    So I broke open a Beer Geek bacon tonight finally. First half of the pour was nice, and I really enjoyed this.(coffee was definitely faded though, same fate with the Beer Geek Breakfast I had 2 weeks ago. I really should not hold on to coffee beers haha) Last half of the bottle poured out and I saw a bunch of blobs fall and plop into my snifter. Looks like brown gelatin or something. Did not affect the flavor profile of the beer, but it was odd that this was in the bottle to say the least.

    You got the Mikkeller stout slug. It's kinda like getting a prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.

    They're amazing. But, they are too damned expensive so I pass.

    Hopped is Breakfast, right? And definitely not the bacon......

    Yes, you are right, the bacon has no breakfast declaration.

    Thats why I didn't know the bacon version exist, I always pass. I saw the cognac version of BGBW yesterday, $15 for a 250 ml. Craziness.

    Similar happened to me with a Speedway... it looked like a huge LUGGIE... I'll never drink that beer again.

    You know it can happen to ANY craft beer right? I'm sure theres a bottle or two of CBS or Rare with a luggie in it.

    I'm sure that statistically something shitty happens to any thing, that is why no matter how good something is, someone out there is grossed out by it. Hope my Rare doesn't have a luggie in it... oh well, if not, I'll still never drink one again after it...

    Wow, some brewer throws weird stuff into a brew and the end user is amazed that there are strange precipitates.
    What in the world next?
