re: FD Beer Crew: What are your favorite coffee beers?

yea i think you heard that wrong... even 50mg would be a ton for a beer. coffee beers have barely any actual caffeine in them

They might be wrong, but thats definitely what they said. One guy said it was 300mg and the other laughed and said no its more like 500.

There is someone from the board over there every day buying beer, someone ask and report back.

There's about 100mg in a cup of coffee. So 50 in a beer would be astronomical.

Not 50...FIVE HUNDRED, bro! Can you even read numbers?

I can! I was saying even 50 would be a lot, much less 300 or 500.

It is a lot but an normal (8oz) cup of coffee has between 95-200mg of caffeine

And?

Beer generally does not have caffeine. Coffee does, and that's where you would be getting your caffeine in this beer from. So you're saying that a 10 oz. pour of Reve has roughly 2.5 times the amount of coffee as an 8 oz cup of coffee? Or are they just adding fricking truck stop Yellow Jackets, or whatever those caffeine pills are called, to the brew process?

And you're saying that isn't unbelievable? Uhhhhhh...

ETA: Just got off the phone with the taproom. They said, and I quote, "There's about 300 mg of caffeine per serving."

So they are definitely consistent in their position

Doesn't seem legit to me, but...

Gonna be some pre-ban Four Loko shite going down in Laffy. Holy shite.

There's no way each one is like 600mg of caffeine. That's around 5 cups of coffee. Maybe that's how much coffee grounds go in per serving but through the brewing process it probably gets changed. Just an amateurs opinion.

How's your old man baw?

Thanks for asking! He's doing really well. He should be driving next week, and in another 10 days after that (very conservative) able to get back to work full time. I shamed him pretty hard about his diet tonight. Too many years of boudin, cracklins, and eating well. He will have the same procedure every five years or so, but knowing that decreases the cause for alarm exponentially. Docs have him on the "good meds," so his cholesterol and BP should remain in the good zone. My stepmother is a great lady, and I trust her to keep him on a good diet. That combined with him being very physically active due to work should keep him doing well. Medicine is good. We are lucky to live in a time where we know what we do and can control things like we can.
