Oso planning to go pro
right, and that is what they intend for you to do... same with bottles.pour into a glass.
Well that doesn't really work on a train ride now does it?
I'm all for the can esp. since I pour it into a glass anyway. Off the top of my head, now Sierra Nevada, Oskar blues and Milwaukee Brewing are canning besides some UK beers that have been for a while.
Surly says that they use cans to be "green".
Does it make me a bitch if I like Summer Shandy? Also, anyone make their own shandy, rather than buying it?
Other breweries that are doing cans include: New Belgium (Shift is solid), Sulry (Furious and Coffee Bender are both tastey), Half Acre, Goose, Six Point (I just had The Crisp and it was by far my favorite from them so far. Better than Resin and Bengali Tiger)...Also Revolution is about to launch it's production brewery in cans as well. The nice thing about cans is they way more stable than bottles in the completely protect from light damage. They are also nice as you can bring them to beaches and places where glass often isn't allowed. And if you're drinking a craft beer you should always try and pour it into a glass since so much of the flavor is from the aroma.
A shot in the dark but does anyone have good information on what will become of the Bomb Shelter?I wonder how that would be handled whether they try and keep it in the family; look for new owner; or even look to sell off stock to us nerds.
They cleaned out the place, which will become another bar I guess. The landlord has been awful to deal with during this process, including trying to steal and sell off some of the memorabilia in there after the owner died.At this point, I have heard the former manager and a few other people are looking for a new location. Nothing imminent, though. Gotta say, it was sad driving by there last week and seeing the place boarded up, and the signs no longer there.
Thanks, man. I kind of figured it would be a torch job whether by a new owner or the landlord.Really, really sucks for Milwaukee to lose that place.
OK. Summer brews... I'm an Oberon fan, and I actually like the Lakefront Wheat Monkey. I believe we had this going last summer as well, but there is always a chance for a new brew, or changes to an old brew.Fade to Black by Lefthand is again amazing.... on tap at Uncle Mike's on Highway 94 in Kenosha.
New Glarus Dancing Man is a great summer beer. It's pretty big for a wheat beer coming in over 7% ABV.
Summer specific beers I like:NG Dancing ManFuthermore FattyboomblattyGoose SummertimeI also drink may more citrus hop beers in the summer like Gumball Head, Zombie Dust, Racer 5.....Also this year Red Streak by Virtue Cider has been a solid choice.
To Our Valued Fans:After much scrutiny and tastings, we are announcing a voluntary recall of the 2012 batches of Peruvian Morning. The beer has begun to take on a distinct off flavor that is not our intention, and as we stand behind the quality of our beer, we are offering our customers the opportunity to exchange the product they feel is bad for something else.We would like to clarify that this beer will not hurt you by drinking it, but the flavor profile is undesirable for the style. The nature of our barrel aging program, specifically Peruvian Morning, carries many variables, and a certain level of risk. We have implemented, and will continue to implement strategies to keep this from happening again.We at Central Waters care very deeply about the quality of our beers, and as a small company every customer is important to us. As such, if you have Peruvian Morning that you feel has gone bad and would like an exchange, please send an email to peruvian@centralwaters.com and we will be in touch with you on a case by case basis.Again, we apologize for the problem, it is unfortunately a nature of this business sometimes, we intend to make it right by everyone.Thank you for your support, now and in the future.Sincerely,Central Waters Brewing Company
Boulevard issued a very similar one for their Chocolate Ale. Wonder if there's a connection, or common ingredient at all.http://www.boulevard.com/beers/chocolate-ale-refund-announcement/
