    This is actually kind of amazing if you're familiar with the history of the Pabst brand. It's value was next to nothing when it was bought back in the 90s. Basically a group of investor just bought what was a more or less defunct brand for peanuts. Then they smartly paid other people to brew the product and went around snapping up other old school beer brands. All the while increasing their sales without any investment in marketing.

    Very savvy and/or lucky.

    Maybe the Weinstein Co. will buy it, let it lose value, and then sell it to some enterprising and naive European royal. #hipsters

    A hipster with a trust fund is more likely to have $300 mil than a dude with an actual job.

    Just like a right wing nut reach for the gun. I wonder what would the right fringe do if they were without beer, or a gun, or bacon, or country music, or their KKK fuck brothers....would they become hippies and leftists?

    @CLY: I ain't the type to easily get offended but liking beer, guns, bacon, and country music doesn't mean you're not a leftist. Of course you're reminding me why I hate other leftists.

    an airlock in primary? stupid, unless you like a pale ale explosion all over your carpeting.

    a blow-off tube would be a much better option. save those rinky-drink airlocks for your secondary.

    That looks like a whole lot of Bloody Marys to me. If that is beer, it looks pretty damn nasty.

    @The Curse of Millhaven:
    Not only that, but the color is distorted by the width of the glass carboy. I forget the scientific term for it, but basically liquids look darker when the light has to travel further through it.

    When you pour that into a glass, it will probably look like a Sierra Nevada or something... amber/reddish.

    @momof3wildkids: In addition, they should have it in a dark closet for best results. I'm a beer man, but the Bloody Mary does occasionally help me get my 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
