Random Beer Thoughts

[Lutter]

Thank you all for answering the question of who the hell is buying Clown Shoes beer.

Sounds to me like they should just move down here like Brash did.

Saw this posted in the replies to a Westbrook post about Maple Bourbon and Double Barrel Biscotti Cake Break:

"Never tried one of these before, what can I expect? Sweet? Bitter? Dry? Sour? Before I spend $50 on a bottle I'd like to have somewhat of a clue. Thx"

Doesn't even have a remote clue what the beer is, would still consider dropping $50 on a bottle.

Biscotti Cake Break was disgusting. Ain't no fixing that beer by putting it into a barrel (or two)

There was a lot of batch variation. They had one on draft last year during the BA Cake release that was an awesome coffee bomb. I haven't had all of the bottled batches, but at least one of them I recall being a mess.

Hmmm, $50 on a bottle of pastrystout....or $50 for a bottle of really ******* good whiskey/rye? Hard question.







I ******* hate beer. /tikk

The problem isn't beer, it's people. People are ********. Lets never forget that.

I quit buying expensive beer that has to be consumed once opened. Biggest waste of $$. $20 is my Max.

 

[Gonzoillini1]

I like cheap beer. I like expensive beer. I like brewery only release beer. I like shelf beer.

I like beer.

Agreed. This is why I actually applauded when FSW bottles went down to 16oz bottles. Yeah it's more per ounce, but I'm also a ******* dad that doesn't enjoy doming bombers of faux-barleywine on a weekday.

Even with beers I love, I'd be much happier if everything moved into small format cans and bottles - 12 oz or less. The only advantage for large format bottles is that it makes sharing them with larger groups more practical. But I imagine most of us aren't going to bottle shares nearly as often as we're cracking open a beer at home in the evening.

They’re 12. I could use them as 6s.

****, I first wrote that and then swtiched it. Drinking myself silly now after that Game 7.

And yes - one of the best things in recent memory was High Westified in sixers.

Ever been to Bavaria? A liter of beer all to yourself is ******* awesome!

I have not. But a crowler is effectively the same, and any time I've soloed a crowler I've wished I could've had said beer in a smaller format.

Isn't that the point of opening it? Consuming it? That's why I open a beer.

With a good bourbon for the same cost you can enjoy it for years. That whales bro barrel aged stout for $50? Gone in a few hours.

To each their own.

Very true.
So far I've only had the spicy nacho variant and it was actually pretty good from the tap. Same place is putting on the chocolate and the coffee variant shortly. But yea the bottles I've had are pretty mediocre.

Might I suggest

Picked this up after someone posted it in Lambic Lovers on FB. I like it. Holds 72 bottles, it’s sturdy. I am however going to dot the joints with Gorilla wood glue before I load it up cause I’m OCD like that.

Fixed that for accuracy.

A good specific example is the Cantillon stuff (see the lambic thread), but basically all shitlord behavior has been taken up to 11 and so many peoples' jimmies are in a peak state of rustle.

Absolutely will not read.

People will eventually realize that rare beer is a colossal waste of time and money.

How long have wine collectors been a thing?

No idea, but it sounds equally dumb.

Some shitlord was complaining on Oskar Blue's FB post about BA ten fidy and how it won't see national distro. Wanted to bang my head on the wall. Someone then proceeded to enlighten Mr snowflake about how BA ten fidy will see national distro but Java ten fidy is brewery only, and then he proceeds to complain about how Java ten fidy is brewery release only. What does he expect, to have Oskar Blues hand deliver him his precious beer?
