I know its definitely not something that benefits the home brewer, but it's a cool effect none-the-less. You know that beer means business!

Beamish always had very spotty distribution to Oregon, and I snatched up whatever I could find (pints, cans, bottles). I loved this bottle, and I think I have two of them. Sounds like I better handle them with care.<br /><br />One thing you can't see is that it's a pretty big bottle; proportioned like a stubby, Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-38328796215325708652011-03-29T13:44:52.572-07:002011-03-29T13:44:52.572-07:00I was so sure A was Leinenkugels...I was so sure A was Leinenkugels...Patrick Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242234148546323374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-54370022715314406082011-03-29T12:25:25.714-07:002011-03-29T12:25:25.714-07:00I totally disagree – custom bottles are a blight o...I totally disagree – custom bottles are a blight on the beer landscape.

Ok, but aren't the labels hard to get off? Deschutes are easy to peel, but they have the hops embossed.<br /><br />I've never heard of Beamish, I like that one. I'll have to check it out.<br /><br />I have quite a collection of unusual bottle shapes going, and I always like to throw in one or two fordunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046509266809860934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-67958445531853488492011-03-29T10:01:30.077-07:002011-03-29T10:01:30.077-07:00D'oh!
