EMERGENCY!!! MISSING BEERS

Three Misc Alc bottles went missing yesterday and we need your help. If you or anyone you know has any information regarding these three lost beers please contact us.

What Happened
Three (3) bottles of the could have been award winning Misc Alc SNPA Clone from Gameday Brewery were shipped last week via ups from Raleign, NC to Austin, TX. Our Austin contact however received not the beer but instead a few gallons of industrial strength shoe polish.

So someone, if things work this way, was expecting heavy duty shoe polish and got three of our beers. Our beer is not shoe polish.

If you are that person, please know we will not press charges or otherwise pursue legal remedies - we just want our beer back.

Thank you.

Ask the Brewmasters

The recent surge in traffic on our blog has us thinking that some of you may have brewing-related questions that just aren't getting the answers they deserve. We feel obliged to give back to the brewing community that has given so much by offering this new column: Ask the Brewmasters. No question is dumb enough for us so ask away. The doctor is in.

First question comes from Mike and His Four Noble Truths:

Q: Any plans on attempting a lager?

A: No immediate plans, unfortunately, as we lack the necessary equipment to control fermentation and lagering temperatures. We are big Pilsner fans (Paulaner Pils especially) so logic dictates that we try it. Prognosis: lagering mini-fridge within 3 months.

Label: Misc Alc

Misc Alc debut + double blind results

Apologies to all the gameday fans out there for the delayed Misc Alc review - just been too stumbling drunk off this INCREDIBLE FUCKING BEER to write a coherent one. So here it is: A sierra nevada clone of the highest quality - quenches like water, exceptional in every way. Except that we don't have a label yet.

A good friend and fellow drunk Al drinks Sierra Nevada exclusively. Don't argue with him about SNPA being the greatest beer ever produced - he'll beat you to a bloody pulp with his sports radio argument skillZ until you finally cede, ultimately just agreeing with him that yes, sierra is indeed the mother of all things alcohol, and yes, can we please talk/argue about something else now. Like how the song we just wrote sounds EXACTLY LIKE motley crew mixed with enuff-z-nuff doing a cover of this obscure live recording of jane says from the mid-nineties.

Wait, what?

So he was an excellent subject for our Double Blind Taste Test: Misc Alc v. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. He claimed one tasted like a typical first sierra of the night, the other like a typical fourth. No discussion what second or third taste like. But he chose ours as the sierra. Meaning he FAILED. Or we succeeded, either way.

Photo is Al sleeping in the band room and dreaming of a world where the ocean is made of perfectly chilled SNPA (or indistinguishable clone holler), the wind sings sweet obscure hair metal in everyone's ears, and salary is determined by how many shits you take at work. Cheers!
