Sours are cool I think. Victory Brewing Sour Monkey is my “get shitfaced on 15 bucks” go-to six pack. It’s like drinking a sour warhead and it’s just shy of 12%

bloom posted:The italian one is disappointing. I wish I could get Westvleteren but the only time I've seen it available it was like 20e a bottle and gently caress that. Thanks! Yeah I considered ordering Westvleteren but it just seems both overhyped and overpriced, I'm sure it's delicious but I can just buy a bunch of Rochefort 10's and be happy.

big fan of New England IPAs, I guess they're kind of trendy right now but they're really loving good. A local brewery makes a fantastic one but the best one I've seen in stores is called Two Juicy.

Sours are gross. IPAs are delicious and we need more of them. This thread has been corrected, good night.

Probably one of my favorite beers ever.

new "craft" "brewers" make ipas because all the hops masks their gently caress ups and inexperience. but for all the trendy poo poo merchants there are an equal number of good brewers. america has the best overall beer market in the world right now.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I got the aass beer a lot when I was in norway. For that week i not only ate rear end but drank it. I don't know how you guys drink regularly up there though, i would probably go broke within a month with how much they charge. Yeah, I no joke spent more on beer than interest on my mortgage last year, but tbf that included a lot of pity buys from my friends new brewery start up, to no ones surprise they mostly make foul IPAs

Craft beers were great about 15 years ago when they were all trying different flavors. They were all drinkable. Then IPAs hit, and it was like, I can't drink this. Then the IBA wars went on and the IPAs went from undrinkable to just stupid why bother this doesn't even taste like beer anymore. I can understand why my parents like Bud and Coors now. I mean, those to me are total piss poo poo undrinkable because they have no flavor, but that is what my Bass and Harp must taste like to the 20 year olds today who are pounding down the latest session and double IPA beers.

William Henry Hairytaint posted:I went to an Indian restaurant a couple weeks ago and found out they no longer carry King Fisher because the brewery has gone out of business. They haven't just stopped importing it, it's gone. I blame this on IPAs, the success of which I blame on idiots who pretend to like that hoppy bitter bullshit. I long for the day when the fad dies and lagers can actually get some shelf space again. Please don't cry.

I used to hate IPAs but then I found one from a local brewery that tasted really good and had a really high ABV%, so it would get me drunk faster. It's now my favorite beer

Stink Billyums posted:The best beer is actually root beer. True story: Driving in Texas early one morning, I was prevented from buying a root beer by a very Indian gas station clerk who insisted that he couldn't sell alcohol before 10 AM. After a few minutes of trying to explain, I had to bring him to the cooler to show him that root beers were, in fact, stored with the soda and not the alcohol. He didn't even apologize.

The thing I like a lot about craft beer is that it's really seasonal, so you get all kinds of cool stuff that pairs with the weather that may not have a big enough pull year-round for the breweries to release otherwise. Right now when it's balls hot you get super light session IPAs, juicy radlers, saisons, and tart/salty goses, all hovering below 5% ABV so you don't become a hot, sweaty mess. Autumn gets marzens, red/brown ales, and rye beers, winter gets super strong imperial stouts, heavy porters, and spiced ales, you get a few Irish reds around St. Patrick's Day, and spring brings crisp pale ales, pilsners, and hefeweisens. I've developed a lot of seasonal favorites, and it's cool to see them return every year when the weather gets warm or when Christmas gets closer. I know some people who drink the same stuff regardless of season, but it's just rough trying to down a Belgian quad when it's 95 degrees, and a Red Stripe or German Blonde just doesn't have enough heft when it's below zero outside. I'm also a big fan of a lot of IPAs, but I agree that they make up way too much of the lineup of most breweries, and it's a shame that it's pretty much required for them to do so to provide regular, dependable sales (sorta like crossovers for most car manufacturers nowadays). I'd still argue, though, that breweries now are trying out a lot more new ideas than they were 10-15 years ago simply because the industry is big enough that they have the capacity to do so. It's just a matter of making sure they have the output to get their non-IPAs bottled and distributed.

Well, the taste is nice, they just need to up the carbonation a little. Most Trappist beer is pretty low in the carbonation department anyway, isn't it? They depend more on the yeast to provide the CO2 rather than infusing it.

Well, the taste is nice, they just need to up the carbonation a little. I thoroughly enjoyed this beer. Hopefully more English Trappist style beers are released as a result. Brewdogs marketing really pisses me off. It's obnoxious but also really smart at the same time. Stop telling people who are having a midlife crisis that buying shares in a company is punk.

ArbitraryC posted:some seasonal stuff is fine but I groan every fall when all the orange bottles come out. That poo poo sucks and ruins variety packs. This is true. Pumpkin ales/porters/whatever have kind of usurped marzens/Oktoberfests as the official Autumn beer and it sucks because so many of them are just horrible. There is one fantastic example in there, though, and it's Hi-Wire's Sour Pumpkin Ale. It's outrageously expensive at $11 a 12oz bottle, but it's so tasty I've committed myself to buying one or two a year as a treat.
