Random Beer Thoughts

[wuntrikpony]

yeah not surprised. i was just curious what exactly made the peeps addition any different than any other dumb beer that uses marshmallows

Artificial flavor variants?

I like regular 3F Geuze considerably better than the Armand & Gaston blend.

Part of what seems especially dumb about this is they are going into the boil. I'd assume usually when a brewery uses marshmallows (and some beers have extracted that flavor successfully) it would be in secondary shortly before packaging.

You act like they care about how these additions affect the taste of the beer. They just want Instagram fuel.

I prefer A&G fresh and they cross over at about a year. Both are stellar, so we’re all winners right?

 

[2plums4one]

No. Absolutely not. Just **** the hell off already.

(This is from "The Collective Brewing Project", whatever the hell that is.)

I will say that the angry chair concept beer was actually not bad. Using actual peeps though. That's some barrel culture ****.

I think I agree but I've only had A&G once.

I think I agree but I've only had A&G once.

To me it’s a bit more in the Cantillon sour realm, where I love the mineral/funk/effervescence of regular 3F better.

Did you read the text?

Up until the hashtags, yes. I don't tend to read those, because they're usually of no worth.

Local (to me) Fort Worth brewery probably best known for their stupid ramen noodle beer. They make a fantastic rye porter but the rest of their beers need a lot of work. They should spend less time trying to do this garbage and more time crafting a smaller range of better beers.

This was batch 2, first attempt was 2013.

Obligatory Beerontwowheels shot:

I'm melting...

I've found marshmellows won't always settle out and can make the beer cloudy. I'd suggest extreme cold crashing or using gelatin/super clear.

I am not a fan of their beers. I remember getting a 10oz pour of their apricot sour in Dallas and getting my $17 tab back and have never forgotten that.

I'm sure this is fueled by all of the novelty buys from their ramen berliner.

What the **** does bin mean?

Buy It Now


I hate that I know that.

 

[jivex5k1]

Buy It Now


I hate that I know that.

Weird I figured it had something to do with Binnys which I think was an infamous bottle shop or something.

So why does an abbreviation for buy it now have such a negative connotation?

because it often used in the shitlord raffle world.

man TBBW is the gift that keeps on giving. Tampa Craigslist is LIT. And it’s only Wednesday!

My favorite story so far I think is the one about a mule getting offered more money by someone after he got his bottle, sold it to that guy for more, and then went back to his original “employer” and told him that he went to the bathroom and missed his place in line, so couldn’t get the bottle. RUTHLESS.

Man that takes me back to my stock broker days... I learned more about rebuttals than the market itself.

"I respect that, but you know what? If I get you a case of Sunday at 25 a bottle and two weeks later get out at 60 I know we are going to do more business together. Don't let this one pass you by John, go with a case."

This is insane. I've been reading the posts where people are fighting over mules and outbidding, but I figured there was some embellishment involved. Does this (posting for mules) happen in other places? Maybe I'm naive but I feel like it doesn't happen around California.

I don't think it happens in Seattle. At least I hope not.

We've got some idiots, but nothing even remotely like this.

What's the worst you've seen in Seattle so far? I've only been to 2 beer releases since I've been here and they seemed quite chill, but then I did roll up after doors had opened (at HM in both cases).

Mostly assholish behavior, public drunkeness and line cutting. Nothing too bad.

Oh, and our resident sex offender who got himself banned from de Garde. But it's pretty easy to ignore him.

I was gonna say, isn't that ground zero for raffles out there?
