    Does this mean that Minhas won't be producing the beer that is sold there? Minhas not making beer is always good news.

    Does this mean people actually buy a second can of this stuff?

    Frank was always my favorite player, but man does he make some shitty beer.

    I suppose in the technical sense of the term, two points make a line, so a "line of craft beer" can consist of two options?

    The big hurt beer was garbage, but it looks like most people realize that.

    But all good malt liquors are brewed in Wisconsin...either at Minhas or Melanie.

    Not all of us have the time or money to tick as many malt liquors as you have. Check your privilege.

    Saw on the news that the groundbreaking for this took place yesterday. When I initially saw the report, I was like wow, that logo reminds me of Breckenridge Brewery...With all of the logo disputes present these days, think we'll see a cease and desist?

    Here's a comparison:

    Compared to most malt liquors, I thought Big Hurt was decent. No heavy "grape drank" flavor and even more important, I didn't get any off-flavors. If I needed to get a cheap malt liquor, I would definitely consider this. That said, I tried one can 2 years ago and have not even considered getting another since. Overall, I don't mind an option for a 7% so-so beer for $1.50/24 oz but in no way am I interested in a brewpub that focuses on something like this.

    It's a "brew house" in name only, no beer will actually be brewed there. Probably will continue to be brewed at Minhas.

    That's a shame that the beer sucks... It's only 2 blocks from the house
