40s/24s are overpriced as fuck, if youre going to drink shit beer (which be honest all muricans do including myself) just get a 24 of busch or natty otherwise youre pretty much willingly getting price gouged. Also, you have to go to the store every single day.

avarage mass market beer is nothing but standart euro laggers, some are better, some are worse. but Russian craft beer blows the sky. I'd put it on top 3 craft beer countries in the world. top 5 definitely. 1. US. 2. Scotland. 3/4 Russia and th Scandis.

Alcohol in France is much more focused on wine and strong liquors, beer isn't that much of a tradition here I think. That being said there are regional exceptions, with a lot of small breweries being created these past years with the trend on craft beer and things like that

>>13885639
>>13885742
Thanks guys, I figured the beer scene would be less robust than the beer belt. In the states we're lucky enough to get plenty of import beer so I'll try to dig up a few bottles. What style would you say is the quintessential beer spirit of France and Russia?

>>13885974
You should keep in mind that many german breweries use different recipes for export products. Especially pilseners tend to be a lot less bitter. Also the term lager doesn't exists in Germany so you can never be sure what exactly you're drinking there, because it could be pilsener, helles or export.

>>13885974
>What style would you say is the quintessential beer spirit of France and Russia?
lagger and caramel pilsner (Vien style) and Russian Imperial Stout. but craft beer became a huge thing here nowadays.

>>13886065
So they’ll change it to better fit the “American palate” or something like that? Doesn’t surprise me. All the more reason to take a beer vacation if anything

>>13886198
Glad to see that the brewery scene is picking up. In the US, we had damn near as many Germany before prohibition, then nearly everything went under of course. Is Russia building on past brewery tradition from before the Union, or are they really breaking new ground?

>>13886206
Not only for America but most other countries too. I don't know what they are exporting, but i would guess it's mostly pilsener or weizen. Weizen should be the same they sell in Germany. I also can't imagine that other unpopular types of beers (like bock, schwarzbier, dunkel etc.) are different from the original ones.

>>13886211
>Is Russia building on past brewery tradition from before the Union, or are they really breaking new ground?
we always had a good beer tradition since the Empire times, but these days we look towards two directions: mass market beer (chezh like pilsners, germany like laggers) and craft revolution, but it's already happened. and it goes also in two directions. first are fancy breweries with IPAs, APAa, fruit beers and shit like that, and second ones are just small local breweries who make ectraudinary quality laggers and pilsners for small local markets. and year after year those are popping up like after rain mushrooms.

>>13886249
Interesting, I'm more partial to Altbier and schwarzbier so it's nice to know that I'm getting something closer to what is intended by the brewer.
>>13886257
Pretty much the same here. I've never had any truly Russian beer, Poland is about as far east as is easily found in most shops. Had plenty of Russian Imperial stouts in style but all from the US or UK.

>>13886314
>I've never had any truly Russian beer
honestly, there are non of those, most of our mass market beers are either euro laggers, or our versions of famous german / czech beers (not talking about Imperial Stout!). but when it comes to Russian craft beer, here we go. There are plenty of topest-tier beers of extraordinary quality. if you see, you buy it. sure US is an icebreaker in craft beer world, but we also have something to suggest.

I don't know much about Spanish beer but pic related was great

>>13886507
I'll have to keep an eye out, thanks Ivan. Don't think it will be easy to find anything of note here in the states. though of course there are, I'm sure there are several decent major breweries in Russia, I don't think I'll ever get my hands on anything local. for example, the best American beer ever made is Red Oak Bavarian Amber Lager and I have never seen it outside of my state let alone in Europe. Lord knows how many great beers will never leave their state or province.

exactely, best beers are local ones, made with 'tegrity. anyway, if you like IPAs and ever see this one pic related, you buy it. one of the best all over the world. the call it atomic laundry because they build brewery in - literally - former laundry near by nuclear power plant.

>>13886777
Haha normally I spurn IPAs but for you my friend I'll buy a six pack and give it a try. Funny that you mention the nuclear power plant. A little brewery opened up a few years back near me in an old coal power plant. They don't sell anything in stores yet, and I'm sure it'll never make it to Europe even if they do, but next time they decide to brew a decent IPA or anything with a Russian soul I'll make a thread in your honor

Beer here is pretty good. As long as it’s a Swiss brand you can’t go wrong because the standard is so high here compared to macro imports from other countries. They’re mostly all German style beers and craft breweries are starting to get good.

Last one isn't for "enjoying a beer" so much as those situations where you need something cheap, refreshing, and vaguely alcoholic but not really. Parties where everyone's drinking, or a drink while working on a car or in the yard. RR beats most other light beers imo.

For foreigns? I've always loved all the types of Guinness I've tried, and Sapporo and Modelo Negra aren't bad either. Although honestly, I've had worse experiences with most foreign beer than I have domestic (mostly cuz the foreign beer they sell around me is revolting shit like Beck's or Presidente).

>>13888083
You try Miller High Life or Lite? Those are the two most common versions of it and they're worlds apart. High Life is a standard but enjoyable macro lager, Miller Lite is piss for high school and college kids

imho früh perfected the television beer formula. 0.2l glasses or 0.33l bottles are small enough to not get drunk easily, inoffensive/boring tasting for sure and available everywhere. Compared to Bitburger and co it's my favourite of those beers by far. Sure its not even the best mainstream kölsch, imho thats reissdorf, but if you just want to bring something cheap to a bbq i'd nearly always just go with früh or flens

My dad used to work at AB's St. Louis brewery (no "my dad's friend works at Nintendo" stories here, I'm being straight up, even if it's still anecdotal shit I can't confirm either) and he always told me that the big 40 oz malt liquor bottles were just to squeeze money out of black people who couldn't work out math. Reeeeally desperate or frugal alcoholics would go for bumwine, hard liquor, or just absurdly cheap/shitty normal beer. The breweries found out the best way to get the black drunk's dollar was to just make the bottle as big as possible and put them (without a dollar in advertising, the bottle size is its own selling point) in ghetto bottle shops around the country. Instant gratification or whatever, let them grab one bottle at a time and they'll keep coming back for more.

>>13890456
>Black & Tan
Good choice. Always been one of my favorite beers, since before I was old enough to buy my own. I like Yuengling's Premium (the tan half of the B&T) a little better, though, just because I'm not always in the mood for a darker brew.

>>13890492
Yuengling is my go to common beer, cheap here and ubiquitous. I like the black and tan with a meal, gives lighter fare a little more backbone

>>13890603
It's been one of my favorites as long as I can remember drinking. I live in Mass now, and while distribution ramped up to New England, it's still a little sparse; pricier than it is back in Philly, and it can be hard to find brews that aren't the normal lager. Just glad to have it back, though.

On the bright side Sam Adams is cheapish up here, and it's always been a decent second for me.

had this the other day, outside the ugly reddit homos on the bottle it was absolutely excellent, its now my favorite stout
has a very smooth aftertaste, tastes like a normal stout which shifts into a smooth bourbon taste, would buy again!
