Did you try the hop extract ***** Wagon?
Yeeeeeeeep, all aboard!
A nice in person trade with a guy from Portland. He was as hipster neck beardish as they come. He put Austin hipsters to shame.
That balancing act would scare the heck out of me.
I like living on the edge.
My cellar fridge is getting full though so I need to consolidate to eliminate these situations.

Drinking Todd the Axe Man while eating pizza and watching the Royal Rumble... How am I married?
I haven't drank this in probably 5 or 6 years. Don't know if I just didn't know any better or if the beer has changed since then but I probably wouldn't buy this again, especially @ 18 bucks a six pack.

I've had 3 or 4 different types of this style of stopper, and every one has broken after just a few uses.. Maybe bad luck, I don't know.NColoradoAG said:jayelbee said:
Good Golly is really really good. Worth the wait.
Is there any way to keep a large format bottle fresh for the next day? I don't crush a 22oz bomber or 750mL bottle like I used to, and it would be nice if there were a way to keep the last half pretty fresh for 12-18 hours. I've mashed the cap and forced it back on before, but wasn't sure if there was another cheap way. A foodsaver attachment maybe?
Get some of these. If you put the stopper in right after your pour you'll get 3-5 days of carb.
Jayelbee, get these

Any beer judging I've ever been to, this is what they use. They can't break. I use them, and have had the second half of beer sit for days, if not a week or more, and it holds carb. How long it sits is inconsequential. What matters is the amount of head space left after first pour. The more head space you leave (more beer poured equals more head space) the less carb you have for second pour. You could even cap a second time and still have carb, again, depending on head space and carb level of original beer.
I find if I pour a bit less than half for first pour (like 10oz of a 22oz or 750ml), then cap (I always cap right away after first pour), the second pour is still perfectly carbed. If first pour is a bit more than half, that's about the cutoff to where second pour is not very carbed, because there's too much head space for remaining carb in beer to escape to.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Ouchea.
I've had the same 4 stoppers for 5 years. No problems. You should be more gentle when handling your plugs.62strat said:I've had 3 or 4 different types of this style of stopper, and every one has broken after just a few uses.. Maybe bad luck, I don't know.NColoradoAG said:jayelbee said:

Seems most of the ones I went through were plastic-y.. I'd put it in, push down the lever, and it just breaks off. Your pictures looks to be a stronger material.. but I'm sure cost a bit more.
For about $.50, I've had those little push stoppers for years. I don't think I could break it if I tried. Very low profile too.

Awkward...
Anybody have any Orlando recs? I have an afternoon free tomorrow and would love to sit down somewhere and enjoy a good flight of something local, but I've never heard of anything from the area.
Eskimo Hut in College Station just got in Jester King's Super Ultramega Hyperforce. Never heard of it before and the JK blog doesn't give much info. Comes in a 1.5L bottle. Sounds interesting.

I tried some out at the brewery when they released it. Thought it was good. My brother got a 1.5L bottle...cool to have and fun conversation IMO.
Sometimes you just have to go back to the basics
Has this thread discussed the fake craft beer that Walmart is selling? I can't remember if I saw it on here or on Facebook.
I do not think so
Must have been known Facebook.
Here's an article about it. https://consumerist.com/2017/01/27/walmart-is-selling-its-own-craft-beer-not-that-youd-know-it/

This stuff is really really good glad I picked some up
Was not a fan. Just tasted like all the other stouts they have. Thought it would be better.

From article:
"You might not have noticed, however, as nowhere on the packaging is there any indication that Walmart is behind the cheaply priced brews."
How can they not know that the low price is the dead giveaway? When I see a 6 pack for less than about $6 or $7 (not on sale), I know it's not some local brewery.
If Walmart priced this at $10 with the others, not only would they fool way more people, but they'd make a butt load more money doing it.
It's like they figured every detail out.. until the last one. They got the packaging, the style, the beer name, brewery name, the look.. then they f-ed it up by pricing it at $5.
Opened up one of these last night, purchased in Jan 2014. Man it was good. So complex and smooth. I assumed about 7-8%, looked it up (wasn't on the bottle) and it was 12%!
I read a similar study about yellow tail years ago. Apparently the winery was trying to come into the market as a cheap cheap wine years ago. Some marketing guy convinced them to raise their price from $5:bottle to $9/bottle and their sales tripled or somesuch.
That's a hell of a pour. You take the whole 750?
Did you find something? contact me if notLa Fours said:Dang, I'm looking for a place to rent for spring break, any time from March 11-18, looking for 3 to 4 nights. If you know of anything available that is similar size to this condo, let me know.62strat said:
Off topic, but there's such great traffic on here, so here goes: (Crossposted on a few other forums)
I have a condo available for rent in Breckenridge, a ski in/ski out suite (sleeps 4). It's during ski season and a very good price. Dates are Sun April 16 - Thurs April 20..

Slightly related to beer since you will no doubt be drinking good beer if you come

For those of you who may not want to open 4 bottles for a BBH variant side-by-side, this is the barrel tap list at the pub right now. I'm going to go by after work tonight to compare BBH to Good Golly.
The GGMM was great. Nice recommendation!
Alright! Texas (Karbach) has earned another worthy acronym... I am not a big stout lover but I really enjoyed GGMM !! I plan to lay up a few bottles for on down the road.
I wasn't a stout fan until I discovered BBA stouts. Kick myself in the ass cause BCBS used to sit in the shelves in Minot ND for months in the 2008-2010 time frame.
We found a place to stay at Monarch. But thanks.
