The point is that to the rest of the world cider *is* alcoholic by definition. That's why it's called "Cider" and not "apple juice". Unless you're in the US that is.

OP here. Also that guy. I bought the Innis and Gunn at the same time as the Guinness. Also cheap.

Did you try that Westmalle yet? I love trappist beers, they are possibly some of my favourites other than stouts/porters. Waitrose often have the Westmalle on offer for about £1.80-£2 iirc which is a good price.

If it was a cheap beer, I'd proably just drink it from whatever glass I currently have. But its not. It was around £5 ($7.50), and I have quite a few beers in the £3-£5 range as well. Seems worthwhile to wait until I have a decent glass to enjoy them at their best.

>>
>>7105059
A lot of things, you'll need to be more specific if you're talking in regards to craft beer

Price wise it's going to be a bit challenging to find something that would be actually cheap, but there are good deals

For example a liquor store near me sells Southern Tier Choklat for about 6.50 for a 24oz bomber, Choklat is about 11% ABV, so a bomber would have 4 beers in it (of 5% ABV). Have 3 of those and you'll probably be set for a night, but it would probably be near $20 total for about 12 drinks, and if you've been to college you know you can do better than that. Plus Choklat is probably something you would only have a bottle of at a time from how strong the taste is alone

But it's still better than almost any bar price wise for 12 beers of any kind, even during happy hour, and you don't have to tip

Then again I don't really buy craft beer if I'm trying to get drunk, too expensive for a drunk, plus I wouldn't be able to really savor it and enjoy it after the first few drinks
>>
>>7105056

After trying multiple cans and bottles of Guinness I can say the cans win out, I tried them both directly too, either from the can and directly from the bottle or pouring them into a glass.

The cans were the nitrogen insert ones, I didn't expect that because I've only seen that before in certain four packs. I also checked on the bottles and cans, all brewed in Ireland.
>>
>>7103117

Excellent choice OP, Innis and Gunn is one of my favourites. The Rum finish is the best one I think.

Also to those talking about clear bottles - they are all in brown bottles now.

Tried the new seasonal one? Bourbon cask or something? It is very good. The best one was the "winter beer" from a few years ago.

>>7103875
>implying growlers were ever mentioned
A growler is usually 4-6 pints (2.1 litres - 3.2 litres). A bottle is usually 330ml, 500ml, or 750ml. 5 pounds for a growler is pretty good. 5 pounds for a bottle is quite a lot.

I drink lots of vodka. That cleans out my system, and even cleans my teeth (I haven’t brushed in years, and haven’t had a cavity since).

I also eat a liverwurst sandwich pretty much every day – to counterbalance the effects the vodka has on my liver. I make my sandwiches on seeded rye (because it’s the healthiest bread), with mayo (because eggs are the best protein; I use kewpie, because the msg makes it taste better), coarse mustard (good for the white blood cells), zucchini pickles (because they taste good), and a bunch of baby spinach (just for filler; it could honestly be left out).

I also eat a lot of canned fish (mostly sardines, but also the occasional fancy smoked oysters) on saltines. They give you all your essential amino acids, and provide a nice opportunity to try out various hot sauces, which are generally very low in calories, while high in flavor and immensely prodigious to healthiness.

Aside from that, I drink large amounts of water (anywhere between ice-cold to slightly chilled) every day, always through a straw, and sometimes with a lemon wedge.

To each their own, I say, but I’m just shy of 30 and am doing better than most of you.

Not where I'm from lel. It's like $2-$3 a bottle. I personally think it's great though desu.

a) cans preserve the beer better
b) some (alll?) guiness cans have a widget in it filled with nitrogen that fills the beer with fine bubbles when the can is opened

Cider, as depicted in the image is a cold pressed apple based beverage that is non-alcoholic. It's unpasteurized, unfiltered and devoid of arsenic, something that is widely used to "preserve" apple products like "juice" and "sauce".

Juice, IS pasteurized, filtered and treated with arsenic to not only preserve it's golden appearance but to extend it's shelf-life without refridgeration.

There is a significant difference, but some similarities also remain. Europeans tend to enjoy mulled wine over the Holidays, mulled cider is something very common here (New York) during this time of year. Apples were more readily available than grapes, so instead of wine cider was substituted for this Holiday beverage.

Dry cider/Sweet cider, or alcoholic cider isn't very common place here. Strongbow started advertising in the states a few years ago, despite being a household name in much of Europe, especially in the UK and Ireland. Magners would be the most common cider in Ireland, that's from my personal experiences there, it was on tap in every pub I went to, no matter where I was in Ireland. I visited Cork for 3 months every summer as a child, as I am the only American born in my family, my parents came to NY in 1976.

So TLDR- cider isn't alcoholic all the time.

Sorry for the delay in response, I do have employment that needs tending to.

>>7106594
its actually called Bulmers in Ireland. Its only called Magners in Britain cause there was already another cider company there by the name of Bulmers when they launched there several years ago
>>
>>7105363

If you like the Westmalle, you may also like Rochefort which is another trappist beer and similar in style, and if you ever get the opportunity to buy or taste a Westvleteren 12 then you really should. Its incredible. It blows the Westmalle away.

Another beer which you would probably like and seems to be readily available is Kwak. Not too expensive, about £2 a bottle. Again its a malty beer which is what I go for if Im not drinking porter.

Beer in america is pretty cheap. Even the good stuff is cheaper than most other countries. 7.99 to 9.99 for a good 6 pack unless you're in jew york

Irish Bulmers =/= British Bulmers

2 completely different companies. thats why Irish Bulmers is called Magners in Britain
>>
>>7106729
Last time I was in Germany bottle beer was significantly cheaper than in the US. Also, in my neck of the woods good beers often go for $10.99+ for a six pack, sometimes even a four pack.

In the UK I'd say £1-£3 per bottle covers the vast majority of beer, so $2 is the pretty much the cheapest we get it

>>7106696
Thanks, I've got all the rocheforts on my shelf, I'm waiting for the perfect time to drink the 10. I've had kwak, I found it pretty middle-of-the road, I probably wouldn't get it again, especially considering that westmalle dubbel is cheaper (here)

Tap Guinness is better in almost every way, but if you want to take some to a party or whatever I usually go with the can over the bottle

That said, you have to pour it into a glass or it's just a foamy mess

It is £1.20 a bottle in Aldi. I would say that is pretty cheap.

Even £2.50 for the big bottles in most supermarkets is pretty good.

Just put one of these in the fridge to chill. £1.25 from Asda for a 500ml bottle. Its not that strong, but Bath Ales are a good brewery. Always putting out decent beers and have some really nice pubs.

Found it at the back of the cupboard with a nice little stash of beers I had when moving house and forgot about. Westmalle Dubbel, a few different types of Guinness, Whitechappel Porter and a couple of Beavertown porters.
>>
>>7109030
I was in the Bath Ales factory shop just yesterday, stocking up. It is, quite literally, up the road from me. Happy days.
>>
>>7109057
Whats the shop like?

Google maps says its 8 miles from me, so id probably go have a look if its decent.
>>
>>7109072
>Whats the shop like?

It's small but a proper shop, with it's own proper parking & entrance. Well stocked, natch.

If you can get it in your local Asda though I don't know if 8 miles is worth it; the prices aren't that amazing, but you can buy by the crate at least. Also plenty of samplers & stuff like glasses if you want to buy for other people.
>>
>>7109091
Do they do single bottles? Their online price is about £25 for a crate of 12. Asda is quite a bit cheaper when they have their 4 for £5 offer. But if they do single bottles I'd probably visit to pick up a few different varieties since the Asda selection is limited to Gem and Dark Side I believe.
>>
>>7103117
currently brewing a 30 bbl batch of DIPA. will answer questions if anyone cares... pretty familiar with the california beer scene

In that case it's worth a visit as they do all of their varieties in single bottles, so you can mix & match.

I had one of their IPAs at a festival last year, was pretty decent. Have 2 different Pale ales of theirs that I should probably drink too.

They market themselves as a "craft beer" brewery, don't know if that's a deal breaker for you.

I have a big bottle of Piraat Ale from Belgium in the fridge. Have yet to try it but looking forward to it during the Celtics game tonight. It's 10.5% and I don't have much tolerance at all so it should be interesting.

>>7109876
I Googled them, they have a Beer + Pizza place opening up in Bristol. I've just moved to Bristol from London, and there were a lot of places like that there. Some of them are really good.

I dont mind craft beer, I just dont like (I)PA very much, and looking through their range, it seems like thats what they produce a lot of.

My experience with brown ales comes from Newcastle Brown Ale which is utterly revolting and last night I had a Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale which is supposed to be really good
The Newcastle was awful and the Dogfish Head seemed to be a quality brew but still tasted bad IMO
I think it was the caramel, it made me kinda nauseated and very dehydrated
I guess it's just not for me

Newcastle is just awful, and dogfish head can be pretty overwhelming. Samuel Smiths is more nutty like a brown ale should be. Brekles brown is good as hell too. I'd give it one more shot at least.
