Any Minnesotafags know good local stuff I should look into?

>>736947824
Just try stuff until you find what you enjoy. Life is an experience.

But you'll find that most drinks taste better when locally made.

Except the harder liquor. Always buy hard drinks from their country of origin.

Beer is very much an acquired taste, for experienced beer drinkers to tell you their favorites would be pointless as you haven't developed your palate to appreciate them.

Try a bunch of different craft brews and see what you like, then expand from there.

Why can't you fags drink even beer untill you're 21? How does your state justify this?

>>736947824
you're 21 and haven't already been drinking for years?
What the fuck are you - Canadian?

Go to a dispensary and get 3 beers that are relatively inexpensive of different styles.
Maybe ask the folks there.

I recommend this.
Don't start a habit of getting a 6 pack a week like I did.
Make it like 4 at max, unless you're hanging with friends.
I'm saying this because the alcohol levels of beer vary.
It's common for a lot of really good beers to be like 10-12%. Try not to become an alcoholic.

let's make a recommendation for a beginner. for someone who hasn't drank beer before, this list is just gonna confuse them. I'd recommend starting off with any mildly priced hefeweizen, as that's the most standard and easily drinkable beer.

Try. Stone ipa thay was my. Shit back in the day wen I was not dring piss

>>736948202
Asahi is literally a shitty malt liquor, how can you come off so condescending and so plebeian at the same time

Last time I was recommended a beer it was leif, but fuck beer, skip beer, smoke weed or drink whiskey, or baileys or kahluah and milk, it's way better.

Wheat beers are very good starting points. The style is very approachable. The most well know "craft" wheat is Blue Moon. It is basically the gateway craft beer. I say "craft" because it is made my Coors. If you want a more authentic craft experience, try Allagash White.

If you want to try multiple styles, head over to your local liquor store that has a decent selection, and ask somebody working there to point you in the right direction. Most liquor stores have ratings next to the more popular options. Plus, if you don't want to get a 6 pk of a single beer, most places allow you to make your own 6pk. Just make sure to check dates.

>>736952149
Which Jim? Belushi? Carter? Carrey?

>>736951530
See I just can't do hefeweizens at all...they taste like they're only half fermented. but if you want to go that route I guess Leffe or Hoegaarden would work.
As for the list, it's just my personal preference list after 20 years of drinking, I left a bunch off.
Tell you what, we can meet in the middle here:
OP, go get some Blue Moon on draft. It was one of the first beers I really enjoyed.

>>736947824

I love IPAs, but they are an acquired taste. Same with stouts. Pretty much anyone likes ciders, but theyre too sweet to have more than a few at a time. For pounding massive amounts of shitty beer at a party or concert, PBR.

>>736952569
yup. blue moon is really good.

You won't find any cheap fancy beer.
Heineken is acceptable, for it's price, i guess. Maybe Samuel Adams. I'm more familiar with Brazilian brands, like Baden Baden.
Really good beer isn't produced on a large scale.

TL;DR: avoid pilsen, stick with lager and ale. don't overthink too much, you might not even like beer, some people are gay like that.

Sadly nothing right now. Maybe a couple Yuenglings or PBRs later, someone left almost a 12 of each at my house last week.
Not a fan of the Sam Adams personally, just not much to it as a beer and I don't care for the finish, just tastes like the steel fermenter a bit. I will get a six of their Octoberfest every year though, not amazing, but a good change.
My region is really big on IPAs so there's always a selection of that floating around, but I usually only go for those if I'm trying to get a head start on getting fucked up.
Sours are getting big here too, and I really don't have the stomach for them.
What's your go-to beers usually?

>>736953134
>Really good beer isn't produced on a large scale.
Good point. Buying local/regional brews is likely to get best results, OP. If you're lucky, you live in New England.

>>736951123
this is a very informed post

>>736954142
my go to is almost always blue moon Belgium white, or some wildflower wheat from my local brewery. I like light beer in the summer, but winter, definitely a fan of reds

>>736954142
If you want a good Oktoberfest beer, look for Spaten's ur-märzen

>>736947824
Hey OP, Guy with the long ass list here-
Forgot to mention, if you can find Liquid Bliss by Terrapin Brewing, that would be a great starter for porters and stouts for you too.

>>736954351
Haven't found any reds I like really, but would be happy for some recommendations. You should try Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat, sounds like youd enjoy that. Float it with a Lambec, if you want to truly drink like a proper lady.

>>736954410
Will do, thanks. Heard of and seen Spaten but have never tried it. Will keep an eye out for it in a few months (seasonal, I assume?)

That's scotch, dipshit. And it's not even good scotch. Start your own thread.

i also liked köstritzer, sierra nevada, blah blah blah... dark beers and ipa

i used to drink at least a six pack a day when not drinking hard shit like bourbon and whiskey

now i don't drink at all

fun fact guinness is probably the healthiest beer you can drink, reason why it's called liquid lunch

Develop your own taste and don't let anyone tell you that the beer you like is bad. Unless you drink PBR, then the beer you like is bad.

>>736947824
Personally, I love porters/stouts, but that's because I have an irrational hatred of IPAs.
Just try things, OP, cross off what you like, make a list of what you do, look for similarites in what you do like, and go from there.

>>736947824
Forget brands, when first starting you should try different types/styles of beer.

Ales: Pale Ale, IPA, Red Ale, Brown Ale
Lagers: Pale Lager, Dunkel, Pilsner,
Wheat beer: Belgian, German styles
Porter
Lots of other regional and microbrew varieties

Most US popular beers (Bud, Coors, Corona, Heineken, etc.) are pale lagers.

Personally I'm not a fan of hops so I like brown and red ales as well as porters.

YMMV

>>736955768
Cristal and Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) are complete bullshit brands. Veuve Clicquot and Perrier Jouet are the only champagnes on there that are worth the price.

Good and bad depend on your personal taste (obv some beers are higher quality than others, but that's difficult to gauge - generally the mega-high production brands aren't great, but I've had plenty of shit crafts, too). It's also difficult to recommend anything without knowing where you're from.
Geelong, Australia here. Good imported beer is very expensive here, so Australian-made is the way to go. Pic related is brewed in my city, and of all the beer I've had from around the world (incl. USA, Belgium, Germany, Czech, UK) is still my favourite.
I won't argue that it's "good" because too many people have too many different qualifiers, but it's perfectly balanced for my tastes.

I'd suggest looking for breweries local to you first. You can usually guarantee that the beer is fresh and of decent quality, and brewers are almost always excited to show you what they've got to offer and help you find your personal preference.

>>736956427
It's still shit, your tastes are still shit, and this is still a beer thread. You're also the 2nd or 3rd unoriginal faggot to come in this thread with "Beer is for pussies, drink _____ instead"

Yeah you sir are a dumbass try them then comeback to me. So krug isnt worth nor is Bollinger in comparison the veuve? Cristal has be named one of the most "technical" champagnes to ever be created. Fuck off.

It's shit scotch. Even the blue is unimpressive at best. Fuck I'd rather chug Monkey Shoulder. I drink everything , but its still a fucking beer thread, you illiterate mouth breather.

I prefer hoppy beers but my wife prefers stuff on the malty side like reds. I can drink and enjoy just about of them except for Pale Lagers.

BTW, anybody tried Samuel Adams Utopias? I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger and getting a couple.

>>736957217

I lived their for a year and grew very fond of Belgian beers. Oddly, there were bars where you get Buckets of Rocks (Rolling Rock) and it was quite the exotic and expensive thing. Then again, you could also get Stella at McDonalds. That was the only time I could drink that stuff.

If you're new to trying beers, you'll most enjoy Guinness on tap, Newcastle bottles, or Yuengling (if available in your area), cause they aren't too hoppy or malty, but are also pretty quality drinks at an affordable price
