It's corkable to an extent. I'd say that if you're going to cork it, you better finish it the next day because it's going to lose a lot of carbonation. I think if you're planning on corking frequently, you should probably invest in a cork that is designed for champagne since those are meant to keep the carbonation in.Raw Dawgin' it;1315275 wrote:Is a high alcohol content beer corkable? Will it be good the next day too or is it different than wine in the sense that, once you open a beer you have to finish it that same day.
My personal rule, though, is that if I open a beer, I'm finishing it.

Did not agree. Didn't like it near as much. Tasted too much honey or something.I Wear Pants;1310144 wrote:Thirsty Dog's Christmas ale is arguably better than GL.

Picked these up tonight. Great Lakes was behind counter, and I feel way overpriced, unmarked. Had to be $12-$13 for a sixer? Threw Coors Light in for added affect!

See, I taste way too much spice and nutmeg in the GL version, and it's been watered down substantially as well. I still drink it, but I don't seek it out like I used to.iclfan2;1315357 wrote:Did not agree. Didn't like it near as much. Tasted too much honey or something.

Any beer you are supposed to put fruit in != a beer.

I don't hate it either, but it's not a beer. It's like a slightly manlier wine cooler.Commander of Awesome;1315486 wrote:I dont hate blue moon, but to call it a craft beer is just LOL.

Finishing up the last of the O'Fallon Pumpkin in the fridge tonight.
Then it's off to the store tomorrow to pick up some Christmas Ale.
