this will be the second time the shit has been served.


you might want to write papsoe or someone else with better knowledge of why these entries are separate.


yeah i see the "different recipe" changes in the discription,kinda like the recipe change in the shit.

i should have just stuck with my original comment.arguing this is pointless.most people in charge have not had it,so its not going in he database.

Gotta go with Odeed on this...I said it last time when this topic was brought up and I’ll say it again. It seems like those of you that don’t want it in the database have this otherworldly passion for keeping it out and have changed your minds, as noted in Odeed’s post, about why to keep it out. I’ve never had the beer and probably never will but I’m thoroughly jealous of those who have and would love to see some tasting notes on it...just my opinion.

What part of "It wasn’t commercially available" is so difficult for you and Odeed to understand?

Joe, I hate to fight here as a fellow Admin but there were people outside of RBeerians at the event that it was originally released at for RBSG

Correct.

Adding coffee to a beer is considered a significant recipe change which creates a new beer.

Swapping out brands of one of the ingredients like brands of coffee in a coffee stout or brands of coriander in a wit does not normally make for a new beer.

Like it has been pointed out before in this thread, this is not the first time Speedway has changed coffee brands. When they switched the brand of coffee in the basic Speedway a few years ago it was done without fanfare. This special batch is being done with fanfare. Adding fanfare to a beer is not considered a recipe change.

If this is a recipe issue thats one matter.

but if its a commercial availability issue and people have problems with the original release that I can verify and as well as many others, after the 10th it should be added since it will be sold at a bar to the general public.

This was an experimental one off. Beer Geek Breakfast without any coffee. The base beer so to speak.
Always a pleasure to help you out of your misery Jacob thumbs up


Henrik can you comment on the single hop mikkeller ipa’s? If the hop changes isn’t that just one ingredient also?

Maybe I’m wrong here? Was it the Dark Lord one that changed?
Didn’t Speedway have some sort of recipe change about 2-3 years ago?


Single hop beers are one of the exceptions to the single ingredient change rule since it is such a major ingredient. I suspect that if someone made a single malt beer and then switched from 100% pale malt to 100% black patent malt, it would probably qualify as a new beer as well.
