You see something about the TV show Survivor being filmed in "Caramoan"...

...and your first thought is that it sounds like a new crystal malt.

You have Sierra from the 90s there? Maybe it hasn't been 15 years, but it's been years since Sierra stopped using twist offs. It took me years to quit trying to twist off the pry caps when they switched.

I will admit I haven't looked closely at their bottles for a while - when I started homebrewing circa 2005 they were definitely still on twistoffs. Next time I'm at the beer store I might pick up a sixer. My brother used to give me bottles all the time and I always was annoyed by SN.

When nothing in the beer isle looks appealing and smile and walk away knowing you have the shiz-nit at home. At least that is what I do.....
