I built a dumb website that calculates exactly how many beers your buddy owes you after helping him move his couch up 4 flights of stairs. It generates an official PDF invoice. You're welcome.

i made this instead of doing anything productive with my life. you fill in what you did for your friend, how long it took, how much you suffered, and it calculates exactly how many beers they owe you. there's a "swear word index" slider. it generates a fake PDF invoice from the "High Commission of Buddy Compensation" so you can send it on whatsapp like an absolute psychopath. the whole thing is vibecoded, the css is obviously AI generated and you can smell it from a mile away, there are emojis literally everywhere because AI. its completely free i make zero money from this, i just mass it for the bit. I regret nothing. https://beer-meter.oraclemarin.fr/

Packed beer that I checked on Delta in its own bag seemingly punctured by TSA.

I packed 16 treehouse cans, five to a bag. Big Ziploc heavy duty bags. When the bag came off the carousel it was soaked with beer. When we opened it we saw that two cans had holes punctured in them through the heavy duty Ziploc bags. Is this common practice? Delta Boston to San Francisco.

What are our thoughts on beer from India? Specifically my buddy the Old Monk?

Every week I get some spicy curry and an Old Monk 10,000 Super beer. This week I wondered what the beer community thinks of this beer as well as other Indian beers like Flying Horse or Taj Mahal.

3 Fonteinen Brewery Tour

I was wondering if anyone has done the 3 Fonteinen brewery tour in Beersel, Belgium recently and what your thoughts were? I'm a big lambic fan and did the Cantillon brewery tour the last time I was in Brussels, but only have a limited amount of time (Friday evening until Sunday morning) in Brussels this time round. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, cheers! :)

Summer Beer Baseline Recommendation

It's summer, and I'm looking for a go-to recommendation. Here are the parameters:

  1. Something that tastes like beer. No grapefruit Smore's dipa shandy stuff. I love trying new things here and there, but I'm always drawn to really good examples of standard styles. I'm really just looking for a baseline beer for days in the pool and such. In this case, it feels like a good lager or pils is the way to go. Easy drinking, plenty of flavor, but nothing too unique.
  2. No macro breweries that pump out billions of gallons. I don't mind a Corona or Miller Light here and there, but drink more than two of them, and I start getting a headache and feeling gross. In fact, this request was spurred by going to the beach a few weeks ago and buying Modelo. I drank a few of those and just felt terrible. Maybe it's something in the process of pumping out so much product. It doesn't have to be a tiny craft brewery, but just someone who is paying attention to the quality of their product and process.
  3. Needs to be readily available in my area. I live near Charlotte, NC, so I need to be able to get it. Feel free to recommend things outside my area for others to try, and please specify whether they are regional.

I don't know why that feels like a tall order. I wish it weren't, but if you have any recommendations for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

I’ll add, maybe the closest example I’ve found so far is Mountain Time by New Belgium. I can get that for $14 for a 12 pack. So, it’s not an unreasonable ask. Looking for other options.

Schlitz is no more

Pabst brewing, which owns the rights to schlitz announced that they are ending production of the label.

Personal opinion here: I think the decision of discontinuation is coming from AB inbev. For those that dont know, pabst doesnt have their own brewery. They contract to another brewery and for the last few decades it had been with coors but last year they switched to ABinbev, now here's where my opinion comes from.

During covid, both MC and ABinbev discontinued over 150 sku's because supplies of aluminum and glass were stretched thin. The only brand i know of that was disco'd was olympia beer. I'd chalked that up to covid. Alot of companies are the time stopped making slower-selling products so they would have enough supplies to make the high-volume products. Lets fast-forward to today; Bud took a big profit hit due to the transgender bud can backlash. Sales have decreased so much for bud that they sold off most of their craft beers, shut down a few breweries and sold off a few more. A few months ago, stag beer was discontinued. Stag was a other cheap beer, which juat so happens to be a competitor of natty and Busch light. Now we have schlitz being disco'd, which also competed against buds cheaper options.

Bud has the capacity to make it, they're choosing not to. People are still asking for it/buying it. Here's an example of how bud will fuck over the competition. Ages ago, a craft beer brand by the name of lagunitas bought their glass bottles from an AB-owned bottle factory. Over time, lagunitas was hearing stories from their buyers that their bottles would break randomly, at the slightest hit, when other beer bottles could fall onto the ground and not shatter. So lagunitas sent a few guys out to investigate why this was happening. What they found out was that AB told the bottle factory to sell the bottles that didn't pass inspection to lagunitas. True story: i heard that from a district sales manager that used to work for lagunitas.

Gretz Beer

Anyone had Gretz beer? Originally out of Philadelphia and recently started up by the family again in Elverson, PA? I’m planning on getting some at the store in the next week or so but thought I’d see if anyone had an opinion on the beer before I went.

Sparkling mineral water extends my beer drinking

I like the taste and the buzz beer give, but I tend to guzzle it too fast. In an effort to slow down, I discovered that I can add some sparkling mineral water and still enjoy the beer. Not soda water, that changes the taste. I will have one or two beers, then begin adding sparkling mineral water and it extends my drinking time. Anyone else do this?

EDIT: YES, I add it to my beer. It's like a shandy or radler, but not adding a new taste. Note that I have 1 or 2 straight beers first, then begin adding the fizzy minerals water, maybe 10% then next one 12% etc up to about 20%. I agree that diluting beer is not the optimum way to enjoy it, but it helps me pace myself.
