Random Beer Thoughts

[RedCoffee]

Can we get a Humble Harvest x Cademon collab going? How can we hook both of these guys up this summer? They have ample time off from the stresses of having an open brewery, filing the necessary paperwork, and paying the necessary fees/taxes.

Beer name is obviously: "The Art of The Deal"

I bet this is going to be really good if things like The Scribe are any indication. Especially since based on that label it looks more like it's a Side Project beer and not an Evil Twin one.

Yeah, I laughed at how bad that was going to be when I first saw. Then I started thinking about The Scribe...

So we won't get to see Jeppe bully people over ****** untapped scores?

Funny how the word "sour" just happened to appear in the second description.

So it's an accidental sour?

There's no such thing as infection mistakes. Just happy accidental sours

Isn't everything Side Project makes supposed to be sour or wild? I thought their non-sour/wild offerings were put out under the Shared brand.

 

[regularjohn]

yes please

No, everything is barrel-aged. The Derivation series of imperial stouts, Anabasis, etc. are not sour/wild.

That being said, I do think this was intentionally brewed as a sour quad, ala The Scribe (or Cuvee de Tomme, for an example from another brewery).

To the best of my knowledge (someone can correct me), Side Project has only had one infection problem on a beer they released, namely The Origin, which was their first bottled beer.

**** this hobby

**** the community.

Double barrel aged sour quad with plums. They should have stopped at 2 adjectives. This sounds absolutely terrible.

 

[Ziggy]

yes please

Yessssss

ISO ISO ISO ISO

 

[trickytunadicky]

yes please

Is it bad I would rather then just bring back their hard orange soda? First hard to find alcohol I fell in love with.

I've noticed a number of people bitching about 16 oz cans. Yaw'll have a point. Beer standard should be the 32 oz crowler.

Random thought to share. Since I stopper rating beers on BA, RB and untapped, I find that I'm enjoying them a lot more.

Rock on.

I dunno, man, the fact that they didn't say at first that it would be sour makes me really, really suspicious. That first description sounds great, the second description sounds like maybe they shouldn't be releasing it. (Though, full disclosure, haven't had The Scribe, so maybe that's what they were going for?)

The fact that it's a 17% beer but that they didn't say it was sour from the get-go just screams accidental infection. They probably thought (bruery-esque) that it was too big to develop anything.

Journalists who write about beer need to stop making lists like "10 great beers for the summer" then include stuff like tree house and hill farmstead. I don't understand who it benefits, the people who have access to that kind of stuff aren't going to be reading those lists and the general public that does won't be able to find it anywhere.

It's just clickbait to generate views....only way all these ****** websites get more ad revenue.

When I used to sell my soul to write **** like that, I would make sure to keep that in mind and list things like Sierra Nevada or Lagunitas...only to get promptly **** on from the neckbeard elite because I was presumably a filthy casual.

 

[cry me]

Let me tell you something, this right here is truth. And just about any other Polar flavor as well (**** you Green Apple).

New fangled seltzer elitists going all nutty for LaCroix... Polar is the people's champ, my friends.

Polar Cranberry-Lime and Vanilla-Orange are two of the best seltzers for sure.

I like private label (aka generic) ones.

Giant's Watermelon one is great. Aldi's lime one kicks ass.

It's nice not spending $5 on 12 cans of water.

Ain't even scared a no generics.
