Let's talk good beer

OTM - IPAs tend to lose their hop punch when they aren't fresh. The malt takes over and the hop smell isn't good. I'm guessing that it what you're smelling. Adroit Theory is kinda like our area's Wicked Weed. They are super small and really push the limits on all their beers. But since they are so small and do very limited runs, they can get pricey.

Matty - I can see that being an issue but Heady is Heady. So so good.

I believe Lagunitas should be coming from Chicago, so could be a shipping issue. Could be a storage issue. But 40 days as you said should be ok. I'm starting to become more and more of a fan of canned craft beers. Stays fresher longer for sure.

I read the Dogfish thing yesterday. They get capital for a small part of the company, which I assume that Dogfish can buy them back out at anytime. Sounds like a marketing thing more than anything else.

We're getting to a point where bigger dogs will start buying up smaller dogs and thin out the herd so to speak. Hopefully (not counting on it), the quality does not go down hill...
