I think I went to a bad store because I am very disappointed.
This evening, I ran out to the local market to get some food for dinner. While I was walking in, I noticed a beer and wine store right next to the food store. I did what I had to do in the food store and then made a quick visit into the alcohol store. I bought Gritty McDuff’s Black Fly Stout and Samuel Adams Cream Stout.
The reason I think I went to a bad store was because both beers were horrid. I opened the Gritty’s Black Fly Stout and began to pour it into the glass. The instant the beer hit the air, it turned to foam. I must have poured about a half inch of beer when the entire glass was full of suds. I waited for a while and then tried to pour more. It just kept turning into suds once the beer hit the air. I tasted the beer out of the bottle and it wasn’t any better. I poured that one down the drain and tried another. The same thing happened. Either it was a bad brew or someone left that beer out in the sun or something.
Since I still wanted a beer, I opened up a Sam Adams Cream Stout. I poured the beer and everything looked good. I am not sure if tasting the previous beer altered my taste buds or what, but this beer tasted watery. I was hoping that the “Cream” in Cream Stout would make the beer taste creamy. I guess not. It got slightly better throughout dinner, but I still wasn’t a happy camper.
I am going to bring the one six-pack of Gritty’s back to the store tomorrow. That’s BS.

It sounds like the “Black Fly Stout” was over primed (too much carbonation sugar) when bottled. That is the typical reason for crazy foam.
Speaking of Stout, I bottled my first Stout last night. It is going to spend the fall season in my basement aging and I’ll drink it over the winter. My Bitter is wonderful! It gets better and better, unfortunately is is also getting fewer and fewer!

Yeah, strange. It is odd that a company could screw that up. It’s like the second the beer hit the air, it exploded. When is was sitting in the bottle, it was totally normal. When I took a sip out of the bottle, my mouth filled up with foam and it didn’t taste very good.
