Random Beer Thoughts

[regularjohn]

Yeah, but that's funny.

I need to try some Block 15, they really know how to troll with wax it's pretty great.

 

[JulianB1]

Out of historical curiosity, what's the story of wax being used on beer bottles? As in, first commercial examples, etc. Was Dark Lord the beer that popularized the approach, even if he wasn't the first?

Speaking of dumb wax my Capricho Oscuro was dipped 5 times. Had to get a blowtorch to melt that dumb thing off.

If you're referring to modern examples then no idea but I had a bottle estimated to be from the 1950s that was corked and waxed rather than capped.

Actual lol

 

[mateoloco]

Waxing cork and caged bottles is the dumbest ****.

No, waxing bottles because you used a homebrew bottle capper and all your bottles leaked and you thought waxing them would solve your problems is the dumbest thing ever, amirite JWB? #neverforget

Did they do that? I don't think either of my two bottles were waxed.

One of the best threads on the site. I'd start at page 1 with a giant tub of popcorn. You can thank me later.

Huh, I even commented on that exact page and didn't recall the waxed bottles. Neither of my two bottles were waxed.

So, yeah. Pennsylvania: quickly becoming the wurst.

Does that label say Sole? If so can I just say I don't get it? Their beers are okay, I guess. But to me they prove that beer geeks are willing to wait in line for anything.

That's the correct answer.

I spent a Saturday morning reading that for almost an hour before hunger pangs kicked in, and I reluctantly went to make breakfast. Total gold right there.

They make cans of [insert buzzword here; your choice] IPA and slap small, round, nicely designed stickers on them.

Beer ratchets gonna be ratchet for this sort of stuff, every ******* time.

Société du Chêne sounds like a cinema major coming back from a study abroad in France and starting an after school club to watch avante garde films and eat beignets

Speaking of such words,

Last night I heard a girl pronounce kriek "kree-ick"

She also told her boyfriend "lambic is a general term, comparable to Kleenex with tissues. Like when someone orders a lambic they mean a framboi (yes no "se" pronounced) or a peche. But they just say lambic ya know?"

Before I could turn on my patented Go-Fu-Yourself mode, I noticed that the entire time she was speaking she was rubbing a crystal on her necklace. I figured "ahh yes, fixation on superfluous items. I bet your father is incredibly disappointed with your life choices", and refrained from making any sort of comment. I'm more disappointed in the boyfriend believing the diarrhea that was coming out of the girls mouth.

Stone Berlin practically giving beer away in the UK now. Once you take off taxes/duty that's around 67 pence/82 cents a can.

Ever see the episode of the Office (US) where they spend a day debating whether or not Hillary Swank is hot?

I feel we could do that with Shannon Doherty. ****, I don't even know which side of the debate I would be on.

Totally. A lot of variables to consider. Most notably, how drunk am I going to be when this happens.

I have he tendency to play with necklaces if I am wearing one. No known history of spewing dumbshit (aside from #hansonfacts)
