Man for some reason groceries stopped selling bombers in my area. I miss buying a few of strong beer and drinking from the yuge bottles haI've had quite a few of Northern Monks beers over the past year or so, quite enjoyed most of them!
Just poured myself a glass of this Double Bastard, a favorite for sure!

It's that everybody is switching to Aluminum. I agree. Glass really tastes better. I don't care how many pros tell me that the new cans are sealed and all that sh!t... it's f'ing BUNK! A good Keg tastes different from a bottle which tastes different than a can. Which means they are coming from different facilities or different batches... either way, if it's that noticeable, you've got manufacturing problems and horrible batch consistency!

Or that the different processing for each container type is changing the flavour, not the container itself. Carbonation level and pasteurisation temperature profile perhaps? Or even just bias from sighted tasting? It's certainly true that there are brewers with terrible consistency though - in which case it's a lottery no matter the container.
Aha I do often buy the 19.2oz cans of hi test.
Is it better if we call it aluminium?Fair enough.
But...
Fcuk Aluminum.
It's getting hard to avoid....True... but I don't have to like it, do I.Is it better if we call it aluminium?
I used to think I could tell more of a difference between glass and aluminum can beer than I can now. Draught is just betterTrue... but I don't have to like it, do I.

Too much of these lately,I swear every year I won't start early.Damn you DrankDozijn!! With your cheap sale prices and free shipping on a case of 12
Do you base this opinion of yours on a sighted comparison? ;-)
Pouring can be really iffy in a blind test....
This one I haven't seen in bottles locally for a while https://lagunitas.com/beer/a-little-sumpin-sumpin/ but still tasty!
Probably. But I can see those aluminum atoms floating in my beer!
We still have glass 6-packs from them, but all the singles have gone to cans.
But that's only one atomic number away from silicon!Probably. But I can see those aluminum atoms floating in my beer!
Singles? I don't think they do that here....

Imperial Porter
9.6% ABV
This would be outstanding if lightly barreled in a bourbon or rye cask. With a scoop or two of Vanilla Ice Cream.

Before reading the description, I would have defined this release as a Dry Brown Ale / hard ginger beer. It's not a strong ginger spice, but somehow in the profile I get a slight gingery "heat" from this. Reading the above link, I get it. As the beer sits and warms some, the flavors are coming out more and the nuance in this brew is pretty stunning.
