FT: BA Sump \\ ISO: Smooj

FT:
2022 Perennial BA Sump

ISO:
8 cans of Smooj

I think that's close to $4$. Smooj does get distributed locally so I am looking for variety / (lab) Smooj in addition to classics. Open to most any, but would like an Apple Pie, Orange Delight, & Pina Colada at the very least.

Fun Fact: Smooj is one of the top ranked breweries in the world on Untappd and Perennial is not.

 

Let me know. I’d like to try the apple pie if possible so I’ll keep the trade offer open for now. Feel free to shoot me a pm when you know what you have access to. Thanks!

 

These beverages seem marketed for 21-34 year old women who used to collect Hello Kitty with the cute face, catchy name, and sugary flavors. Somewhere along the way something went wrong with 40 year old neck beards like myself trading BA stouts for hard seltzer and rating down 0.25 on Untappd because "it's not really beer". They really Smooj'd their marketing effort...

 

ISO: Smooj-Hill Farmstead collaboration

"For this edition of Smooj we laid down the base seltzer in oak barrels for 6-years before bringing them back from their slumber and pouring literal tons of pureed fruit into them. This seltzer honors my Great Auntie Smooj; she was a real mensch. We hope you enjoy this collaboration.
Share.Consider.Enjoy..."

 

I have had the same thought. I wish there was 1 venue where you could rate everything - wine, beer, vodka, absinthe, etc. I'm not sure there is a real difference. There are other platforms like Vivino that allow you to take a picture of the wine label and the wine pops up; it would be great if this technology was combined with Untappd.

The problem with Untappd and all beer rating sites, as you mention @Sabtos, is that people don't rate based on styles. That's why you have world class Czech pilsners rated 4.1, while J Wakefield Berliner Weiss's rate over 4.5. Unfortunately when patrons and raters reward breweries for putting cookies (Pear Brandy Leto) and artificial flavors (all modern times), then other breweries follow suit. However, the nice thing about Untappd is it allows you to browse production from breweries you would never usually try. Case in point, I recently got some Fox Farm and thought they were wonderful; I wouldn't have tried them had I not researched them on Untappd.

Anyways, the Untappd wormhole has led me to Smooj. The heart wants what it wants.

Thanks all, trade closed with @LouistheXXIV.

 

What I would say to someone holding onto a Pear Brandy Leto or even a Monster Tones, be a man! The community is watching. Trade your pastry stout for a real beer. I will send you 8 of the best pilsners you have ever had in return for your single pastry stout.

This will be a perfect gift for my daughter; her name is Pear Brandy.

 

I know, debating trading for more Cadenza & Triolet. Even their canned offerings are great. Seeing how their barrel program is developing I will have to subscribe to their newsletter. Thanks @gudbrande!

 

Couldn’t be a happier Smooj’er. Big thanks to my guy @LouistheXXIV.
