about was due to a sealing error and not explosive tasty sugar bits.

Spoiler

I really want there to be explosive tasty sugar bits on a FedEx truck somewhere.

That I knew, I just haven't heard anything about how it actually taste. I imagine it would taste pretty good, but I didn't know it had chunks in it which is rather off-putting.

I didn't realize it had floating bits of white frosting until I read that article.

I think I'll just eat some Oreos.

I drank a can last night. It was delicious, liquid Oreo fudge. My can didn't explode, but the top had some pressure on it before opening.

Had a can with a perfect level of carb and minimal chunks. Wanted to hate it, but it was delicious. Honestly don't know why Veil doesn't just install an inline randal to their canning line at this point.

Mmmm, novelty beer for childish palates.

Girlfriend got a Stone Wit Vertical whatever last night at the pub. She wanted a wit and she figured it would at least be ok. She was wrong - it was horrible one note clovey garbage.

and speaking of one note - I had a local saison that people are raving about. Again, all messy yeast esters, with a sugary finish. It sucks that saison to a lot of people means "I dunno, let's try make dupont but do it badly".

I can't remember if I posted that already. Either way, it needs to be said.

This is a pet peeve and why I hold a grudge against many NE IPAs. So many of them look like nasty dishwater. A lot of them taste good enough that I overlook it though.

I'd rather drink a jar of that Heinz turkey gravy rather than what most of them taste like.

I'd rather drink gravy.

FTFY

Madness & Civilization is a panorama of our barrel aging program—oak-aged beers that emerge from their individual silences to find structure and voice as a unified composition. This is the result of an unpredictable state of permanent happenstance—a dialogue with our evolving approach to blending that challenges convention and circumstance.

I think that says we blend random **** together, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Share. Consider. Enjoy.

Or something like that

can you taste the haze?

TB needs a true blind taste test. blacked out glasses, beers served in a dark room, no hints of what may be drank.

could be hazy, could be crystal clear, could be a name beer from a big brewery, could be an unknown one-off.

Given the proclivity of the membership here, ingesting liquids in a dark room with them sounds like a bad idea.

This **** was nuts, like unfermented wort meets vodka.

I tried it twice.

I'm always complaining about how the beer game , especially releases, are for the unemployed. And how I just watch from the sidelines like a responsible adult.

And today......I find myself jobless...........with MOTHER ******* SF Beer Week 5 DAYS away!!

Suck it, responsibilities!!

Anybody else think bigfoot tastes quite different this year? I realize the label is different so the spices must also be different, but this year I got a distinct bubble gum character in it I've never caught before. Way less bitter too.

Shruggy guy.

Jesus christ... 11 hours in line for a hazy IPA.

Some choice excerpts:
“We’re road warriors,” said Mr. Roulhac, 40, who regularly makes the round trip to Other Half.

"It was about 15 hours of waiting, sometimes for only six cans.”

When the brewery announces on Twitter that the day’s stock is running low, Mr. Lanier said, “all walks of nature pop out of their car and sprint across the parking lot.”

The prize is not just beer. There are bragging rights for those who post photos of their haul on Instagram.

Some beer fans prefer not to wait, hiring professional line sitters like Same Ole Line Dudes, several of whom were stationed at Other Half’s recent release in Brooklyn.
