Sadly, not Hoegaarden.

Fat Tire Amber. So fucking good.

Old Rasputin.

First time drinking it. Solid stout. Not the greatest stout ever conceived by man the way I sometimes see it talked about. Not worth the $9.99 for a four-pack I paid for it.

Pirkka lager. AKA: Supermarket brand beer, for the self-loathing brand-conscious modern man.

Blue Moon.

Figured I'd start the evening off with something light and crisp.

sipping on one of my homebrews right now. Just finished a kotbusser. Its an old german style wheat beer with oats, honey, and molasses.

op here
hoegaardern is ok, i prefer blue moon......it has more spice up in that bitch. dont get me wrong, its good! but its too damn light

easy street smells like ass wtf

Hoegaarden isn't that good, St. Bernardus is better, as is Franziskaner. I can get Hoegaarden at pretty much any 7-eleven

>>3902487

That's a fair description of Hoegaarden, OP. If you ever get the chance, try Flying Dog's Woody Creek Belgian White. Best tasting wit I've ever had.

>>3902503
>Flying Dog's Woody Creek
ill definitelly try it. i fukign love witbiers

Just bought a 4 pack of this delicious stuff

GOAT wheat beer here

Hoegaarden honestly isnt all that great. Most beers from Odell however are great

fuck you pretentious faggots.

>>3902568
Never seen beer sold in a bottle that shape.

Congrats on picking the best of the cheap beers, but calling people who aren't poor pretentious just makes you sound dumb

>Drinking HefeWeizen thinking it's what good beer tastes like just because it comes from Germany
>ISHYGDDT

Just because you buy imported German beer doesn't mean that shit tastes good. I went to Kaiserslautern and drank Hoegaarden, Franziskaner, and a bunch of other German beers on tap and it still tasted like a basket of dicks. Stop fooling yourself, people.

sierra nevada pale ale

>>3902572
I think most people understand that america surpasses Germany, but there are still plenty of great German beers

its just standard /ck/ trolling anonbrah. i really love you all. it's a 32oz bottle, for three bucks and some change for two, it's not so bad. washed down some in and out with it. a good friday treat for me.

>>3902582
are 32 oz bottles a regional thing, because I don't think I have ever seen any beer sold in that size

>>3902466

I agree wholeheartedly. There are better stouts out there that cost less.

>>3902450

I have not found a witbeer I enjoy, Hoegaarden included.

I am enjoying a New Belgium Red Hoptober. It is amazingly good. I am going to miss this beer and Sierra Nevada Tumbler when the season is over. In terms of beer, I wish it were Fall forever.

The GOAT beer of long island.

Fuck Blue Point in the butt.

>>3902587
quite honestly? i don't know i live on the west coast, and i see them all over California, and where I've been in Oregon. your mileage may vary.

>>3902590
when i get paid i want to get some pumpkin stout for sure. i do agree that fall/ winter is the best time for beer. can you say sierra nevada bigfoot?

>>3902590
you should try mothership wit by new belgium, high abv, 7.5% around there. very strong coriander notes.

>>3902602
not the guy you're talking to, but I really like New Belgium's Trippel, it's 7.8% and delicious

I had a coney island lager. Was good, but the flovor profile was huge and way off if what I was expecting.

>>3902590
this is why you got to homebrew bro. Its whatever season i fucking say it is when I brew.

>>3902607
pretty much all of the discover series is pretty good imho.

>>3902487

>prefering blue moon to hoegaarden

Holy fucking pleb, Batman, Hoegaarden is the goddamn benchmark of the style., Blue Moon is watery piss.

>>3902647
Honestllly both Hoegaarden and Blue Moon is bleh. The only reason why Blue Moon is worse in my book is because there are so many Bros who rave about it thinking its the beer drinkers beer

>>3902647
>Hoegaarden is the goddamn benchmark of the style
Its good, but thats quite an exaggeration.

Also Blue Moon is pretty mediocre, but I don't think watery is a good way to describe it

>>3902587

>are 32 oz bottles a regional thing, because I don't think I have ever seen any beer sold in that size

Califriend here as well, as far as I know their are local laws in other states/counties that can limit the size of beer bottles. I can find 32s and 40s in every corner store here, but I imagine in places more influenced by temperance movements of the past they're harder to come by.

>>3902655
>there are so many Bros who rave about it thinking its the beer drinkers beer
Really? I haven't seen this, In my experience its mostly women who buy blue moon

>>3902661
Well they strange thing here is I have seen all sorts of beers in 40oz bottles, never seen one in 32. Not sure why anyone would want to buy 32ozs instead of 40 though

>>3902647
>>3902655
it's a shame. then you tell them it's made by coors, and they still think it's good.

thisiswhyidrink.flac

>>3902666
brotip;
i can get 64oz of beer for the same price, or cheaper than a 40.

>>3902674
back in my college cheap beer drinking days I would only buy 30 packs, never wasted my time on buying single serving containers like a hobo

>>3902675
I'm only one man. if i wanted thirty, i would have bought thirty.

>>3902661
I can easily find 32oz or 40oz bottles with malt liqueur but hardly see anything above a 22-24oz for beer

>>3902671
It's Rickard's White in Canada, pretty much a dead giveaway

>>3902681
where you from anon?

>>3902682
id rather buy 30 or 60 at once rather than having to make another trip to get another single bottle every time I wanted to drink.

>>3902690
>implying you can't purchase multiple large bottles

>>3902692
sure you can, buy that seems much less convenient

>>3902688
Well I grew up in CA but now live in Denver CO

>>3902693
i ride a fixed gear bike,
>inb4 hipster
hauling around a 30 of whatever isn't my bag. if i. wanted to get plastered I'd just get liquor. to each his own, this next one is for all my anons.
>>3902696
that's, cool bro. i hear the weather changes at the drop of a hat. i once screwed a chick that said she was from Westminster, nice girl. the bottle sizes probably had to do with your local laws maybe.

Does anyone else have the problem where they physically can't get drunk because they get incredibly hungry? I had 7 beers (I know, so hardcore) and I just ate half my kitchen. Now I'm completely sober and wondering why I even bothered.

>>3902729
One thing I learned in college is that a 30 pack fits perfectly into my backpack

>>3902739
i have that problem when grilling, i tend to graze while i drink and grill at the same time so i have to pretty much slam beers to become intoxicated.

>>3902747
Yeah, I think beer should just be more of a social beverage and liquor should be for the "I want to wake up and not remember what I did last night" beverage. It's getting awfully expensive to drink beer when I eat so damn much along with it.

>>3902744
i can only fit about a twelve pack in my messenger bag, i only get a thirty if I'm riding with friends. cause then we can distribute it evenly. we like to mash holmes.

>>3902739
>>3902747
Drink stronger beers.

I have a question, /ck/. I have tried several light beers and found them all to taste like fucking piss water. Not saying no one should ever drink them, enjoy what you will, but they are not for me. Should I bother trying dark beers or will I hate them equally?

Drank two 14 oz goblets of Southern Tier Pumking and a Bitch Creek. This is more alcohol than I've had in a month.

>>3902780

there are plenty of robust beers that aren't dark in color

try better beer in general

or don't

do whatever

>>3902783

I don't remember the names of the brands I tried, unfortunately, but they were not cheap ass beers like Coors or anything. Recommendations?

>>3902780
Color is irrelevant. I'd recommend starting with some kind of Belgian strong ale. Duvel is good and available everywhere. Tripel Karmeliet is even better if you can find it.

>>3902615

I've been wanting to homebrew for awhile now, but I'm in school and I barely have enough time to enjoy beer, much less make it. One day I will relish my fridge full of delicious homebrew. Just not now.

>>3902594
I've never had a pumpkin stout. It sounds intriguing. The last pumpkin beer I had was a Blue Moon seasonal at a party. It tasted watery and wasn't nearly spicy enough.

>>3902602

I will give it a try sometime, but I doubt I'll like it. New Belgium hasn't done me wrong yet.

>>3902527
Saw that the other day. How is it?

>>3902813
>barely having enough time to enjoy beer in school

Shit man, what kind of school is that, I spent a hell of a lot of time enjoying beer when I was in school

>dat feel when you buy the last of a delicious seasonal beer your store has in stock and know you probably wont see it again until spring

Drinking a sierra nevada torpedo can and will later move on to deschutes black butte porter.

Had some Sapporo with dinner and moved on to Stone 16th Anniversary. Pic sadly unrelated.

>>3902844
Oh, stone 16th was just okay imo.

the 15th was loads better as well as the ruination 10th.

>>3902844

Pliny is so over-rated bro. It's pretty good on tap, but in bottle, hardly worth it. IMHO. Get some pliny the younger then talk to me.

>>3902858
I think PTY is overrated too...

most san diego DIPAs and some other california dipas i enjoy just as much if not more than it.

>>3902850
Agreed. I liked 12th a lot too. Still have a bottle somewhere

>>3902858
Nigga please. I drank a whole growler of Younger myself one glorious Saturday. Elder in bottles has varied a lot, but I rarely see it for sale at all anymore. Even when it's on it's not my favorite (see Younger), but it's better than Stone 16th.

Pic again unrelated.

it was national beer day yesterday, so here was my 6 pack

ITT
shit taste
fucking casuals.
im fucking out

In St. Louis we just drink anything inbev since it's all been bottled less than two weeks it's all fresh and great.

Have fun drinking shit that's been warm on the shelf for 4-5 months.

>>3903257

And you also have Schlafly. It's just not fair.

Hoegaarden?

Average as fuck beer on tap in shitty Weatherspoons pubs.
