More Brewing Co (2019)

Milkshake "beers," pastry "stouts" and orange juice "IPAs"

 

This sounds like a win to me. I may get to get some cans now, as maybe they’ll be no more lines.

 

See what you did there.

 

Yeah, I admit my initial reaction was "damn, More is f'd". but as I calmed down, it dawned on me that there are a LOT of quality brewers out there. There are many breweries that succeed despite not employing Shaun. More still has great food, a great taproom, and now clearly a high caliber brewer. I"m sure they'll be fine.

 

And as I keep beating into the ground, they have other brewers that have brewed 100s of batches of beer at More. It’s not like Shaun was the only one allowed to touch the equipment.

The assistant brewers are not going to suddenly forget how to brew Dusty or Marbles after making them a dozen times, and I’m pretty sure they’ll be motivated group.

As John Kimmich of Alchemist said, you take teach people to brew your beer pretty easily if they have the right attitude. Sure, you want a strong leader, but once the team has it down and knows what to do, you can share that knowledge through multiple people and multiple years.

“For us, first and foremost when we’re hiring a brewer, we look for a person that’s smart and hard-working. Creative and maybe they don’t even realize they’re creative...

We have several brewers that have never brewed beer in their lives, and they’re fantastic. Their main focus is doing exactly what I need them to do.“

 

Off topic: henna marshmallow is incredible right now.

 

to save my henna toasted marshmallow for my first born in june, or bomb it now

 

Save it. BA babies are the happiest babies.

 

Can confirm. Just rub it on their gums once they are teething.

FT: 3 and 5 year olds who are running around with underwear on their head yelling something about booty (non-treasure kind) pre-dawn. Lots of + options

ISO: Marshmallow Henna

Oh, and congrats! I think.

 

I did the whole special bottle when my daughter was born. Prop 14 when we came back from the hospital and another on her 1st bday.

My second is due in April. Ticking my white whale (og rare) when he is born. It def makes the event even more fun. Just gotta find the time where you are dead tired and can stay awake when drinking them lol

Congrats!

 

It's hilarious how big of losers those guys are. You really get the feeling that these guys want to be friends with Shaun so bad that they are defending him like high school girls on facebook.

 

Not really. Guy kinda has a cult following. He was the first to be slinging the NE IPA style before everyone else (Juicy) in the state and the only brewer at the time to rival BCBS (Chaos). Ppl follow a brewer who they know will put out a quality product.

Now, blind devotion....ehh

 

Eh I could be wrong but I remember Mikerphone having the first legit NE IPAs in the state.

 

Mikerphone was definitely the first IL made hazy I had that was any good.

 

Yeah but going on a companies page and essentially threatening them is a little weird. These guys would literally kill someone to be friends with Shaun.

 

I thought it was the growler batch of Half Acre's Beer Hates Astronauts....

 

Can release this Saturday @ 11am....Not sure what style yet...lol sorry for the lack of details

 

i was planning on going there for dinner this weekend and noticed the tap-list has started to dwindle. glad to hear they are doing a new release this weekend.

 

While I will still fully support More because I think they've build a solid brand and love a lot of their beers, I think they really should have taken this opportunity to jam out some spectacular beer and really make a statement. I understand that Shaun leaving was on super short notice, but they gotta step up and show these neckbeards what they can do.

 

You realize this beer (whatever it is) was brewed while Shaun was still there. Were they not supposed to release it because he left?
