Surly Brewing 16 Grit [Abrasive] tasting

[mavallarino]

i enjoy your tasting videos. Now I know what to try when I visit the States.

Hey don, Did those grolsch style bottles hold the carbonation? How long did you let them sit before consuming? I might have to do this in the future. Thanks

@brettwasbtd They will hold carbonation indefinitely provided they are properly sealed. But you would not want to store them for more than say a week. The beer is getting more oxygen when it is siphoned this way, and so it will oxidize and start tasting worse fairly soon. However, the carbonation will be higher than if you just left it in the growler.

...Not the baby monitor in the background. This is real life.

Sitting here at 524AM, I'm tempted to grab that Kriek from the fridge and have a taste. There is a tune called Whiskey For Breakfast, that's my theme song today. Happy New Year!

mmmm.... Kriek.....

Intriguing plot line, very clear beginning middle, and end. Altho the character development could use some work.

Nice Video. Kind of abrasive, but nice.
