Message furthur beers 2164 º places 40 º 00:18 Fri 5/15/2015 Really? They mix this at the brewery and distribute? So what if I just mix my own dissident and abyss? Same thing, right? Can I then rate it? This seems weird to me.

Says right in the description it’s 50/50 mix. Because it’s a site rule. Does that mean you couldn’t do it anyway without anyone knowing? No. But you could fabricate ratings without anyone knowing too, if that’s really how you want to spend your leisure time. But if you want to play by the ratebeer rules, it needs to be consumed as-is by the brewery. It’s a beer and data integrity issue. What if there was batch variation in the 50/50 brewery mix that you didn’t pick up on when you blended it with your own bottles? Then your rating would be an inaccurate review of the blend released by the brewery. EDIT: After looking it up, it looks like it is unrateable for everyone.
Message furthur beers 2164 º places 40 º 21:49 Sun 5/17/2015 I didn’t realize it was unrateable, I wonder what the story is. I basically was trying to sort out what does make a blend rateable. I’ve rated brewery "stream mixed" beers already, and then there’s the fruit additions, or randalized beers. These are all straight from the tasting room, so they’re brewer sanctioned. But that doesn’t make them rateable. Rating is a specialized game, but the Brewers make the playing field pretty muddy in places. I’d be interested in the story of abyssident, if anyone knows it. With my newfound interest in dark sours I’ll probably try blending my own just for fun when my bottle of dissident matures. I might even post back here.

Message Sarlacc83 beers 2662 º places 111 º 22:35 Sun 5/17/2015 I thought for sure this thread was going to be about the 2009 batch of Abyss. Color me disappointed - if amused by Deschutes owning what happened and now toying with the ultimate flavor of that batch.
