I don't reckon I'd have a reason to lie about something like that.

For those who don't use BA, Jacob posted an explanation earlier today of why they're removing Oneida from the rotation:

The story of Oneida has been the story of inconsistent hop quality from Germany. When we formulated the beer, the Hallertau Blanc we had was outstanding: super fruity with a very Nelson-like white grape quality. So we made a beer that put Hallertau Blanc front and center (as did a bunch of other breweries, many of whom also formulated beers with the then promising Mandarina Bavaria.) In subsequent years, these new German hop varieties have shown up in the U.S. tasting and smelling much more herbal and much less fruity, and we've had to change other things about the recipe to try to compensate for the inconsistency of Hallertau Blanc. It's been frustrating, to say the least.

The bottom line is that after two years of poor quality, we no longer feel like we can trust Hallertau Blanc to show up as advertised, so we're formulating an entirely new beer with different hops. We'll be announcing details on social tonight. I think you all will dig the direction we're taking.

Cheers & thanks,
Jacob McKean

Same expression I had every time I drank a can this year. As Xul alluded to with the post from Jacob, this year’s Oneida sucked. That said, I’m drinking as much city of the sun as I can for the next couple months.

And ponto, because let’s be real, creature of habit.

I agree with this years Oneida. Loved it so much in previous years due to Hblancs Nelson like punch.

 

[arren]

Oh damn, that explains why the Oneida I had sucked hard. I thought I just bought old cans.

Being able to buy Coconut B-Bomb in San Diego is pretty ****** rad.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy Melvin beer.

Accumulated knowledge has been there for a while but gets no love due to being 22oz.

The end of the day cany come soon enough. Hopefully they are still around when i get off. FREMONT yessssss!

I assume on-site only, can't think of a time when someone walked out with an unopened bottle aside from really expensive brunches. That said, if you want something off their list, I'll smile really pretty and ask nicely tonight!

Hey SD folks. Have a non-beer question that I was hoping someone might be able to help out with:

My wife and I have a friend in the hospital in La Jolla and we were hoping to send her a gift basket of some kind (maybe with a bottle of wine, some snacks etc.). Does anyone happen to know of a place down there that might do something like that (and deliver it)?

This comment led to me calling around and scoring a cinnamon variant. Thanks!

San Diego Beer & Wine Co off Miramar posted they had it with a limit of 1 bottle per variant. I do believe Bottlecrafts are putting them out in a day or two.
