Random Beer Thoughts

I'm realizing that I just don't like AWAs.

Beer shouldn't be a chore to drink.

A brewery north of Pittsburgh called Koehler Brewing Company put up some pictures that some members in various Pittsburgh beer groups found to be racially insensitive. People sent them messages asking to take it down, to which the brewery pretty much replied "lol, go **** yourselves snowflakes" and spewed some vulgar insults to a bunch of people. Talking smack to the public usually doesn't fly too well, and as more people caught wind of this, the numbers of pissed off people grew. This was the response the owner's wife or whomever she is sent to a moderator one of the beer groups. I'm surprised that she didn't say that members' phone lines were being tapped. Reviewing the place is now disabled as well.

I stopped buying anything that tastes like a sour patch kids.

I think they are fine to drink in a group setting of a few ounces but a whole bottle is tough.

Got an email for a shipment rate change on an 8 shipper from OR to NY which is generally 40 bucks give or take. Rate change was to 67.97 so naturally being pretty surprised, I called. They re-rated it and refunded me 24.99 and said sorry. Wonder how many times they've done that.

Also worth noting is now they add 4.00 per item I ship because I am in an "extended service area" wtf? **** off FedEx.

****** if I know, buddy said "I am sending you some beer, shoot me a label" and that's what showed. I have now seen 1,2,3,6,8,9 and 12 bottle shippers.

Sweet jeebus - glad I stopped trading 6-7 years ago.

if you're going to be (potentially) offensive at least make it funny

The exact reason why I stopped trading. I had one month where my "beer budget" was blown just from packing supplies and shipping charges, not including anything actually spent on beer, and realized it was not a sustainable hobby.

I'm pretty anti hazeboii, but Double Dry Hopped Fort Point is a solid beer.

Blasphemy!

Scaled Up kind of sucks though.

This is Trillium's best beer IMO, and one I really enjoy drinking. It has little-to-none of the "burn" that sometimes gets associated with these beers. I've drank a 4-pack in one sitting without issue.

Has the Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA this evening at a local spot, and I have to say it is probably the best Stone hop forward beer I've had in 3+ years.

Still wasn't as good as the 2nd Shift Little Big Hop Session IPA I had after it though which is kind of sad.

While I didn't love this beer (to be fair it was purchased along with a 4 pack of Fader Pils from Half Acre), I found this to be quite entertaining.

I’ll still normally reach for Pivo, but FSW Lager and Founders Gold are both perfect for crushing on a hot day.

I cant wait to trythis when it finally arrives here 2 months after release.

I'm just going to assume that these places trash all of their tap lines and replace them after the keg runs dry. No way you can get the lines even remotely clean after running diarrhea through them.

This is an example where I really have no clue how breweries manage to get the beer to look so gross and ******. I've added a lot of crap to homebrews without ever having them look like turbid mash wort. Like, I did a berliner that ended up with 25lbs of fruit in a 5 gallon batch, including 10 directly in the serving keg, and it was way less opaque than that.

I've had decanted yeast starters that were clearer than that mess. That beer looks like something that someone would have dared you $5 to drink in the high school lunchroom.

That looks and sounds ******* disgusting. Looks like the yeast I pull out of the conical.

It's one of the best haze beers out there.

Good thing that isn't beer.
