but a small brewery in s.d. doesn’t.even when growlers were sold.
i guess i just think fair should be fair.either bring the shit back or take out the two struises in mention.(and any other beer that falls in this category)
its pretty simple really.

They sold growlers of The Shit? If they did, I’m jealous of those lucky enough to have gotten one.

I still can’t be on your side for using Dirty Horse as a comparison to The Shit because (as far as I can tell) a big part of The Shit being eliminated is due to the fact that the difference between it and regular Speedway was the coffee used. It would be like making another listing for Dirty Horse if they switched from (XYZ) cherries to Schaerbeekse cherries for a batch.

Unless, of course, other beers using an alternate coffee, specifically this same coffee, are allowed as a separate entry.

I posit that a beer should be bottled to be considered for rating purposes.

The commercial description of the pooh and decaf state that the recipes differ from the original.
