codo27 posted:They had goose island beer at a restaurant here we went to earlier this year and it was the most foul brew I've ever tasted. Irredeemable They managed to keep making well regarded high end stuff even after getting bought by InBev 10 years ago so I’ll give them that. I wouldn’t order any of their “regular” beers if it was on a tap list though.

I still wouldn’t go on a busy day. We went on Columbus Day and both draft lines were 20+ minute waits and two drink maximum. Wednesdays and Thursdays are chill.

That’s a shame. New Belgium always has fond memories for me because they had no distribution in New England until they opened the Asheville brewery in 2016. So it was a big deal when we finally got the famous Fat Tire.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:Athletic Light is 25 cals and not bad at all. Athletic has always been pretty corporate in my experience. They raised a lot of investor money on “craft beer + non-alcoholic + shippable.”

It was funny in Amsterdam going to a craft beer bar that was 75% American stuff, and only big breweries of course. (We only went there because another bar had a challenge where if you went to the three other bars they owned and had a beer at each in one day, you got a free tshirt.)

Long long ago I was in Chicago and ordered a “three-twelve” and they gave me a look.

We are the “beer folk” in our circle of friends so get a lot of beer themed gifts for Christmas / birthdays. I swear, every attempt to make a dessert / candy with beer just makes the dessert worse, or at best is unnoticeable. We had some fancy beer caramels las tonight and they just tasted like caramels with a bitter aftertaste. Also, not a gift, but beer ice creams tend to have the same problem. Just nasty bitterness.

https://www.caiusfarmbrewery.com/our-storyquote:Our founder, head brewer, and owner, Caius Mergy, found his love for beer during his final year at Middlebury College in Vermont, where he studied Classics (Greek and Latin language). Tell me your parents built you a brewery without telling me your parents built you a brewery.

Oh yeah, those Roman character drawings for each beer did not work for me at all. I feel kind of bad because Greek/Roman aesthetic could be cool but just feels like a cheesy Italian restaurant. Also the fact that they built a brewery on land that used to be a farm doesn’t make it a farm brewery.

We went to San Diego in 2017. Time flies. The Stone Brewing World Bistro is very large and impressive and had good food. Lots of $$$ spent there.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Ok, well that escalated quickly. Slice is suing Shred for allegedly erasing 150 recipes from the computer before he left, having a name too similar to Slice, and I guess taking 40 cans of beer that were earmarked for a beer contest? Is this a case where the brewmaster left the business guy? Those always get super nasty.

Lol yeah what’s the point of a kegerator? If you really love one particular beer that you can get in mini kegs? Otherwise reminds me of the growler problem where it’s a way to take four pint of a draft beer home but then you have to drink four more pints of that beer.

Small breweries that are only open Fri/Sat/Sun aren’t reallyviable businesses right? They only work because the owners work all their spare time and the costs are low. Idle thoughts as I sit at a five year old brewery that has three customers on Friday at 6 PM on a long weekend.

Craft cocktails exist so that places without a real bar or bartender can have more options. I can’t imagine them ever being more than that.

No flights, fine, probably giving up free money there but your choice. No samples, I don’t understand, is washing glasses that hard? I guess Treehouse and similar places don’t do samples but those are just lines for beer, not bars.

One of our local bars does half pours of anything for half price which I always appreciated. Another does short pours for some beers for half price plus $1 which is more confusing and seems like a lot of work to manage on their menu.

Ignoring any tipping discussion because I’ve been on the internet too long… I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about any random policies from a small business owner like a brewery. They can be completely arbitrary just because they got annoyed at one person one day.

Reminds me of the mug clubs that give you 20 oz for the price of 16 oz. I do not want 20 oz pours out of a ceramic mug.

It’s a sad visual putting a 12 oz bottle of Festbier into a 0.5L mug. A little bit over half full on this one given where the measuring line is.

Guiness 0 and Corona NA (with a lime) are the ones I would be fooled with. All the IPAs, no matter how good, just are obviously different from real beer. The Hoplark 0.0 Hop Sour is also weird enough that someone would think it was just an odd sour. 0 calories too.

atothesquiz posted:Comparing it to local places like Otherhalf and Mortalis, it's laughable that their BA beers are like $28+ for 16oz of sugar liquid and lactose that dont taste nearly as good, clean, or full as Laganitas at $0.18 an ounce versus ~$1.50 an ounce. Go gently caress themselves. Worst part is they you have to buy those blind and hope you didn’t waste your money on something that is a one-off. Or buy two bottles and really hope it’s good.
