Had a Unibroue 17 (17th anniversary ale) on Satruday. Not sure if it had skunked (cork was stuck in teh bottle, had to break teh top off adn use a corkscrew, but other than that the cork was fine), but it seriously didn't taste any different from some of my less succesful batches of homebrew. I was surprised and dissapopinted.

A keg is nothing but a big can.
Whatever hits the fan will not be distributed evenly.

Considering that an 18 pack suitcase cooler full of cans fits SO much better in the basket of a golfcart that a traditional cooler for bottles, I'm TOTALLY thrilled with this trend to put more micro's in cans!

Love it. Picked up a 12 of SNPA in cans this past weekend. Cans fit so much better into an active lifestyle, boats, bikes, hikes. Originally Posted by wa-loaf

It's apparently better for the beer too, totally cuts out the light. Definitely a trend I've seen in my LBS as well the last year. Originally Posted by HD333

Seriously- those guys tend to drink cheap gunge that's been sold in cans forever, anyway. Originally Posted by severine

Broke into the 2nd to last growler of Troegs Nugget Nectar. LBS tapped the last 1/2 keg they can get this season. I'm sure you can find them in bottles still.
The nugget nectar is a really good beer. And, it is especially good to wash down a safety mtg.

My buddy owns a few restaurants and maintains a very nice and tasty beer selection in his places. So, he knows I'm a big fan of the Maine Beer Co., Zoe, which is very hard to find. But, his wholesale distributor got a few cases and he ordered one for me! Psych. I'll get it Wednesday or Thursday. Comes to about 4.25/16.6 oz. bottle. Pretty damn good, considering my LBS has it for 7.99/per.
