Beer

drinking lone star 12oz cans. warm. no pretenses, no attitude. just honest 5% beer.

but honestly the "Texas Independence: Try and Take it" packaging is fucking stupid. just shutup and sell cheap beer, faggots.

>>8783264
do you have rolling rock down there?

>>8783277
yes. but its nowhere near as good as it was 15 years ago. it used to be the *best* 10 dollar 12pack around. i dont know what that brewery did but its gone way down.

When I'm not in a sweet mood, I like Labatt and Blue. We also have an amazing local brew in PA called Hijinx.

When I'm fine with one beer for the night, I'll crack a Wynd. Real unique IPA.

I remember when you couldn't get Lone Star outside of Texas (I grew up in Texas), but now they're exporting it all over the place. I just bought some the other day at BevMo here in NorCal. I don't really like Lone Star, but it's the nostalgia factor for me. My family always had a keg of Lone Star and a keg of Shlitz at family reunions back in the day.

Ah, I forgot to say what I'm drinking right now (even though it's barely noon here, but I'm off work today, so fuck it). Anyway, I'm drinking Orion (Okinawa import). It's pretty much the main beer I drink now. I like stouts and porters, but they're so filling, I'll have one or two, and then switch to Orion.

>>8783563
Really? I had no idea it was being exported. Whats the point? Its a bare-bones malt and water beer.

If you are in southern california and you want to try kbs go to your local craft beer store and ask for it. They lie. I just got back from getting 2 and the guy didnt want to sell it to me.

>>8783596
That's what I like about it. I can drink it all day, tastes light and refreshing, and doesn't weigh me down like heavier beers.

>>8783613
If i had to live in Commifornia I would be looking for guns to shoot myself with, not beer

>>8783596
Yeah, it's being exported now. Idk what the point is other than for people like me who consider it a nostalgia bomb. It's not great beer, but it's cheap and drinkable.

>>8783616

Find someone in that country willing to surface mail you beer and pack it REALLY well.

I mailed beer to California and Canada for Christmas last year and both sets arrived just fine.

Do not send beer by air mail, the pressure difference in the plane will most likely cause the bottles to burst their caps and spill beer everywhere. This will also likely get you in trouble.

>>8783258

Yeah! For punchy spicy foods the robustness of a strong West Coast IPA stands up really well. Lighter beers are nice and refreshing with it but more full bodied beers compliment the spiciness. One I had with hot wings went incredibly well instead of the usual light beers people pair with them.

Unfortunately the one I had was much lighter in body than expected and it was a bit peppery so it didn't work out that well.

Well, those are all Bavarian beers which are way too sweet for my liking and rather similar in taste, but I cant really blame you for the limited choice you have in the States. My city (Düsseldorf) alone has five breweries that produce their own Altbier, if you ever get the chance i highly suggest trying out either Schlüssel, Füchschen or Schumacher Alt!

When a German says "5 breweries" he means 5 actual large scale breweries, not "5 muh microbrewery three vats all of them IPAs"

>>8787781
American beer is like having sex in a canou - fucking close to water.

>>8787744
The thing about German beer is that the styles are so limited, a lot of areas in Germany make perfectly fine beer, but the variety is so limited. I am sure all of those places make a fine Alt, but I have 5 breweries in walking distance that each make a 10-15 beers of widely varying styles from IPA, to sours, imperial stouts, Trappist styles, traditional german stuff, british stuff, and I live in a city about the same size as Dusseldorf

I think a big reason why is that regular cheap mass produced German beer was fine, compared to how shit it was in America, so there was less motivation to get better, plus the southern German breweries held a lot of political power and caused the brewing industry to be far overregulated stifling innovation and quality. They pretty much killed off most of the regional interesting styles one used to be able to find in German

>>8787784
What?

>>8787792
Kek no they dont. Each town has its own breweries and they pretty much only stick around said town. Very few distribute widely and even when they do most stay inside of Germany. It's literally no different than most states here now.

>>8787795
Do you think American beer is just Budweiser, Miller and Coors?
Budweiser is about the least American beer there is, brewed internationally, owned by a bunch of Brazilians and incorporate din Belgium

>>8787818
Everyone besides you is not the same person, but I interpreted it as specifically talking about beer, not 9/11 or wars or whatever the fuck you were talking about

>>8787798
The reason we have less variety is that all breweries have to follow the "Reinheitsgebot", which is basically a purity Law that says beer may only be made out of hop, malt, yeast and water. Of course, there are pros and cons about this, depending on if you're more of a traditionalist or the progressive type, I for one, don'T mind it at all.

>>8787818
It wasn't. You claimed some undeserved sense of accomplishment for the American beer market becoming one of the best in the world while still shitting on it and I called you out for it

>>8787833
>>8787826
>Everybody besides you is not the same person
Irony: the post

>>8787830
There are literally zero pros to it. It was a law designed to keep the price of bread cheap by banning brewers from using delicious oats, rye, and wheat in beer and only use barley as it wasn't very suitable for bread.

Then later on mediocre Bavarian brewers used it to marginalize northern styles, and marketed the shit out of it so that now, most German consumers think that only mediocre Bavarian lager qualifies as real beer

>>8788325

"some IPAs" is pretty vague considering how many breweries make IPAs

remember fully 50% of IPAs are below average

>>8788330
If I knew I wouldn't be asking. I didn't even know what IPA meant when I tried them

>>8788309

>>8788336
Well, IPAs are supposed to be bitter, but some do it better than others. You know how like, aspartame is "sweet" but so is honey? Bitter is like that too, and then there are the aromas and the sugars and the alcohol which impact the way the sensations are interpreted. Done poorly, it can be unappealing and you just choke it down for the booze.

Anyway you may want to explore simple and obvious flavors, that's usually how people get hooked on beer. IPA can be a crapshoot because there's just too damm much of it out there. A well rated imperial stout is a great place to begin. Sweet, boozy, and comforting, with enough bitterness so that it's not just dessert in a glass (although it's mostly dessert in a glass).

Where do you live? I can give you some suggestions on what to look for.

If you can't afford $8 for a 6 pack, just stick to water until you have a job.
Heineken is bad, its just a skunky version of Miller

>>8789272
The point is the nuances of a craft beer would be wasted on someone with no palate. Might as well just recommend a generic IPA at this point.

>>8783303
New Belgium does is proper.

>>8789276
I'd recommend a generic IPA over Heineken any day
Essentially thats why I recommend a random ass local beer over something more specific. Chances are a random local beer will be fine, and probably much better the any imported beer readily available

>>8789283
I suppose. I think the bitterness of an IPA would be off-putting but that might be just as bad as the watery mess that is budget beers.
