This makes me want to run out and buy a $30 Cascade on general principle. I will explain this to my wife by analogizing it to how much money she claims to have saved when she spends $250 at Hobby Lobby because it was all 30% off.

A little less than $500. That site is pretty cool to gauge rarity/hype of a beer.

There is no good reason why that secondary market money shouldn't be going to the brewery.. instead it's going to some no body.
quote:I would agree too, with what limited knowledge I have. Only homebrewed for about 3- 4years, and it was a while back. I still brew with my uncle from time to time; he's done it for 20 years and is very heavily involved in the science of it, maybe I'll bring it up and see what he thinks.quote:I think this a good conversation because I can learn something here about brewing. I have always thought that oxidation will not change color but create off-flavors (I think cardboard and bubble gum are two). I also thought that yeast in fresh beer make the beer cloudy and do not change color. If I am right, then color changes should be from Malt build and caramelization from the boil. Agree, Disagree?quote:Ahh I must have missed your post.. so yeast alone can have that big of an effect on color? Or is just haze/clarity playing tricks on our eyes and making them look different colors? I would swear those darker ones had a different malt bill... But I have zero experience with propagating yeasts and its affect on color.quote:quote:Is weldwerks having quality control issues? I'm in a FB beer group, and these 3 pics are within the last week.
Gettin juicy tonight... Good stuff!
I addressed the haze in an earlier post. Neil has also posted in all those facebook posts on CLTCB. Basically we're on our 5th batch and the yeast we have been propagating each batch has come from the bottom of the tank, so the more flocculating yeast. Thus it is not as hazy as previous batches. The beer is exactly the same in taste and aroma, different in mouthfeel and appearance. We pitched new fresh yeast for the new batch and are trying to figure out how to top crop the yeast to avoid fluctuations in appearance in future batches.
Edit.. oh I see Neil's reply on one of those (the crowler) saying it doesn't look right.. he's guessing oxidation from crowler is what caused the color change.

Basically this. I traded for these but everyone that has a bottle knows exactly how much it's worth and isn't letting them go for anything less.
Thanks a lot for the link.
It led me to MyBeerCollectibles.com and now my wallet hates you. I suppose it will hate you less when all the hard to get beers I ordered start arriving.

That's amazing....I've somehow resisted the urge to buy anything on that site yet.
It was just so easy to buy Heady Topper, Maine Dinner, Pliny, Toronado25 and some others. I think my credit card got frozen for too many charges to PayPal within 20 minutes.
Haha, that site could be dangerous to scratch some craving itches, but 3 bottles of fresh Pliny for $65, holy balls I think I can wait. Plus 6/27 bottle dates, they're already drain pourable
I was just telling my wife how broke we were! How am I going to justify this?!

People would raise hell, but its only because beer nerds are stupid and have an antiquated ideal that "beer is for the common man" and should be cheap.
And after everyone was done *****ing Toppling Goliath would still sell out of every $450 bottle the day it went on sale.

Still regret opening this one last year and not selling it
Homebrewed Hefeweizen "Head"shot
Haven't had one of these in a while, but couldn't resist the novelty of the can. Probably should have shot gunned it.
Ranger Creek Dry-Hopped Berliner Weisse hits the spot on a hot Friday afternoon.
Mmmm... Toppling Goliath Mornin' Delight for a sweet $1,500!

If Bmac keeps posting Assassin hauls its going to be pretty easy to shame him into bringing one to a football game.
I didn't love the Trigave. The base flavor was good, but the tequila finish didn't do it for me.
On to some Devil Dancer.
Liking this Almanac Saison de Brettville. Wish Almanac distributed to Texas, great affordable sours.

This was just regular AB. I dont think it is barrel aged.
If you want in your face barrel flavor, get Southern Charred or Double ******* in the Rye. The rest of Stone's barrel aged *******s aren't as strong.

Personally, I think I'll just buy a new TV with that money.
I went on a couple of those websites, noticed that Jester King Atrial Rubicite sells for about a hundred a bottle.

I dabble in Almanac distribution to TX.
Anything in particular you'd like to have from TX on a regular basis? I love Almanac sours.
