bro you posted report announce your gonna lose credibility

>>12932497
I saw on an episode of Firefly that beer was once a major source of nutrition for slaves in Egypt.

>>12932633
I can't speak for firefly but very low abv beer or wine mixed with water was drank more than actual water itself at some points in time on account of killing harmful bacteria with the alcohol

>>12932665
I think that's why cats tend to prefer running water: as it tends to be safer.

A rep from one of our beer and wine distributors brought pic related in for us to try a few days ago and it was actually really solid, and I'm not usually into hazy shit. I was completely unaware that The Bruery had an IPA line.

Some heiny from a mini keg

Natty ice
Gotta be at work in 90 minutes so i need to drink up

Imagine drinking bad tasting hooch
yes, alcohol tastes bad all the time, fuck off

>>12933057
I recall when i was younger one of my friends put a keg under his shirt, and walked out the store. In hindsight it really did not make sense that he even bothered to put it under his shirt.

>>12932473

>>12933057
Doesn't heineken taste like dirty dishwater?

>>12932623
How different is this from old faithful?

i smoked some heroin earlier and got 2 1 liter san miguels. it's cheap and tastes alright even when room temperature

>>12933551
mon nègre

>>12933551
Heineken is the best mainstream beer bro

>>12933551
Heineken is okay.
>>12933797
You're thinking of molson

>>12932473
Might have this tonight. Im hopeing by the end of this month I can make a treck to total wine and get a bunch of octoberfest, pumpkin beers, and left hand beers I have been wanting to try.

>>12933943
Pumking is the only one you need. I still havent found a better pumpkin beer years later

>>12933995
I'll give that a try. So far the only pumpkin beers that have stood out to me are Shipyards (decent basic bitch teir) and fat tires Pumpkick (more fruity and tart from cranberries, but good pumpkin squash flavor). Its hard to find a good pumpkin beer that doesn't taste like bitter spice.

>>12932473
cheap bag in a box red wine

>>12933619
it's modelo time!

>>12932473
What is the process behind Trappist/Abbey ales that make them so much better than the average pale ale?

>>12932473
>drinking tonight?
Gonna run some errands, pick up some food and start day drinking a bunch of these. /weekofffromwork/ feels so comfy.

>>12932473
just some heineken, nothing special

>>12932473
water like any adult should do

>>12934565
God's favor.
Honestly though, no idea but that's something I've noticed at well.

>>12934565
Yeast strain. Yeasts are the primary flavor influencers of beer.

Room temperature Gordon's out of the bottle

chase it whatevers at hand

I wish I were dead

A can of Krombacher Helle after a solid climbing session to go along with my dinner. Tonight is comfy, anons

Is it normal to find double IPAs more palatable than regular IPAs? I’m guessing “double” doesn’t necessarily mean “more bitter”.

Let me tell you, this hit the spot after a long day of work/gym

>>12933551
that cork though...

I don't drink poison
if I want a kick I drink some diet soda concoction.

>>12936260

>drinks diet soda
>doesn't think he's drinking poison

hon hon hon

Diet Pepsi today, but I'll be drinking several of these tomorrow. I'll be knocking out those bottles pretty quick, as there is only a few sips left in most of them.

>>12933577
it's stronger and has more flavour, if you're a fan of green I'd try it out

>>12933943
Having it tonight. Solid Marzen. Nice malt sweetness balanced by hops and spices, but never gets bitter.
>>12936244
Kino. Its the richest most biscuit beer I know.
>>12936498
I'm jealous

>>12936652
Are you saving the Buffalo Trace for later? It's the only bottle with more than a finger left in it.

>>12936652
lmfao that's fucking disgusting, stop drinking

>>12934926
That can't be the only thing going on here.

>>12936224
>Is it normal to find double IPAs more palatable than regular IPAs?
Yes, actually. "Double" loosely means double the hops and double the malts, but doubling the malts will provide an actual backbone while doubling the hops will typically just slightly raise the IBU, which means a double is going to be a lot more balanced than a lot of singles that are very hop forward. Doubles are my favorite style because of the balance between flavor and drinkability; I love a good triple and the occasional quad, but they're more for sipping.

>>12936953
Fucking kek. I didn't even notice that the last couple of times he posted that image. It's as though the joke went entirely over my head.

>>12934954

Wrap the bottle in paper towel, wet it and put it in the freezer. It'll be cool in 10 minutes

>>12934565
speaking of which, are there any beers that are like quads and tripels but with less alcohol?

>>12932473
Pilgrimage to my favourite brewery taproom yesterday. What'll it be lads?

>>12937281
Rolling

>>12937270
that's literally what Dubbels are

>>12933325
Your friend is not a clever man but at least he's not blind like the employees of that store.

>>12937857
i'm talking 5% or lower

>>12934565
Yeast, plus they aren't afraid to add sugar and thus 'break the beer law' in order to produce a good beer. Also many monks are literally praying for the beer while it is fermenting.

>>12938190
You want to try Chimay Doree Goud, or 'gold'. It's a Patersbier, which means it's the step below a Dubbel. At 4,8% abv it's literally like a session beer. It happens to be my favorite beer. I've posted about it a few times here before.

>>12933797
maybe in america...

i'm depressed
good beer though

Wheat beer is top comfy

>>12940091
It's a summer beer for me. Now that frosts are starting it's time to break out maltier and higher ABV beers, before diving into barleywines, dubbels, and tripels for the winter.

>>12936652
>>12936953
That's the first time I posted that picture. It's an update of a previous one where only 10 were in it. I was saving a few sips of the others in case I found a bottle of Buffalo Trace in order to do taste comparisons (good, but not the best). Now that I have one, I took that pic before I drink all those remaining sips.

>>12940091
>Goku pillow
>Weissbeer
Kiss me, you fool. I'm in love.

>>12932473
It's my number one beer, I couldnt tell you why just is solid all around and for $8 a 12 pack you cant beat it.

>>12941137
I heard that Old Style's bad rap is because it's closer to a Danish beer than a typical German beer.
Meanwhile, dumbasses are draining Tuborg by the gallon.

>>12932623
bottles are better when the knowledgeable barman gives it a perfect roll, enough to make it cloudy but not too much to make it explode when he pops the top and pours it out for you.
Best Coopers.

>>12941182
no, its because it is associated with Cubs fans who are to a man insufferable

>>12941250
>Cubs fans who are to a man insufferable
I hate you, but you're inarguably right.

>>12932473
konig out of that wihstephan mug. i find konig and weihenstephan festbier to be pretty similar, and konig is a lot cheaper

>>12941403

>>12941229
I only get cans anymore because I want my ten cents back and glass empties are more trouble to transport.

Soooo good after hard work.

I literally can't get any decent beer here, some local breweries have different varieties like chocolate stout and whatnot. Are those better than Tuborg and other pisswater brands?

>>12932473
BITTE EIN BIT

Got a 6-pack of this cause I love Oktoberfest style beers but it tastes like a pale ale, pretty disappointed considering they make other great stuff

>>12941716
Depends what you like, stouts tend to be strong on the roasted black coffee thing.

>>12941135
Sorry anon I already have a girlfriend, we can still play Vidya games tho.

>>12940091
wrong glas kys

>>12932473
how is that? saw it at the store and wanted to try it

>>12933995
shipyards is good for the price, 11 bucks for 6 of em, hey also do a heavier one called smashed pumpkin which is kino

>>12943608
Trappist ales are a fucking meme. I've never had one and thought, yeah that's a great beer.

>>12943629

post what you think is a good beer so we can laugh a bit more

>>12943783
La fin du monde is better than anything those retard monks have ever made.
Inflammatory bullshit aside, I seriously cant understand the obsession over trappist ales. I've tried every one I can get my hands on, and they all just fall flat.

>>12943629
>Trappist ales are a fucking meme
or you just dont like them?

Someone recommend me a traditional oktoberfest beer that isn't weihenstephaner.

>>12943938
Hacker pschorr or paulaner. Sam Adam's is actually pretty decent too

Im a German visiting Australia and I gotta say this is based.

>>12937281
Headband good sir, on the slate of course

>>12936260

>>12943938
Warsteiner oktoberfest is great, and $13 for a 12 pack where I am

today I tried this barrel aged burbon stout (!1%) and idk what the big deal is about these high alcohol beers seems to taste like utter shit

today I tried saison dupont for the first time and some hungarian raspberry sour, was an ok day

>>12933551
nice, drink this when I visit France

That sticker never sticks down lmao, and the cork is a bastard, I just use a corkscrew for it now

i started with a glass full of 50% jager and 50% sparkling water
and went into the land of the la chouffe, i had tasted so many beers from private brewries and so many kind yet the blond midget shit is so good, and after 2-3 liters you will enjoy life

anyway midget beer is best

>>12932473
>What are you drinking tonight?
Bud light because it's a school night

>>12944181
midget beer?

>>12932473
>festbier
Literally their worst draft
Hefe weissbeir, vitus, or bust

>>12944185
i drank so many expensive beers yet this one is the best tasting one for me...

>>12944070
Gotta find a brewery with a decent barrel program. Theres a fine line between the right amount of bourbon and too much

>>12944070
>can
>even considering this shit

>>12944213
reviewes for this were above the average stout that I enjoy, idk if it's due to my palate maybe I don't like alcohol to be that high

>>12944216
aren't cans better than bottles?

>>12944230
if youre a redneck then yes
bottles are the way of the modern man

>>12944216
Cans are better than bottles now
>>12944230
A lot of people will rate any aged stout high just because they think they're supposed to. Bourbon is a divisive flavor too so you might just not like it. Idk try a couple more before you disregard the style

>>12944230
>are cans better
lol absolutely not
If your beer comes in a can, it’s shit beer that’s probably a low alc %

>>12944240
>cans are better
No they’re not shut the fuck up

>>12944247
Yes they are. They have a liner that prevents any leeching and are completely sealed from light so theres 0 risk of exposure

>>12944244
let the plebs enjoy their redneck booze
yee haw haw yee bookaroos
>>12944247
my nigga

>>12944240
maybe I need to drink some bourbon idk never tried that way I can get used to strong booze taste

>>12944253
>0 risk of exposure
Nice now it can sit in a warehouse for an extra decade before anyone drinks it

>>12944266
For a big abv beer that's really not a problem at all and even sought after by people

Das König der Biere, ihr Fotzen.

>>12944290
>big abv beer
Something you’re not likely to get from a can
Hope you like 3% piss water cancuck

>>12944244
Cans are superior because you can shotgun them. It'll always impress the ladies

>>12944304
>something you're not likely to get from a can
you know he's not limiting his beer consunption to cans only?

>>12944312
Thanks boomer

>>12944318
>cans are superior!
>no they’re not
>but they’re better for higher abv!
>too bad they’re not used for higher abv beers
>WELL HES NOT ONLY DRINKING CANS ANON
THEN HOW ARE CANS SUPERIOR??

>>12944304
Someone literally just posted an 11% canned beer. Also oscar blues cans all their stuff. A ton of breweries are switching to cans now apart from special or limited releases

>>12944385
>getting drunk off canned beer

>>12944396
im getting drunk of bottled beer called la chouffe
they dont make cans dumbass....

though when i cant afford anything ill buy a few cans of baltika 9 or 2 plastic bottles of it (inb4 plastic bottle beers, the russians have no god)
i am on the bottle side but i dont support a war between brothers over a way of drink
if you enjoy your drink be happy and sing a song, who gives a shit

Half a liter of Evan Williams while sending regrettable texts to women I’m fucking followed by waking up early and going to work.

>>12944412
Anyone who drinks and gets drunk off of canned beer is a spic who most definitely isn’t my brother, neither spiritually or ethnically

>>12944414
>a child who has never served in the army of a shitty ocuntry that cant afford good beer
i usually buy bottled beer but when i want to help others who cant pay of their living expenses i buy cheap high abv beers or a lot of gordons gin (depends on what they want)
you will never know what its like to give to people that has nothing and will give their life for you
enjoy your food and drink alone
i preffer eaing shitty vaneed meat and salted nuts with the ones who fight by my side

>>12944421
>when i want to help others who cant pay of their living expenses
Lmao you get worthless bums who can’t pay rent shitty beer
Imagine feeling good about yourself for that
Why don’t you let the homeless sleep in your house too, you fucking degenerate Jesus

Had a lambic for the first time. Tasted like candy. Quite good, but I can't imagine drinking 4 of them in a row.

Recommend some others that I can maybe find in Cali

>>12944435
>no idea about how soldiers help each other
i was in shitty times in the start and peole helped me, this is how you make good humans fag

>>12944454
>muh soldiers
>muh army
Lmao you're not fighting anything, all you worthless fucks are doing is getting drunk and pretending to protect freedom so Israel can annex half of the Middle East
Good job goy

>>12944425
I wouldn’t say I’m unhappy. My life is generally quite good. More good than bad anyway. Definitely not happy though.

Drinking these since last night

>>12944351
Yes it saves costs and stores their beer better. Glad you finally came around

>>12943803
say more

Three cans of this all in a row. Its trash but it makes me feel good.
Try and stop me. also name a cheaper beer. Costs me 1.09+tax per can.

Hwy 80 from Flying Heart Brewery in Bossier City, Louisiana. It’s a proper aromatic IPA with a (((floral))) taste. Y'all can only get it at the bar because some faggot law prevents this brewery from distributing since they sell food.

>>12933057
I used to drink those 2 at a time in (((college)))

>>12933273
What job do you work that’s so shitty you need ethanol in your system to cope? Godspeed anon

>>12934862
Go do a flip. Fucking woman

>>12937281
#2. Less expensive than the other 8er, unless I’m reading that wrong since I’m already getting lit up

>>12941137
I hope you buy it for the quality not the price. Only numale Christopher street fagaloons drink with their wallet. Fucking twats thinking a bottle of wine is decent because it costs at least $20

>>12944471
I checked my url and I didn’t see /pol/ in there. Limp kn back or der

>>12944640
Alright. I also enjoy the responses I've gotten from saying I didnt care for those beers. It's just snarky shit that doesnt really mean anything while trying to be condescending about an OKAY beer.

tried a couple of these natty peach mango seltzer, not great & barely any carbonation

>>12943938
Erdinger is good

Pretty good

>>12945272
how much was this

For me it's Curs, and also some Evan Williams.

Had this for the first time, heard it's one of the best beers around. It was ok, good but not spectacular. Do you have to be catholic to love it? Do I not have the light of god inside me?

>>12945078

What kind of conversation did you expect by
starting with: "Trappist ales are a fucking meme."? At least say what you don't like in it.

Are any of those non-Trappist Abbey breweries any good?

What's bad about Leffe

>>12932473
Absinthe. Feels like liquid hell going down, but I'm 4 drinks in for a regular 8 ounces of liquor.

>>12946491
Nah even when I've been polite about it, there are a bunch of autists who cant fathom not liking them.
I think the body is lacking, carbonation is horrible, and the taste is underwhelming and almost has faint flavors of mildew. And they've all been like this except st bernardus 12. That one was pretty good.

>>12944837
Make me retard
Maybe when you learn english I might, but I doubt you're capable of that

>>12947235
Jesus christ this shit was a mistake. Never go over 100 proof kiddos, it'll wreck your world.

>>12941716
surely they have more styles than just stout?
stouts are great but don't pair well with many foods and most aren't light enough to be quaffable

>>12944304
you're retarded. revolution's entire barrel program switched to cans a couple years ago and they are all over 13%. cans store beer better than bottles, this is just a fact. the only downside is they are more fragile to side damage, but that isn't a problem for high-end beer since it never ships in the conditions that damage cans generally.

Poison

>>12932473
Steel Reserve, whatchu know about that? Prolly nothing.

>>12948646

>>12947235
i've never had absinthe. i've heard it tastes like licorice, would you agree?

>>12944823
I buy it for me. Love the taste. I was into craft beer for like 6 months but hated spending $15 on a 6 pack that I may hate.

>>12948646
>whatchu know about that
ebin maymay friend, however malt liquor != beer.

>>12932473
Wine because I'm not a faggot.

I was going to get a Foothills Brewing variety pack since they were on sale, but Voodoo Ranger was a dollar cheaper and I wasn't sure if I would like everything in the former.

thoughts on this years? i like it a lot. always look forward to their octoberfest

Imma slam two cans, call me Toucan Sam, niggas jelly so I cook em like flan, Slam I am cuz I slam two cans, alcoholic like I fought in Nam

>>12949372
It's trappist beer from Belgium, brewed by monks. It's probably $4-7 a bottle depending on where you live.

A couple small bottles of that shit and you won't be able to see straight. It's very intoxicating.
