I'd venture that 95% of microbrew packaging is horribly ugly, you gotta get over that or you'll never drink anything. Though the Boulder Brewing Co. stuff is like the worst of the worst - I can get over stupid weed references or tie-dyed shit but not both at once.

ice cr?m, your distaste for their packaging is awesome, especially after this quote from that article:
He designs many of Dogfish’s labels and cites Andy Warhol and Coco Chanel as inspirations—“that fusion of commercialism and art."
― throwbookatface (skygreenleopard), Sunday, 28 December 2008 22:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I have printed that article out to read on a ten hour flight. I am now worried it will throw me into a fit of rage and that I should chuck it out.
― caek, Sunday, 28 December 2008 22:19 (fifteen years ago) link
hey caek--the articles does follow the dogfish guy cause hes the lol wackiest brewmaster but it does provide other opinions such as that of the guy from brooklyn breweries and honestly even tho theyre very hit and miss in the opinion of many including this poster when dogfish is on theyre on and all in all its quite well written article imo and probably will not throw you into a fit of rage unless you have very strong opinions about which beer companies deserve to be written about in the new yorker which is obviously a ridiculous thing to have an opinion about.
― eman cipation s1ocklamation (max), Sunday, 28 December 2008 22:23 (fifteen years ago) link
its funny i pretty much agreed w/the brooklyn guys pov except his beer sux and displays too the bad qualities he criticizes dogfishguy for

― ice cr?m, Monday, 29 December 2008 14:04 (fifteen years ago) link
pffftmidas touch, punkin ale, pangaea and the palo santo marron are all pretty excellent beers imo (black and blue, raison detre bleccchhhh though)brooklyn brewery is generally more so-so, nothing to write home about. Their lager recipe needs a re-tooling I think
the best beer I drank over christmas was this http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30/43903and we found some Cooper's Vintage at a new DC bottle-o and had it fedexed to TNhttp://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/491/3624/also very delicious
some other really excellent beers I had over the holidays was a tecate that had been in the fridge for who knows how long, a gennessee cream ale because nobody had seen that stuff in like years, some fordham beers and of course grolsch in the stopper bottles and tetleys in the widget cans.I need to track down this "grolsch weizen."
― El Tomboto, Monday, 29 December 2008 18:11 (fifteen years ago) link
had some of bosco's stone beer in nashville - the steinweizen was HORRID, the regular stone ale was acceptable though, steak sandwich and garlic fries mostly made up for it. blackstone's in nashville has the better beers I think, bosco's has better food.also got to try a couple of other schlenkerla biers - the rauch weizen (bleah) and the helles (boring)

oh and rodenbach flemish sour ale, the regular and the grand cru, both definitely in the does not taste/seem like a beer category
― El Tomboto, Monday, 29 December 2008 18:36 (fifteen years ago) link
the rodenbach definitely reserved for late evening drinking also just remembered I got some of this other weirdnesshttp://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/697/37837which is just weird basically - I would not recommend

http://beeradvocate.com/news/1610704^^^ Leinenkugel 1888 Bock story
this is available in the 7-11 by my office nowit's okay. BA posters gave it a B- which I think is probably about right. I suppose I should be drinking it out of a glass like a civilized person

it's not sweet like the fireside, no. I think I'm really getting a thing for these vintagey browns this winter. It's definitely best in a glass and left to sit and air for a while, big fluffy head.
― TOMBOT, Friday, 9 January 2009 07:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I just had to wonder, since they used to just sell "Bock" in the winter w/ little to no fanfare. Then it became "BIG BUTT DOPPLEBOCK" and now this.

so this red and white is really something (and at $13.49 for 750 ml it's a good thing). if you're unaware, my understanding is that it's a witbier plus pinot noir grape juice that is then barrel aged. the taste is mostly witbier but you do get the wine thing (moreso when it's cold for whatever reason) and a 10% abv that you can't taste at all. not too light, not too heavy, and really fucking delicious.

so true
I can't remember if this is the beer thread that had the "over hopped American microbrew" conversation, but on that note and the Bell's note I am drinking a "Hopslam" Ale, brewed with honey and coming in at 10% ABV. The honey balances the ridic amount of hops surprisingly well. It's still probably too much, but I kind of like it. I imagine some here would have a field day with the label:
