Sorry I'm not trying to be rude but it's just such an ignorant viewpoint. IPA standards have evolved since the 18th century. Mind blown, I know.

Yeah I can't get over this take it makes no sense.

The only beer I have ever felt is consistently spoiled is Stella Artois it seems like a 50/50 chance if it just is utterly terrible and am not sure if its the green bottles or it being imported.

Green bottles are the second worst method of storing beer, only better than clear glass. Brown bottles and aluminum cans are far better.

I used to be a beer bottle guy when buying beer but now I just get cans and I regret nothing!

If it is a nicer beer pour into glass otherwise chug it and throw that can into the bin from across the room, something that is risky with bottles.

Guys you're misunderstanding. I don't care what beer you drink I just think it's funny how much misinformation is occurring. Drink whatever you want, just know that A lot of people in this thread are objectively wrong about IPAs.

I'm not even an IPA evangelist necessarily, but I grew up around the stuff and know my way around it. The best IPA is very fresh and it goes downhill fast, which is an absolutely key reason why so many people think it's bad. They are drinking skunked poo poo.

For the record I don't blame you for holding this viewpoint at all. I'm actually on your side. The commercial IPA industry is super rough, and most of what gets sold is trash due to lead times inherent to the industry.

Hell even here in CA it's a rough go. I always recommend that people go drink fresh pints from the brewery itself, but even then it's not guaranteed.

There is probably some perception that i'm being elitist here but it's just a realistic take on a tough industry. These days I rarely drink IPA unless I'm at a place that can do it right, which is, truth be told, a rare occurrence.

I'm more of a cocktail man myself these days. Certainly not advocating that people get into IPA or even enjoy it, though a fresh hazy is something of beauty when you can find it.

This is so dumb but has anyone seen Vegan wine in Costco?

I have a vegan family member coming in and I’d like to accommodate.

I know they probably don’t but I just thought I’d ask if anyone has seen it.

I think it's sometimes clarified with animal products or other stuff that's not directly the wine ingredients per se but that still end up in it

Only white wine, because they don’t use beef blood to tint it red.

googlin, part of the Fining process, apparently, filtering out stuff. This doesn't say anything about coloring the wine

It's what separates vegan and non vegan wine

Sometimes it's pig's blood, but never in kosher wines.

They use animal products in the filtration which makes like 90% of wine not vegan.

This guy gets it. When we had one of our annual halloween bonfires I just threw a couple slabs of kirky lites at my sister in law's weird friends and let them drink themselves frothy.

Kept the good sun aged IPAs to myself.

In case anyone gives a poo poo, IPAs lasted for a long time because hops are a preservative. Today, hops are used as a flavoring and aroma agent I'm addition to adding bitterness. Unfortunately, the aroma and the flavor aspect of hops don't last very long, sometimes as little as 2 weeks before loss of aroma is noticed. So when people says drink it fresh, it's because they won't taste or smell as good if you wait (or if it takes a long time to reach you and get stocked). This is separate from skunking, which is an adverse reaction by the hops to sunlight.
