Seven Stills

Let's hope so. The one I had tasted like candy/bubblegum, like some weird artificial flavor, but I didn't want to mention it because I was already bitching about the Legal Limit.

 

just came on here to see if anybody was experiencing their yeast contamination issues, but it looks like you all have started the discussion.

From the notes on Untappd it looks like their newest release ICO is having the same issue. I feel kind of bad for them, but at the same time I kind of giggle considering how they try to hype up their beers tasting "mind blowing" on their instagram. Even the cans say "Hype Series" on it.

 

Picked up an ICO at the store this weekend before I remembered you mentioned something about it. Well, I even drank it after a Pranqster to make sure I was in a funky Belgian mood.

There's just something a little strange going on. I was really hoping for even just something run-of-the-mill, but the funky quality of the aroma and taste seems like artificial candy - pretty much the same thing I got from the last 8 Lbs. Really hope they get things sorted out.

 

Anyone take Tim up on his offer on Instagram response for free beer or whiskey for buying these off batches?

 

Where is this on Instagram? Also, it looks like there's a 7/2 batch of Eight Lbs . . . was this one of the off batches? Wondering if I should have Bay Area hook-up pick me up a pack, or wait until this has been cleared up?

Had the Drink Umbrella last night, it was good.

Because if they admitted to a comprised brewing process it would probably destroy the value of their crowdfunding campaign. I'm going to go out a limb here (looking at zero data, so this is 100% a guess) but I'd imagine beer is their main growth engine, especially sales through the expanding number of taprooms. Any cracks in the growth engine would look horrible, especially at this time.

Btw, the thought that these people think this brewery/distillery is worth $20.8M pre-money made me laugh. I wish them best.

 

Ha, they finally got the C&D from In-n-Out

Got the Twins sour, but had about ten beers before it so I can't remember how it was, will crack another tonight.

 

In N Out is a class act all around.

Seven Stills not so much since they blatantly ripped off a trademark fully expecting a cease a desist.

 

The letter was hilarious. Mad props for all of the puns they used.

 

hopefully it taste good, given their track record it probably won’t :/

their instagram is strange too, i dunno if they are trying to be humorous, or just weird

 

@thuey I'm assuming you got your hands on 5Lbs? It looks to be pretty well regarded so I'm assuming their yeast issues have been corrected.

 

ICO IPA was meh...nothing to write home about. Very basic. Rod and Reel red imperial ale with swedish fish was a huge let down. The can art and name implied so much goodness and none of it delivered. It was a musky bitter red ale. They should rename and relabel it. I won’t buy it again.
