    Why do I keep hearing of bad cans that taste like butter ?

    Not sure about cans, but the latest batch of HopHands at the Brew Cafe was terrible I thought. Buttery, and tasted nothing like it usually does.

    Anyone know what these cryptic messages are about on TH's Instagram? Theyve released 3 over the last 3 days with supposedly the 4th tomorrow.

    Buttery flavor in beer is a result of having a perceptible amount of a compound called diacetyl.

    Below is something I posted in the other Tired Hands thread:

    There are three pathways to obtain perceptible diacetyl in beer:

    · Fermentation (insufficient time in the fermenter)

    · Infection

    · Oxidation of alpha-acetolactate into diacetyl in the packaged beer

    There are more details here: https://beersensoryscience.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/diacetyl-1/

    Cheers!

    Has anyone here had coffee Only Void before? Think it will be worth the probable wait?

    Is it blasphemous to say that I found them to be overrated...will have to give a few more visits but I have been reading so much hyped up-ness that I was underwhelmed..

    Not blasphemous - but it is hard for places to live up to hype... I know I was underwhelmed when I finally got Pliny/ Heady etc... I would definitely give it more chances before writing them off, not every beer there is a 5 and some are way better than others. What location did you go to? What beers did you get? Just curious.

    They were definitely good. I had been dying to visit for forever now, and reading/hearing nothing but stellar stuff. I had had Hophands at other bars previously. I went to the Fermentaria this past Friday and had Fencemender, Punge, a sip of someone's Rose, and Alien Church.

    I think that I definitely would like a few more visits..when its not as crowded to try to appreciate it a little more. Again, nothing is bad, nor am I writing it off..

    Gotcha, I have been somewhat underwhelmed by some of the IPAs lately, they are still good, but tasting similar to each other, exct Punge, secret poncho. I do think they have really stepped up their saison game though. also if you didn't get to the original brew cafe, make sure you get there. To me that place is way better than the Fermentaria

    They have done red wine barrel only void and rye whiskey only void in the past, but that was a few years ago and I sadly missed out on that release....
