    Yes and yes...Manufact said it’s safe and non-toxic. But drink on some ink and notice yr lip. They look great though, just pour outta the can.

    I don’t know, that’s a slippery slope. I like the money going straight to the breweries. Once you get distributors and middlemen involved, it seems like money is going into the wrong pockets.

    I've heard too much dry beaning can also cause your lips to tingle

    I was afraid to search that term on AskJeeves.

    also, the next time I get into a heated altercation with a stranger in a Panera parking lot (as one does), I’m definitely going to yell “you really want to do this, Tingle Lips?”

    “Use more spit” is what I’ve been told.

    If your lip is tingling really bad then you both need to get checked out.

    FWIW, my kids think that HA's labels are the worst. They've taken to peeling labels off and using them to pick up cat hair from the rug (like a lint roller). According to the boy, Phase Three cans are the best, since the labels come off easily and are really sticky. HA labels come off easily but all of the adhesive remains on the can ("totally useless" he says). For the most part, this is a win-win-win situation.
    1. Fewer contaminants going into the recycle bin.
    2. The rug has never looked better.
    3. It's led to conversations like "What the??!! She got a label but I didn't?!" "Well, what do you want me to do?" "Drink another beer so I can have a label!" "Can't argue with that logic."
    The only downside is if they realize that they can peel the labels off before I drink the beer. It'll be "mystery beer night" every night!

    This is amazing. I am 100% attempting this strategy with my daughter.

    Do they have any secret labels on the bottles or cans, behind the peel off label beyond Big Hug bottles? I recall the label stating to peel off the top layer to reveal more on 2017 Big Hugs bottles, and sure enough there was a second set of cats lurking underneath the peel off label.

    Really hoping Alchemist switches Heady Topper to this format to f*ck with people.

    Year's into the future: "Heady just isn't the same as it used to be once they removed the lip tingle."

    So that's why they said "Drink from the can"!

    Burl with a big price increase but I don’t really care if it’s as good as last year

    Picked up my Benthic package today. Does anybody else feel like those 2 pk boxes are too pretty to open? I mean they’re beautiful, but I feel like I’m handling a 1979 mint condition Boba Fett with working rocket.
    BTW regular Benthic is fantastic.
