Is it wrong to be drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from a discrete coffee thermos during a two hour Zoom work conference call? Asking for a friend.
Only as an offence against good taste; personally, I prefer a proper beer glass, but I fully understand that - in these circumstances - this might pose some difficulties and may invite unwanted and unwelcome observations, questions and comments.

I heard that the taste was great.

I don't think I've ever purchased Tsingtao outside of a Chinese restaurant. It does taste pretty good in that context, that's for sure.

I do occasionally buy Japanese beer outside of a Japanese restaurant. Hitachino Nest White Ale is quite good: the coriander notes are much more subtle than the Cape May White I recently purchased. Their label art is next level, too.

Well, they had come with an Asian (Thai, I'm pretty certain), takeout from some months ago; I usually buy a few Asian beers with Asian food, and don't always drink (all of) them, then.

Actually, I like to have a few to hand - in reserve - for when I am cooking Asian dishes.

However, I did remind myself to take a long, hard, look at the (very difficult to find and see) expiry dates, and realised that it would be a good idea to drink them - for, I can always order more - rather than allow the date to expire.

Belgian beers will keep forever; not so, some lager style beers.

Has anyone ever tried - or come across, or encountered - Erdinger Urweisse?

I spotted it yesterday - and, as I had never encountered it before - (and couldn't read the German Gothic lettering on the label with my bespectacled eyes), I decided to forego making a purchase and engage in some online research (which takes the form of reading reviews, including taking a look at what BeerAdvocate, and Rate My Beer - among others - have to say) instead.
