What are you guys drinking tonight?
drinking some $15 a bottle craft beer rn hbu faм?
>couldn't decide what to get
>wanted to leave early to beat traffic
Kellerweis is in the fridge, it's bretty gud.
Had this during New Years and I have a bottle left.
No work tomorrow and just piss lagers in the fridge, bad planning this evening!
Nothing tonight, I'm sick. Went up and visited pic related and Bent Paddle over the weekend though.
Thirsty Pagan had 2 sours I actually liked. One was aged in tequila barrels briefly, the other was some kettle red barrel aged thing that was even better. Didn't try the last sour because I had to drive and also had a couple of their standard beers.
Bent paddle has their cold press black ale on nitro and it's incredible. They also had a blueberry infused blonde that was even better.
>>7235681
Damn it, now I want some of that glorious stuff.
Why did I buy some red wine instead? It turned out to be shit.
>>7235736
I feel bad for you anon. This stuff is heaven with a dessert.
>>7234113
Having some pic related tonight. Trois Musquetaires Baltic Porter. Shit is fantastic, glad I grabbed three rather than just one.
>I'm poor and I just want to get drunk: the drink
question to anyone in the know about alcohol-related cirrhosis/liver damage:
is there a significant difference in the effects on the liver done by a 5% beer and a 4% beer?
it would seem like there shouldn't be, considering they're both still minuscule %'s of the beer consumed, yet there is also a noticeable difference in the inebriating effects of both
Had these two last night, pretty nice. I tried Chimay triple the other day, which was my first triple. It was delicious but I found out it was $9.50 a glass and I found this to be a decent alternative for the price.
Picked up a 6 pack off the clearance table to try out
got me a couple of six packs of these bad boys.

Never argued that senpai. Just the fallacies and anyone from Ireland calling somewhere else shitty.
I am drinking this right now.
I wish I had a better picture but I don't, these guys, Transmitter, are still pretty small and I don't think you can even get their beer outside of NY or MAYBE CT, but they supply the place I work at and I am fairly certain they had a sales rep/brewer here one time giving out samples.
Anyway, the beer is pretty good, but a bit different from what I was expecting. I don't imagine many of you are into pu'erh tea, but this beer taste exactly like aged pu'erh tea, in beer form of course.
Earthy, hay, forest floor, barns, but also some peppery spice and also some frutiness in the way of maybe apricots or peaches or something.
Weird.
>>7236730
Always in the fridge.
Coors banquet yesterday...coors light today. Best cheap beer imo.

>>7236981
are you implying strong spirits are invariably the cheapest per unit of alcohol? because you're fucking wrong if so.
>>7236975
No, I love saisons, I also love sour beers, and I also love brett beers, and I have had a lot of them, this beer is unique in how much it tastes like the last pu'erh I was drinking. It also has a sort of smokey, bitter taste, which the last pu'erh I ha tasted like.
This falls in my favorite style of beer, I think I know what they generally taste like and when one of them taste slightly or a lot different.
I can't find a beer I like. Every beer just tastes somewhere between 'kinda bad' and 'awful' to me.
Only once did I ever enjoy a beer, and that was about 6 years ago. It had a strong wheaty flavor and maybe some nuts, but I can't remember the name at all.
I've tried various "wheat beers" but none of them came close. Can someone recommend me a beer I might like? For the record I find IPAs disgusting and belgian ale to be not that bad.
>>7236563
Never visited reddit in my life, have found a love for IPA's lately and just keep trying new ones. found this the clearance table for $11. bretty gud actually
This has been my go-to lately.
I'm boring, I know.
>>7237250

>>7239324
Isn't that the brewery that makes that transgender beer?

What beer goes best with wings?
>>7239560
A local ipa
>>7239560
Whatever kind you prefer.
>>7239626
>ipa
Everytime
Why do people act like IPAs don't completely wreck your taste of anyhting but the IPA
>>7239629
Well, wings are generally strongly seasoned so it seems like a pretty good match to me. If your beer is too "mild" then you have the exact same problem in reverse--the hot sauce on the wings would totally drown out the beer.
Local place today for me lads. It's called Route 30 in Riverside, CA. It opened last Friday I think. They only have four beers so far but their pale ale is decent. I'm like 99% sure their cream stout is infected with something because it tastes like a cherry sour and not in a good sense. I feel sick.
>>7239644
Agreed. I find that pale ales and IPAs go well with spicy Hispanic or Asian food.
>tfw the Mexican hot dog place down the street has a better selection of beer than the "craft beer gastropub" in downtown

Check it out, Sonora Grill. Bomb stuff. Dat dere bacon dog.

>>7239629
You need to match your food/drink pairings. If you're eating spicy food then a strong beer will pair better.
I'm drinking Dirt Wolf tonight. It's a great double IPA (It's got more more pine flavor than fruit flavor, in my opinion) and I managed to buy some that was only bottled 3 weeks ago. I'd eat wings with it if I had them.
>>7234113
Just finished a Dr. Fritz Briem 1809 Berliner Weisse.
Bretty gud would drink again.
>>7239644
Yeah, I'm not actually an IPA fan, but I moderately enjoy them paired with something like hot wings or cajun food.
>>7240622
Oh fug forgot the pic I bothered to google for.

Didn't realize how sketchy the picture was until uploading. Oh well.
It's good, but I don't love it as much as I probably should love a, "special," beer like this. First sips were probably too cold, and it mostly just tasted of soy and spice. The pumpkin is nice and present -- and aromatic -- now that I've let it come up a bit. Still just a little too sweet for me, without anything roasty or savory to balance it out.
Good, just not great. I feel like it's supposed to be great.
>>7235851
I dunno if you get New Republic beer where you are but their Warimono is a pretty decent triple for like ~$9/bomber.
>>7240642
Yeah, we have something called a World of Beer, and something called an Ale House, and a hotel down the street that talks about having 20-something taps.
Yet the locally-owned, not-very-classy video game bar that is literally just an empty store front someone bought and put a bunch of video games in to has the best beer selection by far.

>>7239324
alri la?
>>7240687
Canadian here eh
>>7240736
Having it now at room temperature, you are correct.
I question their advice, which is 42 degrees, just a notch above my refrigerator.
That said, while it's at its best right now, and I will probably finish it later at room temp, drinking it as the flavor profiles have changed has been fun.
Now drink Cahoot's Saison.
Is okay.
>>7240786
Not even close. Texan. Just most "expensive" craft beers are like $10/4pk or come in individual bombers. Never come across a 6pk expensive enough to be $11 on clearance.
Only one beer good for me.
Drinking pic related and I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite breweries in minnesota. All their beers are solid as hell. Extremely consistent. Check them out if you're in Minneapolis ever.
It's alright.
>>7240831
This stuff isn't good for anyone
I'm drinking Boulevard's Rye on Rye 2015. I'm honestly not into whiskey barrel aged beer, but I like it. I assume a big part of that is because I really enjoy rye beers overall.
Dinner time in my neck of the woods. Has anyone heard of Ark? It's a Korean microbrewery from what the internet and the bottle tells me. This is the second time I've had this beer and it's actually pretty good. Probably my favorite IPA that I've bought in a supermarket.
>>7241363
This and pizza is my go-to maximum comfy meal
Nothing because I'm not a fucking alcoholic.
>>7241363

>Founders stuff is finally making it down to Southern California

T-The market is already too saturated here, please bring down Backwoods Bastard. ;_;
>>7241901
are you implying 80 % of the world population consist of alcoholics?
>>7243274
Backwoods Bastard is incredible. I've only had it on draft, but it was completely incomparable to Dirty Bastard which is supposedly its base.
Here are a few beers I've loved recently:
Stone - Double Bastard
Cigar City Brewing - Jai Alai (tastes like half fruit juice and half ipa if you get it fresh)
Victory - Hop Devil
Ballast Point - The Commodore
Troegs - Nugget Nectar (Haven't had it recently, it's seasonal)
Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven - La Trappe Quad
Dogfish Head - Indian Brown Ale
Last night I had two beers from 21st Amendment Brewery. They were both called He Said, and they were both pumpkin beers. One was a tripel and the other was a baltic porter. The tripel was ok but the porter was the first beer I've ever poured down the drain, and I'm fine with Steel Reserve.
>>7235681
How good was this? Looks amazing.
>>7243509
Not who you're asking but Gulden Draak is solid. It's expensive though.
>>7243513
Have you tried any Trappist beers? It looks comparable to some of them.
>>7243517
Yeah, it's Belgian. It's not gonna be like a Belgian Quad but it'll be similar.
![Sierra-Nevada-Otra-Vez-bottle-960x640[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Df7GxfS.jpg "Sierra-Nevada-Otra-Vez-bottle-960x640[1].jpg")
My first bottle of the brand new Sierra Nevada Otra Vez is pretty delicious. I wonder how it will hold up as I drink more of them but my first impression is positive. It makes my mouth water like crazy with the salt and slight sour taste. I got a 6-pack of this and the Tropical IPA today so it will be a Sierra Nevada-heavy weekend.
>>7240755
>P-Pls.
Well keep checking the dates and don't give up. That's shitty for the store to keep it in stock but people there must not realize how good (and affordable) Dirt Wolf is.
>>7243463

That's a shame. I had considered buying this one but it sounded so strange that I skipped it. Looks like that was the right choice.
>>7243837
I honestly don't understand the ratings it gets. Nothing spectacular, but it's rated as a solid beer. Did I get a bad batch? It actually tasted bad, not just not good. Like I said, I'm down with PBR, Steel Reserve, Mickey's, all sorts of mediocre beer, but this beer was off the charts terrible.
>>7243837
A pumpkin baltic SOUNDS like something I'd like.
Had this tonight. It was weird as fuck.
I can usually sort beer as unpleasant, good, or forgettable. This didn't really fit as any. It wasn't bad, but I'll probably never drink it again, yet it also was very fucking memorable.
It was just so fruity. Not in the way a good wheat beer should be, more like a Tropicana juice blend. My mouth tastes like I just had something to drink with breakfast.
Just so fucking weird. And not at all what I picture when I think of winter flavors.
>>7243926
I dunno, I'm all for putting my nose up at the ignorant masses but if beer is rated well and tastes outright bad you probably a bad batch.
>>7244014
shandy's beer mixed with a soft drink, so it would taste like soda or juice, that's sorta the point.
>>7244000
Check'em
>>7244000
I'm sure there are good examples of them, but this one was not.
>>7243463
It's a damn shame too because on another forum, a bunch of Northern California people have said that Backwoods Bastard is just sitting on shelves along with their Porter and their stouts.
>>7243828
It's weird because most of the Hop Devil that they do put out is relatively fresh (less than a month) so I don't get what the deal is. Do tell how the Tropical IPA is, it sounds like that Jai Alai mentioned before.
its bretty gud
Drinking this. It's pretty damn good. I am gonna age one and pop it open a few years down the line. It was kind of expensive though for the 4 pack though. Im out in california and some DFH stuff is really hard to come across
>>7236963

Malt liquor is a bullshit labeling used to skirt around outdated laws in some parts of the US where any item specified as 'beer' can't have over a certain amount of alcohol.

>>7244497
I got that the other night. I was about to take the 8.99 sticker off and put it in my mix and match six pack but I didn't get the opportunity. It was trash to me, I saw DFH Fort right next to it for the same price, but didn't see the ABV so I didn't get it. It probably would have been a lot better.
who /third world/ here?
drinking 1$ heineken bottles ;_;
So is pabst essentially meh-may beer now, or is it actually good?
Asking from someone who can't notice a difference between beer because I dont drink much. I mean, I ordered one at buffalo wild wings and it was good, but it didnt taste different from say, a stella artois that I drink occasionally.
Usually really enjoy Brooklyns stuff, but this one seems to have been forgotten in their basement in some bourbon barrel way to long. Very boozy!
>>7246010
PBR and Lone Star and Stella and Heineken and Kirin and Sapporo and Yuengling and etc are maybe possibly arguably a slight minor step up from budweiser et al but the difference is extremely minor. The main asset they all have is excellent quality control and extreme precision, so you know exactly what you'll get. By contrast, some small-scale local breweries can produce legitimately undrinkable beer from time to time.
>>7246010
It's good and cheap. Hamms is also a good cheap option
Classic czech taste with some hints of darker malts. Very good!
>>7245975
homebrew, guey
>>7245877
All of their stuff is horrible, way too sweat.
>>7246447
They always seemed to insist on shipping their stuff in clear bottles, then those bottles where sitting on the top shelves with maximum light at them!
Now they got brown bottles with bad beer going in them instead.
>>7246012
I find that a lot of barrel aged beers are like that. Bourbon County felt more like low ABV bourbon than a beer to be honest. The Abyss is one of the barrel aged beers that does it right, super delicious.
>>7246524
Had a veritable shitload of barrel aged stuff, some more and some less influenced by this on the taste and/or nose but this one was just over the top.
For the record best one i had was the Buxton/Omnipollo yellowbelly sundae, one knew there was bourbon tones in there, just the right amount!
If anyone wants to meet up tomorrow (Saturday) at Hangar 24 that'd be cool. Heading over there since they're rereleasing their Double Betty IPA. It's bretty gud.
>>7244387
>Do tell how the Tropical IPA is, it sounds like that Jai Alai mentioned before.
The Sierra Nevada Tropical IPA was not what I expected. The average DIPA I've had tasted "fruitier" and what the Tropical IPA really smelled and tasted like was weed. As soon as I opened it it smelled almost like someone was smoking a bowl in the next room. It's pretty dark for an IPA too and it wasn't bad but the weed scent/taste was a surprise. I'll drink more of them and have a clearer idea of it.
>>7244497
>>7245914
I bought a 4-pack of Higher Math and a 4-pack of Fort when they were available in Delaware a few months ago. Fort was amazing and worth the price (you can only feasibly drink one in a sitting anyway) while the Higher Math was a little bit too much for me. HM was good but so rich and strong that I'd only enjoy it in specific situations. I bought another pack of HM though to age for at least a year since it will be better if it mellows and I think that it will. HM is also a one-time-only thing while Fort has been brewed before and will come back so you'll have more chances to try it.
>>7246010
It's good for a cheap beer, but if you're paying anymore for PBR than say Natty Light, it's probably not worth it.
+ buffalo trace whiskey

>>7247682
They took a picture of their beer. For a beer thread. Also there's nothing wrong with going to a bar alone
>>7243926
I totally believe it's possible it was a bad batch. For example: I once had the Organic Chocolate Stout from Samuel Smith. It tasted like ass. But I have no reason to doubt ratebeer and other reviewers when they rave about it. The bottle was bad plain and simple.
Nothing, absolutely nothing. I'm on a minimum sugar, no alcohol, healthy food and workout only month.
The alcohol is no problem, as I'm not an alcoholic. The sugar and healthy food only, though... I'd love me a burger and soda. Or beer. But I crave soda more desu.

>That Tek Syndicate cup
Good form, sir.
Here's what I drink all the time. Creamy, and fantastic.
Had a lot of good beer recently.
I kind of went super heavy on the IPAs but I do love the style.
I had Victory Hop Ranch which I love and definitely recommend. It is very tropical and wet tasting, and the pilsner malt works great.
I had the Stone/Sierra Nevada colab NXS, which was surprisingly normal tasting with very minimal barrel character.
Then I had Sierra Nevada's Neomexicanus IPA which had very interesting mint and melon notes.
I also had both Sierra Nevada's new beers, Otra Vez and Tropical IPA. Both are good, though they should have called tropical IPA the DANK IPA because it literally smells like weed. Otra Vez is a good, unique gose, so easy to drink.
I also had Alpine Nelson which I had been waiting to try for a while, and it definitely showcases that tropical fruit and cat piss character of the Nelson Sauvin hop. The rye also gives it a nice, spicy character as well.
>>7250077
I bought one of those when I was in London in the summer, was pretty good
Generic red wine 2nd bottle
Miniature haul. Thank goodness for Total Wine's make-your-own six pack thing. The ones in the back are Sam Smith's Imperial Stout and Sam Smith's Taddy Porter which I haven't had before but have heard good things about them. Kitty decided to not be camera shy for once.
>>7246555
>British beer
I'll probably never get the chance to try here down here in Southern California but "bourbon tones" sounds right up my alley.
>>7246915
Oof, sounds intense. I do like hoppy IPAs but when they get into "dank" territory it becomes a bit much, at least for me.
>>7247159
Oh baby, that's one good oatmeal stout there.
>>7249877
Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout is really nice. Low-ish ABV and it tastes really darn good to boot. Another good one is Oatis from Ninkasi, it's criminally underrated and there's a vanilla version of it that's just as good.
>>7250480
Yeah I picked mine up in east London.
Its well worth buying again. Id sooner have fewer, more expensive beers than more cheap beer.

for as much shit that guinness gets i fucking love it
>>7250652
As far as mass produced beer goes, I think Guinness is decent. If I went to a bar and the best they had was Guinness, I wouldnt be too disappointed.
Run into this one a few times on the shelves but never gave it a try. Lot of spice and fruit. Tasty.
Just opened up this. pretty good, I think I like it better than their other IPAs
>>7250872
Oh shit, I forgot about this. I like Azzaca hops and Founders so I am interested in how this beer turned out.
Very nice stuff!
Vodka straight to crush the emptiness of my soul.
Life sucks man.
Been going through the Crooked Stave beers lately. This one is breddy gud.
They are all pretty amazing, so far.
>>7244497
About $10 per bottle where I am.
Tastes like chocolate-cherry cake. Not my thing, but I think they nailed their attempt. No alcohol "punch" that I was expecting at 18 ABV.
Good idea to age one.
HM is 18%, Fort is 17% iirc.
>>7250587
Ballast can almost do no wrong. About to be bought out if they haven't been already. Not a milk stout fan, but Calm Before the Storm is delicious.
>>7251542
Hard for me to buy a 22 if it's not a cellar, but I'll give it a try if you say so.
>>7251790
that's annoying
The Mrs is having the one on the left. Definitely a great dessert beer though it's a bit sweet for me. I'm having the oatmeal stout, more up my alley. Nice roastiness, super drinkable.
>>7251790
IIRC, they've been bought out already. 1 billion dollars. Not that it's a problem, if anything the buy out might mean more beer distributed so everyone can enjoy it. Calm is definitely good, looks like a blonde drinks like a coffee stout. My personal favorite is their VaS, then again I think most people like that one a lot too.
The Duet isn't a 22, it's a 12. It's definitely good. Kind of wish I had gotten just a 6 pack of that instead!
>>7251823
Victory at Sea isn't my cup of tea
but the sculpins are on point, imo
so I'm sure the VaS is good, just not to my liking.
> if anything the buy out might mean more beer distributed so everyone can enjoy it.
you sound like a salesman, lol, but I agree. people get upset (where I am) when a local place gets bought out. but really, it just means more stringent regulation.
I've just seen the Duet in 22z, and it's a shelf turd. Most of our 22z are shelf turds.

I was visiting friends and went to a brew-pub, for the first time I tried oyster stout, supposedly actually using oysters in the process.
I liked it, almost kinda briny at the end, which I surprisingly liked. Mind you, it mostly tasted like a regular dry stout.
>>7252656
Oyster stouts rule. I want them to make a comeback

>>7252234
not that guy but Abyss is priced really highly compared to similar beers

Had my first Jai Alai yesterday, at a wedding from a keg. Surprising, since I'm like 30 minutes from their brewery, but I'm not an IPA person.
I could be if they were all this good. Still wouldn't ever pick it over most other common varieties, but it was the first IPA I've ever had where I wanted more.
Also had a Longboard from the bottle. It was just a little less plain than beer could possibly be. Slightly maltier than the typical pale lager, which made it slightly better than 100% forgettable.
Have you guys ever tried weed beer ?

It's my standard beer. The only one I drink outside of the fancy shit I buy. Howe Sound Brewing comes out with a nice hemp ale around 4/20 as well.
>>7253412
Guinness tastes like wet cardboard. I love stouts, but holy shit was I disappointed by Guinness. Watery, bland, just unpleasant overall.
>>7253545
you pompous ass jerk, as if you had a palate
Trying some good Belgium beer. Best I could find in this wine fetishist faguettes land
>>7251552
Lol xd
Chimay Blue tonight. Based as fuck.
>>7253367
Not really. I'd say abyss is pretty unique and at 17$ not too crazy of a purchase.
El Jimador
it's anejo tequila, aged in oak casks to give it the colour and flavour of a scotch but with the lingering aftertaste of agave
>>7254074
I mean I haven't had it, but when I go to the store and other similar sounding beers that I am also curious to try are $10-12, im not gonna pick up the Abyss
>>7234113
Nothing like a nice cold one after a hard day in the rat race.
AKA: Anything but beer, both because I'm not an alcoholic, or a raging faggot like OP. Beer is literally a meme drink. Enjoy your shit, advertised taste.
>>7254047
U drinking that shit out of the bottle? Recommend you pour it, friend.
>>7254500
Why pour it? Its good from the bottle.
>>7254629
You'll get more flavor
>>7254047
excellent choice, friend
>>7254629
Yeah what the other anon said, it has to do with your sense of smell affecting the taste quite a bit. Anecdotably i can say it seems to work.
>>7251877

This is very good. I'm not one for pale ales but wow. Definitely getting it again.
I like beer, but I find hard liquors and wine to taste like shit.
Acquiring a taste for beer didn't take long. I don't like them all but I find barky Ales and Light Lagers to be my preferred area.
How do I acquire a taste for liquors and mixed drinks? I can't seem to make out taste past "wow it taste like how I imagine automobile fuel tastes, this taste like the most efficient way to become drunk without bothering to make it enjoyable to drink"
I only find them good as a way to get drunk in shots. Every thing from mixed drinks to jello shots feels like an attempt at disguising the fact that what you are drinking taste like diesel fuel.
>>7251985
I drank one of these, thought it was the most disgusting shit on the planet. Then the remain five sat in my fridge for a month until I got the sudden urge to drink them, then I suddenly liked their powerful demon god taste and drank like three in a row.
This is such a pleasant drink. Glad I got it.
>>7256053
That's how I felt about stouts when I had first tried one. I thought it was disgusting too. Weird, eh?
Just put one of pic related in the fridge for later tonight.
Going shopping later this week, what would you guys recommend for someone who is relatively new to beer? My favorites so far are Gulden Draak, Abt 12 and Gauloise 10° Triple Blonde.
>>7257704
You might enjoy pale ales but if your store lets you do a mixed six pack, then I'd recommend just grabbing a bunch of different styles to try.
>>7257750
That's what I've been doing, just looking for suggestions.
>>7251985
o wow i love this beer, i buy it for myself on special occasions
>>7234113
>literally consuming Satan
Any beers in the UK that taste like a better Grolsch? I like the earthiness but it's still kind of watery.
>>7256210
>Sam Smith's
Not had the porter but their oatmeal and double chocolate stouts are excellent. The IPA was shit though.
>>7260631
shit like this reminds me of this one time at a convenience store when this fat negresses total came to $6.66 and she briefly chimped out before grabbing a pack of gum to change the total.
>>7260575
Why not try one every year and try and note any difference
>>7260717
Taddy porter is honestly my favorite from them.
>>7260800
I can never find it or their oatmeal stout which I love. There's a sam smith's pub near me but I'm banned.
>>7260935
Story.
>>7257704
Based Belgian beers fanatic
Had this tonight, first Mikkeller in quite a while. It was...OK. Nothing special, quite malty for an American style IPA. Easy to drink, considering that it was 7%.
Having a cheeky sip of this tonight. It's nice to find a locally brewed beer that costs less than £3 for a change. That and I'm a sucker for a good label.
I'm having Ballast point calm before the storm. might be the best beer ive tasted
>>7260575
dunno, my grocery store only had 2014, didn't think about it when I got it.
I'll have a homebrew, sirs.
>>7236552
Everything sucks
>>7249733
it's also thick-as-fuck and sugary. Even if I can handle the alcohol I don't think my stomach would appreciate all that thick syrupy Higher math.
![Bell%2527s+Cherry+Stout[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/68FUYia.jpg "Bell%2527s+Cherry+Stout[1].jpg")
I'm trying Bell's Cherry Stout tonight. I looked at reviews before buying and saw a lot of people complaining that it tasted like "cough syrup" so I bought a bottle to try but had doubts. It's not like that at all though and tastes like a stout first but has a tart aftertaste. It's interesting and not super sweet. Bell's makes great stouts and I should have trusted them.
>>7250470
I like your taste, anon. The Stone/SN collab sounded like it could be amazing from the description so it's a shame it came out the way it did. I'd love to see some beer with noticeable gin influence. It might not be good but I want to try it since I enjoy gin and beer separately.
>>7262108
*tips Fedora IPA bottle back*
>>7251796
A bourbon-barrel-aged sour fermented with brettanomyces? That's like every big trend from the past few years crammed together. I've tasted all three things but never even combined two of them in one beer before so that stuff must be wild.
Dark beer is best beer.
>>7257704
You've got exciting taste for someone new to beer. I'd say you should keep branching out with Belgian beers since you already listed a few as favorites. Try that La Chouffe, it has the gnome guy on the front, in the green boxes here >>7257847
In the USA I enjoy Belgian beers and I like Abt 12 a lot but also drink American brewery's Belgian-style beers and recommend Ommegang's Gnomegang (made with La Chouffe's yeast) and Allagash's Tripel and Wit.
help i'm growing increasingly fond of blue moon am i becoming a pleb
>>7262372
I've already tried La Chouffe, it's available from my local supermarket so it's one of the first I tried. It was not bad, but not something I'd buy again soon.
>exciting taste for someone new to beer
It surprises me too. 1-2 years ago I probably wouldn't have liked any of them and most likely not even be able to tell the difference in taste. I'm still nog fan of 'regular' beer (Jupiler etc) though.
Now if only I can learn to eat more cheeses...
Thanks for the suggestions!
>>7263779
>Not being fond of cheese from the getgo
M8
saving it for the weekend but it's going to be hard
>>7241469
Nice desktop
>alcoholic so I can't drink anymore
>really miss beer
On the upside, malta is pretty good.
>>7263779
>Now if only I can learn to eat more cheeses
Pick up cheese, place in mouth. The procedure doesn't really vary all that much between cheeses.
>>7264775
Finally got around to trying this. It was far too sour and tasted like vinegar to me. Sorry to say, but I must be a pleb.
>>7234113
my own tears
>Not enjoying based Batemans XXXB
Life is good.
has anyone even? their private labels aren't bad.
A Coors.
>>7265518
a Coors light or Coors original?
>>7265528
original
light is pretty nasty
>>7265533
dub dubs confirm?
>>7265304
I'll cry with ya man.
Tonight's my first night sober in many years :(
>>7265533
I like both haven't had either one in a while since I'm schizophrenic but I miss drinking a refreshing Coors light or a tasty original.
>>7265533
Original coors rules
GUYS I GOT A TOY IN MY GUINNESS IT'S A LITTLE BALL I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN
I'm drinking Hop Devil tonight. It's a Victory beer. I've only ever had Golden Monkey from them, but this stuff is really good. It tastes kinda weedy to me for some reason. I was gonna get Dorado from Ballast Point because I knew the store had it, but it was old. I'm tired of fucking old beer, especially IPAs. Why is it not illegal? DURR BEER HAS ALCOHOL IT DOESNT GO BAD :) no it fucking doesn't for a long time but the taste still gets destroyed
>>7265585
What the fuck.
I'm drinking a Barley Johns Old 8 porter. If you live in WI or MN pick up a 4 pack. Great beer.
Been seeing a lot of Von Trapp in the stores lately, drinking the pilsner
It's from a Vermont brewery, and it's pretty good, super drinkable.
No idea what the availability is like, but we got it here in New Hampshire.
It's nice to see more craft lagers, I'm honestly kind of sick of super hoppy IPAs, it's been done a billion times.
does weissbier typically turn you into a desert?
just tried one today, a Julius Echter Dunkel, the flavor was incredible but holy fuck I feel so damn dehydrated
>>7264868
the hispanic kind or german?
