I’m pretty sure Greg gathered every hot pepper within a mile of Stone, and put them in the kettle. If you do this, have friends over for a tasting and roll video. Done it. I was not a fan. Sculpin is mild but great pepper flavor.i do have a video of my buddy drinking a ghost face killa. It was intense. Also grapefruit Sculpin is great. ---

Picked up Pantius Droppus from Wegman’s along with Sam Adams Porch Rocker (for my dad) and an Ellicottville Brewing mix pack. Do you guys poor beers into glasses or just go right out of the bottle. I’m trying to determine the best drinking experience. [#BeerProblems](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=BeerProblems) ---

I try to drink out of a glass as often as possible. Certain beer just has to be consumed from said glass… This weekend’s selections.

Also Ethan Cox (Co-Founder of Community Beerworks) explains the glassware. I usually pour into a frosted mug myself.

Remember folks, frosted mugs are reserved for those beers which have zero flavor and have to be served ice cold so you don’t realize how bland they are. Colder the temp, less you taste. You can ruin a great beer by going to cold, much like a shit beer will be revealed once it is too warm. Also, good beer is best served out of the bottle. Like wine, it reacts well to aeration to expose all the flavors and aromas. ---

Hmm that’s interesting about the frosted glass…I probably wouldn’t bother frosting a glass for a miller lite tho… Had a smattering of Ellicottville’s offerings in their variety pack. 2 Brothers IPA was probably my favorite. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > Hmm that’s interesting about the frosted glass…I probably wouldn’t bother frosting a glass for a miller lite tho… You’re missing the point. A very light lagered style of beer is best when served cold. Take note of how these beers are marketed (cold activated cans, trains delivering cold beer from mountain tops, etc). They want you to only drink them at these temps as it masks the fact they have zero flavor. So frosted mugs are ideal for these styles. ---

Lol, I totally got the point…I’m just saying it’s like building a trophy case for the “trophy” you got in T-ball…probably not worth the effort for a cheapo beer. I totally understand the concept though. ---
