    I got lots of pine and dank. Although my buddy said he was picking up more citrus.

    Just poured an imperial hyper dog, and there is very little carbonation.
    Anyone else experience this?

    Batch # 225-226

    Beejays Weirdo Brown Ale was great. Just had a bottle of Nelson from Alpine last night and this beer had the same big Nelson hop flavor but with a great light chocolate malt backbone. Really blends well

    Imperial Hyper Dog is one of the best Pipeworks' beers I've had in a few months

    Hear, hear. Thought it was stellar. Best of the hyper/jones dog milk stout series imo. Definitely for coffee lovers.

    I thought he looked somewhat familiar. Was that really at the chicago beerfest? Why would John Laffler be manning the pipeworks booth? This picture raises more questions than answers.

    I've had a few knockouts and one or two whiffs by PW, but that BeeJays Weirdo Brown is aweeeessssoooooommmeee!!!!
    I thought it would just be pretty simple, quite similar to Bells Best Brown I was thinking...This is hoppy, yet malty, yet roasty all at the same time and in perfect harmony.

    However, lol, and yes I laugh now and when I first noticed it in my car, why is there beer splashed/dried all over the outside of the bottle? Ya'll have a 'professional-playoff-victory-champagne/beer-toast" every time you bottle something? Just bustin open bottles and sprayin' ém all over the packing plant?

    I had a similar experience not too long ago. I'm not sure which batch it was from but it sure made a mess!

    So good. Also got to try the Brother Blue Beardo tonight. Small sample but really liked it.

    Blue Beardo I had today seemed under carbonated.

    I've had 100s, maybe more, of beers from pipeworks and have never had a problem with carbonation.

    Could it be possible that people want free stuff? Not calling anyone out specifically, but the one error PWs made was address these issues publically on this board. Now, all of a sudden I can't make it through a page without seeing someone commenting on the carbonation.

    Just an observation. Not saying it's impossible for PWs to make an imperfect beer. But I've probably consumed as much of their product as anyone and have never, repeat NEVER, found an issue with carbonation. Maybe I'm lucky. Who knows..
