Random Beer Thoughts

They need to bring back Shiner Smokehaus.

That **** was delicious.

God I hated that beer.

When I gave my dad one he was like "THEY BURNT THIS BATCH OF SHINER! *SPIT SPIT SPIT*"

.... ... .. so I can see where you're coming from.

I bought a 6pk of BA Ten Fidy stove pipes for $42...








Then I bought another.

I paid $12.99 for six. The gentleman at checkout just wouldn't believe me that the price was for a single can.

It took me a while to figure out what you guys were talking about with "stove pipes." Is that some regional thing? I've always called them tall boys.

The way I think about them:

"tallboy" = 16oz
"stovepipe" = 19.2oz

Stove pipes are taller than tall boys (19.2oz vs 16).

To me it tasted like liquid meat.

Imperial pint vs. pint can.

As far as regional packaging names go, if you ask for a “long neck” in Texas you’ll be handed a Lone Star bottle.

Whereas in "The Land Before Time" you'd be handed a Brontosaurus.

I don't know if this is still the case but probably is because I generally only drink at home but in PA if you ask for a "Lager" you get Yuengling Lager.

Or as their ads have said "Yuengling is Lager's first name."

A Busch or Bud heavy 24 oz can is called a "2 by 4" (like the lumber) around here. Not sure if that's regional or not.

 

[pen15clubmember]

I always thought of 16oz as "tallboys", but was informed that 16oz is actually a "pounder" and 24oz is a true "tallboy". However a 16oz can is obv taller than a 12oz and honestly it doesn't matter until someone tries to correct someone else in person at which point a ****** line has been crossed.

I used to enjoy the Labatt Blue 25.4 ounce "oil can" but have only seen Foster's in that size in a while...not that I am often seeking that out.

Does anyone make "splits" (7 oz bottle) anymore? There was a bar I frequented in college, where we usually ordered cases of OV (Old Vienna) splits. The bartender would just open the top and dump a bunch of ice over the bottles and then set the case up on the bar.

Little Kings and Corona come to mind.

I've always known them as pony bottles. A 7oz miller high life pony is the best shower beer.

I was at a beer store yesterday, and saw Haymarket cans for the first time. I was initially excited, because I'd been wanting to try their stuff, but had no interest in driving out to Bridgman for it. Then I looked at the canning date on the bottom...Feb 2018 for a pale ale. The brewery is 90 minutes away, and their first delivery involves a four month old pale ale? Absurd.

Is this the same Haymarket in Chicago? You're not missing much...

Hmmm .. I wonder if "splits" is just a regional term. When I googled "Corona splits" the top results are related to places in Buffalo.

You shouldn't be allowed to post until you change your name back.

Haymarket Bridgman is canning their offerings, same ownership / head brewer (Pete Crowley), but a different system / water supply / etc...

Certainly not my favorite spot in Chicagoland, but I can almost always find a couple of things on draft (at either location) that strike my fancy. The Defender (hop forward American Stout) has always been solid, I'm a fan of his Belgian hop forward offerings, and some of his barrel aged stuff is world class when it's on (Indignant, Clare's, etc...).

I see Rhinelander Export Shorty bottles around WI. (Growing up in SE PA, we called them Pony bottles.)

Someone is streaming from the line for Juice Machine on Twitch. Has this been a thing for a while, or is this the next evolution in shitlordery?

Without using Google and just guessing, I'd say that Juice Machine is some stupid, overhyped, adjunct filled hazy IPA and Twitch is some sort of Instagram type app.
