Xray the Enforcer Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Unfortunately, I started sniffling as soon as I started drinking, as though I was mildly allergic to something in it. Does that ever happen to anyone else? Slightly different reaction, but yes. I do sometimes have a sensitivity reaction to beers. For me, it happens most often in dry-hopped beers, so it's definitely something with hops, possibly residual pollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 On the red wine again. Discovered that the shop across the road sells an amazing Italian red for £4. Will be off the cans in favour of that over the winter for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please send some of that good taste down here? The beer being brewed lately has gone from abominable to humiliating. What is wrong with my people?

Isis Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Happened to me just this week, eef. Hayfever type reaction a few hours later. Sad that it was one of my favourite beers, Halcyon. Luckily the production manager at Thornbridge told me they'll stop dry-hopping if it's so problematic. Such a sweetheart. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Wow, that's pretty awesome of them! I can't find out whether the abbey dry-hops their beers (or even just the Barock Dunkel), but it must be something like that. Luckily it wasn't much of a reaction for me, so it sounds like it was much worse for you. Especially if it's caused by a favourite! I used to think it was a weird reaction to wheat, as it would also happen sometimes when eating (for example) hamburgers on a bun, but pollen makes a lot more sense. I guess this just means that next I'll have to finally crack open that Smooth Ambler gin instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout was delivered to our part of the world today so like a dork I took a longish lunch break to grab some before it was gone. It's a very hot commodity. I managed to scoop up two four-packs, a four-pack of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout and a surprise large format bottle of barrel-aged Narwhal. So excite!
