Gary from Deschutes acknowledged the issue about Abyss and made a statement.

Basically said that himself along with a critical panel of taste testors sampled bottles that were kept at 45 degrees since release (which is most likely too cold for this type of infection to run rampid) and that all of them collectively aggreed that the beer showed no signs or off flavors thatbwoild warrent a mass recall.

He also states that they purchased bottles at a local store that were kept at a constant 70+ degrees for the past 7 months and they all agreed that it tasted more acidic. He said they would buy back all bottles that any individual was unhappy with and samples have been sent for chemical analysis. More details to come.

Fuck I want Evans job in these sort of cases

so i can open it and then be unhappy or i have to sell it back before opening?

moved back home already

and Jackie O's is clearly very good tbh

i couldnt remember if you lived there or school was there

both up until a week ago, just saying i would be winning on that deal

sounds like he would have been ok with it

yea but clearly even sure they have started to bottle or at least with any consistency

@ Joe

please don't ship any beer until July if you were planning on shipping anytime soon. Considering the time it takes to get here I will be out of the country until after the 4th

where are you going?

While I'm away with no access to phone or Internet I expect you two to keep this toilet alive. I'm counting on ya

weather permitting im going to pelican brewery saturday, buy some tsunami from the source

on the menu tonight

looks amazing

i wish my job entailed getting beer samples for testing. i probably would accidentally lose some of them tho

Troegs recently had an opening for a chemist and a major part of the job description was for quality control and taste testing.

fuck why didnt you say something, i would have applied

joe...



there is a rumor going around that Deschutes is clearly releasing the black butte XXII until next year because this years was flat and tasted like root beer


please for the love of god let this be a sick joke with the abyss infection issue floating around

too bad i need a phd to make the money worth the bitch job of being a chemist.

but maybe it wouldnt be a bitch job at troegs

well, look at it this way
last year, released june
this year, june is nearing an end and no word from them at all

found a bottle of that, was shocked to see it tbh

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/68/24071
4 pack of that too, no idea but local place got some new stock and first flying dog ive seen

heavy seas "below decks" bourbon aged english barlywine

definitely a huge contrast from weyerbacher insanity (the only barlywine ive tried)

nonetheless super delic

great beer, i can send you some if you really like it and you cant get more

im a huge faggot

I really like flying dog other than raging bitch

was ok but didnt really care fir it. actually it seems to be more of the style. proal wont buy more black ipas or w/e you wanna call it.

i liked gonzo. it was a bit more hoppy and a bit less porter-like than i expected, but it worked for me.

I will see if I can snag a bottle of flying dog to throw in for ya, any preference?

Also gotta find the dam box (semi lost in moving)

ps do you remember how much shipping was so i can gauge for when i send

i shipped with work discount, proal about 40% regular price. i cant remember actual cost, but maybe 20-25?
is the coffee stout easy to get?

i didnt even see it listed on their website

didnt think so, but figured id ask
horn dog? would love some barley wine ofc

@ gary:

gonzo 4 pack says 7.8, the bottle says 9.5
also, yeti is 9.8

picked up a bottle of full sail 09 barleywine for bout 2.16 because the supermarket didnt know how much to charge
