/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Bought myself two Orvals and a Glass one week ago, shit's pretty good even though i usually prefer wine.

>cally 80

my session beer

they've recently renamed it "edinburgh castle beer" to target tourists and millennials who don't know the difference between 60, 70, 80 shilling

>>9487013
I live across the street from their Torpedo Room. I might just head over and get a growler of something now that you made me think of it.

>>9487276
Chico sucks these days, get out while you still can

>>9487285
I don't live in Chico...

>>9487072
> tourists and millennials who don't know the difference between 60, 70, 80 shilling

£3, £3.50 and £4.00 a glass I'm guessing?

>>9487013
There's a wheat beer they made for blues and brews. Free backstage. I like it better than the pale ale.

>>9487013
MY NIGGA

>>9487288
That being said, I'll contribute one of my all-time favorites.

IPAs are trash. I can't wait for them to fall out of popularity so breweries will stop focusing on them so much.

>>9487368
Why do you say they're trash? Can you pin it down to a/some specific aspect(s) you don't like?

>>9487368
Drinking this tonight thought you might appreciate it. I like their delicious IPA a bit more though

>>9487376
They're entirely too bitter and taste awful. Haven't found a single IPA that I enjoyed after the first sip.

>>9487382
You might enjoy an IPA that is geared more towards the citrus fruit spectrum. Those tend to blend the tartness of citrus in a way that minimizes the bitterness of the hops.I say this as someone who wasn't a big fan, but is growing increasingly fond of IPAs since moving to CA.

>>9487389
I don't like fruity beers because I have a dick and balls.

just came home with some cider from vermont. drinking now.

>>9487395
Apparently not if you can't handle bitter tastes. You use sugar to down medicine, don't you?

>>9487395
You're offered a free draft of an IPA
>I can't drink this because it's too bitter for muh palate
>I have a dick and balls
Choose one.

>>9487400
You're suggesting that instead of drinking shitty hipster beer, I drink shitty hipster bitch beer instead.

>>9487410
I'll drink it if it's free but I won't go out of my way to buy shitty bitch beer.

>>9487414
I implied no such thing, but sure, anon. You're right.

>>9487419
Don't feed obvious trolls, anon

>>9487419
Any beer with any hint of fruit is bitch beer.

>>9487423
I'm done.

>>9487395
t. palateless fruit

>>9487429
t. faggot

only drink beer that i've brewed

This thread quickly went to shit.

>He doesn't like lambics

>>9487013
I will always try local brews. Some good some not so good. I'm going to a blocktoberfest tomorrow to try out a new brewery in town. My favorite local right now is True Vine brewery.. I support the brand because they are just really great people...and they make really good beer.

True Vine Promised Land is my favorite by them atm. Right now I'm trying Mermaids and Unicorns, a pale ale, that the guys brewed in honor of their bby girls. It's decent.

Deep Ellum Easy Peasy is also good...Dallas brewery.

However....My favorite IPA at the moment is Dankasaurus. Smells like weed when you open it but it's smooth as silk. Excellent brew!!

>encased in armor, reinforced can won't cuck your beer if you lightly drop it unlike limp-wristed pussy ass bottles
>all natural, no artificial craft trickery involved
>won't run into any hipster faggots buying it, worst case scenario a homeless guy smoking a cigarette asks you for one and you do some good for the community by giving it to him
>3.50 for 2 as long as you don't live in a backwards hellhole where uncle sam has a monopoly on your swill
>big masculine can reminds ladies of your thick, long cock - even says "THE BIG ONE" at the top so that they know what's up

take the Natural Ice pill

Try this shit bros. It's dangerously easy to drink and tastes good with most meals. One will help your head and two is a party.

>>9487473
Looks good. I'm the same way. Here's an Alt I bottled 1 month ago. Nice and malty with a slight hop kick at the end. I just bottled a New Glarus Spotted Cow clone using a Wyeast Kolsch yeast a couple days ago. Tasted great but it's not ready yet.

I drink only craft brews when I'm out and about, but I only drink homebrew at home unless it's some kind of gathering with a lot of people.

>>9487620
I like founders but that's one of the worst I've ever had. my friend likes it

>>9487295
nope.

comes from the olden days when you would pay more tax based on how strong the beer was.

eg 70/- tax on a barrel of 3.5 - 4.0%abv
80/- tax on barrel of 4 - 5.5%abv

it was still a fairly common way to differentiate between scottish ales up until recently.

Very fruity gueze!

>>9487620
that shit is vile, Founders has really been turding it up recently

today is the day that I discovered that (hard) cider goes with curry better than lager or pale ale.

there. I've admitted it

Eddyline Brewing Co. - Epic Day IPA

>>9487378
I actually enjoy stone ipa
Good shit

>trying to lose weight
>have to cut off beer

Life hurts.

>>9488119
Just don't

>>9488119
Exercise more

Best non ba Russian imperial stout I've ever had.

Just bought a 6 pack of this. Collaberation between a Danish and Indiana brewery made in Wisconsin. Love the black cans for some reason. Also pretty good beer

>>9487382
Do you live in California c2005?

Just bought a beer called Autumn Ale. Holy shit is it terrible. Tastes like mud

This beer is fucking incredible. My favorite Flemish red at the moment.

What to get what to get

Went across the street to Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Room. What the hell for $7.

>>9487013
Have some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Oktoberfest. How's the latter?

>>9488333
I love Torpedo. I actually bought some yesterday which I'm still working on. Also got some Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Extra, it's pretty nice as well.

>>9488333
Pretty damn fresh.

>>9487013
Sierra Nevada is not God tier.

>>9487981
>beer with fruit flavoring
>God tier

>>9488580
> Lambic
> beer

Pick only one.

>>9487542
Hey I've had that but not in a tallboy. Hoppy within reason, pretty tasty

>>9487971
This years release of the breakfast stout is ace as always

>>9487981
Paradox has recently shown up at my local place, what's worth checking out from them?

>>9488237
The hype around this is real, if you're a stout man it's worth seeking out

Anyone here ever have Saranac beer? I love the Pale Ale and Adirondack Lager

>>9487276
Have you tried their Crystal Wheat?

>>9487368
they can be good, but they're a little played out

>>9488760
Yes. It's decent and drinkable, but I don't think there's anything exceptional about it.

I prefer darker beers, and it seems like this tasting room carries a lot of dark, small-batch beers in order to gauge consumer reaction. They've made some really fantastic barrel-aged brews that have a very limited market supply. For example, they recently had a dark chocolate and coconut, barrel-aged Narwhal. It was like drinking a milder Almond Joy that was coated in dark chocolate.

ha

>>9488328
Where is this?

>>9488969
Yes lad!

>>9487992
Patrician tier cider that

Got sent this as a freebie by my club.
No idea what to expect.

>>9487612
Underrated

>>9487013
>Only God tier brews
>Starts with pleb Cascade hop ale
Ya fucked up op.

hola

>>9488346
Been through 2 six packs of the 2017 Oktoberfest. Not quite as malty as I was hoping for, but still a really solid beer to go with a meal

>>9487013
>general

>>9488346
I havent had a huge amount of new beers this year, but the oktoberfest is my top beer of 2017 at the moment

>>9487992
>(hard) cider

As opposed to what, gooey cider? Fluffy cider?

>>9491140
in america english, cider generally refers to mulled cider. Apple juiced heated with spices and shit. Whereas 'hard cider' is the alcoholic version of apple juice

>>9491211
Incorrect. In America regular cider refers to, essentially, unfiltered apple juice pressed from fresh apples and is very different from regular apple juice.

Mulled cider is made by mulling the cider (not apple juice) with spices.

Hard cider is alcoholic

>>9491232
I'd say that generally people refer to mulled cider as simply 'cider'

>>9491211
Does whiskey now refer to wheat juice?
Should I start referring to mashed potatoes as vodka?

>>9491293
guess what? Words mean different things in different dialects sometimes

>>9491410
You've already got the word juice
Cider is expressly a fermented alcoholic product

Why would you use a booze name to mean something that isn't booze?
What retard thought this was a good idea and why would you willingly go along with this retardation?

>>9491438
I don't know. I didn't make the rules
Also note, Americans rarely drink hard cider (though it has gotten much more popular recently), while mulled cider is a common childhood drink in the autumn

>>9488385
Little Sumpin' Extra is definitely good. I'm going to get some now, and I didn't even feel like getting out today. Thanks, ass.

Today's Torpedo Room selection.

>>9487389
Not that guy, but thank you for reminding me that I have had an IPA that I've actually liked. It was grapefruit (which I hate in general) and of course an IPA (obviously I'm not very fond), so I immediately thought "yep, this is going to be terrible". It was the only beer in the house at the time, and being a borderline alcoholic, obviously I had no choice but to drink it anyways. It blended together so nicely, I think it gave me a newfound respect for grapefruit.

>>9491821
I don't like fresh grapefruit much, but it works really well in IPA

>>9491835
It truly does. Is there any type of citrus that goes better with IPAs? Would like to find more that I would enjoy.

>>9487612
This actually tastes better than bud light.

>>9492335
Milwaukee's Best Ice does too

>>9487013
but sierra nevada is shite
>>9491802
so is torpedo

>>9488328
Enjoyed Southern Tier's Warlock last night, would suggest if you tryna indulge on a dessert stout. Following up with another of theirs (pic related) tonight cause I have an insatiable sweet tooth and am a sucker for novelty

I wish more breweries made porters.

>>9492389
Wait till their heavenly "seasonal" winter IP comes out. Holyshit I never smelled, tasted hops that fresh before.

>>9492454
how does it compare with my favored ipa, boulevard double wide

>>9492454
Are you talking about Celebration Ale? That shit is divine. I get a 12-pack every year. I remember SN's stout being really good as well, though I haven't had any in a couple of years.

>>9492452
Me too, nigga. And I mean regular porters, not "hickory smoked chili porter" or whatever the fuck weird concoctions you always see because no one wants to put out just a porter.

>>9492486
https://www.boulevard.com/beerinfo/bully-porter/
you might like this if you get boulevard in your area,

>>9492486
It seems like it's gotten even worse in the last few years too. Bell's is the only one I can reliably find anymore.

>>9491264
Grew up in apple country. Have never heard anyone refer to mulled cider as just cider. Most cider is served cold and unflavored.

>>9487382
Agree. Tastes like licking a fucking pine tree

>>9492493

People who can't shut up about how much they hate IPAs are fucking annoying. The constant "too bitter to drink" actually makes me wonder whether we're drinking the same thing.

>>9492480
Yep. That's the one.

>>9492463
Dunno. Haven't tried that.

$15 for a 750mL. I used to buy two on pay day, get blitzed, and play survival horror games.

>>9487276
You boast about this every fucking thread you bastard.

anyone else drink while taking antidepressants? what has been your experience

I tried one of those build your own six pack things and hated every single one. It included Switchback, which my brothers apparently both like.

Recommend me a good tasting beer that I am likely to find in a grocery store. I want to have something so i can drink with my brothers.

>>9492711
Can you at least tell us what else was in the 6 pack so that we might have some idea of what you don't like? It's impossible to recommend something without any knowledge of what you like or don't like.

>for the king of beers

>>9492728
Fat Tire, two variations of Switchback (Extra Pale Ale and just plain old Switchback), and Magic Hat's Mother Lager, and two ciders.

I thought it was a decent variety.

>>9492748
Yeah, I probably would have expected you to at least favor something out of that even if you didn't really like them. Was there anything about any of them you liked? Or what specifically did you like the least about them?

If you want less pronounced flavors I'd look for something labeled pilsner. If you want more maltiness I'd try a brown ale.

>>9487013

>>9492452
Bells porter is a nice one that is very widely available. In the US at least.

>>9492729
A perfect beer for getting half liters and chilling on the pebble beaches on the Adriatic.

>>9492689
Wouldn't you?

>>9492664
so good

>>9487013

Moon Juice is the god of all beers. 7.7% and its fucking delicious. Every time I drink another beer I cry a little.

>>9493434

*7.3%

>>9492834
Well, I disliked Mother Lager because it smelled and tasted a bit like skunk water. Switchback was OK I guess, but the taste of hops was a bit strange to me. The Extra Pale variant however was far far too bitter. Fat Tire I can't quite remember. The two ciders were pretty good, but the aftertaste was terrible.

This shit... i literally cried when they stopped making it, you can sometimes find a bottle on ebay. It was like drinking a fine cognac out of a snifter, but way more flavorful

>>9492923
Yes bastard.

>>9493625
>patrician as fuck

This is easily my favorite beer. Melvins is hard to get where I live unfortunately. I highly recommend this as well as everything they make.

When it comes to stouts, how do you taste anything other than the coffee?

>>9495177
Draught stouts are just malty.

>>9495177
sometimes chocolate

>>9495177
Stout is kinda like coffee, but better

>>9492729
literally the worst croatian beer

>>9487013
i'm thinking of getting into alcoholism. can you guys recc me some patrician entry-level lagers? preferably something that eases me into the real bitters

>>9492452
Well founders is decently readily available and I really liked it when I had it. My problem with porters and stouts and beers like that is that I live in Florida and it always just seems more enjoyable and appropriate to drink something a bit more refreshing. But I havent really given them a true shot considering all Ive had is a pack of Founders Porter a while ago, just seems like I could only drink them at night or something. Any other hot weather anons have this problem?

>>9492700
Depends. with Setraline I'd get pretty drunk, depressed nothing crazy. On Wellbutrin I'd get drunk after 4-5 beers. I had a really high tolerance being fat,and well in the army- it make me black out when I wasn't my usual level of drunk I needed to be. Fucking weird.

Tldr: don't drink on welbutrin unless you enjoy losing memory, and talking shit to people you no longer talk to

>>9492848
Decent beer. Best pitcher beer you can get for cheap in DMV, but not a good tier by any means.

Rainy, cloudy and cold here. Enjoying a few of these while I cook up some ribs.

>>9495781
what would the best croatian beer be? when I'm in croatia I just usually buy slovenian shite (lasko).

Delirium Tremens

had a stone imperial russian stout, 2016 vintage. It was absolutely delicious.

I like these but they only come in variety packs and everything else my liquor store sells are IPAs

For me it's Past Blue Robbin

>>9487396
I'm jealous. Vermont has best cider and ipa

>>9496400
I always wonder why the Sapporo cans are so fucking tough

I wasn't gonna drink tonight, then I saw this thread

>>9496858
>>9487396
Native Vermonter here. I didn't realize our stuff was anything special.

>>9496874
It really is.
Vermont beer to me is much less corporate then most beer here on the west coast.
Lost Nation is my favorite brewery in VT

>>9491786
ah man, I evacuated for Irma and went to stay with family in Cleveland, saw the brewery and tried as much of their stuff as possible it was all wonderful. Wish I could get in here in SW FL. Have to stick to Yuengling

>>9496198

for real? I suppose I should switch to those from welbutrin. I get massive anxiety attacks after mixing the two.

>>9488328
mississippi mud is fantastic

>>9487041
Orval is great.

>>9492664
This, really good one. Piraat is great too.
Why don't we discuss about good belgians instead of those shitty ipa?

>>9492435
>>9488328
Everything southern tier does is delicious, I would get the stone Fruitallica on the bottom, it's very different, but fun to try.

>>9488328

La Roja, top left

One of the best priced sours on the market

New Mikkeller haul!

>>9496842
This was actually my go-to drinking beer for a while because all that I had to compare to it was bud

>>9498835
I live near jolly pumpkin. It is shit and only good for trade bait to hipster shits on the west coast to meme people here out if better shit. Bought a rodenbach grand cru (Not pictured) and paid for it with 2 perrin malted milk ball sales. Shit is actualy very nice and I may not sell the rest

>>9496181
This is a pretty shit porter. Thin and bitter for being such a high abv.

Colourpill me on Shiner's Oktoberfest

>>9499264
You lucky bastard.
>tfw no Mikkeler Vancouver

Was recently gifted a bottle of this. I figure it's past its prime, but I hope it's still good.

Winter is fast approaching, I can't wait til they pull this out again

>>9501075
Ages GREAT

Going to grab a 6 pack of this. Probably going to regret it

>>9501221
FUCK

This is easily my favorite beer. If I wasn't so poor I'd drink it way more often.

O.K.

>>9501235

this sounds thicker than my jizz

never drank before any recommendations?

>>9501738
Miller High Life The Champagne Of Beers.

>>9501235
its sounds worth a try but thats all it is really, just worth a try. theres a reason youll see the packs marked down at the end of the season.

>>9501738
if you can locate a new glarus fruit beer that would be a good point of entry for something relatively sophisticated and palatable to anyone who hasnt had beer before

>>9500723
Sucks to be on the east coast of the USA where there are multiple on the west. Surprising that even New York doesn't have one yet.

>>9487473
Are you me?

I just finished a Kolsch(ish) with mandarin peel and a Red Ale with an oak chip finish

>>9501112
I really have to stop at the BDT sometimes, I grew up not too far from Hull and never tasted their beers. Also, nice to see some Québec beers itt

Don't mind me, just posting an actual good beer.

It's definitely one of the worst Australian craft beers, but it's leagues past anything Carlton personally makes.

>Thinking of getting into alcoholism

>>9502414
Coopers Sparkling longnecks bruv. Prancing Pony if I feel like getting fancy, Boags if I'm after a smashable lager.

>>9502437
Honestly never had it, will grab some next time I'm at the bottle-o.
I like the Mercy Draft Cider, but my local liqure land doesn't stock it.

>>9502414
Cooper's Sparkling is probably a good choice for a beer that gets pretty broad distro in bottles at least. It's an Australian owned company too, not some Japanese car company owned brewery trying to masquerade as some dinky-di Victorian brand with some manufactured bullshit backstory like every other pissweak bullshit mock-craft beer shat out out by Woolworths, Coles-Wesfarmers, SAB Miller...

>>9502445
It's a bit heavy if you're used to drinking lagers but it does get you pissed and genuinely doesn't taste like any other beer on the market.

>>9498054
said no one ever.

>muh gimmicky bottle targeted at college kids trying their first "craft' beer.

>>9488593
>samuel smith, a beer brewed in england presumably (not belgium)

it tastes like shit since they were bought by miller though.

Call me bastard one more time.

Bought this today. Going to have it when I'm done with my finals on friday. Can't wait.

>>9503162

Good on you. You'll deserve a nice tripel after finals!

>>9503215
Thanks m8. I will.

>>9487936
Tasted this garbage. It's basically one of those alco-sodas. Tastes like monster energy drink. That said monster energy drink is nice and brings back memories but still.

If you ever get the chance to buy this, I really recommend it.

>>9492711 here. Got another pack with six new ones. Will report findings.

>>9503185
I recently tried Rochefort 8 and 6 after having first tasted 10 a while back. I don't see what the big deal with 8 is, it just felt like a watered down 10 on all fronts. The 6 had more of a unique identity with a lighter, refreshing taste and ridiculous carbonation, so I might consider buying that again sometime, but why go for 8 if you could buy 10?

Absolute best
No competition at all.

>>9487368
Agreed. I mean people can like what they like. But every brewer near me had like 7 different ipas all year and like 1 or 2 other beers that are only available at certain times.

>>9492848
Best of the cheap beers.

>>9492848


When I was in Philadelphia for a week this is all I drank. Mid-summer 90+ F every fucking day, literally the perfect lager. It was like sipping on god's sweet nectar.

>>9504640
Got Long Trail Ale, Long Trail Limbo IPA, Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo, Samuel Adams Oktoberfest, Unearthed, and Von Trapp Pilsner.

Unearthed tastes vile. I was waterboarded with the taste of a thousand farts condensed into one sip. Smells precisely how it tastes.

Von Trapp Pilsner has a slight bad taste to it, but it is totally mild compared to the shitwater of Unearthed. It has a similar smell to Unearthed, but it isn't noticeable unless I look for it.

Octoberfest smells okay, and the taste is fine. Has a shitty bitter aftertaste that I can't get past though. No fun.

Long Trail Ale has a smooth taste, with a less noticeable bitterness than the Octoberfest. Might be my current favourite as far as beer goes.

Limbo IPA is just gross. The bitterness hit immediately and the taste added to the bitterness.

Tropical Torpedo is worse than Limbo. It doesn't taste tropical at all and I feel lied to. Betrayal, a bitter taste in my mouth, and now the cap is missing.

Thoughts? I might just fucking quit trying to enjoy beer and stick to whiskey and rum.

>>9504422
That's a staple here in the Bay Area.

>>9504802
If you think that's god's nectar you clearly have never drank a decent Lager.

I wish I could send some to you.
See if you can buy KING LAGER by DUM, it's a microbrewery from Brazil.

>>9504666
god i fucking hate everything Rogue does so fucking much.

nice satanic trips though

>>9503197

Went deliciously with spicy bbq ribs

What do I get? Should I go with IPA or Ale

>>9505105
>retarded faggot

>>9488564
It's the progenitor of our current Renaissance.

>Whelp...

>>9492848
As someone raised in the Mid-Atlantic this is a staple beer that everyone drinks, maybe a tier or two above the big lagers.

In the mid to late 2000s I used to see people on the west coast trading for it on beer forums like it was the east coast Russian River or something. It was quite hilarious. Not making fun of anyone, but it's pretty much a go to beer for teenagers and 20 year olds over here, so it was weird to see people trying to get it like that. Always made me wonder what the west coast version of this would be for us over here.

>>9505248

Shock top...

It's this great beer... maybe an ale not sure. Still could be an ipa. Bottom right corner of your pic either way.

>>9487342
The GOAT

>>9499264
I see that Mastodon brew in there. Is that any good or is it just another "band makes a beer" gimmick?

>>9492848
Garbage
Being slightly better than the macros doesn't make a beer god tier

I shall post about it in the thread when I have it.

The blueberry Berliner weisse wasn't that good unfortunately.

>nobody posted chouffe yet
Either you only talk about your local beers or you have awful taste

What next

>>9509162
One of the dark horses. That's a severely underrated brewery imo.

What are some stouts and porters you guys have fucked with? Trying out some Hangar 24 called chocolate Bomber if I'm remembering correctly.

>>9509347
I fuck with left hand's stout

this is garbage... the fucking anon who suggested this shit is a dead guy to me.

>>9509656

>>9487378
stone is fucking overpriced garbage.

>>9498054
one of the worst beers i've ever had.

>>9505402
You avoid shock top like the plague. Just get Left Hand. Almost everything is garbage.

i only drink beer when my mom isn't home but i like a good porter. only half of this post is bait

but all of it is true

this shit from my local brewery that I thought I would love since I enjoy IPA and peaty scotch
turns out it's pickles and ice cream
waste of $10

>>9496860
>>9502392
Should have asked your parents, they'd have your answer. That's how cans of soda and beer used to be.

>>9487936
geuze =/= gose

>>9502437
you're a total spastic if you think coopers red is better than a furph

actually I bet you're just an angry south australian who irrationally hates victorians

>>9487936
Stop buying Founders are support actual craft beer.

>>9502392
You do NOT fuck with the can return machine.

>>9510308
*tips fedora*

>>9510221
I bet you are some middle-class urbanite millennial bizarrohipster that smokes Winfield Blues and goes to Bunning's for the sausage sizzle post-ironically because you think it's fair dinkum as fuck, brah

Furphy is bland Jap pisswater

>>9509347
Honestly most are good. Seems like a difficult beer to fuck up. Even Guinness, the shittest stout, is good compared to 95% of other macros.

what are the best beers in Ecuador? plannign to go next week

>>9508495
Wjy drink it when duvel exist?

this is really good

i'm glad i just decided to pick them up while buying other beers


i even forgot my phone at home so i couldnt artistically search for reviews of it in the store and just had to buy it on feeling

>>9511563

spellcheck just let me put autistically. i dont care if its not a word man, cmon.

>>9487072
Caledonian is unequivocally the most rancid swill I've ever even imagined tasting. It's as if someone dropped a small handful of dusty, expired hops in a flat bottle of Bud Lite and shotgunned that mess into a keg, which was left open along the side of the A7 for several weeks.

>>9487368
I used to think IPAs were for pretentious tryhards, but after spending several months at bars that had nothing but IPAs and lagers, I have now developed a taste for IPA to the point that I genuinely find most other styles of ale less enjoyable.

>>9487395
>too bitter
>can't be seen drinking this fruit shit

Manlet detected

Where my recovering fatties at?

>>9505105
If you want a good desert beer (or just a heavy beer) the Left Hand Nitro Stout is definitely the GOAT in that category

>>9487013
>binge drinking since saturday
>first day no beer
>feel toxic, heart beating weird, hungry af
>beer wont even make me feel different

Goddamn I want a beer

>there are people who aren't from MA ITT
>are people who have never had Trillium or Treehouse ITT
Step it up, homies.

>like Sierra Nevada
>gives me a brutal case of the shits for some reason

anyone else know this feel?

>>9512916
this shit is just as similar to most light beer. YOu fell for the fucking meme commercials. Just drink mineral water.

>>9510011
Its $10 for a 6 pack. Pretty standard

>>9513661
$7 or $8 is standard desu, guess it's not that much more but why bother when there's cheaper better stuff?

>>9510858
they only seem to sell like 3 beers

Club and Pilsener are the main ones, I've had Club and it's good in my opinion for a pale adjunct style lager, but it's crisp and drinkable

Have a good time in Ecuador! I went there a few years ago and loved it.

>>9513752
not him, but where I live 10-11 is standard for craft beer

Nice to see Sierra Nevada is appreciated outside this shitty city.

>>9487378
stone ripper is pretty enjoyable.

>>9487382
i'm not generally into IPAs but ballast point sculpin is one of my favorite beers. somehow the hoppy bitterness doesn't really linger like it does with other beers, and the flavor is excellent.

>>9496400
i love these cans they're so fuckin cool

>>9488119
what i'll do is just block out ~45 minutes before a night of drinking and go to the gym and burn a few hundred calories on the elliptical or treadmill and then i can justify some drinking

>>9487612
my nigga

>>9505105
stone ripper is good. bottom right

>>9510001
I think Allagash is one of the most overatted, overpriced brands. Their white is such a joke compared to most European Whites.

>>9487612
the Chad beer

>>9492848
Tastes like fucking home

Smooth as a waxed cunt

I always return to St. Bernardus Abt 12 just to remind me how shitty most beer is.

This is my gold standard. Best BEER i've ever had.

It's a staple of my fridge.

Other cheep beers i keep in my fridge (for visiting guests to my home) is Rolling Rock, Yuengling and Killians Irish Red.

I used to keep JW Dundee Honey Brown and Newcastle Brown Ale and/or Hoegaarden, but these have lost quality when they were bought out by the MACROS. Taste cheap and shitty now.

>>9496874
You should go to Hill Farmstead. Best beer in the country.

>>9514511
It's one of the most popular craft beers in the country

I live in New York and it's a staple here

>>9514584
Have you ever had their Big Eye IPA? I drank a 6 pack of that and got fucked up and passed out in my friend's garage, it was weird because 6 beers usually barely gives me a buzz.

>>9487971
pic related is still one of my favorite IPAs
We just got dogfish head in Kansas too, and I'm having a hard time deciding if I like the heavy maltiness on the 90 minute.

>>9518980
have you had the 60 minute? that's the best IPA I've had so far

>>9518488

I like those also, it is my go to beer. If you can though try pic related, between the two of them I find it hard to chose which is best. Pic related is probably my favourite beer.

Malta's Cisk beer a shit

>>9487342
only the best

>>9518488
they only sell the 750 ml St. Bernandus where I live, will get it in a few weeks

very looking forward to trying it out

Dogfish head is fucking garbage, all their beers are way too malty. Only absolute plebs will disagree.

My favorite breweries: Lawson's, Southern Tier, Alchemist, Founder's.

>>9510029
>the joke
Your head

>>9520561
>Southern Tier
You had me except for that. A lot of their shit is often way to sweet or has some noticeably artificial flavors to it.

>>9504868
SOUNDS DUM

>>9505105
Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
Sierra Nevada Summerfest
Left Hand Nitro Stout

>>9516499
Their year round beers aren't amazing, but all of their limited releases are great.

>>9510039
ur not the only 1

my dad brought some of this during a visit. I enjoyed it very much.

>>9487342
Literally poured two bottles this down the drain, talk about an drink that tastes like a damp towel

Canada?

I got Henninger and Zywiec beer recommendations, what else is good?

>>9505398
Fuck you. You don't know a god damn thing about Texas beer. Not my fault the Midwest and New England area pump out the majority of alcoholics in this thread.

>>9505105
Friday IPA. Only real competitor to Deep Ellum IPA

>being this oblivious to xocovesa hype

This beer is god-tier in every respect. If you don't like dark beers, stouts, spiced beers, or chile'd beers then this beer is not for you and you can fuck off with your judgement.

If you're the kind of person that calls craft beer a "meme", then I implore you to take a look at any great invention and take note of how it evolved throughout history. Go look at what planes used to look like before we settled on the 747, or what doctors would prescribe their patients for the common cold before we settled on contemporary remedies (hint: it was meth and cocaine).

People should be so glad that Americans are creating every possible combination of beer, for better or worse, because that's how you discover something truly monumental. The first person to place beer in a bourbon barrel must have been laughed at and called an epic memer, but little did they know that the dude was onto something huge.
