Checked the catalog and didn't see a beer thread, so, I decided to make one

What are you drinking? What are you looking forward to? Post anything and everything related to beer in this thread

Pic related is what i'm drinking at the moment; a classic Dunkel from a brewery that has yet to let me down

Recently started to get into Witbier. I like the clean crispness, the citrus and spices, the vaguely weed-like smell. Call me a faggot but Witbiers just make me really happy. I've had some of the basics like Blue Moon - what are some others I should be on the lookout for?

A 12-pack of Yuengling Black & Tan. For $6. Not bad at all.

Tonight I had Prairie Americaner. Delicious and vaguely reminiscent of a tart cider. Love it in the 4 pack but the single has better art. Sitting on Dinosmores from Off Color, barrel aged Ten Fiddy, Surly Darkness, Dogfish Head 120 minute, and Half Acre Navaja. Navaja will go quickly but I don't know when I'll break open the others.

The benefit of working at a Binny's is I get all these things saved for me, even though I only work two days a week. I constantly get great beer. This Friday I'll be getting Goose Island's Bourbon County line just waiting for me. I don't know which to buy, since they're all expensive as fuck. I'll be there before the place opens and I'll be barging past the people waiting at the door since 6am to clock in and pick and choose who gets what and how much. It's strange, alright.

Which bourbon county should I save for myself?
>>
Who /VB/ here
>>
>>8302167
Oh, and we've been sitting on it since last Friday. I helped load it into our warehouse. It's always fun sitting on a beer until it's released. All the bourbon county just sitting there all pretty. We got cases on cases of it. I just don't like blowing over 20 dollars a bottle on principal, but how do I say no to such a rare beer?

Did you know if you buy local rare beers, you can travel to distant breweries and trade up? A guy at another binny's was talking with me about how he took a few cases of Pipeworks and Three Floyds beers across the county with his son. They traded at every brewery they visited and got ridiculous deals. I definitely want to do that over the summer. Gotta get the popular shit, not the good shit though. A case of zombie dust will net you a fuck ton of good beer, even though it's not that great itself.

I really don't get the appeal of Three Floyds. They're assholes when I met em. Really up their own asses.

This is sometimes true but the experience and Beer are phenomenal. I live within literal walking distance (although I would rather take a 3-5 minute drive) from 3F and go all the time. 90%~ of the time the servers are great and attentive. The bad experiences I have had are always with the same person.

Interesting beer. Pours like orange soda. Tastes like a pumpkin flavored amber ale. Not much head. 8.4% ABV is just enough to feel it but not enough to taste it.

Based North Carolina. Green Man makes some pretty great beer. Currently drinking Cold Mountain from Highland. I always stash several 12 packs when it comes around since it sells out like crazy.

I don't care what anyone says, I enjoy this stuff. It's the one dessert beer I'll buy.

As a lager drinker, I've only started dipping my toes in ales. Gone through 20 different brands so far, but apparently ale supposed to be room temperature.

I tried that, it sucks. I drink my ales cold as I can get them, only problem is if I want an ale when I'm out it'll always be warm. I can't be the only one?

Allagash White is my personal favorite (8/10 from a bottle, 10/10 on draft).
Dogfishhead's Namaste is 7/10
Lagunitas Stoopid Wit is 6/10
>>
>>8307475

What do you think of Lagunita's IPA?
>>
>>8307486
S'okay. For the money ($10/6) I prefer Sierra Nevada (kinda wish they'd do a wit)
>>
>>8307448
It's the first one I've had from them, I liked it but I probably wouldn't have it as a daily drinker. Definitely fits the season for dessert though. Nice flavor and strong enough to get a little buzz going.

>>8307451
I've had other pumpkin beers and I agree this one is the best I've had yet.

My favorite beer of all times is Alaskan White on draught. The bottle I had of it was nowhere near as good for some reason. Ballast Point's Wahoo is pretty good as well.

Never understood the appeal. Cold Mountain was always way too sweet, and I like a little bit more booze in my winter beers. Not exactly a bad beer, but the recipe could use some tweaking.

>>8307456

Where the hell are you at? Here in the states, ales are always served cold. Even belgians should be served at a bit below room temperature, but never warm.

>>
>>8307560
I can stand sweet in winter beers for some reason, but I can understand why it could be overrated, especially being that it needs more alcohol. They released a version which was an Imperial version at 8.0%, but only in a limited batch. Still, I like it. It's cozy to drink, but I won't hop on the bandwagon and say it's the best beer in NC.

OP here, checking back in

Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. Drinking pic related, one of my absolute favorite beers; a robust vanilla porter with subtle coffee notes. It clocks in at 10% but it goes down smooth, highly recommended
>>
>>8308039
had the single malt BA version of that, tasted like straight whiskey

I have a thing for hobo quality beers, you know the ones with ridiculously low price you find in discount supermarkets.
I don't actually like them ofc, they're horrible, but I am addicted to the thrill of opening them, taking a sip without knowing how strange the taste will be.

Last week I found the masterpiece:
>75cl beer, 3.5% alcohol
>IN A FUCKING PLASTIC BOTTLE
>they knew so well the beer was shit that they didn't even bother with glass bottles or cans
>had a tin foil around the cap for some reason
>fill a glass with it
>faint ambered color, not like normal blonde beer, way more clear and watered down
>I take a sip
>RUST
>tastes like fucking RUST
>no aftertaste, nothing, just rust
>tastes like licking a rusty nail
>leaves the same sensation of eating spinach or other Iron rich foods
>drink the whole glass just to be sure
>definitely rust, cannot identify any other taste
>throw the rest of the bottle away even if it's mostlu full
>mouth feels rusty all day
>intense stomach pain for the rest of the week
10/10 probably the beer that tastes less like beer than I ever found.
it even beat the banana beer I found last year

Highland Cold Mountain is the epitome of "scarcity value"

I used to work at an Ingles in Asheville, and every year sometime late November we'd receive a shipment of Cold Mountain. Last year's shipment was a pallet of 12 packs and a pallet of 22 oz. bombers, totaling over 10k wholesale. Both pallets would be gone within 5 hours. We even had to put a limit on the amount you could purchase after this one chick bought 24 12 packs at $20.99 a piece.

Quite frankly, it became disgusting seeing people act the way they did about Cold Mountain. I'm a fan of capitalism and all, but I watched people halve their net worth over this fucking beer. It's ridiculous.

I work a few hours away from Asheville now, and our store received 3 cases of 12 packs and 3 cases of bombers. I put it out on the floor and went back to make a sign. By the time I brought back the sign, it was all gone.

It is almost 7% abv so not a thirst quencher for most people, but the taste is summery for sure. Like a light fruit drink, just with the twist of being beer.

Overwhelming hoppes bitterness. It was tolerable.

Bitter and tasted burnt. Not a big fan.

Dark and heavy. Chocolatey with toasted malt flavor. The heaviest at 10.4% ABV and you could feel it. Pretty nice stuff. Easily my favorite of the bunch.

Topping off the night with Willett Bourbon and a cigar.

Are there any good unhopped ales that can be commonly found in supermarkets?

Of beers, I've enjoyed Newcastle Brown Ale and some of the darker Belgian stuff. But I can't drink more than 3/4ths of a bottle before getting sick.

Drinking this. 2014 Pugachev's Cobra, I accidentally threw the bottle away. Too lazy to get it from the trash bin. Really chocolate forward, small amount of vanilla, medium bourbon (two years of age does that I guess), some mole sweetness. It's pretty damn good.

Three Floyds is pretty good, and easy to find in Milwaukee where I live, but their prices are absurdly high.

If you ever have the opportunity, try the Coco Loco Toasted Coconut brown ale from Kona Brewing. I had it on tap at their Kona brewpub a while back, and it was delicious. A little sweet for the style, but it was a really creamy, delicious, coconutty beer.

I think it may be one of their limited offerings only available on location though, so it might be difficult to track down. They have another coconut beer called Koko Brown that's available bottled on the mainland, so easier to get, although not quite as tasty. Still very good though.
>>
>>8317917
I loved this weird ass hop. Loved it so much I bought the 22oz at a bar and split it with my sister.

Anyone try Pipeworks Pistachio Abduction yet? Holy fug man it's so good. Cocoa nibs and pistachios work so well together in a stout. They were restrained enough in their usage to keep the beer very interesting instead of punch your face powerful. 9/10.

Not yet, but I haven't been at work since Saturday and won't be back until Friday. One of my coworkers hated the coffee stout, said it tasted nothing like coffee. That might be a bad sign.

IPAs are the pepper extract hot sauces of the beer world. They're objectively bad; humans taste bitter things the way they do because most toxins are bitter. Macho fucks pretend to like them and engage in pissing contests to see who can drink the most bitter beer. Fuck IPAs.

>mfw IPAs
>>
>>8324986

Not all IPAs are a silly dick-measuring contest, just as how not all hot-sauces are the absurd extract type.

Personally I don't care for IPAs in general. But it's ridiculous to assume that all of them are hop bombs trying to one-up each other.

Had a discussion with my beer-expert friend about brown ales. I'm tired of all the IPAs and stouts and wondered why there are relatively few brown ales avaliable in comparison. He claimed this was because it was the most "boring" kind of beer and that you simply coulnd't do much with it.

This sounded odd to me, but he's way more into beer than I am - what's your take? I for one think it's a shame if I'm going to be limited to "slightly better than Newcastle" when it comes to brown ales.

Also, I feel like the American brown ales are pretty different from the English ones - they seem to lean more towards the stout direction. Is this a difference in style or the fact that the US has a more prevalent craft beer culture?

Alright, since this is /ck/ after all:

I go for Newcastle, especially if I'm doing something on the grill. Kind of a shit beer, but for some reason it's real comfy for cooking.

I think he's got a little bit of beer-nerd(expert) bias against brown ales. Breweries here don't experiment with brown ales anywhere near as much as IPA's and I don't believe that brown ales are inherently boring.

This Follicle Brown was pretty cool and tasted unique among brown ales to me. It was hopped much more like an IPA but also had the roasty flavors of a brown ale. Overall it's not my favorite style either though. Free Will's Brown Beard is another exceptional and totally non-traditional brown ale and there's nothing wrong with simple well-executed drinkable beers like the average brown ale.

I'm drinking Boulevard's BBQ

It has incredible carbonation and head for a 12% abv barrel-aged beer and tastes great. I do think the cherries have an impact and there is virtually no heat or presence of alcohol in the taste, which is cool. It's one of the best quads I've had, along with St Bernardus but I wish this style didn't have so much sediment floating around once you get near the bottom of the bottle. I tried hard to decant but it wasn't possible to avoid the snow globe.

I just bought a bomber of the peppermint version of this today. I had it last year and it sounded silly but actually was fantastic. It's still rude of breweries to use the bomber format and charge so much but I liked this beer enough to buy it again.

The 6-pack of normal Victory at Sea that I bought last year still has 1 or 2 bottles left and that format is so much better for high abv beers.

Anyone tried Coconut Victory at Sea? That seems to be the other bomber variant but I didn't buy one because I opted for Death By Coconut which I already know is a killer beer.

this is how it is everywhere right now. I'm from Canada and from looking at local breweries this summer, it seemed like maybe there would be a swing in the trend of style to sour beers.

A shandy isn't even close to the sours that beers can be. Ask a decent store to point you towards their sour beers and try one to see what they're like. Sour beers are unfortunately expensive usually but they can be extremely delicious and unlike what you expect from a beer.

QUESTION:
What is the average lifespan of a bottle of beer before it goes flat? I got these bottles that don't produce a head at all, I think this number on the side is the date it was bottled, but I'm not 100% sure. If it is then it was bottled back in August.

Well, I guess thats a lot stuff, you only get, when you actually are there, because I never heard of that.... but that would explain a lot of things you hear about germany.

Anyway, I still have to do stuff for university, was nice meeting somebody from Austria here. Have a nice evening.

Prearis quadracinno. Not bad, would love if it were spicier and fuller-bodied.
Got some Lagunitas Sucks for the first time, well built APA that checks all the boxes.
Had Nickel Brook's '16 Cuvee because it's holiday season. Not bad, as usual too much bourbon flavor made it over sweet.

Gonna go grab some tasty brews in a bit here, probably a Beau's 2016 pack or some Fuller's IS.

>Looking forward to
I live in Ontario and haven't had a Winter Beard double chocolate stout from Muskoka this winter. Definitely that.
Also the next trip to the US so I can get some Ommegang.

Even east coast biased websites like Beer Advocate strongly show the midwest's dominance in beer, just look at what a crazy high percent of the top 250 are midwestern, especially the upper midwest

It would be pretty damn hard to argue that most of the midwest doesn't have it really fucking good when it comes to beer

Depends on the beer, really. Some stuff just doesn't give good head.

You are a faggot for using a shaker, though.
>>
>>8334809
you should have at least 2 fingers of head on a pour, you need to tilt the glass earlier and maybe raise the height of your can/bottle

Phenomenal Barrel aged stout.Probably just the right age on it for me i guess. The barrel is very on the nose yet subtle enough on the taste.
Very good beer!

What's the best reasonably priced light beer? I usually drink stouts (been enjoying evil twin imperial biscotti break), but I want to try something I can drink all day and not get completely hammered. I thinking stuff like pbr
>>
>>8337047
Fatamorgana
>>
>>8337356
Coors light, Michelob golden light, founders all day ipa, Oskar blues pinner, not sure if you wanted actual light beer or session ales.
>>
>>8337356
they are almost exactly the same

Take it from an old frat boy
>Busch Light
The least offensive, but also the most plain
>PBR
Nice strong wheaty metallic flavor. My favorite "bar beer"
>Coors Light
Like Busch Lite but somewhat sweeter
>Keystone Light
The worst imo, strong nasty flavor and gives me the burps
>Bud Light
The luxury model of cheap beers
>Miller Lite
Inferior to Bud Lite in every way
>>
I had 2 Alaskan amber ales. It's alright. I'm making some beef ribs in the oven, and I'm bored.
>>
>>8337547
Yeah it was very unique compared to the DIPAs I've had in the states. I actually prefer it. It had a lot cleaner, crisper taste.
>>8337395
Michelob golden light is the better of the two, but I think it's only available in the midwest.
>>
>>8337555
having an opinion between Miller Lite and Bud Light is dumb
>>
>>8337573
They are very different. Only alcoholics with the most sensitive of palletes would be able to tell. You'll get there one day.
>>
>>8337573
Miller lite tastes completely different you pleb.
>>
>>8337648
they both pretty much just taste like carbonated water
>>
>>8337661
Miller actually ain't that bad. Almost a pilsner so it does have similar characteristics. Bud light is just water.
>>
>>8337555
Thank you!

I'll do a taste test between pbr, bud light and miller lite for my own palate

>>8337564
I'm in the south east, but I'll look for michelob golden light anyway
Thank you!
>>
>>8337686
PBR will blow out any light beer, its not good by any means but the light beers are barely even beer
You should just try PBR, High Life, Schlitz and Yuengling, don't waste your time with anything with "light" in the name, they taste worse and have less alcohol for the same price
>>
>>8337699
I don't think Schlitz and Yuengling are available where I am, but I'll keep an eye out when I travel.

I'll add high life and pbr, miller and bud light to my list to try and michelob golden lift if it's available

Thank you for your advice

Trying out the entire Gage Roads line.

I have everything but the IPA, summer ale and the lager. Only really liking the session ale though, which surprised me.

This picture's missing their flagship beer, Little Dove New World Pale Ale, which is also good.

you posted this in the beer thread like a month ago tommy

Went out and got pbr and michelob ultra (all that they had). I'd say pbr is my favorite between the two. Micchelob ultra isn't bad, but it mainly tastes like soda water. pbr has a wheat like taste.

I also bought some founder's breakfast stout. Can't wait to try it.

Michelob ultra is awful. If they ain't got golden light, don't bother.
Pic related is what I'm drinking tonight. Finally getting around to trying the standard belgian shit. Pretty tasty, but nothing mind blowing. Wouldn't buy again just because of the price. Not my picture btw.
>>
>>8340366
I've had that stuff before, like you say good but nothing special. Mostly bought it because it was on clearance for like $3.50/bottle... Would buy again at that price lol, but I'd never buy it at the regular price, so many better options.

Isn't that stuff like $20 for a 4 pack?
I can't bring myself to splurge and get it.

Yeah the michelob ultra is a decent palate cleanser, had a few michelobs (bought it, gotta drink it) and then had a pbr. I can actually taste hops in the pbr now.

I actually had to go to a bigger liquor store to pick up some wine and they had othr michelob varieties, but no "golden light". Next I'll give bud and miller a shot, but I'm digging the pbr.

I got a bomber for 10$. I hate ending up with single bottles/cans of beers in my fridge from 6 packs I just stopped drinking, so with new stuff I'll usually just buy a bomber unless it's a brewery I know very well.

>>8340366
Oh I also got a 4 pack of this. Seems like they fixed whatever was wrong with the initial few batches because this is juicy as hell, tons of tropical fruit but a solid malt backbone to cover up the bitterness. I will buy this stuff again. Once again, not my picture. I'm lazy.
