I have a half case of Blue Moon I got for Christmas and a couple of cans of Nordeast that I have left. Probably gonna polish the Nordeast off today, since I have the day off.

Actually got a homebrewing kit for Christmas, so I'm doing my first brew right now. Already have a wheat beer in its jug to ferment. Probably not gonna bother bottling since it only made a gallon and between me and a couple friends we could polish it off in a day.

It's safe to assume that any brewery that would describe a beer as a "black witbier" is fucking retarded. Witbier means white beer, not wheat beer. It's a specific style of wheat beer. If it's dark in color than it cannot be a witbier by definition.

over the last year or two my love of beer has really blossomed. old rasputin used to be the only beer I would drink (and is still probably my favorite) but I'm now a fan of a lot of darker beers, particularly stouts and porters.

Should be fine. Hoppy beers should be consumed as fresh as possible, the less hoppy the beer the less it matters, and many darker, stronger beers get better with age.

I've worked for two different MillerCoors distributors in two different states(California and Oregon) and I can tell you in both places Coors/Coors Light were the same price.

Coors Light was marketed towards everyone as we would usually have promotional POS for stuff like Major sports team or events(NASSCAR) while Coors Banquet was marketed towards the rednecks/country folk (Coors Rodeo and a promotion called 'Protect Our West' which means MillerCoors would donate a little bit of money to nature reserves in Wyoming/Montana/Colorado etc.. for every case of Coors Banquet sold during a brief period of time.)

The weird thing is at the California distributor we sold MGD and Miller Lite a dollar cheaper than Coors products since Miller sold like absolute shit in the area (The AB distributor did the same thing with their Bud Regular 12 pack can packages, except they'd go 3 dollars cheaper than Bud Light)

The real reason is elderly and late middle aged people came of age when good beer just wasn't available, and good cocktails were much less popular so they learned to drink wine once they had money as it was the only quality choice. Thats very far from the situation these days so wine lost its place as the "classy drink to show everyone how classy you totally are" that it currently still holds for many old people, which was really its main draw the whole time

Not to imply wine is bad or anything, its fine, but there are usually many better options available and most people 40s and under came of age with this expectation

[Anonymous No.9911565]

>>9911557
Good wine wasn't really available back then either, not for prices ordinary people could afford. Advances in logistics, agriculture, and oenology have drastically improved the availability of decent wine in the last 30 odd years, in parallel with the beer boom.

But "everyone" drank beer when my dad was growing up. At the time wine was considered pretentious. So my dad will drink wine at a fine restaurant, or at Christmas, but it isn't what he gravitates towards when he wants to relax, unlike my generation where it's considerably more common to have individual preferences instead of just drinking something because it's what "everyone" does.

My point is that that doesn't imply I am an alcoholic which was your previous point

KBS has a better flavor profile than any wine, wine is good but it just doesn't have anything that can compete with the best beers for flavor

[Anonymous No.9911740]

>>9911725
The point is you set your own limits based on disposable income. If a $20 alcoholic beverage seems like it's threatening to make you go bankrupt, there might be an issue

>KBS has a better flavor profile than any wine
Hamburg sandwiches have a better flavor profile than any soup. See, I can say dumb shit too

Yea, but it's too overprice. At least for the places I've been. I know quality beer is expensive, but 50 pesos for a tecate is ludicrous.

What do you mean by flip flop? I'm explaining to you that each individual sets his ceiling. You've apparently set yours at a level where you're experiencing resentment against an inanimate beverage, not just an inanimate beverage but the "ordinary everyman" sub-segment of that beverage, the kind catering to dental hygienists and that sort of demographic. Perhaps you might see why I might think you have a problem?

>>9911925
Well firstly, craft beer is a niche market in Mexico, so, at least for the time being until either the market develops further or the economy radically changes, "nice" beer is going to reflect something closer to international prices. You're just not going to find a locally brewed DIPA for the cost of Tecate. Second, why would you go to Mercado Roma and order garbage beer like Tecate? That's like going to Pujol and asking for dorilocos.

[Anonymous No.9911970]

>>9911956
Nah I didn't order tecate, but if the shittiest beer is 50 pesos, it's a sign all the other beers are ovepriced as well. I mean, I usually go to "La Internacional" in tlalpan center, but it's usually poorly stocked, but the prices are more sensible. I'm looking for something that only sells beer.

Wait, what beverage is catered specifically to dental hygienists? What are you even ranting about?

[Anonymous No.9912000]

>>9911970
Hm. Yeah I've only been on business, my knowledge of the city is pretty superficial, but for instance a nice restaurant could charge 4x the market rate for coca cola, doesn't mean that the prices on other beverages are 4x the market rate. Just means that they have coca cola just in case some weirdo decides he wants it instead of a good drink. I would think that the same applies to ordering Tecate at a place like that.

>young women love shitty white wine

I can confirm this. My sister always has a bottle of shitty chardonnay in the fridge, which she calls "jug wine". I've tried it, and it's horrendous. I see young women, in their 20s and 30s, drinking chardonnay all the time. Yet I'm a woman in that same age range, and I never really got a taste for wine.

I think it's probably a cultural thing rather than any sort of genetic predisposition. Wine (at least in the US) is seen as a "girly" drink, especially lately with all those sequined wineglasses and "I'm an alcoholic lolololo" accessories you see around. Women are programmed to think that they have to like wine, and men are programmed to think they have to like beer.

I'm not talking about what cultured people do. Cultured people like chardonnay, and never stopped drinking chardonnay just because butter bomb full malo was a critter wine staple in a certain recent historical period, resulting in a backlash within that same demographic.

I'm talking about mainstream, man-on-the-street trends in wine drinking, as I assume we were all discussing, since your comment was about generalities, as opposed to what elite sophisticates enjoy. Mainstream trends are what you see in the vin au verre, happy hour, $8 glass segment. And that segment got hit hard by the ABC bug starting in the mid 2000s. Only provocatively hip joints are going back to chard by the glass and they usually present it with a long winded disclaimer about how they totally know what you're thinking and this one is different.

I mean I can, and did many times and more in college. But I would rather drink 4-5 nice beers and not feel full than 8 light beers and feel pretty full for the same amount of alcohol (and of course the taste is an even more important factor)

Had this at the brewery the other day, it's not bad, but I agree, the peanut butter was very subtle. After it warmed up a bit it became more pronounced. Still a pretty good porter, but their Cuban coffee stout was better.
