What are you drinking? What are you looking for? Talk beer.
Had this for the first time today after hearing a lot about it. It's almost offensively drinkable.
My wife suggested they should be brewing an imperial version in celebration of Pokemon turning 20, and call it, "Mootwo."
>>7370612
At work so nothing yet, probably go home and drink my alaska pale ale, or look through the liquor store to see if they have stouts.
>>7370612
I got some of that not your father's root beer at the store today. It's pretty good I guess, just really sweet so I don't feel like I can drink more than one or two of them before switching to something else.
Just got back from the bar.
Tried Dogfish Head 60 Minutes. I'm not a fan of IPAs but I've heard nothing but people worshipping Dogfish Head, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm still not a fan of IPAs.
Tried Shiner White Wings. Nice fruity beer.
Tried St. Arnold Weedwhacker. It was fantastic. I drank it for the rest of the evening.
>>7370634
It's definitely my favorite of the alcoholic rootbeers, but yeah, it doesn't scratch the same itch as beer. It's like rootbeer with bite and buzz. Which is great and all, but not the same.
>>7370612
>My wife suggested they should be brewing an imperial version in celebration of Pokemon turning 20, and call it, "Mootwo."
please tell me you promptly slapped her and told her to stfu afterwards.

Abita's bayou bootlegger root beer is supposed to be the best, not too sweet and no boozy aftertaste. I haven't had the chance to try it because the closest place that sells it is 50 miles away.
Guys, on the fucking real tho
Why is beer so fucking based?
It's like sex and pizza
Bad beer is still (usually) enjoyable while God-tier smashes your expectations and blows your mind with how good it can be

>Finding the earliest misquoting of Franklin is of course very difficult. When I search LexisNexis, the earliest I find for the “beer” version is Beverage World, Feb. 1, 1996. It makes sense that the transition from extolling wine to extolling beer would happen in the era of Homer Simpson. Can one of the ace researchers who regularly comments on my postings here push it back further than 1996?

Got this in a trade. Absolutely wonderful. Very strong cab sav profile with currants and some chocolate on the finish. Glad it lived up to expectations.
can someone explain to me why i keep drinking despite it making me feel horrible every day
why does my body go "hmm lets have a lot of beer, maybe this time wont be so bad" and the next morning i always regret it. why is my body/mind so stupid?

They actually did an imperial version with coffee and vanilla called Tiramisoo-hoo that was very delicious. My gripe with tasty, flavored porters is always the lightness of the body.
I'm in Florida, so I get based Funky Buddha porters all the time, but the imperial version is always amazing. Last Snow and Nib Smuggler are two of the best rated porters in the world, but the imperial versions: Snowed In and Nib Slip are literally God's vagina level good.
The liquor store I went to had one of the largest shipments of Bourbon County Stout in Florida.
>>7370857
I've been on 4chan way longer than I've been on reddit. I've been on /ck/ far longer than you, newfaggot.
Fuck off and kill yourself.
>>7372070
Old Rasputin is year round and is rarer in Florida than Bourbon County right now. Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout is dropping across Florida next week. Be on the look out, seems like it'd be up your alley FL-brah.
I was in Total Wine on black friday and they were letting people buy BCBS by the case. The TW by me didn't sell out for about a month.
>>7370612
Terrapin Moo-hoo is one of those beers that are amazing at the first sip but before the glass is over you'd much rather prefer a more 'real' traditional stout.
>>7372098
Any info on Funky Buddha Last Snow? I know it comes out this month, but I haven't had much luck in finding it.
>>7372070
Fuck you. Had the '14 BCBS on tap at my local the other week and it was like lapping up Jesus' cum. But I'll be damned if I drive to every liquor store in the state looking for it. Did hear something about some of their '15 releases being infected though.
>>7372098
>tfw living just a few miles from Weyerbacher
Going to get my case at the SMS release tomorrow.
Barrel aged beers are stupid.
>>7372186
Ur stupid
>>7372198
Nope, just don't care for adding bourbon flavors and wood shit to my beer. I'll drink my eagle rare straight, and enjoy my beer fresh.
>>7372151
A restaurant near me has it. I'm thinking about dragging my wife there for lunch.
Other than that, no dice. Between that and Left Hand Hard Wired Nitro being shipped to Florida two days ago, I'm checking liquor stores daily right now.
>>7372201
Good for you.

Tiramisu-hoo was on tap at my local video game bar, but they had sold out by the time I got there. I was heartbroken. Had Nib Smuggler, instead.
And agreed on the lightness of body.
I stared long and hard at a bottle of Nikolai Vorlauf yesterday. It's so hard to convince myself to spend $11 on a bomber.
>>7372215
Thanks for sharing :^)
>>7372219
You are welcome :)
>>7370634
Enjoy your overpriced malt beverage.
Root beer + vanilla rum for a fraction of the price ...
>>7372124
Having another right now, and I think I completely agree with that assessment. It's really, really good, but after the initial impact, I'm wishing I had something like a Smuttynose Robust Porter sitting around to follow it up with.
>>7372226
It also tastes like medicinal root beer flavor, not even good root beer. It's gross as fuck. I'd rather have what you suggested right there for sure.
>>7372248
See they came out with a ginger beer too?
>mfw its $12 a 6 pack
I'm a homebrewer and have a batch on tap right now. Gf enjoys it every night and took me about $30 and an hour to brew 5 gallons of the ginger beer
I'm new to this whole beer thing... but this shit right here is great.
>>7372216
I've paid well more than that for a 12 oz bottle and not regretted it. Vorlauf is delicious, but very very sweet. I don't think it should be called a Russian Imperial at all. It's completely lacking the bitter cocoa and burnt cocoa flavors that are emblematically russian to me. Great beer, but the label doesn't fit it imo. I've had their I'm So Excited, I'm So Scared which is Vorlauf treated with coffee and vanilla and that's wonderful and the new Love Below is Vorlauf with chocolate and cherries then bourbon and cabernet barell aged. Glorious liquid.
>>7372151
Last Snow debuts in their tap room on Monday and is then being distributed through the state after. I'm sitting on some bottles of Maple Bacon Coffee Porter which is the highest rated Porter in the world right now, but Last Snow is so much better in my opinion.
>>7372228
My fucking dude. Smutty Robust has probably been in my top 5 most drunk beers of last year. Best representation of a basic American porter there is. I used to love Founders Porter until I have Smuttynose and now there's no going back.
I don't know when or how this thread became a great Porter circle jerk, but I'm definitely not mad about it.
Really nice malty ale.
Just had one of these along with some freshly fried cod.
I've been on a steady diet of beans, lentils, eggs, and protein shakes so it did a number on me.
Worth it.
Just finished a Centennial IPA from Founders, great stuff, completely outshines all the other IPA's I've had recently, that bitterness and grapefruit aroma is outstanding. Would love to get a hold of some of their stouts/porters.
>>7372650
looking out to get a hold of that one, seems to be pretty amazing.
>>7372779
> I used to love Founders Porter until I have Smuttynose and now there's no going back.
Same experience.
Whenever I see a list that has Founders over Smuttynose as far as porter, I get angry and assume those people have never had Smuttynose.
Not my pic but it's what I'm currently drinking. Schells is based as fuck
>>7372222
Yes, this is what I'm looking for. How did you know?
Not sure If I've tried this but I tried the Tap 4 or 5 and I remember enjoying the flavors very much.

>>7370790
But the drunk that you get from beer is way fucking better

That can is hideous. Not that that matters, it's just kind of jarring how ugly it is.
The beer itself is also hideous. That does, actually, matter.

>>7373479
>Meh, It's all I could afford
High life is cheaper and slightly less shitty
>>7373500
I mean that a lot of the beers only came in 12 packs, which is $30 here in Canada. Budweiser was in 8 pack which is $15 so I could afford it. Canada is fucked when it comes to alcohol. Also, my Budweisers taste pretty good this time around so I'm pretty happy
>>7373521
holy fuck
I haven't bought cheap beer in a few years, but in college 30 packs of High Life were $15
The best barleywine?
Bought a pack by Yards with these presidential themed beers. First up: General Washington's Tavern Porter. Tasty, though pretty heavy. Very drinkable. A bit too sweet for my taste.
>>7373722
Next up is Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce. Very tasty and refreshing, like it much better than the last one.
>>7373768
Is it like a spruce IPA?
>>7373768
Last one of the pack: Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale. Definitely the most "traditional" tasting, though I like it a lot. My favorite of the pack, also has the highest ABV of the three (8%)
>>7373837
oops forgot pic
>>7373780
I dont think its an IPA. From the Yards website:
>Based on Franklin’s original recipe, which called for barley, molasses, and essence of spruce, our Tavern Spruce is as approachable and engaging as was the man himself. We source blue spruce clippings from a local organic farmer, steeping them in the kettle to create this one-of-a-kind deep amber ale.
Don't know if it's just a marketing gimmick but if it really is Franklin's recipe that's pretty damn cool.
>>7373846
I only said IPA, because the only spruce beers I have had are IPAs
This one is pretty good
>>7373837
wow im a dunce
>>7373521
Jesus Christ. $11 for a six pack of craft doesn't feel so bad anymore.
Yall pumped for this years KBS? Im from ohio and ill have to call around to see if i can get it.
and here it is in one beautiful pic. i worked hard on this

Drinking this right now. I like it better than the normal Enjoy By.
>>7370656
The one thing I miss about Texas (aside from the cheap gas) was Fancy Lawnmower and Weedwacker. Super crushable beers and delicious to boot.
>>7370721
Because beer is just good. It's awesome.
>>7370766
Mah nigga, Kellerweis is the tits. Wish the brewery I worked at made a comparable hefe.
>>7373433
So glad they finally got to SoCal, it's pretty good. Their Porter is the tits, blows away any local Porter I've had.
picked up a pack of these recently, it's pretty all right
>>7370731
>tfw they'll never leave Wisconsin so I'll never get to try their Wisconsin Red.
>>7373633
Barleywine is hit and miss for me, I thought Anchor's Old Foghorn was pretty damn tasty and 21st Amendment's Lower De Boom was god awful.
Here is what I got for tonight. Been trying to open up to IPA's but stouts are my thing.
>>7374394
Leave them in your cellar (or closet if you don't have a cellar) for a year or more, they improve remarkably in my opinion.
Drinking this Red Sky at Morning tonight. It is a 10%abv saison aged in wine barrels. I like Heavy Seas and this sounds delicious but I'm finding that the high alcohol (and the high sweetness it brings) combined with almost no carbonation makes it hard to drink. The flavors are very good and the wine is actually very present in the taste but if this just had some carbonation and less sweetness it would be refreshing. This beer is in a weird middle ground and has a unique and frankly good flavor but drinking 22oz by myself is too much.
>>7372222
Love this.. The restaurant may be the only true reason to return to Munich
>>7373478
>identifies flavor
>professional taster
If I noticed chocolate in a chocolate stout would I be a professional? He literally just mentioned flavors that it spells out on the bottle.
>>7371124
Really? I hated Not your father's rootbeer when I tried it
It was basically a wave of rootbeer followed by a wave of beer, it didn't taste like there was any effort made to integrate the two flavors
Gift from one of my best friends. I wonder how it'll taste.
>>7374651
Not your father's rootbeer is the kind of beer that works for you about a 1/4 of the way down then you realize that it literally just tastes like root beer with white rum and a heaping of sugar.
My weak little stomach was not happy with that one.
>>7375404
Nice. I'm not big on Belgians in general, but I still really want to try some Westie.
Anyone else go to Be(aver) My Valentine yesterday? Here's what £20 got me

Agreed. When fresh that beer is really hoppy and boozy, which is kind of nice, but mellowed out is much better

>>7376374
Haven't had it in a long time, but still infinitely better than 99% of nitro stouts
>>7376404
Tbqh m8 it wasn't that great because the place was absolutely rammed with people. You had to queue for an hour to get in, then an hour to get food, a good 20 minutes to get any of the beers, even the fucking mens toilets had 30 minute queues.
>>7370612
>TFW your favourite Stout is only served in one chain of pubs and they don't sell it anywhere else.
Seriously, this stuff is like crack for me. It's so creamy and substantial that other 'porters' and 'stouts' that I've bought from shops and such just completely lack the right consistency and taste and just taste like the other brands of beer the company makes.
Drank this last night. Was damn good
