    Anyone know of a store selling Abrasive singles. I want to throw one in a box for a buddy but I don't really like the stuff so I don't want the other 3 cans.

    When I do this, I usually just buy the 4-pack and drink the other 3 myself.

    Wait, I just noticed you said you don't really like Abrasive??? I'm shocked. I have no response to that.

    Different strokes for different folks. I can tell it's a quality beer, but I don't like hoppy beer, so I don't buy it either. I usually have one on tap, say, yea, that's a good DIPA, and forget about it for another year. Similar to how I treat White Castle, but that's because my body takes a year to recover and my mind a year to forget.

    I have a buddy who is the same way. He likes Coors Light a lot (not saying you do, or that it is a bad thing) and that is fine. When I bring over the Surly he takes a few sips. He respects the beer but it's just not his thang. Nothing wrong with that.

    I get your point; to each his own, don't judge other people and all. But seriously what is there to like about Coors light? Other then the buzz?

    On a hot summer morning, it's cold and refreshing in a tasteless sort of way. And only mildly intoxicating. Cheap too.

    Anybody getting any oniony flavors this year? I got a 4-pack dated 11/27 yesterday that I'm not digging. I don't recall any onion in previous cans from this year.

    I have had at least a 4 pack every weekend since it's release and it has been drinking nothing short of stellar for me. Even more so compared to past years. I did however pick up a 4 pack of Bender that tasted a bit off and checked the bottom to find it was brewed in early September.

    It sounds like you are in the minority of people that perceive onion/garlic flavor from Simcoe hops, which was the primary hop used in this years Abrasive. Have you tried Devil Dancer? Most people with this affinity can't stand the stuff...
