re: Parish Brewing, what's the deal?

Fair enough. But that's a pretty drastic change when it seemed they had locked in something that was working for them. Maybe they didn't have any choice in the matter though.

I didn't have it, but I thought people said opus 2.0 tasted eerily similar to ghost. The more likely explanation is that they tinkered with the recipe to try and differentiate the two beers.

Hops are harvested all at once and then packaged. Most are turned into pellets, which further homogenizes them. Sure, there's a certain terroir to hops that affects a few things from year to year (like Amarillo a few years back), but for the most part they are just like most modern agricultural products in that they are bred for consistency.

As a brewer myself, hops are harvested all at once for the most part and are either processed into pellets or packaged as whole leafs. For GiTM to go from very hazy and juicy looking to crystal clear would be Parish: a) inconsistent filtering technique b) experimenting with different filtering c) using a fining agent d) small tweaks to the grain bill (ex: adding wheat flour for NEIPA haziness which is what was done to OV2.0)

Ruth's Chris can charge a premium because they deliver a superior product that is consistent.


If you're gonna charge $72 for a case straight from the manufacturer, you better give your customers what they're expecting, not a case of low-rent Andygator

I know for a fact multiple people at parish monitor this website like a hawk. Not just Andrew.

Hey Andrew.

You and your chihuahua don't scare us

quit kissing that Parish arse baw, they made a shitty batch of beer unlike any other batch they've made, don't be so mad...... Criticism is a good thing sometimes

I hate to say it but this is accurate. I'm not sure if deciding to make it a semi regular brew has effected it or not. My take is that they are trying to cash in on the buzz they created and ended up killing the gains they made.
