This is too easy. No wax. It adds unnecessary costs to the beer and no benefit at all to the consumer.
I always sounded better on wax. The dat tapes I recorded in my bedroom were just a reference point. Hunter, we're talking about beer. My bad. Just make it easy to drink. We want the finished product!
I've seen a picture of bottles on here with so many layers of 'waxtic' that they look like sex toys, apparently intentionally.
Me too. It would be really tough to get off. I bet they didn't actually do that to very many since it would add a lot of cost. Maybe they just did a couple. Wish I knew what thread that was in, but it was in the last few months. LMAO
No wax. In fact, that goes double for beer. It's bad enough when they put that crap on one of my whisk[e]y bottles, but a beer? Save the money and put it toward your employees' 401Ks or Xmas bonuses.
It depends. I love pull tab wax such as seen on Side Project beers. I think it is nice to have on beers made for extended aging as an extra line of defense against oxygen. It does nothing for me to add percieved prestige though.
I'm 103 years old and I don't trust myself with a dull Swiss army knife or a rusty hacksaw or one of those pizza cutters that looks like a Klingon bat'leth, any one of which I'm likely to reach for in the dark of the night after I've waded through the flotilla of craft brews that were supposed to last me all weekend but here we are and it's still Friday night and I'm down to this one bottle that was kind of a last minute pickup and okay maybe I didn't look too closely because it's an imperial stout with cinnamon, chamomile, and squirrel (?) matured in bronze age Greek amphora recovered from the bottom of the Mediterranean and that some jerk dipped in wax instead of any of the current methods of beer bottle closure that work JUST FINE here in 2026.
