    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...

    Kronenbourg 1664?

    1664 is lovely. That beer is all over the place in the cafe’s in Paris. Lovely beer. Just make sure it’s fresh. I’ve had some from the beer store that’s a little skunky, probably on account of being around...

    bottled water and grand central

    tastes skunky (rhyme unintentional). it’s got sort of a plastic taste to it, and i’ve never tried the kind in the glass bottles so maybe that makes a difference. a bunch of us at work often have this debate (yes, i...

    Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate-hype or great chocolate?

    that some tasters objected to as "skunky." On that limited basis, I’m leaning toward the opinion that unblended chocolate is probably no better than unblended wine. I think upside of tasting unblended chocolates is that it...

    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.

    wine by the case

    I’ll always been lucky with the cheaper wines there. In the 20 years we’ve been going there, only once do I remember getting anything skunky and they took the open bottle back. For example, they currently (as of two...

    $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...
