Random Beer Thoughts

"Hit here yesterday. My guy at the bottle shop held some back for me, then went to a different shop where I got 8 more off the shelf. Really excited to get the '16 out of my closet and do a vertical!"




^^^^^^Literally every single post in the BA "Beer News & Releases" Forum.

The most I ever buy of a big release like that is two, normally just one. [shrug]

I'm legit considering answering every "Did it hit (Insert State) yet?" with a simple "Yep. Came and went." Wonder how long I could pull it off before the banhammer?

Bet you won't.

So Vice just released the first ep of their beer series, Beerland, today. It follows the founder of ****** craft beer sellouts Golden Road as she goes around pretending to care about homebrewers.

It goes about as well as you'd expect. I'm actually surprised - it exceed my expectations of awkwardness.

Does she find any KBS, though?

What's the scoop on Urban Family, fam? They just showed up here. Worth buying or pass?

Who are you?

I'm the guy drinking bourbon and stout. Listening to rap.

Pass. Almost certainly bottles from their old brewer and those are some of the worst beers I've ever had.

Just because you can make something doesn't mean you should.

Had the same thought today when I picked up this...

I am throwing them in the way over priced and we get better shelf beer catergory

I did not hate the beer i had but these days $12 bombers make me queation my purchases

Stupid adjuncts aside, what in the blue **** is Lacto doing in that beer?

Plus you get E9 distro now and they are dialed in after many years of sadness (brewpub prior to Shane taking over brewing). Way cheaper and way better IMO.

It's their explorers club. So it's probably going to be a lot of off the wall beers. I'll report back

Revelation Cat in Italy shut down in 2014, right? Because I can't find any source confirming that they closed down, but all available evidence suggests that the owner/brewer abandoned it in 2014 to move to the US and open a brewery in Denver.

Random piece of trivia I'm wondering about:

Anyone know what the largest beer festivals are in terms of attendance at one time? So specifically as far as something like GABF goes, I'm wondering about how many people are at a given session, not total attendance over all the days.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I like their beer a whole lot, but I never buy the bottles. I just drink all their stuff (including awesome IPAs that don't get packaged) at the brewery.

What's the actual difference between Intangible and Pizza Boy? Because as far as I can tell, they are exactly the same thing, and yet the same guy releases the same types of beer under both brands. And as far as I can tell, both have at least some distro within PA and both are overpriced as ****?

No difference outside of labels. The Intangible beers are brewed at Pizza Boy and are just as bad and overpriced as the Pizza Boy labeled garbage.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Didn't think Al had his hand in the intangible stuff (Terry's side project) as much as he does the Pizza Boy beers

Can I get some deets on the dontdrinkbeer post from the other day, I assume it's Doug but I'm not a cyber cicerone and don't belong to all the FB groups. JulianB you're always good for intel, need something to get this Monday going.

dontdrinkbeer runs a FB group called "Barleywine Is Life", that involves a lot of the usual online beer geek chicanery (overused memes, etc.), only centered around barleywines. One guy wrote an attention-seeking post letting everyone know he was quitting the group, that included the words "eggheaded" and "collaborative". Turns out the guy is also a beer blogger who has some really ****** blog (I don't recall the name). As one can imagine in one of these groups, this was the bat signal for members to make fun of the guy through memes, gifs, and so on. A few people obviously took it much further than the group itself and started posting stuff like "Barleywine is Life" and various memes on his blog and his personal Facebook page (which, in all his wisdom, he has publicly available, including the ability for non-friends to comment on his posts). So then he sent that ridiculous threat to DDB over the issue, which I have little doubt only served to embolden the online trolls and escalate the whole thing further.

Steven Body. His blog is "The Pour Fool".

He was surprisingly easy to locate even without this info.

I'll report back

arren update: 5/7 drainpour

Steven Body. His blog is "The Pour Fool".

That guy is a real jerk. He loves to brag, namedrop and incessantly bully people online.

He's from the Seattle metro area, so I've seen him at a couple events and he always seems super quiet and stays to himself, which is a far cry from his online persona.
