Drink beer because it tastes good, not because it makes you feel like an adult or a man or some shit.

For right now it's this, but for a long time I never really liked beer, and only recently started to enjoy it more. I need recs!

A family friend microbrewed a russian imperial stout that I loved, from there I've been told to try Old Rasputin and Dragon's Milk, any other suggestions?

>>7814877
Crabbies is alcoholic ginger beer. It's pretty good but not sure if it counts though

>>7814868
Can't quite decide between Samuel Smith oatmeal stout and Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar... why? Because they taste great

>>7815024
Victory Brewing has a pretty good imperial stout as well. Milk Stouts aren't quite as bitter but Left Hand's Nitro Milk Stout is also awesome. Also look into porters and scotch ales. Might help you identify what flavors you're really enjoying.

Favorites gotta be St. Bernardus Abt 12, Gulden Draak, and Rochefort 12. Those big bodied Belgians.

>>7814868
Rouge was my second not completely mainstreamed craft beer when I was like 22 that started me on my multi year craft beer adventure. I haven't had it since I was 22 because it's usually over $12 a 6 pack and it's not that great. Most of their other stuff seems like overpriced memeing. I'm a drunk so I like beers over 8% about. I'm not that far from lagunitas so I drink a lot of their stuff. I mostly like strong ales, I drink IPAs because they're everywhere but I like stouts and other strong ales better.

Faxe, Bavaria, Stella Artois from a can

Hop Rising Double IPA, but I like things that are bitter.

>>7815034
I love Samuel Smith organic chocolate stout need to get around to trying the oatmeal.

>>7815142
I have to agree, for what you pay with rogue you don't get much. Dead guy and a few others are good but they try too hard to make gimmicky beers now. It's a little sad.

Lagunitas has some really good stuff.

I live in Oregon and it's a beer wonderland here, although I'm hoping this hoppy IPA trend is finally reaching it's critical mass I'd like more variety.

san miguel lager.

Feral Hop Hog. Local boys making a damn fine beer

Honestly, I like a lot of beers and love trying new things and styles, but Old Rasputin is probably my overall favorite. It's just a really solid beer.

I've found myself avoiding stouts during the summer though, and am really liking Victory's Prima Pils and AleSmith's IPA.

Just picked up Founder's ReDANKulous for the first time, anyone know what I'm in for?

>>7814868
Why is Rogue so overpriced compared to other beer of its tier?

ever since i moved away from the east coast and away from victory/great lakes, i've been craving nothing but kirsch gose and chillwave

>>7816735
because it's an entry-level meme tier beer that ropes dilettantes into paying more for swill since they don't know any better

>>7816735
Because Rogue is more about marketing that actually making good beer.

Yeah old ales are still sort of a secret to most. I found some 2012 a year or 2 ago for like 10$ a pack. North coast rules

>tfw polish
>tfw getting some of those american beers would be expensive as fuck
well, so far the best were kernel's imperial stout and mikkeller's beer geek dessert, with polish smoked baltic porter imperum prunum on the third place

>>7817383
Do they have any craft beer in local liquor or grocery stores or do you have to go to specialty places?

>>7817420
depends on the city tbqh, but id say its pretty easy to get craft in a city with >30k people
and its getting better every month
homebrew is also pretty strong, i brew myself and know some good brewers, had some nice stuff (like jopenbier, 55 plato/1.262 SG)

Rogue is run by two psychopaths who treat employees like shit. Apparently their breweries are dirty as fuck. I don't drink rogue because it's a bad company.

Tried pic related tonight. Actually quite good. Nott too hoppy, and nice malts. Reminds me a bit of Dogfish's 90 min IPA.

>>7817898
i saw it in 4 packs this year, pretty good

Don't know where else to ask this. It's kind of gross. But I notice that whenever I drink beer, there's this weird gooey stuff that comes out of my ass. Its like this slimy, yellow mucus like stuff. What is that? Is it a serious problem?

>>7821436
I've been enjoying their table pilsner lately.

Beer is beer to me. I've tried the expensive stuff and it was a nice treat I guess but way too expensive.

I drink Lucky Lager. It's cheap and tastes like shit, but it works.

I'm having some trouble putting them back at the moment though. Might start drinking wine instead so that I have less fluid to drink. Really bad acid reflux from it. Probably a symptom of drinking too often lately.

Budweiser in a bottle is my go to, but if I'm going to get a 6 pack of some good stuff I'd go with Goose Island's Honkers Ale.

5)Brasseur du monde

Glutenberg make an awesome IPA and their special edition are nice too.

My all-time favorite is Moralite by Dieu du Ciel.

Favorite stout is Ten FIDY by Oskar Blues.

My candidate for best beer in the world is Trappistes Rochefort 10.

Favorite refreshing beer is either Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier or Fruh Kolsch.

I watched Conan O'Brien visit the Guinness brewery, and the cunt he was talking to said it was bad manners to look at the glass. Look to the horizon, keep your elbow up, and pull the liquid through the foam.

There's a reason I can drink whatever the trend-of-the-month is from American craft brewers, appreciate it, and move on to the next, never feeling the need to revisit, but I will always come back, again and again, to my favorite Czech and German beers, and never feel like I'm missing out.

Clown shoes rules, but I hate bombers. Their hoppy feet black ipa is probably the best black ipa I've ever had. At least that one comes in 4 packs now.
Also had their billionaire barley wine aged in cognac barrels. Was great and pretty cozy.

Funky Buddha Key Lime Pie Berliner weisse is a top contender for my number one but it's special release and do it very rarely. Copperpoint has the B Rabbit which is an espresso stout on nitro that is so fucking creamy. Gosegetter by Banging Banjo is also very good but these are all local brews not bottled

It's cheaper senpai. 6 pack bottled is around 10, 12 pack in can is 15.

Are you retarded?

There is a pub that brews it's own beer literally 1 minute from my house. They sell this dark ale called Ruby Mild. 3 of them is enough to make you sleepy. They are the reason I am getting fat, nothing like my 3 rubies after work.

>>7831952
Those 3 rubies sometime turn into 10 though.

pic related was definitely a high-tier american wild for me, and i've had a ton. bayou teche has a damn decent gose too.

Really? I don't dislike it I just don't feel it has a lot of flavor, definitely smooth with that nitro though. Still prefer Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout though.

>>7831981
>Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout
that's because you like bubbly sugar water, friend

>>7832070
Maybe, although Samuel Smiths isn't particularly sugary taste more like cocoa without sugar. I like IPAs though so it balances out.

I'm still to discover an authentic looking american beer, the labels look like garbage a lot of times

Bow valley strong lager.

7% abv. that's the only reason i Drink it. Tastes like ass but gets you drunk. I never drink for the taste. Beer tastes bad no matter what kind you get.

>>7832102
If you drink to get drunk, wouldn't wine be more cost effective?

>>7826630

Orval tastes like sweet flowery angel pussy

>>7832102

Or spirits for that matter.

Also disagree with all beer being bad. There's some piss out there, but there's also some genuinely tasty stuff. You probably just haven't found the one for you.

ever since i had jai alai, i've been on a quest for more beers that taste like weed and are also within reach of my distribution area

other than humboldt brown for obvious reasons, i haven't been able to find another one yet

I recently had the double barrel stuff too, the bottle is the same, but they have this picture stuck to it as a clear sticker.

Aged in Cognac and Islay Whiskey barrels. It smelt unreal and tasted great, but I wasn't too keen on the peaty edge the Islay barrel had given it.

double-bock is underrated as a category. Every major German brand I've had is really good--Weihenstephaner's, Ayinger's.

Don't know if this is roughly correct, but d-bocks seems like they're on the opposite end of the "beer flavor spectrum" from IPAs--quite sweet and syrupy from maltiness.

I've drank a lot, but Westmalle's Dubbel, as the beer that got me into beer drinking always holds a special place in my heart. Gulden Draak or Tripel Karmeliet are probably my favorite Belgians after that.

Yuengling or Sam Adams for cheaper stuff.
Shock Top's Pretzel Wheat was surprisingly good to me for a novelty beer. Southern Tier does a lot of those too but every flavor is just WAY too damn sweet.
Leinenkugels aren't really good, but the Lemon and Cranberry/Ginger Shandies were surprisingly nice.
Hitachino Nest was a big surprise since most Japanese beers are garbage. Stick to the white or red though, Anbai sucks.
Honestly I don't even remember half of these, but I've only ever spit out one beer in my life (At a brewfest).
I keep saying i'll make a display board or magnets or something out of them, but eh. Someday.

Got a few more in my fridge not in there yet, Rodenbach classic, (actually drank it, didn't care for it), La Divine Double Blonde, Sam Smith Organic Lager, and Schneider Weisse Tap 6.

Alaska has a surprisingly good selection if you know where to look (And our breweries are good), but there remain things I'll likely never find up here, like Fuller's.

I get what you mean about people talking about "finding themselves" after taking a vacation, but this wasn't some weekend retreat, but rather a solid month and a half of meditation with some hardcore Catholic monks. You cant exactly be in that environment and not learn about the religion, or get some respect for those guys.

I will agree that my pic is the best way. But I simply cannot always do that. I crave beer. So rather then drop 10 - 15 for a strong 4 pack, pay 50% less for a more mild 6 / 12 pack and then pay for a handle vodka. I pay far less then a fancy beer but it tastes just as strong while still feeling a bit like beer. Plus I have plenty of vodka for the next drinking session.

It is a niche. But it works for me.

>>7843581
Fair is fair. It is not for everyone. I am not arrogant enough to assume I am not always right. But I will say at least for me it is a decent way to add an extra 50% abv for your beer if you crave it.

Good taste, anon. And Irish Car Bomb isn't bad either.

Victory's Kirsch Gose and other fruit beers can take cheap vodka. Most others probably can't.

I personally think their chocolate stout is better than their oatmeal, but all their shit is really top notch. Just downed a taddy porter a few minutes ago, shit was cash.

Imperial Stouts.

They can get very high ABV and taste like coffee/chocolate/etc...

IPAs are for chainsmoking hipsters who can barely taste anything anymore and think anything they can taste should taste like a pine cone rolled in talcum powder, because lel beer isn't supposed to taste good.

I don't live in Montréal but I live relatively close to it.

Dieu du ciel is a big microbrewery here, you can go to their pub at Montréal. I went there yesterday and I drank "Tête de corbeau" in cask. It was great.
