Erupting cans of Punk IPA, wtf?

It's brewed in Scotland. Are you south of the border?

Could be a plot.

No Punk here, I've never been keen on the stuff for some reason...having seen this thread I'm checking this lot for quality asap though

[matt666]

Are they old? I used to do a bit of home brewing and an old bottle, or a bottle that had an infection would do that

Usually happened to me whenever the can got either too close to frozen or frozen and part thawed. Can't remember which.

Brewdog is all fizz. I had their 'Zombie Cake' praline chocolate porter recently, which was about as thin and uninspiring as I've come to expect from Brewdog.

Had it myself a few days ago - 2 cans in a row overflowed after about 5 seconds of opening - not had before or since . Odd !
Happy Xmas !

Tap the can on the top with a coin 40 times. It will then be okay to open.

I'm throwing caution to the wind and having 660ml of Punk IPA to see if there really is a Scottish plot to destroy the English.



So far so good. I got the cans open without incident.

The amount of pale ale on the market now is crazy.

I blame the americans who went from piss water to something that actually was not that bad but still less than a proper brew.

As they said at the end of every Scooby Doo episode "It it wasn't for those meddling kids"

DRINK STOUT

Interesting that American IPA is available. India Pale Ale was created in England as a beer that would ship to India for the troops over there. You'd think it was a bit colonial for the Americans. Tastes all right though.

It could be a lacquer mis-spray, leaving exposed metal which in turn reacts with liquid to increase pressure.

When it happens it tends to happen to a small slug of cans which then get mixed during paletisation, depal, filling and packing, bear in mind bodies are made then filled at c5/600 a minute so a small slug could be a lot of cans!!

It's an IPA made with American Hops and yeast as opposed to English Hops and yeast, both will 'English' and 'American' IPAs will have similar bitterness and colour.

Is it just me, or are all the new IPA's just horrible fruity abominations ?

Green King IPA is what IPA tastes like, and I'm not interested in mango inspired, citrus bursting, East Coast USA, cherry punk IPA bks.

I get bought lots of the new IPAs in cans, I drink them (because beer beats no-beer) but the fruit flavours are rank




or am I out in the cold on this one?

[Hanglow]

That's pretty appalling quality control if the cans are exploding. Punk has been all over the place over the years, it's never been a consistent beer. Was an outstanding beer though when it first appeared, they brewed cask punk then.

IPA has been many things since it first appeared in the 19th century. My preference is for it in it's original form (loads of english hops, pale and clear) or US west coast (loads of american hops, intensely bitter and clear) and not really the North East type hazy fruit juice. I'd rather have a can of rubicon. I'm not much of a fan of the post-war GK IPA type which is just a fairly weak bitter and not a good one at that

My advice stop pretending to be cool by drinking these silly beers

[ericmcn]

Anyone serious about beer drinks Belgian or German beer in the correct glass, this mass produced punk stuff doesn't even come close to say a triple karmeliet for taste.

I like Brew Dog.

But you're saying I don't have a discerning palate.
