Beer - when to drink by
't drink them – beer doesn’t turn skunky unless exposed to sun (not just heat). And if you get skunky beer, ask for a lime to cover it up – that’s how that wonderful tradition got started.

Kafe 421 (MSP)
, but it was skunky. They took it back and got him a Polish beer. My friend ordered the Salmon Fettuccini. She LOVED it. I took a bite and it was tasty. Very spicy and creamy. The fish tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. I...

Recommendations for ordering gift?
something nice since they have never heard of it, was told it was exotic by a beer shop, or just picked up a sampler pack. So many times its skunky green bottled lagers from around the world or some crappy gift pack of old beer...

the Fish Market Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria
Union Street Public house has better surf and turf (at least it isn’t skunky, like what they peddle at Fish Market). Heck, I’d rather go to Portners and they’re pretty weak except for brunch.

$3.99 Malbec @ Grocery Outlet, Salinas
better than I’d hoped. This wine would be a pretty good value at the MSRP of $9, making it a screaming buy at $3.99. The initial nose is a little skunky and reductive, but cleans up in a couple minutes after some swirling...

beer for the beach
agree with Josh, and the worst bottles are the greens, like Heinekin. I’m not a huge fan, but their beer tastes much better from a can. their bottles produce some awful skunky stuff. the other factor is that cans and their...
