Mm mm weyerbacher pumpkin. That's how you really gauge if summer is over, once that hits the shelf.

Haven't even had it yet. I'm at split rock till friday, and been drinking yuengling. Now I have some real beer for tonight. If the wife and kids let up on the activities for one night, i'll bury a few.

My parents have a place near split rock and I'm up there several times a year. Small world.

I'll be at Great Wolf Lodge in Bumble**** PA for black friday. Here's hoping the one distributor in a 40 minute radius gets BCBS and nobody else gets there before me lol

I would love to have a house on lake harmony. Seems like a nice place

Anybody ever have a growler blow up at room temperature??




Got a growler for Finsfan yesterday, wrapped it in bubble wrap and sat it upright in the box I was going to ship tomorrow and just found it blown up. Infection maybe?

Here's the beer:

RIP red fuzz. It probably knew its fate and took the easy way out.

 

[wobrien]

So I called TH and after talking to the guy there, I think it's my fault. I had the growlers in my trunk all day at work, then got them filled with cold beer, then back to room temp and I bet that was the issue. They're going to replace the glass and the beer anyway though :rockin:

But I sent out a third one today via fedex. I REALLY hope that one makes it bc there are aome other good beers traveling with it that would be a Shame to lose...

Well glad they are replacing it. I think the glass should of broke if the cold beer hits the hot glass. I wouldnt say it is your fault but no harm no foul

I have a hard time believing its the temperature that made it blow. Ive had beer that has gotten cold, warm, hot and cold again that has live yeast with no ill effects. Obviously not a growler, so that could be different. I dont think theyd replace it unless they knew it was their fault either. Either way, its sure a mystery. Heres to hoping the other one survives!

 

[bigmike99]

Glad it's not the fuzz since I've got some coming tomorrow. Please say a little something for the safe arrivals.

 

[wobrien]

The box I sent out today left the pickup spot, went to the Philly hub and left the Philly hub, so it's prob ok.

Hopefully.

I'm sure yours will be fine and that beer is awesome. Had some while getting growlers filled.

Seriously. I hope nothing breaks.

I also had some and it was pretty darn good.

When were you there? I was there in the evening. I know we met before but I don't recall...

Someone did come in and fill up a bunch of growlers right next to me.

Nah I was there around 7.

My half of the IP trade with Bill - his saison, two bretted saisons and the huna clone:


Thanks! And in looking at the pic of the burst growler, it looks like the sides failed? The ones I've had break (all the 1L flip-tops) lost the bottom where they are designed to fail (instead of exploding). That could be related to the thermal swings, but I would have expected it as it was being filled, not after the beer warmed up. At least they are making good on it!

I had those same two thoughts. I'm going back this weekend and I'll tell them the same. I worried about the temp of the growlers before I got them filled and kept them in the front seat in the ac for the hour it took me to get there (I was worried about the beer foaming when getting filled, not the glass breaking).

Also, the other two growlers I had filled (aloha 'ra and hophands) went through the same temp issues and are fine...

Oh well, they are good folks there, I just hope no one else has this issue. Luckily the growler was already wrapped in bubble wrap, exploding glass can be dangerous.

not really a trade, but I got my second allocation from Crooked Stave Cellar Reserve yesterday. One hell of a trustee who has the beer on my porch 3 business days after the release!!!

I hate you. Is that the leopold brothers nightmare on brett?
