Hate to be the bearer of *possibly* bad news, but I had a 2 oz taster of Kaiser at a fest last weekend, and I'm pretty sure the recipe has been "tweaked." Some might prefer the new version, but those who loved it before (and I know Kaiser has some hard-core fans) may be disappointed. The cans look dope, though.
I intentionally didn't make any value judgment, good or bad. But if I could taste a difference with just a 2 ounce pour, surely it's gonna taste different when the hard-core fans drink a whole can.
Speaking of the new can designs, count me in as not being a fan. The old cans were so recognizable and easy to identify from a distance. Now they all look the same so much so that I accidentally grabbed Avery IPA when I wanted Go Play IPA a few weeks back. You really have to read each 6-pack one-by-one to see what they are.
Gonna grab a Growler of the 25th Anniversary Ale today to further celebrate Avery's splendid success!
Never was a huge Kaiser fan, but I really hope the Czar sees a return at some point. It's my favorite normal RIS of all-time. I also think Avery should celebrate the 12th Anniversary of their best beer EVER, Avery Thirteen.
Check out @Jason score for that beer. Pretty Funny. I unfortunately don’t remember that one, but would of loved to have tried it.
LOL, I remember disagreeing with that back when it came out. It's the closest American WB to Aventinus to me. A little sweeter and it had that "peanutty" malt character I like. I drank a lot of those back then. It was back when the Whole Foods on Hampden sold beer, and they sold that one super cheap for some reason. I probably bought 2 a week for that whole summer.
Yeah, it was open at the Hampden store for something like 3 years in the late 00's. They had shockingly good prices and even a few taps they'd use to give samples. The guy running it was a little weird, but it was otherwise a pretty awesome store. Then one random day that whole room was blocked off and there was a snarky note about how they didn't feel appreciated. Or something along those lines. It was really weird at the time.
The WF in Boulder has weird pricing, too. It isn't at all rare to find a stout bomber that is in the $17-18 range for around $10 there.
