what's /ck/ drinking now? any beers you've gotten into lately?
This shit right here my man.
>>7074809
Miller high life. About 7 pints a night.
>>7074809
Tried this recently, bretty good
Currently on an international student exchange, so I don't have a proper glass. This shit was great. Worth the price just for the smell.
>>7076853
Fucking rotation EXIF data, this photo looked normally on my PC
Last year's Narwhal, drinking really nice.
Just finished up some Stone Coffee Milk Stout
Meh, easy drinking but nothing spectacular, pretty average, nothing stood out
7.5/10
Drinking this stuff. One of the best US pilseners I've had, if not the best. Fairly priced too.
What does pouring beer in a glass do? I've always drank straight out of the bottle/can cause why dirty up a glass
fucking delicious
>>7077115
Lets the smell of the beer come out more and smell is the majority of taste. Plus it looks nice. Some beers are better in the can or bottle though, I think.
>>7074809
6/10 would drink more
Currently on a student exchange trip to the Czech Republic for a few months, the birthplace of the modern pilsner. So for the last few weeks I've been trying to taste as many pilsners as possible.
The beer here tastes amazing. The weird thing is, even the very cheap beers still taste good. The beers usually cost about 0.5 euro for half a liter, so its amazing value for money
>>7077264
Czech beer is my favorite European beer.
It's Shiner, so it's drinkable, but nothing special.
>>7077295
You ever have the shinner prickly pear cactus one? One of the all time summer beers ever. I went camping in the Texas heat and I went through like 2 12 packs In a day and half.
>>7077295
Had that today...As you said its Shiner so its decent. Stopped and grabbed some Rodeo Clown on the way home. Also have a few Real Ale Hans Pils i'm going to finish tonight.
>>7077306
That beer tastes like artificial shit...No offense but its terrible. I took one sip and poured the bottle down the drain.
>>7074809
this one's not half bad
>>7077317
You sound like a dick
>>7077368
Celebration ale always seems to come and go so quickly. It's sad
You should all try this
>>7077425
Yes it is. Such a good ale. I wish it were available year round, but that wouldn't make it a treat for the holidays. May have to go to the local liquor store and see if I can purchase a few cases. Also, I picked up the Miller High Life because I was feeling some day drinking and was tired of Coors Light.
>>7077469
Good stuff. I used to drink that a lot a few years back. Firestone Walker is one of my favorite breweries. Wookey Jack has been my jam lately.
>>7077469
The only DIPA I buy anymore is Surly Abrasive once a year
>>7077425
If it really is a fresh hop beer, it only will stay stable in the bottles for a couple of months. Hence why you can only get it for a little while after the fall hop harvest.
>>7074809
Do I have bad taste if I think this tastes almost like nothing? Its bland. Im trying to get into beers but all the ones Ive tried have been boring. Granted Ive only had the "typical" American ones like busweiser, coors, yuengling, but I heard Boston Lager had quite a good reputation even among beer snobs. But I dont see it.
I had a sip of an IPA once, and it seemed to have a lot more flavor.
>>7077795
Unless you drinking almost flavorless beer flavored water like light beer I don't see how you could think that and even I could easily tell the difference between light beers. Beer is generally a pretty boring comfort drink. Unless you go for something specifically flavorful like a nice craft beer or whatever else is strongly flavored all over it's not going to be amazing unless you really like said ordinary beer.
>>7077795
No you're just new to beer and don't pick up on subtle flavors as well as others who have been drinking it for awhile.
Just drink whatever tastes good, brah.
>Drinking beer
>Not putting hops, water and a splash of vodka in to a blender to create the ultimate hoppy beverage
Seriously, when will muh IPA meme be over?
>>7077264
Yep, Central Europe has the best cheap beer, and pretty much no top tier beer
>>7077795
Sam Adams really isn't that great. It's always reminded me of beer-flavored soda and just about everything they put out has the exact same body. They have a special place because they were one of the first microbrews to break into the market. Nowadays they can hardly be called a small brewery and honestly they're kind of mediocre at best.
>>7077894
Sam Adams is great compared to Bud Light or Budwieser, but yeah, there are an incredible amount of better things readily available in america
>>7077795
You must be 16
Boston Lager is pretty distinctly different from conventional lagers
>>7077940
The only people I've seen buy icehouse are angry old alcoholics
I only drink these anymore
It's a grapefruit IPA. I can easily and distinctively smell the grapefruit but the IPA taste is overwhelming. I think I don't like IPAs. They're too heavy and thick and all the subtle flavors are very underlying.
Anyone recommend a crisper more flavorful type of beer?
>>7078688
Arrogant Bastard Ale
>>7078795
I don't like thick full beers, they're too heavy and acidic.
I wish I had money to spend on good alcohol ;_;
I'm just stuck with buying the cheapest shit at Aldi.
And I am not gonna get a job because getting a job is what kick-started my alcoholism in the first place.
>>7078688
Pilsners or helles.
I'm looking for something similar to this.
Love the kinda licorice flavor it has.
>>7074809
this
$1 drafts at 2 places near me
>>7078955
Hamms is the superior dirt cheap beer. 15$ for a 30 pack and it's actually drinkable
>>7077754
It may not have the same fresh hop taste, but it definitely holds up and actually cellars well. I had a vertical going back to '08 last year and every one was good in its own way.
>>7078935
yes
Had this earlier. First cloudwater beer, was really nice. Nice and juicy, as any good American Pale Ale should be.
8,5/10
>>7078688
S A I S O N
>>7078688
IT'S OVER, BALLAST POINT IS FINISHED & BOUGHT OUT
>>7080110
approved!
Anyone has info on the upcoming Chimay Blue Oak Aged? Nothing on their site...
>>7078935
Try Old Rasputin. I'd also recommend trying the Yeti variants too, Oatmeal Yeti and Espresso Yeti are very good. If you're in California, the chances are you can maybe get a bottle of Hangar 24 Pugachev's Cobra. It's my favorite stout.
Has anyone mixed 2 kinds of beer resulting in something that tasted better than both?
>>7078935
Mott The Lesser, if you can find it near you.
>>7074809
>on a business trip in west salt lake city with an lds dude
>water pale ale
I guess it's good for helping me cut down, I would be fiending harder if I hadn't made edibles beforehand.
Worst thing is I'm 2 miles away from Uinata brewery but he rented the car and I'm not on the rental.
>>7080360
It's probably entry level but I mixed Sam Smith's Chocolate Stout with some Banana Bread Beer and it tasted pretty good. I prefer just the chocolate stout on it's own but my girlfriend liked the mixture better.
>>7080272
No one cares
>>7080272
Is it so bad? If the quality goes down, then yeah I'll be pissed then but if it stays the same then who cares? Hell, I'd be glad to see more of their on-tap stuff be bottled/canned. That thai chili Wahoo is GOAT.
>>7080385
I'm with you. When lagunitas got bought out I was happy for them. I get lagunitas stuff in more places now and I haven't noticed any dip in quality yet
I'm a total beer pleb an the only kind of beer I can enjoy are IPAs
Everything else I've tried either isn't flavorful enough or is too fucking heavy like a loaf of bread
Anything recs for other varieties I might enjoy?
>>7077306
Favorite shiner.
Loved it in the family pack, and was hyped this past summer when they came out with it as a seasonal.
Not a fan of ruby red bird. Might get some holiday cheer
Picked up a case this weekend.
>>7080708
Curious, what's the point of the plastic over?
>>7080777
Not him, but that's how some 4 and/or 6 packs come nowadays
>>7080808
oh to replace the turtle killing 6 ring?
>>7080825
>Click here
I think that's the idea
>>7080825
That and it's made of recycled stuff and easier to recycle itself
>>7074809
Left hand milk stout nitro
am I allowed to enjoy this here
>>7082667
Sure, but I'm putting it out there that this is one of the worst beers I've ever had, and I'll drink anything
>>7082681
no way. Bud, Coors Light, Carlsberg are all waaay worse.
>>7082689
Not even close. Those at least don't taste like much. The heineken I half drank tasted like metal with a little alcohol. Carbonated. It was a misery
>>7082722
You must have drunk it from a can
>>7082777
Yep.
>>7077795
Try their winter ale, it should be in stores now. Its the best adams beer imo.
Not very exciting but it's bottled conditioned if you like that kind of thing
>>7083402
Thornbridge Seaforth is the best English style IPA imo
In terms of Fullers ESB BTFOs all their other widely available brews.
>>7080348
guess not...
(le secret bump)
Why is IPA considered a "trend"? Or just a dumb fad?
It genuinely does taste great, and are more flavorful than lagers. There's a reason why they took off.
>>7083731
Ales tend to be more flavorful than lagers anon.
Some people don't like the taste of pine resin, or feel like they're drinking flowers.
Others like my self hate their popularity because at times you can go to your favorite brewery and out of 20 beers 10 will be an ipa or variation of one. So for me I just hate seem so fucking many of them. I just want something different.
That is the reason I started to homebrew.
Just picked up some crazy mountain (Colorado) "fir needle" with real pine needle in it. Its kinda of life an esb with pine flavor.
>>7083731
It's a fad because many breweries just try to make their IPA's as hoppy as fucking possible
>>7083755
i'm sorry, i can't hear your lager wet tears over the sound of living in wonderful american IPA paradise.
all trolling aside, hop cultivation is easier here in certain american climates. The prevalence of IPAs might also be less about fads/trend and more that it's easier for a microbrew to get a bunch of hops for brewing.
>>7083809
It's not like breweries just see hops are cheap and decide to put extra in to get an IPA. Europe isn't not producing IPA because they can't afford the hops.
I think that the real reason for the popularity of IPA's is the horrible state of lager in the US. Microbreweries want to distinguish their beers from American adjunct lager and an easy way to do that is by brewing a style as different from it as possible. Also, making a good lager takes more work because any mistakes in brewing are obvious compared to ales.
American microbreweries can also be more adventurous than small breweries throughout Europe because of the respective markets. The breweries in Europe are old and people have expectations of what they are going to get. Most people there just want a well made pilsner. The US microbreweries are not established and a lot of the consumers are hoping to go out and find the newest best beer of the week.
>>7083777
Colorado has some really great breweries, but Crazy Mountain isn't one of them. Every single beer I've had from them had a watery off taste, like the water from canned vegetables. Or canned pine needles in this case.
>>7077795
Sam Adams is OK but isn't that good. It's what you order when you want a beer with dinner and its the only real beer on tap. I like it.
>>7078688
You'll love kolsch style ales or pilsners
>>7084232
You said kolsch, but we know you meant alt.
>>7078684
Hey Pinkie...
>>7078684
bro that shit made me sick. And I regularly drink Taaka.
Indulging in one of these at the moment, pretty good desu. Really dry finish though
>>7080825
I always thought it was to keep dirt and stuff of the tops of the cans since people are gonna put their mouth there.
>>7074809
im drinking whatever the fuck im drinking. it aint none of your goddamn business
>>7074809
Lagunitas brown shugga. All day every day from the Chicago brewery. So sweet. So tasty.
>>7077149
which beers are better in the bottle?
Had this yesterday. Aged in LAWS barrels. It was bomb. 8/10. $8.99 retail, would buy again.
Pretty good, and it's getting better with every glass. I think it's the flavor and not the alcohol content, though.
>>7087948
I didn't like this one when I tried it, but it might have been because I was very hungover. I'll give it another try and it'll probably be better now that I know someone really likes it
>>7087983
I have a couple personal preferences but a good example is Heady Topper
>>7088048
that one is really good. maybe not worth $20
>>7080443
try sours
drinking alpine nelson tonight. really taste like rye. it's very good but too expensive
Pretty disappointed in it to be honest.
Glad there was only 3 of them in the 12 pack.
>>7088600
This is the beer thread. Not the faggy girl drink thread. Now get the fuck outta here you frail piece of shit. Fuck you.
>>7088783
Cider is good, brah. I'll only drink local stuff though.
>>7089274
Put down the bottle. You don't need that. We need each other
>>7089274
What the fuck
American beer? Is there such a thing? I thought this was a legend.
>>7089274
Whilst you are a colossal anus, I must agree that IPA is for plebs.
>>7088783

Does anyone know good beers someone woth celiac disease might enjoy?
Nice enough German Pils.
>>7089781
Cider
>>7089781
I've tried New Grist and it's okay. I've bought my gf (who has celiac) a bottle of St. Peter's from the UK, but she never ended up trying it. Some beers like Corona fall under the 20ppm limit, but are made from barley so can't be technically called gluten free. Some gluten free beers like Omission are made from barley, but have had the gluten removed through some process. It's up to you if you want to risk it.
Very hoppy black ipa. Still get some of the dark malts so i like it!
Had this one yesterday, I think I like it even more than Gulden Draak, which has been my favorite for several weeks.
>>7090380
And this one today. Not bad, but nothing too special.
![2101-l[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/FjfPzZH.jpg "2101-l[1].jpg")
I drink too much.
>>7090131

![Troegs-Troegenator[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ylb8T9k.jpg "Troegs-Troegenator[1].jpg")
This is literally the first beer I ever had when I turned 21 (excepting the Heinekens and Hoegardens I sipped at my parents' parties as an underagedb&, since I hated the taste at the time). Figured it was time to revisit it and see what I think, now that I can handle the intensity.
7/10 tastes like someone poured a barleywine into a bowl of Raisin Bran instead of milk, pretty damn decent.
Pic related all day errrday
>>7091464
Tastes like shit but to be honest I cannot really explain why. I just prefer Bud, I guess.
I'm drinking a 40oz of malt liquor right now. I've got a problem.
![image_thumb[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/oQPg0pr.png "image_thumb[1].png")
the liquor store near me lets you build your own sick-packs, so I can get six new flavors without having to devote myself to a full six-pack.
First up is "Our Special Ale 2015" from Anchor. Both the nose and the taste are very spice-heavy, and the dominant flavor seems to be a minty gingerbread.
>>7074809
stopped drinking S.A. since this douchebag showed up in their ads
yah blew it Madison Avenue
![9025484_orig[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/G8z3zUN.jpg "9025484_orig[1].jpg")
>>7092660
Next is Innis & Gunn "rare" oak-aged pale. I expected to hate this since I'm not a fan of whiskey, or anything oak-aged in general, but it seems to work really well with beer (especially Rodenbach). The bitterness of oak helps to mellow out the malt-heavy sweetness. It didn't blow me away but I could drink this again.
![taste-test-habanero-sculpin-00[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/782rWAL.jpg "taste-test-habanero-sculpin-00[1].jpg")
>>7092674
This is the one I had yesterday. The habanero pepper drowns out all the subtlety and complexity of the underlying beer flavors, but that's okay, really. The heat was at a perfect level; it was sharp, but the finish was short, so it wouldn't make you sweat too badly.
I will definitely pick up more of this in the future.
>>7090844
Got stuff to share?
This was decent enough, but not as good as other Tiny Rebel stuff. Had a slightly odd/chalky aftertaste, wasn't a fan of that bit.
Having this right now.
>>7080348
I wonder if you can buy a barrel like those.
![Yards-Brewing-Company-Thomas-Jefferson-Tavern-Ale[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JvMkXgP.jpg "Yards-Brewing-Company-Thomas-Jefferson-Tavern-Ale[1].jpg")
>>7092679
I'm back from work, so it's time to start drinking again :^)
next up is Yard's "Jefferson tavern ale," whose label boasts both honey and rye flavors.
This is my favorite of the bunch so far. It tastes like one of those honey-wheat pretzel sticks you can buy in any cheap supermarket. There's a drying aftertaste, so none of the malts or added flavors feel cloying.
Speaking of Sam Adams, this beer is fantastic!
Listbro here. Finally finished it so now I can go back to drinking actual good beers. This is an IPA that the bar collabed with a brewery and made. Very citrus-y and pretty good. Proceeds go to one of the bar employee's kids who has leukemia :(
Also today is my birthday. 27 big ones...
>>7093560
>Listbro
explain
>>7093563
Used to post in these beer threads a lot and the bar I go to has a list of all ~200 of their bottles and drafts. I chronicled my journey and posted pics of all the bottles I was checking off the list. Now that I'm done I get my name on the wall and a personalized mug. Spent a lot of money here but I like it. Haven't really posted much since I finished the list a bit ago.
>>7093577
Oh, cool. My bar has a list like that too, but 80% of it is IPAs so I would get bored fast.
Which ones did you end up really liking, and wouldn't have tried otherwise?
>>7078650
We used to drink it when I was in the Corps, but only because it was cheep. We were angry young alcoholics.
![Boulevard+Tell-Tale+Tart+1[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/q9p1wjk.jpg "Boulevard+Tell-Tale+Tart+1[1].jpg")
>>7093515
This one's great if you like sours, but don't believe them when they says the sour flavor "suggests rather than announcing." There's nothing subtle about it, even if it's milder than, say, Festina Peche.
I like sours though so of course this is damn fine to me.
>>7093587
Well I wasn't a huge fan of IPAs before but I really like them now after having to drink so many. Also probably never would have ordered any of the Belgian lambic/fruit beers that are actually pretty tasty.
![Blue-Point-Blueberry-Ale-1[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/G0B3u9T.jpg "Blue-Point-Blueberry-Ale-1[1].jpg")
>>7093602
And as the grand finale, a fruit beer.
The many online reviewers aren't kidding when they call this a "blueberry muffin in a glass." What starts as a very bland pale-ale gives way to the most subtle and teasing of fruit flavors I've perhaps ever tasted in a beer. This is nothing like Rubaeus, which overloads one's senses with raspberry.
Overall while I didn't hate any of the beers in this 6-pack, the ones I want to buy again are the Habanero Sculpin, the Jefferson Tavern Ale, and the Telltale Tart.
>>7093614
I have to be in the mood for them desu. Now that it's getting colder, citrus flavors are becoming less complimentary.
Any brands that really stand out in your opinion? I finally got around to trying some Stone IPAs after I saw them in a documentary, and they're a lot better than the Lagunitas beers I typically frequented for my hophead fix.
This one is ok...
Definitely had much better sours
>>7093621
Well I'm from Michigan and we have a surplus of breweries. Everyone knows founders and bells but Saugatuck has some great offerings, including my favorite, the Neopolitan Milk Stout, which this place has on nitro. So good. Also found I like a lot of beers from Deschutes, namely the Fresh Squeezed IPA.
>>7092679
Had this and I felt the habanero taste just killed the buzz and made it impossible to drink, not for me even though I like spicy
Going to buy some beer tonight.
What should I get? Im in the mood for something kinda flavorful, so Im thinking an IPA or something. I also dont like fruity/citrusy beers or chocolate ones. Just pretty tasty great beers. I live in PA if that makes any difference

>>7090386
Today's beer. Very dark and opaque, coffee flavors, not a fan.
Went to Tall Boys in Leeds. Couldn't take much back but picked up a Brouwerij de Molen Rasputin imperial stout, Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon imperial stout, and their own exclusive Northern Monk collab IPA
A Belgian customer from where I work made good on his promise and was able to sort us out for a few bottles of Grand Cru Rodenbach, so picked up one of those today

Holy shit why isnt this more popular? Amazing taste, hoppy but not too much and pours beautifully.

How does one go about getting special/seasonal beers, is it a list you sign up on like a year earlier with the amount you want, or something?
Got a whole 12 of these after I got a taste from a variety pack.
I think I posted the variety pack previously ITT, but a mod banned me and deleted all my posts.

>not understanding that since the advent of refrigeration, many beers have been brewed specifically to taste better cold

I think they're still technically craft brewers, just the 7th or something largest one. I'm a fan of their wheats.
An American here interested in trying out some "real ale". Any idea what to get?
>>7096296
no beer is designed to taste best near freezing
You really only want this with near flavorless lagers as it depresses the terrible carbonated water flavor that takes over as it warms
But these aren't designed to taste good cold, they are just designed to be as cheap to produce as possible and as a result do not taste particularly good
>>7096312
is that GRRM?
>>7096312
Why do english people have such low ABV beer?
>>7096294
England.
A 330ml bottle costs me less than £1.
>>7096322
Pub culture.
I think ts a very British thing to go to the pub and drink pint after pint of beer all night. A lot of middle aged men will drink 6-8 pints whilst socialising, but not want to get wasted and make a fool of themselves, and still get up for work the next day.
>>7096312
What do you have available?
>>7096338
Honestly, I don't know. I was thinking of asking people here for suggestions and then seeing if I could import it online. But perhaps I should do more research first.
>>7096330
Expensive
>>7096312
wtf are you taking about "real ale."
where do you live?
>>7077264
Welcome to European standards.
>>7096351
I have a bit of experience with real ale. I grew up in a pub, worked in a lot of pubs, managed a few, done a little consulting work for a few, although mostly about food.
Some real ale brands are national. You will find them in pubs and supermarkets up and down the UK. And then there tends to be semi-local breweries, although they are available across the UK, typically stocked in pubs local to where they are made since they dont produce the volume to sell all over the country and it also becomes more expensive due to transportation costs.
So when it comes to suggestions, a lot of people will probably be able to tell you about the larger breweries, and then have ale local to them that others dont know so much about.
Champion is literally one of the only good things about living in this piece of shit town.
>>7096387
Europe has less shitty cheap beer, but good beer is very tough to find
>>7096397
Id also add, the bottled version of a real ale can be quite different to the tap version. Personally I find the tap verson to be much better.
Something to get you started that may be available to you is Fullers London Pride. I normally drink from local breweries if I can, whereas this is available all over. However, its a pretty decent beer
>>7096397
Obviously you're from America you dickhead. The US is a pretty big place, so you need to be more specific if you actually want help.
>>7096367
You think thats expensive for a 7.5%abv beer?

beer is much more expensive in britain than america. There are plenty of great American beers in the 6-8%ABV range that sell for about $8 per six pack of 355ml bottles
>>7096413
If everything is great, nothing is great.
>>7096458
A big reason American makes almost all of the worlds best beer now is how shitty all the macro beer is. When your beer is merely pretty bad like in non-belgium europe, that incentive to create new better things just wasn't as strong as it was in america at the peak of consolidation in the 80s
My head hurts from drinking too much last night. Is it that bad to have 1-2 beers tonight?
>>7096474
no, one or two beers is almost always a healthy amount to drink. In fact averaging 1-2 beers a day has been shown to be better for you than abstaining from alcohol
I literally haven't purchased any other beer in 8 months.
>>7096473
I think I paid around £0.80 for a single bottle. Pretty reasonable imo.
When buying decent beer/ale, most supermarkets offer 3 for £5, but they are normally 500ml bottles. Craft beer starts at about £2 for a 330ml bottle.
I like celebrator. Its got a nice flavor profile. You get flavors like raisins, caramel, and tobacco in it. I think its a great dopplebock.
>>7096477
Even after drinking a shitload the night before? So the body doesn't need time to "cool off" from heavy drinking?
I really hope that's the case. Last night I tried some new beer, it tasted great and flavorful but I didn't know it was 9% so I got drunk as hell and my head ached like crazy when I woke and still does
>>7096496
>I think I paid around £0.80 for a single bottle. Pretty reasonable imo.
Fair enough, that's not bad. £1 = $1.50 USD, for what it's worth.
>>7096472
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
>>7096524
What part of my post are you even contesting? You are gonna have to be less ambiguous, I don't even think anything I said could really be considered controversial
>>7096524
>American makes almost all of the worlds best beer now
I'm just guessing that this is what he was referring to, and I don't disagree with him. I do agree with you that the shitty macrobeers have led to all the experimentation in American brewing today though.
>>7096542
>I'm just guessing that this is what he was referring to, and I don't disagree with him
I just don't see how anyone could disagree with this in 2015 unless the only american beer they have tried is Bud
>>7096501
Yeah, that one is pretty cool. I tasted this interesting sweet liquorice as an after taste. Would drink again.
Modelo
>it' shit
Add some lime, fαm
>it's less shit
>>7096571
Negra Modelo is usually the best choice at mexican restaurants (which typically have amazingly bad beer selections)
>>7096579
I usually get Pacifico when I get Mexican food.
>>7096554
Do anyone other than Americans say its the best?
I've not been hunting for it that hard, but I do keep a look out, and I hardly see any American craft beer in the UK which is a shame. Craft beer is starting to take off here, and I would have thought it would be more common to find American beer by now. Perhaps im not searching hard enough though. I guess im not missing out too much since I dont like really like IPA, but I do enjoy porter/stout and some of the American versions look great.
>>7096590
>Do anyone other than Americans say its the best?
Yes, pretty much everyone who has tried a lot of the best beer around europe and america does regardless of the person's country of origin
Most of america's best brewers do not export though, so a lot of europeans have only been exposed to the multinational companies selling fake american beer like Budweiser (actually sold by a belgian company)
When I was in London back in the spring, I saw some american brews popping up, but I tried to drink just local stuff so I wasn't paying much attention to which american ones were available. I know I saw Founders there, definitely check out their Breakfast Stout if you see it
>>7096606
don't bother arguing with Euros about beer.
They like to pretend that Budweiser represents all beers in the USA, as if we should also pretend that Bitburger represents all German beers
Probably my favorite cider
just opened a Tinman Brewing Company Apricot Sour. I think its great, but I also love the Sour Ale style altogether
>>7096482
I'm a Unibroue fag.
Good choice
>>7096448
>Oregon
Yet you can't find good beer.
You're hopeless.
>>7096652
For a long time it did represent all American beer. And as already mentioned, US craft beer isnt being distributed very much outside of America. So its easy to see why perceptions havent changed.
>>7096673
I find plenty of great Oregonian/American craft beer. It's just UK "real ale" I'm looking for as part of me trying all sorts of beers from around the world.
>>7096448

>>7074809
ive got three more of these left in the fridge and im about to step out and buy more beer because i am an alcohol and its destroying my family.
ill prolly just get one big one instead of a six pack, anything in particular i should look out for? i usually like stouts but im gonna be grabbing dinner too so i dont want anything heavy.

Most of the yeti variants are amazing. If you can get prairie (bomb, noir, variants) near you they're great too.
>>7083777
weird.
>>7088048
Halia is better. All goose island sisters are pretty good, expensive for what they are though.
>>7090131

Clown shoes makes too many stouts, but all are pretty cool.

Neat, I didn't know revolver was bottling.
Me, I'm enjoying Evil Twin finally coming to TX tonight.
>>7080808
these things are annoying as fuck
>>7096931
desu it really is. I only tried a couple of their enjoy by series but they really stepped up their IPA game.
>>7077469
Great stuff.
I live in Germany and only get it from one place in my area. It costs around 15 dollars for one 0.7 liter bottle.
>>7096981
why the fuck did I type desu fuck
>>7074809
I tried Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold Rum.
Found out that rum is pretty disgusting
>>7097002
thats a mighty fine beer as well
Is it bad to drink 2-4 beers every night? Am I alcoholic?
>>7097095
2 no, 4 borderline
>>7097095
I only consider alcoholism if you drink more than 2 beers before 12PM. Normally I try not to drink around noon unless I'm at a beer festival. I wait till around 5-6PM to start drinking on weekdays.
>>7097005
That's like trying coors light and saying all beer sucks
>>7096931
yup me too. i was able to get blood n honey pretty frequently when i was up in denton last year and a half ago and i think it just recently started getting sent elsewhere (im in austin now, pls no bully)
also, its neat to see all these texas beers in here. karbach has been pretty good to mei cant remember anything from them that sticks out too much but i can dig it. and ive enjoyed pretty much everything from real ale. if anyone out there ever comes to austin you should check out oasis brewery its really nice.
>>7096409
i want this. i love shower beers and im glad this company is recognizing the demand.
>>7093951
blaecorn is really good. i just bought flight of the angry beast which is imperial stout blended with barleywine ale.
might be good? we'll see.
>>7097105
How does a 9% beer factor into this equation?
