How Much Cheese Is Too Much Cheese? (Carrot Cake Cheesecake Sour) | Two Tides | Beer Review |

[@dwesjones]

Hey Joe! Thanks for giving it a go! Glad I could send it your way and let you try this crazy beer out. Cheers 🍻

[@averagejoe716]

Dude, it was a blast trying it out! I couldn't believe how much orange juice was in there, though. Didn't expect it. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but definitely something I want in small doses. Thanks again for the hookup, good sir! Cheers!

[@rodneysmith9378]

I'd give it a sip. I do love some carrot cake. Great review. Cheers!

[@averagejoe716]

Thanks, man! Yeah, fun to try ... but one I'd definitely share next time. Just so much going on, haha! Cheers, Rodney!

[@marcgardner8513]

This was a fun review! Thanks for the variety you offer!

[@averagejoe716]

Thanks, dude! Variety is most definitely the spice of life. I'm always reviewing different styles and breweries ... or I at least try to. Cheers, Marc!

I use to drink zero sugar sodas now I drink flavored sparkling water 💧 51° sunny 🌞 cheers 🍻

[@averagejoe716]

I tried to enjoy sparking/seltzer water, and the carbonic acid is a bit too much for me. I don't get the same sensation drinking zero sugar soda pop. I typically drink one per day -- and sometimes two -- so it's not like I'm going nuts or anything. I basically drink water the rest of the day. It's 45 F and cloudy here. Much better than the past week, haha! Cheers!

WTF? is exactly what i was thinking - wow

[@averagejoe716]

I think most people would have that response, haha! It's such a weird beer, but pretty tasty. Wouldn't want to drink it more than once or twice per year, honestly. That said, definitely a fun experience! Cheers, sir!

I cant believe its $17 a 4 pack but if its not and is less than $20 its a good deal considering its a rare hard to find style. I wonder if they use those tall, thin 12 oz cans to trick people into thinking its 16 oz cans. I know thats harsh to say but why use that style of can then. If they used 16 oz cans they wouldnt be able to sell it for less than $20 obviously.

[@averagejoe716]

I'm pretty sure it's $17/4 pack for their fruited sour beers. They used to be in 16 fl. oz cans, but there's a weird law in Georgia where you can only sell so much beer to a single customer at once, so they could never sell cases because 24 cans x 16 fl. oz was more than the law allowed, so they switched them to 12 fl. oz cans so they could do so. No deceiving the customers or anything. They just wanted folks to be able to buy cases, if they wanted to. They knocked down the price, as well. I believe they used to sell for $22/4 pack or so. Cheers, Chaz!

[@Chaz4543]

@@averagejoe716 Yeah but who wants cases of a "Carrot Cake Cheesecake Sour" beer ? Thats a single or 4 pack of a beer if there ever was one. Nobody is buying cases of that.

[@averagejoe716]

It's not so much about a case of a specific beer, but just being able to go home with an entire case of mixed four packs. Case in point, the go-to limit in Georgia is 288 fl. oz of beer, so if somebody wanted to go to Two Tides, and they wanted to get a four pack of a bunch of different beers, they would be limited to 18 cans if they were in 16 fl. oz cans (18 x 16 = 288). So, with the change to 12 fl. oz cans, they can buy 24 cans. With archaic laws like that, it's a good compromise. Plus, considering they're adjusting the price points because of the smaller format, I think it's a great idea.

@@Chaz4543 Some of the smoothie sours from other brands that I've tried are so good, I _would_ buy cases of it, regardless of price. You can't really call them beers, anymore.. the ones I've tried are essentially just alcoholic smoothies. Some have no alcohol taste whatsoever, just pure desserty deliciousness.

[@jsenigaglia]

I'm actually angry watching this right now.

[@averagejoe716]

Because you're disappointed that you can't taste the deliciousness?!? LMAO! Hey, beer can be fun, and wild concoctions like this are cool to try here and there. I've slowed down immensely on "beers" like this just because they're just too much for one person, IMO. I typically want to share something like this. Cheers, Joe!

[@hhaste]

Lol, why?

[@averagejoe716]

Joe just loves carrot cake so much, he's upset, haha! Nah, he's just not a big fan of the style and crazy beers like this as much anymore, but he also likes to joke around. Great dude. We always chirp each other.
