When I'm just trying to find tasty beer--rather than review it--I also go to extra lengths to try to find stuff that won't be skunked. At this point, if it's Bayern pils, I'll buy it in the bottle, but most every other pils I prefer to buy in cans.

We are under no obligation to seek out so-called "fresh and unspoiled product." Honestly, I'm not sure if I've ever had an import in a clear or green bottle that wasn't skunked to some degree.

"you should review fresh, well taken care of, better if they are on tap at this or that pub" instead of something you buy at a supermarket. <br /><br />In my opinion, the production process of a beer does not end until it's in my glass.

On the contrary, it's unfair to the consumer to have to take such things into account.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287873442588114879noreply@blogger.com
