Drank a raspberry stout last night, it was weird as fuck.

All modern IPAs are really going for that zoomer dollar.

>>15179883
why are you using coastie man meme with craft beer, something mastered and lead by midwesterners?

>>15179883
yeah i dont get overly flavoured beers either, there is nothing wrong with the classics of each one, classic stout or porter without any fruit or other shit is already good.

>>15179896
>>15179902
>he insulted my infantile beverages, I MUST say something

>>15179900
one time in a bar i ordered a stout but didnt see it was "coconut stout" when they give it to me it already smelled like room deodorizer and tasted like soap good lord it was awful, i just wanted a dark normal beer

>>15179909
>why are you responding to the thing I am public ally posting on this website designed for making posts and random people replying to them

This is one of the oddest complaints I have ever seen here

>>15179909
These hipster beers are cringe as fuck, but come on dude be reasonable here. This wojak post really makes him come across even more pretentious.

I complained about the price of craft beer on twitter and all the breweries and craft beer snobs in my area started being mean to me.

>>15179916
Those can have their place, chocolate stouts can be good especially when its natural chocolate flavours from the beer itself.

>>15179909
>stop liking things

>If it costs more than a dollar and doesn't taste like piss light, it ain't beer.

>>15179902
>midwesterners
Wut? There is almost no craft beer scene to speak of in the Midwest. New England and the left coast are the only American places with small breweries left.

>>15179883
You should go on a brewery tour some time.
Portland, Maine has some really excellent ones.
>>15179902
New England is the epicenter of the craft beer revolution.

>>15179920
>wojak
>pretentious
Try using words that you know the definition of.

>>15179909
>HAHA IM TROLLING YOU

christ

>>15179909
They just can't help themselves lmao, you hurt their fragile ego
From another thread, talking about what a person's choice in alcohol says about them:
>Oh and craft beer: California republican, socially liberal but believes they're fiscally conservative (until they move to a conservative area and "reluctantly" vote straight democrat ticket), manicured beard, glasses frames fashionably up to date but still manly, works in tech usually a startup that fails in 2 years, claims to be down to go shooting with the boys but never actually does, gets extremely passive aggressive if they think you're being even slightly racist/sexist/homophobic, browses reddit, secretly bisexual, not against cuckolding, kind of person to say something along the lines of "but they're literally anfifascist, i don't see how anyone who isn't a fascist could oppose them", BLM sign in their window, will get angry reading this post, thinks they fit in but are secretly hated by everyone around them, reports businesses for not following covid mandates, anti religious but spiritual as fuck, fucking loves science, "just listen to the experts" while being unable to name a single real expert in the field, believes most of the news is unbiased, respects journalists
Oatmeal stouts aren't bad though

>>15179933
This is very wrong, what are you talking about? The midwest, primarily the upper midwest has been leaders in craft beer for like 20 years

>>15179920
>Not putting fruit and confectionary in my beer makes me pretentious
Quite the opposite

>>15179924
oh no this was awful it was obviously artificial coconut flavour tasted like if i was drinking glade or some room deodorizer

>>15179925
what did we learn?

>>15179937
>New England is the epicenter of the craft beer revolution.
Did you literally just start drinking craft beer?
New England is known for NEIPA and literally nothing else, and that didn't even become popular until a few years ago
New England surely has good beer now but it was much later to the game than the Midwest and West Coast

>>15179949
>They just can't help themselves lmao
Yeah, what fucking idiots for telling someone who posts wrong thing they are wrong, you fucking got them man

>>15179949
This. Beer is just another extension of their artificial personalities and humungous egos

>>15179947
please don't take the lord's name in vain. this is a /ck/ristian board

>>15179929
nobody is saying that, it just that all those "fruit" flavours are innecessary and most taste like shit, you can make a good beer without that, just brew a normal strong beer

>>15179952
drinking shitty lagers instead of craft beer is the opposite of pretentious, its being a fucking redneck or black person

>>15179964
Calm down dude, were just having fun
You sure do have a short fuse lol

>>15179909
It's not even that, it just a waste of a thread.

>>15179965
this is such a meaningless statement, you can replace the word 'beer' with literally anything anyone likes anywhere and the statement is the same

>>15179933
>>15179937
Kek. Imagine believing this crap. West coast got the wheels greased. Midwest took over. East coast is riding a shitty trend that people are already tired of.

>>15179959
What the fuck are you smoking, microbreweries started with Sammy Adams in BAWSTON.

FUCK OUTTA HEEYA

Do americans really politicize beverages?

>>15179977
>what is normal ale
Hello spastic mong

>>15179949
They forgot the most important trait
>balding but refuses to accept it

>>15179965
imagine making a beverage part of your personality. i like beer and am interested in it but i cannot understand the "craft beer" bragger types. i dont care that you had a jelly donut triple hopped sour IPA and you sound like a fucking douche

>>15179975
You should try a Lambic my dude.
Or a sour beer. Fruit can pair well with those. Theres a blueberry sour beer from Monkey's Paw that is really good. Not too much blueberry flavor, just on the back end of the taste.

>>15179990
Sam Adams is indeed an early craft brewery, but one place isn't enough to say the region is the best at craft beer

>>15179995
I bet you think a hipster is a real thing too

>>15179992
yes. what indeed is "normal ale"
Some shitty ass British ale with 3% alcohol and almost no flavor?

>>15179995
What are you even talking about? Do you have random dudes coming up to you in the street bragging about having a "jelly donut triple hopped sour IPA"
Sounds like you are mad at a fictional type of person

>>15179995
Bro just move to Denver and try a drooling moose imperial stout, you will eat your words
Its not as nice weather as cali, but chill af
There's a lot of annoying Texas transplants here though, they're such shitty drivers

>>15180009
>t. never been to Britain
Hello spastic mong

>>15180003
yeah i get what you are saying a friend of mine brew some of the only "fruity" beers i liked, tasted like beer and had a sour citric end in the throat, but still wouldnt drink it normaly

>>15180013
Why are you so offended and defensive?

>>15180004
I didnt say the best, i said the epicenter.
I think the best craft beer is the one you buy locally that has dedicated craftsmen making it. Region wars are silly to be honest

>>15180016
I have, I couldn't believe how weak the classic ales were. I learned that you are taxed based on ABV so it leads to traditional beers that are quite weak

>>15180008
They are. I used hang out with them at punk shows. They didn't drink craft beer though, it was mostly hamms and red dog.

>>15180019
>why do people contradict me when I say wrong weird things, must be something wrong with them

>>15180014
Ive long thought of Colorado as a much larger New Hampshire. have always wanted to see the rockies.

>>15180024
Thats because they were poor and thought craft beer was too expensive
Try being around progressive trust fund hipster faggots, they're the most insufferable retards on the planet

>>15180017
Yeah thats the kind of beer id pair with a dinner that it tastes good with, not a beer i would be drinking 3 or 4 of. Id go with a brown ale in that regard

>>15180030
Just saying you seem extremely upset over somebody poking fun at a slightly exaggerated but mostly true stereotype

>>15180020
While being old and huge in itself I really don't think Sam Adams alone qualifies New England as the "epicenter" for craft beer. The early movement was clearly started in the NW, and then was surpassed by California and the Midwest/Colorado. New England didn't really become important for craft beer outside of Sam Adams until like 5 years ago as NEIPA because popular thanks to a few Vermont guys, Tree House and Trillium. The New England scene has really exploded recently but they are still far behind the West and Midwest, especially when it comes to anything besides NEIPA

Personally I think BA stouts are the best beer around and this style was created and perfected in the midwest. I will take a NEIPA over a shitty California style IPA any day though

>>15180044
>at a slightly exaggerated but mostly true stereotype
lol ok dude

>>15179883
Hudson Valley Syzygy Sour DIPA.

>>15179883
Beer should be beer. A Stout is a Stout. IPA is an IPA. Red is a Red. If you want a mango IPA buy an IPA and chase it with some mango soda or mango juice and seltzer. Cocktails however can be different.

>>15179956
That the small breweries around my area are owned by a bunch of faggots. And their defenders are a bunch of faggots too.

$20 for a six pack? Fuck the hell off.

>>15180069
simple as

>>15180069
styles are arbitrary, you should make good things, don't worry about what they will be called

This is such a fucking dumb sentiment

>>15180071
They're where the Californian insects congregate after fleeing the state they wrecked

>>15180071
most craft beer isn't nearly that expensive. Its usually just big stouts, traditionally produced sours, and NEIPAs that approach that range (though these are not usually sold in 6 pack format)

The large majority of classic craft beer brands are still in the $8-12 six pack range

>>15180069
based i'd said
specially the sout part

>>15180098
Stouts lend themselves so well to other flavors like coffee and chocolate, and especially spirit barrel aging
Not wanting stouts to have more varied and complex flavor additions is just weird, its so so easy to make a better stout than Guinness

>>15180067
looks like wine, how it taste?

>>15180118
Sour raspberry as all hell.

>>15180089
I live in Canada so craft beer does generally cost between $18-20 for a 6 pack, unfortunately.

Americans truly hate choice

>>15180116
i get the coffee and chocolate part but its already something you did expect with the toasted grains its an already somewhat sweet beer it doesnt need fruits or overly creamy flavours, most of the time it makes it taste bad
see >>15179916 for my point

>>15180132
>brown foreigner thinks their opinion matters

>>15179883
Black girls be like

>>15180131
oh shit, I forgot Canada prices. But to be fair your shitty beer also similarly costs way the fuck more

>>15180132
Craft beer is science, its not being tied to weird ass old timey superstitions and traditions while also studying the past and recreating things europeans forgot about

>>15180127
too much raspberry or it taste like beer at some point? doesnt seem bad but wouldnt be my first choice at all

>>15180140
I have had some good and some bad coconut stouts. I think its a tricky ingredient to use but it certainly ca be used well. Just had this the other day and it was excellent coconut maple barrel aged stout

>>15180037
I don't want to

why is this thread still up but my equally bad frog thread was deleted

get a grip janny

>>15180171
probably your thread derailled, nobody care about the wojak post of OP we are discussing beer already

>>15179909
And this is considered trolling nowadays? Sad.

>>15180152
maybe i should try another one yeah, but damn that was so bad I dont trust any beer that says "coconut" and i love coconut

>>15180150
It wouldn’t be anyone’s first for that matter. The beer is there, but you have to get past all the tart, flowery notes.

>>15179883
>stop liking what i dont like

>>15179920
I’m convinced no one on this site knows what a hipster is. Hipsters don’t like popular things, they’ll drink bad beer like pbr ironically. Hating on craft beer is way more hipster than drinking it.

>>15179883
I like porters and kettle sours
Sue me

>>15179991
Only tumpanzies.

>>15180171
>faggot frogposter gets their thread deleted
Good. Eat shit, frog.
