Back Channel Brewing - Blow Back NEIPA

SNAFU at its best!

 

It was all over the local news here soon after happening. Amazing that they were able to salvage some of that batch. Also an unexpected "splash" of media attention! Their beers are really good.

 

I think I could watch this video 100x and still be entertained, I'm surprised that guy got up so quick, that had to be quite an impact he felt.

 

The beer that came out looked delicious

Money to maintain independence

 

Wonder how much business increases due to thie exposure? I hope 1000%

 

What’s the play by play on this? It looks like he is trying to put a long rod into the fermenter?

 

I've heard the same thing about dry-hopping that if hops are added too quick you could have a nice beer overflow.

 

Bonus points if the employee was drinking on the job and this was his way of preventing the employer from detecting beer on his breath….

 

Hopefully he didn’t get pulled over on his way back from work.

“No really Officer, I work at a brewery and I was caught in a beer explosion! It’s the truth, sir!”

 

For those too lazy to click on links (like me )

 

I am curious how large the batch was expected to be vs how much it ended up being after the loss.....

 

Aptly named. Back Channel really is a great small brewery excelling in hazies andBA Stouts . Its has access to Lake Minnetonka , but is quite a driven (time more than miles) from Minneapolis/St Paul.

 

I’m still amazed at how quickly he got up and sprang into action as if this is a frequent occurrence there.

 

Any chance this was a Jackass outtake?
