How do IPA fags stand IPAs? Shit taste like overly bitter grapefruit juice

Enjoying a resin, shit's delicious.

>>9116770
It is basically an acquired taste so yeah. Once you get used to the bitterness the other stuff elements of the beer start to pop more when you taste it.

>>9116794
>once you get used to the bitterness

I avoid it altogether. Stouts and porters only for this guy.

>>9116844
Funnily enough I hate both though I'm working on acquiring a taste for them, so I guess we're basically opposites.

>>9116844
Stouts and porters can be fairly bitter as well.

All the time. Drinking a Deschutes Black Butte Porter right now. I also really enjoy vienna lagers, Pilseners, and various ales.

I enjoy an IPA every now and then too. I really like all types of beer.

Recently bought the Sierra Nevada seasonal pack that has 12 different styles of beer in it. That was really good.

>>9117284

So, if I have 4, and feel no buzz at all, does that mean my tolerance is too high? or is that normal

>>9117711
pretty normal for someone who drinks somewhat regularly

Define healthy.

Calorie wise, drink hard liquor. Dunno about effects on liver

>>9118187
the problem comes from drinking on an empty stomach, lots of kids today fast before they drink so they'll get drunk quicker but they just end up getting plastered after a few shots. eat a big spaghetti dinner 3-4 hours prior to drinking and you can kill a bottle of liquor on your own.

as for when to quit, quit when you start spilling alcohol. as for bodily harm, it's alcoholism that does damage. not casual, 1-2 beers daily drinking or the occasional binge session, but actual alcohol addiction.

>>9118261
>eat a big spaghetti dinner 3-4 hours prior to drinking and you can kill a bottle of liquor on your own
Why would you want to do this?

i am so sorry. i mean, when i'm drunk, it's the only time when i feel alive, and able to communicate as myself. tomorrow when i wake up, my boring sober self, it won't be the same. i just want to feel good. it sucks, but i have to drink, in order to feel that way. and i just want to drink safely. in order to feel good, and feel conntected with others, i have to drink. so i am often obsessed with knowing the best way to do that - it doesn't help I have OCD + hypochondria. but if I can feel alive, if I can feel buzzed, and good, for just one night, then it is worth it. and if i can do it safely, and repeatably, than all the better. i am so lonely, all the time

you might want to talk to someone. it could be just a phase, like im in currently, but you can usually tell if its a phase. if you think its a legit issue then id talk to someone. that said, a glass of scotch or a beer every day after work is normal. believe me i thought i had an issue until i realized literally everyone else around me was doing the exact same thing.

best of luck man, its not easy

>>9118266
the idea is to consume as much alcohol as you can without getting sick, and retain your buzz as long as possible. the way to do this is to prepare you body for mass quantities of alcohol.

It's a bit more of a waste to drink a little and throw it all up than it is to drink a bottle of whiskey and keep it all down. if you have a belly full of gentle foods that won't negatively react with you booze (curry + 5+ shots of hi-test whiskey = death) you can drink all night and actually enjoy yourself instead of getting the spins and passing out.

I understand your pain man, there was a point due to a trauma I suffered that I drank deeply, and often. It was the only think that took my mind away from it, it was the only escape I had.

I kept deteriorating, and eventually a family friend (he's a combat veteran) sat down with me and we talked about what had happened and why I couldn't move one. He too had suffered from alcoholism until he met a nice girl and settled down.

No dice for me, but I understood I was just drinking as an escape and distraction, and with the help of said friend I was able to channel by distress and frustration into more constructive things.

That's the key. The impulse that drives one to drink can be redirected into something less destructive. Instead of drinking to get away from your sorrow, you can use the same drive that leads you to drink to fight that sorrow without it.

Having my first glass of latest homebrew batch. Not made anything for 8 months prior to this batch so it was fun again. Turned out very decent as well!

>>9120878
How much is the cost of start-up and creation for homebrewing? Any major taste benefits, or is it just the DIY factor?

>>9121186
Bare bones kits should fairly cheap, but honestly if getting wasted on the stuff beer brewing is not the right way to go, it is alot about the DIY factor and getting somewhere the major beer makers dont go.

I still can not make a proper lager but my ales are getting where i want them. This one was hopped with Nelson sauvin hops mostly and i got what i wanted! White grapes on the nose and taste!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Hoegaarden. it's one of the best easily available beers there is and possibly the best thing you can get for that money.
That said, if you can have any other white beer over it, you should.

>>9121229
Yeah, don't know if I'm committed enough to beer to get into homebrewery. Still exploring commercial availability and developing my tastes.

>>9121186
I spent 1200 bucks. I make 45-60 gallons a month for around $250 in sugar and $75 in grain.

It is cheaper than what I was spending on six and 12 packs.

>>9121550
but how long did it take you to make something good or have you ever made anything good?

>>9121550
Barely, and it takes a while to even make anything decent. Also all the time and effort that go into sanitation and whatnot you pretty much break even. The difference being a couple bucks here and there.
Home brewing is cool, but don't get into it just to save money. It's a hobby, not some economical savior

>>9121565
About 2 recipe tries. Now I know exactly how to make what I want. I have mastered an 11 day IPA. I can do any kind of stout, make a milk stout, coffe, chocolate, whatever.

>>9121617
Barely if you do full grain brewing. I'll more than break even, I've already saved far more than if I'd been buying beer. By the time I'd be brewing for a year I will have saved 5-6 grand vs having to buy beer. So, in short, you're wrong.

>>9121831
In short, you have a drinking problem if you spend that much money on beer

I apologize in advance. I had a few beers today and I wanted to share them with random strangers who will most likely call me a faggot. Too lazy to take off my tripcode, so sue me.

This was tasty. Pretty heavy on the peanut butter, dark chocolate, and the spices used definitely reminds me of a champurrado. Bretty gud dessert beer. 8/10, would buy again. Excuse the game, I'm breeding for a shiny right now.

Second was this thing. I like their other core brand beers, so I figured "Hey, they possibly couldn't fuck up a barrel aged beer." Turns out, I was right. I have no idea how long this was aged in bourbon barrels but the bourbon is moderate, so it couldn't of been more than a few months. The bourbon really intensified the vanilla and marshmallow characteristics of this beer. Milk chocolate and roasted malts are pretty apparent too. It was pretty tasty. Paired it with kielbasa, tri-tip, and rice pilaf. Again, 8/10 would buy again.

Finally, it was this beer. I went out to Houston a few weeks ago and visited this little brewery. I had been there before when visiting family so I knew their beer was stuff that I liked. I took beer from the brewery I work at to give to the guys there and they reciprocated with beer of their own. One of which was this beer. Pretty intense whiskey, dark chocolate, and roasted malt flavors. Finishes with a really pleasant mocha sweetness. A little subdued for the Russian Imperial style but really tasty regardless. Sort of reminded me of those dark chocolate bonbons I would get from relatives whenever they traveled abroad. Regardless, this shit was tasty. 9/10, would trade for again.

That's Red Stripe. Every bar in my town stocks it as one of their cheaper options, for good reason.

It's another generic adjunct lager that honestly doesn't taste much better or even much different from ordinary macros on draft. Trying to pick favourites between them is like trying to pick the yellowest stalk in a cornfield.

Fucking Red Stripe?!

Really, anon? Red Stripe?
There's nothing different or distinctive about this beer that sets it apart from any other shitty macro Lager. You just got suckered by the cute bottle.

>>9126878
It looks sexy. MS needs more emporium type beer retailers. I have one near by. I fucking love it. I buy beer and make rub based on my selection. We smoke a couple butts a month. 2 slabs of ribs, usually back. Occasionally I do a brisket. I bought a plate rib section for some stout I picked up. I'd take a picture, cept I'm listening to music and watching my neighbor's fireworks.

It is sweet, and verry mild on hopping. Still pretty crisp. Find me a craft lager as clean as that.

I like the idea of the logo, as I personally don't like to buy beers owned by A-B/Inbev. I'm not some preachy cunt or anything about it, I'll drink any beer if it's free/someone else is buying, I just don't buy beers I know are owned by that company.

>it fucks up the stabilization of it and strings it out

I'm not sure what that means. I missed my morning dosage yesterday because I was hungover and slept in all day, and the Alaskan probably didn't have too much grapefruit in it, so I'm not really worried. Forgot how much I like grapefruit, though.

Drinking pic related now (actually a little earlier; having a Racer 5 now). Like it better than the grapefruit IPA.

>>9127011
Generaly more. Things that are huge and overly rough, or boozy or sweet tend to mellow and fall into their own. Some beers age well some dont. It honestly is a weird art that is totally like putting wine up and the same time WAY different. Try some if you have the time/patience/money/environment to do so and see what you can learn. Even the best people who cellar shit will lose some beers to corkage and bad caps here and there. That said the hardys changes every year. Think about that. Now that it is in its 20's, every year we open one it is different. This is the beer that defined the style for Jackson. Everyone we open sequentially is different, and very good. I'd equate some of the flavors to port. Nothing about it is science other than the life and death cycle of cystic yeasts which is under appreciated. Have fun and keep enjoying.

>>9127011
Also, if you are keeping shit for the collectable factor, keep the empties. Beer is to be enjoyed (eventualy).

>>9117031

Some breweries have gone downhill once being bought out, but I'll still buy beer that I like even if they sell out and it's still good.

I think Goose Island took a big nosedive when they got bought out, but I still buy Space Dust probably once a month.

I know my local breweries, so an extra label telling me that they're independent doesn't really make any difference for me, though I'm in principal against supporting big beer.

>>9127025
Google it. Grapefruit has some weird chemical that is an antagonist for something that doesnt fuck up normal biochem but fucks up the half life if you have different chemistry (why the prescription works) of the drug. This is present primarily in drugs for psych stuff and heart stuff which have alot more in common than most people think. A pharmacist or 2nd who wrote the scrip (or Google because those guys tend to suck) can explain it better. My pictures should indicate im pretty drunk.

>>9117031
I think space dust is pretty god damn cheep and a good beer.

>>9127049

I'm also drunk, and am sure I've looked it up at some point in the past. I've generally been good about avoiding grapefruit. The sad thing is that I'm not sure if it's a heart med or a psych med, because I'm taking both - I might even be taking a heart med for a condition I don't have because it's been shown to help with al/ck//anxiety issues or something.

southern prohibition and lucky town. they both do great beer for sipping. there are a couple others, but you're drowned in options anyway. dont go out of your way.

This isn't exactly a beer question, but I think you can help me.

Are spigots for fermenters (this one specifically https://www.morebeer.com/products/speidel-plastic-fermenter-20l-53-gal.html) airlocked?
As in, is it safe to screw on the spigot during fermentation, or will nasties get into my wine through it?
It would make measuring the S.G a lot easier.

Thanks guys

>>9127590
>>9127590
a buddy of mine is a brewer, if I'm remembering this correctly you definitely don't want to disturb the fermentation, it could change the taste of the beer or mess with the yeast

>>9116922
Yessssss.

Love Hoegaarden. I'm branching out and trying as many beers as I can but this is my go-to.

>>9127196
Correction: it is Pokemon for beer nerds

>>9127590
depends what you mean by "airlocked." I assume you're asking about the spigot at the bottom. That is at least tight enough that the pressure of 5 gallons of liquid over it won't make it drip. Obviously the pressure also makes it hard for stuff to get in. Wine is generally less sensitive to bacteria because of the ABV in any case. TLDR it should be perfectly fine

This is purely broscience, but my experience suggests wine may separate into different layers which may (or may not) have different SGs, with the strongest stuff at the top. The methods I've read call for shaking the wine to get rid of carbonation, so it might be a good idea to measure directly after this when the wine is blended

>>9127684
This is about wine but yeah, I'm not planning to disturb the fermentation, just measure it.
Thanks regardless!

>>9127904
I didn't know that, thank you for the information and thanks for the answer to my question.

I've been there. Having to avoid grapefruit fucking sucks. Especially when you're at the fair and it's really hot and you're SO THIRSTY, and you see someone giving away free juice and you're SO EXCITED, but when you get closer to the stand you see that the juice HAS GRAPEFRUIT IN IT. Suffering.

https://consumerist.com/2015/12/10/anheuser-busch-distributor-incentive-program-raises-more-concerns-of-a-stifled-craft-beer-market/

They're trying to monopolize the beer market in the most slimeball way, by giving free money to distributors to carry only A-B Inbev beers, thus stamping out any chance independent brewers have at entering the market. I won't drink a fucking thing owned by them.

Some grapefruit-related reading:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit#Drug_interactions

Basically, the effect it has is to either give you a larger dose of the medication than you need, or to prevent you from absorbing the medication altogether. I'd ask your pharmacist rather than your doctor about this; they generally are more knowledgeable about drug interactions. (And I mean an actual pharmacist with a degree, not just the kids they have working at Walgreens.)

Be especially wary if you have a slow-release medication, since that seems to be a type that grapefruit conflicts with most. I was on a slow-release blood-pressure medication, and I couldn't have grapefruit because of it.

Anyone got a suggestion for a nice salty weissbier?

Had a friend of mine over and we got these 10 beers to rank, he ranked them like this with left being highest and right lowest

I wouldve ranked them like this

1. Gouden Carolus Classic
2. Hell and Damnation by de Molen
3. Burning Sky Saison a la provision
4. Delirium Tremens
5. Barista Chocolate Quad
6. St Bernardus 12
7. Brouwerij 't IJ IPA
8. La Trappe Quad
9. Duvel
10. Wild Beer Of The Sea (The meme beer with lobster)

Rum will fuck your teeth up if you drink it heavily on a regular basis. Generally beer has more calories so you'll get fat if it's all you drink and you don't get much exercise, but then again a lot of people mix hard liqour with sugary crap like soda so it's not much better in that regard unless you drink it neat or on the rocks instead of mixing it. As a rule to avoid full blown alcoholism, try to set limits like "I won't drink more than 375ml (half a bottle, roughly 9 shots) of hard liqour in one night" and only drink for 2-3 days out of a week max in general unless you're satisfied with one or two beers.

>>9132479
Neither.

St. Bernardus should be much higher on both lists.

How do you even taste the chocolate in the porter? All I taste is coffee, and nothing else.
Also, IPAs have edgy labels.

You responded to a guy that explained why he disliked InBev's strong arm tactics shutting down independent competition with, "fuck off." You further stated that shelf space in stores inaccessible to independents because of said tactics would not affect the viability of independents. Therefore, my assertion that you support strongarm mafioso tactics by mafioso stands, you corporate sycophant.

>>9136307
So which independent breweries have gone under due to a lack of shelf space? Your stance on a corporation using mafioso tactics is overly dramatic. Do you know that there are independent breweries that are backed by the actual mafia? Does your line of morality only come into play when a multi-national corporation comes into play? I'll buy what tastes good not because I'm sucking up to some company, you commie.

The fact remains that new independent breweries are opening every single month nationwide. The market is still growing as it should when more people are choosing for local beers.

>>9132479
If you liked the Gouden Carolus then try the Triple, it's my very favorite beer of that style I've had. The cuvee blue is a love it or hate it thing but I'd recommend the cuvee red to most people. Also the blonde they put out, Lucifer, is lovely. The Noel is also really popular I tend to shy away from beers that heavily spiced, but it performs to the style admirably. I have a great love of the Het Anker brewery in general.

Great little brewery hiding out in connecticut

>>9135978
Because google is a thing? Or maybe he is hoping for insight from people who have had it?

Disgusting? I don't think so. Tastes like a typical porter. Lots of dark chocolate and malts. No alcohol at all

>>9140254
looks nasty

Currently enjoying the best beer for non beer lovers

I bought a 30 rack of Rolling Rock and 12th of Never 12 pack recently. I'm wondering if I should buy a 30 pack of Miller high life, lite, or PBR next time. Once fall and winter come, I'm buying Sam Adams Oktoberfest and Lagunitas Nighttime.

>>9144255
Made by the same people who make Mike's lemonade and Four lokos I think.

>>9144981
Completely wrong anon, Four loko and mikes are a different company from one another, as well as the people that make not your fathers.are their own company.

Does anyone else notice that certain brewiers make you feel like shit? When I drink victory beers I always get massive headaches? Is it just the way they mix it, or somethign? I don't get the same shitty feelings from other breweries

r8 muh haul
Franziskaner is a favourite of mine, but it is my first time trying the others. I had the Graffiti Pale Ale with dinner. I gotta kinda orangey taste from it, not as bitter as other pale ales, though I could still smell the hops.

>>9138553
I enjoy coopers plus its cheap, I'm making one of their diy kits at the moment as well

>>9147161
Why

>>9148615
Can't r8 as I haven't tried any. Let us know how the chocolate lager is, sounds a bit of a mismatch.

Not my usual but it's alright. Very malty but still bitter as shit, almost like a blond roast coffee with extra skunky pine tree. Would drink again but hopyum from foothills is more my thing.

>frosting your glass

Huh, guess you can't stand the taste of your beer unless it literally numbs your mouth

>>9118187
>1.
Ultimately, experience. Once you can feel your gait change, that's a good time to call it quits.

>2.
Define 'a lot' and 'a little'.

>3.
If you're worried about that you should probably cut back.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recommended_maximum_intake_of_alcoholic_beverages

Question time: how particular are you about the temperature of your drink? Do you own and use a beer thermometer?

>>9153183
he is drinking Yuengling, seems like a good idea to frost that shit

>>9154180
Only really picky with abbey ales and maybe bourbon/coffee stouts. I love me some fruity esters.

>>9154180
You didn't really buy a product labeled as a "beer thermometer" did you?

>take the cage off the bottle
>barely touch the cork before it pops off like a fucking rocket with a really loud bang
>everyone in the house is immediately wide awake, dad walks in with a gun expecting niggers

I feel like the carbonation might be a tad high.

>>9154425
Update: It is indeed a very fizzy beer, but just as tasty as I was led to believe. Would buy again.

It was a beer.

>>9154468
Was it good, though?

>>9154470
I'm not sure. Everyone hypes it up so much and people always ask if we have it in stock (the answer is typically "no"), but I didn't taste anything that made me feel ecstatic or repulsed.

It was a good/10 beer to me. I'll say that.

>>9154519
*I'll add, I really did appreciate the citrus hops in it. I don't like pine heavy hops too much. They make me queasy on an empty stomach.

I tried Allagash White the other night and was pretty let down, it tasted like feet (in a bad way)

>>9154581
Their tripel is pretty decent. I saw the barrel aged version at my bottle shop. Considering giving it a try.

>>9154535
Azacca is my favorite hop for this exact reason. It's the most mango-like hop I've seen yet. IF anyone knows any hops off hand with similar profiles, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

>>9154589
I'm still open to trying their other beers, I just didn't like the white. It had like an unsweetened bubble gum kind of taste which I didn't mind but it really did sorta taste like feet which made it unenjoyable.

I guess with wheat beers, the esthers have such a wide range of flavors and our palates all perceive them differently

>>9116844
XXX belgians are my shit

>>9154596
I've never tried their white, though I suppose I should. If you're gonna put a 5.X% ABV beer in a four pack, don't make it the same price as a delicious comparable witbier six pack sitting on the same shelf...

>>9154241
No, but I might if someone shills for one here. Hit me with your best shot!

>>9117410
Just tried this yesterday and it's surprisingly good. Tastes like bud light lime but done well.

A regular cooking thermometer works fine, anon, which you should already own for cooking meats. Just be sure to sterilize it because, yknow, raw meat.

>>9154624
What are some witbiers you recommend?

I had Ommegang and it was pretty good, it's not my favorite style but that one was much better than the Allagash IMO.

>>9130337
>>9154361
It was actually good.
I really enjoy reds though. Sorry it took so long to reply.

>>9127031
I only have one bottle of beer and 2 of scotch that are empty.
I'm going to find some of these nice labels I keep seeing and age one for a few months and enjoy it on my birthday. Dark and relatively cool, right?

Also, someone start a new decent beer thread.

>>9154425
Try their Nocturnum, so fucking good.

Their tremens is a fantastic and refreshing beer, but if you think that carbonation is bad try a Duvel, one of the best tasting belgians out there, but my god it's carbonated to hell.


>bought a bottle of Duvel once without knowing anything about it
>proceed to pour it like it's a nitro beer for whatever retarded reason

Before I got a quarter of the bottle in the glass, I had 4+ fingers of head.

>>9155101
not him but I would much rather a beer be too carbonated than not carbonated enough

Especially adjunct lagers, when they're flight (like Keystone Light) they're pretty damn awful

>>9155116
*when they're flat

>>9155001
Sucks that there's no way to buy it now. I'd keep it too.
