brewery vivant wizard burial ground

Had this at FOBAB, very good stuff!

And, being a fan of Umphrey's McGee.....I gotta have this!

 

Had this at the Detroit Beer Fest and thought it was decent, nothing spectacular.

 

Are they really waxing the tops of the can?

 

Lmao. If they are I'm buying

 

Saw this on FB so looks like no. I need #moarwacks

 

Those are the 4 pack holders.

I like the idea of waxing though. If I were to ever open a brewery, I'd do that.

 

why stop at the top?? Just wax the whole can

 

Think they were referring to this photo from Vivant.

 

Seems like it would be a nightmare on a can. You would have to remove all or most of it before opening, otherwise a lot would end up in the beer. Not to mention clearing wax from the tab would be a major pain.

 

One of their top brewers is a fan, I think his name is Brian. A few friends of mine know him.

 

It's so craft though.

And besides, no one would want to buy any, so they'd be rare too!

 

These worth picking up? Read a lot of people on untappd saying it was "cloyingly sweet".

 

Cloying=most overused and annoying word to describe beer. But I love Vivant so I will be trying this.

 

It was a little sweet.

 

Cost?

 

$24.99/4pk, no wax, tasted good to me, not too sweet, barrel present but not overbearing

 

cloyed, cloy·ing, cloys
v.tr.
To cause distaste or disgust by supplying with too much of something originally pleasant, especially something rich or sweet; surfeit.
v.intr.
To be too filling, rich, or sweet.
I think it's really the perfect word for describing something that's so sweet you can't enjoy it. But I guess that's just me... And the dictionary. Work on your lexicon bra! Haha
Cheers!

 

P.S. I definitely agree with you its over used though
