Why do people drink beer when snakebites are so much better?

>>7967863
i like snakebites. but your question is retarded considering beer is one of the two parts to the drink

>>7967863
Cause unlike you I'm not a homo and can actually enjoy a beer without watering it down.

is that guiness and cider? very popular here in western (not hongcouver) canada.

we call it a crown float here though

>>7967890
>enjoy
>beer
Beer is palatable, I'd say blue moon is the only one I actively enjoy. But all the "this is such an awesome craft beer" is just hoppy shit

>>7967900
You should try Nogne O - Global Pale Ale
I can only describe it as a literal rainbow on the tastebuds

>>7967900
I have lots of faggot craft beer friends so ive been exposed to a lot of shitty tasting craft beer and im at the point now that if it doesn't say oatmeal stout I pretty much just order a budweiser

hops are cancer and they increase your estrogen

>>7967863
Where I'm from a Snakebite is a shot made from Yukon Jack and lime juice.

What's in this thing?

>>7967913
>>7967898
half and half any cider and any beer. You might drop like 0.5% ABV but it tastes great

>>7967913
I don't know either but it's pretty scary
Those godly frothy ales possibly ruined

>>7967922
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Because i don't like putting anything in my beer glass besides beer. If i want something mixed i've got hard liquor for that.

>>7967922
it supposedly gets you drunk quicker too

>>7967922
I had completely the wrong idea about what a snakebite was, just thought it was some blackcurrant thing.

>>7967863
For a minute there I thought you were talking about a real snake bite - like from a snake. I actually had a hard time deciding because beer is fucking disgusting and anyone who drinks it is just tricking themselves into thinking they're not only doing it to fit in.

>>7967997
Well also to get drunk. I 100% believe no one would drink beer of it wasn't alcohol. Why else do you think no one drinks nonalcoholic beers?

>>7967997
>beer is fucking disgusting and anyone who drinks it is just tricking themselves into thinking they're not only doing it to fit in.
You must be 18+ to post on 4chan

Beer exists because it was a low alcohol solution to being unable to drink polluted ass european water.

Its 2016, beer isn't necessary anymore and needs to go extinct imo

>>7968018
Wasn't it invented to store calories without much possibility of spoilage? Beer is definitely not a substitute for water; it will not rehydrate you in any capacity, even with the "low" alcohol content.

>>7968005
Alright, I will admit that this is true.

>>7968005
>>7968088
You both deserve shooting for being this stupid. Do you think everyone gets drunk in a beer garden in the afternoon?

>>7967997

>everyone else is just pretending to like it in order to fit in

>>7968095
>You both deserve shooting for being this stupid. Do you think everyone gets drunk in a beer garden in the afternoon?

If they don't they are morons who don't know how to have a good time

>>7968100
Your bait is stale

Serious question. Where can I find Kilkenny? I tried it once and it's the only beer Ive actually liked. I just can't find it in the part of Texas I'm stuck in.

It's not hard to understand. The reason people don't drink non-alcoholic beers is because they're basically all shit. There is no artistry involved in the production of non-alcoholic beers.

There are so many meals that I will ALWAYS prefer to have a nice beer with. There are so many beers that are a huge pleasure of mine to drink. You people are mistaken. I don't know if you're trolling or just retarded, but you're mistaken.

there wasn't any egg rolls at the store today. and I forgot to get milk and toilet paper. lol

it's a rice and peanut butter cracker night.

>>7968018
Not true. Beer was invented because people liked getting drunk. In Mesopotamia beer was essentially sacred, a dietary staple and treated as a symbol of civilization. And their beer was more similar to a kind of alcoholic porridge than what we know as beer.

you either live in 2001 or a terrible state...American brewers have been rocking the malt for the over 5 years now.

>>7968198
>durrr not true
>restates what I already stated just with a dollop of autism

Is this the plebian thread I was looking for?

>>7968263
No, it isn't. You said it was because people couldn't drink water in Europe (which was only true for a limited time period, besides), I said it was because people liked getting drunk on the Middle East. There's nothing in common between the two other than agreeing that people drink beer

>>7967900
Holy shit this is the gayest post I've ever seen.

>>7968189
I was gonna have milk and peanut butter cracker, but the stars didn't align.

>>7967913
same here, cant drink them after I got totally shitfaced sick on them.

>>7967966
black snakebite is beer + cider + cassis or blackcurrant or whatever it's called

>>7968005
The reason non alcoholic beers are not popular is because the flavour profile of beer has alcohol in a central role in it.

Otherwise how do you explain people enjoying soft drinks in general?

Alot of chains won't serve snakebite as policy though.

>>7968791
you can't even taste the alcohol in beer

>>7968017
I'm 40 and agree

Why drink that shit when you can drink a good liquor instead?

Drinking beer makes you bloated, feel disgusting, and you can't get drunk if you don't want to drink a whole fucking case

I can drink a few fingers of e&j vsop and I'm where I want to be

>>7969909
I like the taste of beer, personally. I don't really drink to get a buzz, but I do like to have a dark beer with beef stew, a roast, or something else hearty. It compliments the flavor well.

Granted, I also really enjoy the taste of burned things, but don't lots of people also like that?

>>7969909
late 30s here, I drink a fair amount of beer but most days I'd rather have wine because I can drink it with a meal and not feel like a beached whale afterwards belching up boozy food smelling gas for an hour

I stopped drinking liquor when it started turning me into an alcoholic

>>7970044
quitter

>>7969308

Fucking so? Alcohol has other properties that change the way something tastes beyond "oh shit I can taste grain alcohol".

>>7969054
surprisingly accurate
if you're lucky you might also get a few lads together and walk down to the kebab shop, kicking over some traffic cones and cheering on the way

black and tans are superior

>>7968005
One of the most popular lunch drinks is 2,2% beer here in Finland where a lot of people judge you if you even think about driving after drinking 1 beer.
Only in major cities wine or actual beer are drunk when having lunch.
Most people drink water, milk or "home beer" with their lunch.

>dilute 1:1

someone failed math.

>>7973989
Cyder is usually 4.0 ish abv and beer is like 4.5 abv

>>7968198
Yes i've heard that too. Aparently one of the oldest ancient texts ever translated turned out to be talking about a ban on drinking during certain hours.

>>7973704
nobody has drunk a black and tan in 30 years

>>7974465

How about stout and champagne?

>>7974647

is this worth trying or just a meme.

> watering your stout down with that swill
you've ruined something beautiful, now swallow it.

Fuck you, Kilkenny is the best mass produced beer around and all you're doing is watering it down.

>>7975436
It's just Guinness, not a particularly good stout.

>>7968223
There's a big IPA arms race going on in most of the minors to see who can put the most hops in a can or bottle. It's shit.

Sometimes they fart out a passable entry in another category, presumably because they couldn't stomach the thought of chewing down another box of bitter little plants.

>>7977663
this is wrong, stupid, and gay. leave /ck/ and never come back.
