>>8388267

It's gonna be a hot christmas m8. I am thinking of picking up some of this, tried a bottle the other day and it is the nicest wheat beer I've had in a long while.

>>8388294
I had some in japan, is nice but I haven't seen it anywhere that isn't expensive as fuck. Where are you looking?

>>8388298
If you're in WA, the Leedy IBS has bottles of it but I'm not sure if they have cartons worth and it would be expensive, definitely.

>>8388217
>blue moon
>frat parties
Gay. You also have the taste of a fresh 21 year old.

>>8388330

OK, mate. Whatever you say.

>>8388265
You want a larger for chrissy/ny.

Mine's already large enough thanks

>>8388217
Why would you drink wheat beer at a frat party? Frat parties are for 30 racks of tasteless light lagers and mixed drinks of whatever you could find in your house that day.

>>8388330
>>8388338
Yup, sounds like the lineup at PF Changs

>>8388590

Each one of those beers is too good for this beer thread.

I bought these guys winter warmer for the first time today. I think this brewery got swept under the rug, but is one of the best in mn. Their taproom/restaurant has incredible food and they had a breakfast stout on tap last year that I thought was better than founders. Any minnesotafags should try them out or hit up their restaurant if you haven't yet.

I miss minnesomalia.
Idaho is a shithole

>>8389438
Idk why people leave.

haul from a recent California trip

What's your favorite coffee milk stout? I've only had Stone Brew. It's pretty good but I wouldn't mind something just a tad lighter.

>>8388590
>>8390451

West Coast confirmed best beer in the world.

>hurr durr, one out of those six beers is from the midwest

>>8390458

The two I like are Stone's Xocoveza (not super coffee-ish though) and 18th Street's Hunter Coffee

>>8390481
West Coast is full of meme hipster beer

>>8390524

>meme
>hipster
>empty buzzwords empty buzzwords

Take a trip to the Midwest some time. They're flooding the market with shitty fruit and spice adjunct crap instead of trying new things with just hops, malts, and yeast.

>>8390544
I was there last week. I found plenty of different normal (hops, malts, yeasts) beers. It seems you are just looking through the internet lens.

If the only was you can get a beer is in a 12oz container I ain't interested in it.

I just moved from there after 2+ years, and went to multiple beer festivals in and around Chicago and Milwaukee.

Figures. Afterall, why try to brew a beer that's really a beer? As long as it's something no one has had, it will sell.

>>8390697
>beer festivals
There's your problem. Go to a liquor store, upscale grocery store, or a bar or something instead of a kitschy beer festival. I bet you'd find what you're looking for.

>>8388590
Had the bourbon county 2015. It was good, but not as good as some of the other stouts Ive had. Have a KBS and a Pugachevs Cobra in the fridge, what should i expect from these beers?

>>8390739

>kitschy beer festival

You're literally retarded.

>>8390742

>bourbon county 2015

Apparently 2015 was a bad batch and they recalled most of them.

>>8390745
I checked, it was unaffected. The flavor profile wasn't my favorite. Lots of sweetness molasses , milk chocolate, tons of bourbon. Im not into bourbon much. I much prefer stones imperial russian stout. However bourbon county was much better than Avery Uncle Jacobs stout.

>>8390743
Not an argument

>>8388573

sounds like you went to a state school

Blue Moon is the absolute cheapest we are willing to do. We usually have a bartender for the mixed drinks for consistency.

>>8390762

Have you ever been to a beer festival?

It's 90% local breweries, who typically offer their flagship beer, maybe an underrated beer, and then something new/limited release/experimental. There's nothing kitschy about it. It's completely representative of what you're going to find at a good local beer store, except they have beer that hasn't even been released yet.

>>8390776
>sounds like you went to a state school
Nope
>Blue Moon is the absolute cheapest we are willing to do. We usually have a bartender for the mixed drinks for consistency.
But it's a fucking wheat beer. You have a bartender at your parties? And instead of a gin bucket you have on-demand mixed drinks? Are your dues over $300 and are you a sorority girl or what?

Bought this in a Russian grocery store for $2.50

>>8390844

You got ripped off.

>>8390850
Aw man is it that bad? I stuck it in the fridge for later.

This. Any argument against 'murrican beer festivals is idiocy, pure and simple.
