T4M* Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The Fizz goes away too fast and shit taste after that. Light fucks with beer flavor apparently, not beer going from cold to warm to cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I've heard about this light effect as well. Not sure how but it's a real thing in the brewery community. Maybe enzymes die off too quickly? I have no idea Edited January 19 by Ko SprueOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUGR Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Isn’t that why Corona always taste like shit and Heineken is always skunky….? Bc of the light transfer through the clear bottles and green bottles. That’s what I have always heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I heard some beer snob guy telling me of this and why canned beer in the special cans is better, well then explain to me why any beer and I mean any tastes better on tap and poured into my growler. Feel like cans ruin the taste even the hoidy toidy pinky out fancy shmances. Not convinced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Draft beer is king. Always will be imo. My only beef with growler pours is once you crack the growler you gotta finish it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I can vouch for that, my pitchers have been tasteful. In my case, a pack of beer must come inside a sealed box besides the handles, disburse them into the bottom drawer for minimal light, when I'm ready, I pop one open, drink, 2 mins later, beer goes flat and that taste I swear to you, it went from cold to hot to cold behind your back, and we all know that taste........... my beer lately.

Everything in a bottle is green or brown. Drinking out of a can is also looked down upon. Probably doesn’t apply for the craft guys anymore. same goes for Germans too.

Idk sometimes a good IPA tastes nice and smooth after u crack and let some sit over night, little flat but still enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heineken gets its skunkieness from UV light affecting the hops they use. The uv rays break up acids resulting in what’s left to attach to sulfer proteins which produces the skunk smell; scientists have looked into the compound and it actually is set up with the structure of a skunks defense spray. The green bottle thing is iffy because brown does protect from skunking better than green. I’m pretty sure Heineken has it in their process to skunk it. I used to just drink Heineken because it was a nice beer to drink while smoking some nice buds. I wanted to start brewing small batch beer this year but I am on my journey of no alcohol now. Maybe I will and gift it, and produce a 0 alc batch for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I always pour it into a glass from which then I drink it. Unless I'm driving at the time, then it's from the can. Then I just toss it out the window and it doesn't shatter and fck up bicycle tires 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always tells me the process, main idea is to extract stuff that takes hours and somewhat special equipment, sounds easy tho. I never had homemade moonshine or beer, other people that tried it say it tastes bomb from the person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have. Beer and wine. My dad was heavy into it. He made beer, wine and had a still to make the hard stuff. It’s a lot of work. Much easier to go to the store and buy some. We both don’t drink alcohol anymore. edit* I am not trying to discourage you from trying it if you are into it. It is fun to try something you have made. I’m just not into it anymore. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media One Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 “The beer” used to be called yellow belly until some random brewery threatened legal action over its name. The original packaging used to have little eye holes cut out of the white paper too 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeesh, If I drink more then three it's rare. I've had the NA beer it definitely still has the relaxing calming effect of a beer, pretty much only reason I drink any beer is little relaxation before bed.

Media One Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Back in 1665, the local Tailor in Eyam received some cloth from London contaminated with fleas carrying the plague. The village decided to quarantine itself and got by through people leaving goods on rocks outside the main village. The coins were placed in vinegar to kill any bacteria and you can still find the holes today. Today they make imperial stouts. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media One Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Curious as to what the beavertown beers cost in the USA? Usually about £3 a can here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not too many middle men carrying beavertown in the USA. They start at $24 and up a can if you find it online, cheaper when found at a store probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
