Can beer skunk like almost instantly? I’ve been drinking from a keg of a low-haze NEIPA. Tastes good inside. The other day it was nice and sunny so we had a few glasses outside. Within a few minutes we both noticed a slight skunkiness that wasn’t there. Same with the second glasses also drank outside in full sun. I checked the date on the keg and it’s only a month old. I poured a fresh beer just now and it tastes fine. Is it possible to get lightstruck within minutes? It’s not like we let them sit for a half hour either, pints were drunk within 15 minutes.

Got married 5 years ago today. While getting ready, I opened my last OG Rare. So tonight seems an appropriate time to open my last bottle of FauxG Rare. This is pretty amazing. Vanilla all through the nose and booming in the mouth. Surprisingly, there's a lot of caramel and subdued chocolate. Barrel lingers. The booze vapors just hang in your mouth. There's a cola thing going on, which might be the only real flaw. Great beer, not worth the cost (and no, this has never been close to the first version), but a nice thing to open up for a special occasion.

Mostly things like PAs, IPAs, pilsners. https://beerandbrewing.com/dictionary/l9v9PEb7Gl/ as the article says, there are some big, malty beers that gain complexity from oxidation, but it is otherwise a major flaw. also, hop oils are extremely volatile, so flavor and aroma in hop-forward beers will decline rapidly if they are stored warm. if you buy a four-pack of some heavily dry-hopped hazy IPA, store them warm, and drink one every few weeks, you'll notice a huge difference

danbanana posted:https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/change-is-brewing-could-the-future-of-american-craft-beer-be-canned Alcohol distribution in many parts of the US is going through fundamental changes as it is, and many of these will (hopefully) be permanent. There are a lot of major cities that are allowing bars and restaurants to sell to-go packages, since on-prem sales are effectively dead. And this isn't just beer and wine - some of the more notable cocktail bars around the country are putting together packages where you're basically paying on-premise prices for the ability to take liquor, liqueur, mixers, etc. home. It's not a good deal financially compared to going to a liquor store and grocery store, but it's keeping a lot of places alive at the moment until things can hopefully reopen safely. This is unlikely to be the end of the 3-tier distribution system, but if even some of these changes stick it could allow every brewery to operate in a manner similar to a winery of a given size (i.e. as you scale, you transition your focus to regional and national distribution vs. local and on prem). That would be a good thing for basically everyone that isn't AB InBev or your local distributor(s).

https://www.thedailybeast.com/coronavirus-could-kill-craft-beer-will-any-brands-survivequote:So how many breweries will we lose? The Brewers Association recently surveyed its members and came up with an estimate that 3,600 of the nearly 8,000 breweries in America may go out of business. (The Association itself just laid off a quarter of its employees, which is itself a terrible sign.) When I think about how many of these businesses are small, less than four years old, and largely dependent on draft, on-premise sales, without even a kitchen for a takeout food business, I wonder if 3,600 might not be a low number.

air- posted:https://www.thedailybeast.com/coronavirus-could-kill-craft-beer-will-any-brands-survive In Minnesota they did a survey and approx 36% of breweries said they'd be out of business in 3 months and another 40% would be out of business another 3 months after that if nothing changes. However MN has an archaic law where breweries can't sell 4/6 packs out of the taproom which is def gonna speed up the process. They're trying to change that but...we'll see.

Beer during COVID has been awesome - local releases with curbside pick-up and even delivery. Now you can even order directly only from places like Side Project and Hill Farmstead - earlier today I scored a Framboise du Fermier b3

Beyond the convenience of a bunch of beer showing up to my door with minimal effort, if they need to raise the prices on the beer or delivery to cover the bills... okay? Go ahead and do it, I get that times are tough, and I'd rather pay more for my beer than have a brewery I like go out of business.

The best thing about it is it's so fruity and smooth you can barely taste the alcohol. It's dangerously drinkable. Salt are a fairly new brewery, less than 2 years old I believe. We've got lots of microbreweries in the UK now putting out some fantastic stuff, Vocation, Northern and Magic Rock are all up there too.
