$9.50 for a sixer of trash light adjunct lager in a fucking clear bottle? it’s so stupid they probably won’t be able to brew it fast enough.

[Okie State 3788]

Should be about tree fiddy a sixer.

are they going to have the word games underneath the bottle caps again?  if so, i'm in for a sixer.

[Hank_Hill 18486]

Think Lonestar still does that? Haven’t bought a bottle from them in awhile though

Well Pabst has owned Pearl since 1985 and Lone Star since 1999 so... yeah, probably.

With all the new/seasonal/limited releases out these days I realize it’s been a long time since I last had this classic. I need to work this back into the normal purchase rotation.

Bought a case at the beginning of shelter in place and downed it in a couple days. Always hits the spot.

That's a lot for me considering I don't strive to be a great big fat person.

Friday afternoon beer run. Stay hydrated this weekend, boys.

I’m always a fan of Firestone Walker’s Luponic Distortion series. #16 was just released. Nice and crisp and light but also hoppy/fruity. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Enjoy the holiday fuckers

HAZY ipas

[mdleast 8259]

I hope y’all are adjusting to the “new normal”. You know...where it’s not just enough to have your pint glass somehow tie into the beer you’re drinking. You need something more these days.

[hacker 184]

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

Wooooah.   That's cool.  What is that 1.5 gallon?  Refillable?

[drt 637]

Ya that seems pretty awesome. It’d be nice to not have to kill a tallboy to have a nice local hazy ipa

This.

 

I'm always left asking, "but why" on some of these...

It was $50 and I got around 10 pints out if it.  No refills so I'm not quite sure what to do with it.  May call them to see.

so did anyone visit a taproom that reopened this weekend? mine opted to stick with to-go only but our sales were definitely down. curious what the scenes were like at open joints.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Very good question. It was blue at the bottom of the can. Good flavor if you like sours. If you do not, then pass. Lucky for me, I like sours. I got a good haul yesterday, so I'll start trying those out this week.

Yup.  I went to Whitestone Brewery yesterday.  The tables both inside and out in the biergarten were all separated out to proper social distancing, and were limited to 6 people max per table.  There were four of us, my wife and me, and my bother and his wife.  Servers were wearing masks, and I wore one every time I went up to the bar to order a drink.  For obvious reasons, patrons at their tables were not wearing masks.

It was low-key, but that place usually is anyway.  It felt good to be out and about.  This is the first public place I've been to aside from the grocery store, since this all started.  I haven't been to any restaurants yet, but figured I'd break my quarantine with a brewery.

Hope your business picks up, pdb.  Good luck!
