The fucking hyped up IPA's are so stupid. There's no fucking reason they cant make heady, hopslam,etc. all year long. But they are not selling beer they are selling hype. So many good double ipa's out there that are available all the time and don't cost a fucking fortune.

Whenever I first started drinking it I really liked it. It was smooth, and had this little banana after taste.
I would find myself thinking about the taste and thinking about drinking one after I had gotten home.
But now they just seem bitter to me, no matter how cold I get them. They taste like piss, like all the others.

>>722747756
Erm what do I do because I don't really like beer or larger for that matter. :/ wish I did tho.

>>722748717
>hype

na brah, its about capacity of their brewery and scheduling. Sure they could make that year round, but they'd remove several other beers from their yearly lineup. Which would inherently hurt the brand.

Just look at the color of that beer and you can already tell it's going to taste like shit.

>>722750007
You just got a fag palatte there 007. A man wants a cold beer period. Not hints of banana.

Rogue is fine, it's just kinda overrated and their styles are often off. The brewmasters there openly only brew stronger beers to hide defects they may have, and do not put bottling dates on the bottles because they try to make beer that won't show too many defects when it goes out of date. For these reasons, a lot of the community sticks their nose up at them, but honestly, they aren't terrible.

So yeah Pliny the Younger, and the Elder for that matter, are pretty delicious but Russian River makes them "rare" by their own choice, it is false rarity

I'd take a stab at the rogue chocolate stout then. It's really good, but not outstanding, but for some reason it gets world class reviews. Sounds like it'd be right up your alley, and if you aren't wowed by it, you get to feel superior to all those online reviewers that give it 99/100

I've noticed a few things after many years of drinking.

1:beer in a can isn't as good tasting to a bottle even if it's the same beer.

2:some beers if you let the unopened beer go warm then cool it down again it can change the taste.

3:once you are more than 24 full strength beers into a drinking session you don't care about the taste.

4:some beers taste better from the tap,but others taste better from the bottle.

5:adding strong flavored ginger whine to a beer makes a good ginger beer.

Sip of Sunshine is pretty good too. Pliney our in the west coast is awesome too. But its all personal taste. What is rated good doesnt mean shit if you don't like it..

Pliny the Elder is not rare. You can buy cases of it anytime you go to their brewery. RR doesn't distro very well, so I can see it being rare from that perspective. You can pretty much get it on tap anytime in California at some beer bar in town.

Heady says that cause its an ugly fucking beer with lots of floc and when they first made it, clarity was a huge factor among many beer drinkers. Now with the NE hazy IPAs that look like macerated cum, Heady would look downright gorgeous.

I used to hype the shit out of Yuengling because I was 4 states away from the nearest distribution. Scarcity driven praise.

One day, I started re-evaluating the things I drank based on merit, and not "I've always liked it." Needless to say, the next time I objectively tried a Yuengling it lost its magic. It's really just a standard American Lager.

Oof. Good stuff, but I can barely drink a bottle before I need something else.

I live by monkish in Los Angeles so I got my NE IPAs covered. They're always pouring and filling growlers of something good. Also their releases are always surprise release so us locals don't have to camp for hours with out of town assholes.

With homebrew, to do a beer as big as a barleywine, its best not to sparge. Since there is so much residual sugar, after doing a first running of the mash (simply draining the wort after the mash), you sparge the mash and drain into a second vessel. So this way, you get one high gravity, one low gravity beer. You generally have to add in a bit more malt extract into the second running beer.

Anyway, without a recirculator on the mash, this is the best way to do a big beer and not waste a ton of money by throwing away a bunch of good wort.

I give no regard to the trips you scored, as your comment has only managed to make you sound like a pubescent simpleton.

One of my least favorites is a "Serious."

It's a 50/50 pour of Summit: EPA and Surly: Furious. All the local bars used to serve them and people would drink it like it was free.

Any beerbros have any suggestions for something similar?

Anyone else drink this ever? Probably my favorite IPA and I can get it on draft around my area. My second favorite is probably Rando IPA.
