Let's get a general going. What are you drinking today, /ck/? It was hot as balls today, so I got some wheat beers to unwind with.
>>7745392
Wheat beers are the shit, what's your opinion on Hoegaarden?
>>7745411
>it ain't drinkable starts playing
I'm sorry, I don't drink horsepiss 'enpai
>>7745392
I got a variety 12 pack of New Belgium and it's not bad for $13. I had 2 Lagunitas Sucks left over in the fridge. I've been drunk for the past 30 hours.
Another excellent beer from surly. Similar to abrasive but way more crushable. This brewery kills it on the regular
Only problem is the price point (like abrasive as well) but it was worth trying
Surprised to see my local Vons carrying Oskar Blues but got a pack of Pinner and a 22oz of 805 and a 22oz of a Marshmellow milk stout from Garage Brewing. Also got some Luponic Distortion and Easy Jack in my fridge. How's everyones day?
>>7745411
Haven't tried anything by them before. Always down to try a new wheat beer though. What would you recommend from their line?
>>7745503
Going good man. Think my amber ale finally hit fg today, so I should be good to bottle in on sunday. Had some stouts conditioning for a few weeks, so they should be almost ready.
>>7745546
>amber ale
nice m8. I've been itching to brew something. Especially since its been hot. I was thinking a saison or an IPA. What hops did you use?
>>7745535
its basically just hoegaarden regular...i don't know anything else they make.
my preferred wheat beers are hacker pschorr or weiheinstephaner though. weihenstephaner hefeweiss is the absolute top tier wheat beer
>>7745568
Do the saison dude, that's gonna be my next brew. I used cascade for the amber ale. It's nothing fancy, just a basic brew from a kit I've had sitting around for a while.
>>7745586
how many barrels on your system?
>>7745577
>weihenstephaner hefeweiss
I'll be looking for this on my next beer run. Thanks man!
>>7745594
No barrels atm. My set up is pretty basic man. Really just got into brewing. I use a 5 gallon fermenter for my primary, and rack straight to the bottles.
>>7745610
you using extract or grain?
>>7745625
Extract brews so far, but I want to go all grain for my next batch. Thinking biab will be the best way to ease into it.
>>7745392
Schneider makes good shit.
Their Aventinus is absolutely delicious.
>>7745637
>Aventinus
Tried that last week. Seriously good stuff man.
>>7745632
>I want to go all grain for my next batch.
It's not as much of a pain in the ass as it may have sounded at first, anon.
Just download a good brewing program, input your data, and it'll hook you up with all the info you need to make a great brew.
>>7745392
I'm drinking Weihenstephaner's Pilsner along with the few Narragansett's I have left.
I don't know what else to talk about. I like Weihenstephaner for what it is despite it being imported. What's the general opinion of Weihenstephaner here?
>>7745653
I'm sure it's not bad. Been using beersmith for my first few brews, so I feel comfortable with the software. I'll definitely give it a go come next brew day.
>>7745657
i've only had the hefe and the dunkel, both are excellent
Im so happy. One of my favorite beers, Prima Pils is now being sold as a 12 pack. Now I dont have to feel like an alcoholic every time I buy some.
I saw this abomination while browsing around today
There actually exists people who would drink this shit?
>>7745778
My friend tried this a while ago. Said it was the nastiest piece of shit he's ever had. Saw it at the local bevmo, and now I feel obligated to try it.
>>7745502
I liked Todd a lot more than Abrasive, both are really goo but pretty overpriced
>>7745798
I don't know, I kind of want to try one of their doughnut beers at least once in my life, just to say i've tried it
>>7745778
West Coast beer is meme beer
>>7745392
drinking some anchor porter and lagunitas, they taste good together as a black and tan/half and half.
>>7745803
lel
>>7745798
I liked their chocolate stout
>>7745810
I actually saw that in the store too next to the sriracha one.
Is it good? It seemed a bit pricey.
>>7745811
It's not bad, one of the better chocolate stouts I've tried. Malt comes through with pretty strong roasted coffee, and you kind of get hit with the chocolate right after.
>>7745822
Currently my favorite chocolate stout is the one from Samuel Smith
I can definitely recommend that one
Help me not be a pleb.
Out of all beers my favourite used to be hoegaarden, and now its a basic bitch asahi.
I have had so many beers but nothing compares. What do i do
>>7745832
>lagers
wew lad, WEW
>>7745833
:^(
>>7745832
>all that pissbeer
>>7745829
Love their oatmeal stout, so I'll definitely have to give this one a try.
>>7745847
Their imperial stout is also really good
>>7745843
It's a curse.
It's probably because I'm from a place where the only way of getting craft beer is ordering it online, which is really fucking expensive and not worth it, so i tricked myself into liking piss.
>>7745851
Pretty much come to expect that if it's labeled "Sam Smith" and "stout", it's gonna be quality.
>>7745856
Truth
>>7745701
If you ever find their Vitus that shit's fucking awesome
>>7745832
Start trying the Belgian trappist ales.
>>7745959
Seconding this. If its hard to get trappist beer in you area, try expanding into different kinds of cheap stuff. Guinness got me into stouts, which in turn got me into craft beer as a whole.
>>7745411
Too sweet.
>>7745778
rogue brews straight up garbage
the dead guy ale isn't bad but they are literally a meme brewery
Just had this. Brandy Barrel aged quad. One of the best I've ever had desu. Highly recommend.
another one i had recently
if you can get your hands on it buy immediately. it's not one of those citrus or hop bombs but is one of the most balanced ipas i've ever had. so smooth. glad i got 3 of these bad boys left
>>7746042
The crappy joke being "drink responsibly"
Midwest humor.
>>7745778
That looks so disgusting.
>>7745801
I tried the raspberry pretzel one which actually wasn't terrible, but I'd never buy anything from them again
I bought a 4 pack of this stuff and it's great. Crazy hops up from, grassy, and a nice finish that was super lemony. No bitterness at all really. One of the best IIPAs I've had desu and super drinkable. Kinda dangerous at almost 10%
>>7747646
Fuck
More Bourbon than coffee to me atleast. Not worth the massive price they charge for it!
>>7747689
Yeah 50/50s are never worth the price. Ive had about 4 of these and always been underwhelmed by each. Especially since their like $27 each.
Had this yesterday. Loved it.
Who else /workinbeer/ here?
>>7745392
Blacked out for the first time in almost 6 months last night. Woke up in my car, didn't drive anywhere,
Fucking Jameson.
Drinking water and coffee for now, but I got a Great White and a Downtown Brown from Lost Coast Co. in Fort Bragg for when I feel more hydrated.
>>7747706
First time i had an chance to get them at all so i felt compelled to buy two bottles, the coffee one i had tonight and a Elijah Craig 12yo that will probably sit in the cellar for a awhile just to forget what i payed for it.
Washed the bad feelings of overpaying away with some homebrewed New England style IPA. Soon 3 weeks in the keg and this sample was the one yet so it does keep improving for awhile for sure!
Last night I drank some beers and felt awful. I had some pilsners and some IPAs. Could it have anything to do with mixing these two types of beers? Or did I just get unlucky?
>>7747724
What should I do before I start drinking again? Same thing happened to me, but not in a car. I'm all shaky and sweaty and feel very anxious. Worried I won't keep it down if I drink so soon.
>>7747752
Vomiting always makes me feel better. I'm actually not even that hungover, just a lightweight and didn't have dinner last night.
Try and drink water, your body needs hydration, if you throw it up then wait a bit. Your feelings of anxiousness probably come from still being drunk and not getting good sleep. If you feel like shit, get a wet-towel on the forehead, or take a shower if you're capable. It will pass with time, watch a movie, smoke some weed, just rest.
>>7747726
What hops you using for that one maing?
Pic related was also underwhelming btw
>>7747770
Citra and Amarillo with the Citra being dominant. Next time i will throw some Mosaic at the same maltbill.
>>7747727
I know I get headaches a bad hangover from certain ipas, sierra nevada gives me a bad hangover with a pounding headache but I still drink it.
Stouts never give me a hangover ever, must be the hops.
>>7747786
Mosaicand citra are always great and honestly ive yet to taste a bad beer (mediocre maybe) where those hops where at the forfront. Id love to do a single hop nelson ipa but nelson hops are in huge shortage in my area.
>>7747805
Not alot of stuff i have tried that use Nelson. I had a bag of slightly older hops of that variant once. The beer i made with it got screwed up in all sorts of ways sadly though so it was an mess.
Nelson and Galaxy is an combo i have read should work good.
>>7747811
Alpine beer co used to make a killer nelson ipa. Modern times bought up all the nelson hops here in cali though so either very scarce to practicaly no more nelson ipa from alpine. Shame. Galaxy is killer as a single hop beer too. Pic related
Drank Grolsch and Spaten lagers yesterday. Probably going dig into Pilsner Urquell and Hofbrau Lagers today.
Schneider weisse is one of the only Wheat beers I'll drink besides Erdinger.
>>7747819
Hmm, maybe Galaxy would work well with Citra in an oatheavy ipa. Another brew i have to try out sometime.
Pic related is what i have in the glass now, worst Lagunitas i have i had. Not a big fan of the style at all, but this one with it´s high abv without any benefit is just not good at all.
>>7747851
Some lagunitas are very mediocre for me. But it was also one of my entry beers that led me into craft years ago so ill always have a soft spot for them.
Just had this the other day. Lucky to buy an original print too.
>>7745657
First of all: I've never had it fresh in Germany so I'm only able to review what has been standing a while on the shelves here in Finland. And in my very humble opinion they're hit and miss.
I expected more from their hefe. It was true to the style but a bit insipid. Their Pilsner was very discreet (but that's how German pilsners come across to me so yet again it seemed to be true to the style).
Their weizenbock Vitus was absolutely great though. One of the best wheat beers I've ever had. Highly recommended.
>>7747883
Always liked Mikkeller. They have made some awesome beers, lately though i have started to pick up some problems with beers produced by de proef. Not just Mikkellers stuff made there but also other breweries contracted beers, i shy away from most stuff made by that contractor theses days.
Sad as i know they made great stuff for alot of phantom brewers earlier.
Best Mikkeller i ever had was the Vanilla Shake! Insane stout!
>>7747899
Ive tied a decent oortion of the beer geeks. If you see it you gotta try brunch weasel. Made with the worlds "most expensive" coffee. The beer is supreme.
>>7747913
I like beer and all, but I'd rather just take the coffee.
I had this in France and it was the shit. Those monks sure know what they're doing.
Heineken seems to be their PBR. I had it for the first time there and it was disgusting.
>>7747896
German beer. Have you tried "Augustinerbräu"?
>>7747913
I might have tried it actually, i remember the cat poo stuff, but i was to drunk to enjoy the beer for what it was i guess at the moment.
Not a fitting beer late at a group testing.
>>7747930
No unfortunately. It's not available here. Is it good?
>tfw sitting back and drinking some lagers while eating hot wings and watching the USA vs Colombia game last night
I was drinking pic related, pretty good desu.
bought a six pack of this yesterday
haven't had one in a long time
remembered it to be pretty good
>>7748040
That beer became so delicious when I drank it at the exact right temperature. I mean all beer is but the difference was especially noticeable in that one.
>>7748262
>exact right temperature
So cold the taste disappeared?
How do I deal with acid coming up my throat when trying to drink multiple days in a row? It makes it very hard.
>>7745778
I've had it. It's not terrible. It taste like an average stout and finishes a little spicy. The spiciness doesn't linger like hot sauce and that was kinda weird. It would make a pretty dank red beer, I think. It's like 20 bucks a bottle so it isn't worth the price.

I take the 24 hour kind when I start drinking.
>>7745392
drinkin some ice cold PBRs. Go fuck yourself with your micro brew "im special" shit.
>>7748947
PBR is more expensive than Genny Cream, Yuengling, Sam Adams, and Rolling Rock (not a micro brew I know) in my area.
>>7748952
How is that possible? Do you live in a hip neighborhood? It's $6.99 a 12 pack everywhere I've ever been.
>>7748952
Where the fuck is PBR more expensive than Sam Adams?
All those others I get because they are probably even worse than PBR, but Sam Adams is ok
>>7745637
I love this shit
>>7748952
Sam adams is like $10 for a 6 pack while I pay $8 for a 12 pack of pbr. I drink to get fucked, call me what you want.
>>7749244
I call you a no taste pleb
>>7749244
why the fuck would you not a buy a 30 pack if your intent was to get fucked up cheaply?
>>7749283
I'll throw a pint of vodka behind the beers. What kind of question is that in an alchy thread
>>7749294
I mean if cheap is your goal, why buy small packages when 30 packs give you such a better price per volume. Its not like it'll go bad
I've really never understood why there even are 12 and especially 6 packs of shit beer at the store
Alcohol is dangerous.
I locked myself out of my house and had to break back in. It too kme 3 hours to figure out how to break back in without damaging anything too much. (I took apart a window with a screwdriver)
>>7747851
>lagunitas glasswear
my nigga
I just picked these up after walking past them for weeks. I've never been so disappointed. I love NB and I'm not sure what I expected out of it but it tastes like a cheap lager with the smallest hint of fruit. Citradelic is a godlike seasonal NB beer though.
>>7749613
2 citradelics and 2 Heavy Melons came in the variety pack I got. I did really want to try the watermelon one, I'm glad I didn't buy a whole 6 pack of it.
Is drinking a 6 pack in one night considered alcoholic levels?
>>7749613
this shit was the worst.
I love NB too, but this was a pretty big failure.
>>7749833
no, but doing it 7 nights a week.
>>7747929
I fucking hate Grimbergen... taste like sweet beer ffs...
>>7747981
not him but recently tried it for the first time.
It's excessively drinkable. Really smooth and well rounded. On the other hand, if you want something with a bit more oomph, you're not gonna find it here. It's one of those beers you can come back to when you're tired of experimenting with wacky shit
I fear I may have developed an Pilsner Urquell addiction.
>>7749613
I got the worst hangover in memory from drinking this and eating nothing but an entire tub of pimento cheese with ritz before passing out.
>>7747805
check for hallertau blanc, apparently it's the german take on nelson sauvin
>>7749833
depends on how often you do it
I picked up a 6 pack of this shit the other day.
Absolutely disgusting. Jesus christ I literally had to pour this out. It tasted like lemony ass sweat.
What are some good starter beers?
I only turned 21 this past year, so far I've had:
>Stouts
Old Rasputin, Fade to Black, an oatmeal stout from a local brewery, Moo-Hoo, and some others I don't remember. Of these I liked Rasputin the best.
>IPAs
Punk IPA, and some others I don't recall. They're okay but not my favorite of what I've had so far.
>Other
Amerboch, didn't enjoy, your typical cheap beers, Dirty Bastard, etc
I'd like to try the best of everything, see which I enjoy best, and branch out from there.
Any ideas?
>>7750921
Also had Dragon's Milk, and didn't like it much. It was almost sweet, and syrupy.
>>7747929
>Grimbergen
Nigger Chimay is a million times better than that wannabe macropiss.
The Dubbel is at least drinkable but god damn there are so many real Abbey beers that blow the fuck out of Grimbergen.

is this beer actually good or is it just a meme?
>>7748683
Looks awesome but shouldn't the Sumatra Brown and FBS be in a fridge?
>>7751463
It's good, but nothing super special. Their other offerings are better.
>>7750880
Better in cans. Also, Sierra Nevada Gose is the least gose-like of all the gose I have tried.
We get Anderson Valley where I'm at, they have 2 Gose Ales that are much fruitier and more bitter - Sierra Nevada Gose still tastes like hoppy Sierra Nevada beer.
>>7749294
>alchy thread
Its a beer thread you tasteless fag
>>7752130
Gose aren't supposed to be bitter, which is a trait of most hops. SN did great with their gose. Briney, but fruity. Probably the best readily available and affordable gose around
>>7752599
Perhaps Sour is the word I was looking for. Regardless, this is my preference for Gose, but I still buy the Otra Vez often.
>>7752638
They shouldn't be sour either. Salty/slight tart is what a gose should go for, with a nice straw/wheat like finish. Obviously the fruit addition will change it, but that's at least what I look for in a gose. If I want sour I'll get a sour.
>>7752676
Then I have clearly been drinking Bastard-Gose ales. I'll have to seek out some unflavored, or just non-fruity ones.
They have a more unflavored one, it definitely has the salt and tart going for it (pic related). The Blood Orange one is fucking delicious and refreshing, and I still highly recommend it, though.
>>7752768
Yeah the fruit ones are a little more tart and acidic. Regular ones are more of that saltiness that I personally love.
>>7745392

I would recommend Paulaner's wheat bear. It's my favorite when I can find it.
>>7751463
I really enjoy it. It's very light, sweet and unique, especially since the market is dominated by acrid triple-hopped IPAs.
Hit the spot after a hot day. Bit pricey at $11 though.
>>7749613
Ballast's Points watermelon is fucking awful too. Avoid it. I like the grapefruit though.

But desu New Belgium doesn't have that many good beers.
>>7754729
They're both good, but if that's the best you've had you should branch out more. Paulaner makes a good hefe. I actually prefer it to the big W's. It has a slight smokiness to it that I really dig.
Just picked up a 6 pack of spaten optimator at 12:12 pm...already have a buzz off the first beer, is this stuff considered swill in germany?, in socal it's $8.49 a 6 pack and everyone I know that's tried this stuff enjoys it and I like it.

Had this tonight. My first Ale Smith beer, usually pretty hard to find in Britbongland. Very nice, fruitier than I was expecting for a red ale.
>>7745411
At first the citrus flavour is jarring, then it becomes comfortably recognisable, then it ends in the background as a kind of meh.
Not a big fan of old ales. But i guess it was alright!
"Best By" date was back in January, but still tastes pretty good. Would want to try a fresh bottle, though.

I'm having incarnation by 4 hands. It's pretty good. Not too sweet, shop it has more of that astringent quality I like in an ipa. I like making my green tea with too many leaves and will even nibble at the softened leaves and stems, so this kind of beer speaks to me.
Recently had dogfish head 120 minute as well. Now that was good. Just like my super flavored green tea concoctions, this had a great plant flavor that was edging on floral. The alcohol was prominent. It was quite sweet though, so it was easy to drink, dangerously so. The perfect beer after a day of geology field work.

Try speedway stout. It'll set the bar for your stout experiences in the future.
![Elysian-Dragonstooth[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/q2KEZVz.jpg "Elysian-Dragonstooth[1].jpg")
My father in law brought some Dragonstooth Stout to NY in exchange for some Saranac (and to visit his daughter a little, too) and I found that it's my new go-to dark beer.
I also found out that the nearest place to get it is like 2 hours away, so goddammit.
Reminder that Chicagoland craft beer is the best craft beer

Stout In Name Only
None of the "Malty, Chocolaty, Coffee" made it past the HOPPY-ness. Dumped it down the drain and will not likely buy another Elysian beer. If I wanted HOPS I would have chosen one of the many that tout hops. Very disappointing.

Not a bad stout. Looks and smells great. Taste leaves a little to be wanted though.

What other québécois breweries would you recommend? I just moved to Montreal and I have no idea where to start besides the obvious ones carried at every dep
Drinking this right now. Got a case of it from work. Super citrusy and decently hoppy. It's a dangerous DIPA though because it doesn't drink like one.

montreal microbrew/brewpub:
>le cheval blanc
>McAuslan(St. Ambroise)
>les 3 brasseurs
>la succursale
>Brutopia
>Les brasseurs RJ

Microbrasserie La Memphrée is pretty good, its from the mempremagog lake about 100km east of montreal... Lady of the Lake used to be one too, but no more.

Is oktoberfest beer a meme beer? They've got it on sale at my local supermarket and it tastes just like any other beer. Also, why they selling it in the middle of June?
>>7760637

Who /homebrew/ here?

Saison dupont has been around for ages and always bottled like that. Maine only bottles beer in 16.9 oz bottles, they aren't even remotely similar to wine bottles. Every beer maine makes goes into that size bottle
Whose in charge of naming American (craft) beers? Does every fucking name have to be some fucking ironic joke or pun or lame hipster ass shit?
>>7754410
They sell it in supermarkets here at a decent price. Nothing wrong with it.
Drinking a Terrapin Moo-Hoo and it's good. Nice balance of chocolate milk.

You didnt need to frame this as a rhetorical question anon, you can just say you're mad enough about the names of beer to post about it on the internet

i hate that queers and nerds somehow took over beer
>>7760700
I am. Wish I had room (and money) to keg. I'm brewing a Russian Imperial Stout tomorrow. I drank a ton of Old Rasputin when I was in the US so I need a good sub.

What's wrong, anon? You only drink adjunct lagers or something?
>>7762865
>Sometimes the price is worth it
Don't disagree with you there. It was mighty tasty anon. Can't decide between this or Hennepin as my favorite saison though.

Nice taste.
The wit is probably the classiest beer I've ever drank. Any thing a white wine or champagne can provide with food, the wit can do just as well.
It's reminiscent of champagne.
>>7767451
I like that stuff, but you've never had champagne
People need to stop treating wine with so much superstition. It's a real thing with specific characteristics, not just a cartoon emblem representing an abstract notion of "fancy"
>>7752638
Definitely my favorite beer, the watermelon one is almost as good, so I am happy.
>>7761805
>Whose in charge of naming American (craft) beers
Reminder that America does not have a centrally controlled economy (yet) so no one is in charge, though there is literally one guy in charge of approving them all, because the government just can't help itself from getting involved in every single trivial matter it sees

Ok, Bernie Sanders, we definitely need a bureaucrat to name every beer, you are right
Anyone go to New Glarus for their 2015 Gueuze release today, or going tomorrow?
I'm thinking of going tomorrow
had a nice leffe blonde today
also picked up a brooklyn summer ale at the store
>>7767467
i've had champagne before.
I'd say the wit is the champagne of beers legitimately.
Not the best Alesmith i have had, but it is quite decent!
>>7759293
If it's not tired it's very hop forward for a Belgian ale in tandem with the usual yeastiness. A good strong taste intensity. Flowery vegetativeness that transitions into lemon and orange peels vegetables and spices. A doughy good yeastiness comes last. Buy a big bottle and let yourself float away. But beware you need to like IPAs at least to some extent otherwise it probably won't be your cup of tea.
>>7760637
I've had some that have had a unique fresh taste of grains (Hofbräu and Löwenbräu springs to mind) and those are very good, but I've also had my share of those that tasted literally identical to macro lager. So it seems to be a hit or miss genre.
My favorite brews.
>>7768422
Karmeliet is awesome. The other two are whatever. I've never been a fan of any trappist ale though. They aren't bad, but I wouldn't buy them again.
Michigan people, Shorts just started selling here. What should I keep my eyes open for?
>>7748683

same. p boring
I've only drank vodka (stoli and ketel one) and whisky (tullamore dew, maccallan, and once tried that hibiki meme) before. My dad made sure I never went through the bottom shelf alcohol.
I went out to get myself a beer (guinness) and I'm not sure if this is normal or not when pouring.
>>7768721
It went bad. Dump it and get some left hand nitro milk stout instead. It's made in the states so it will be fresher.
>>7768721
Guinness pours in quite a special way because of the nitro widget (the ball inside the can). Buy an ordinary carbonic acid beer next and it will behave much differently.
>>7768744
This is the glass it came from, no can
