Busch Light.

It's odd how cyclical my beer journey was. Started out in high school with schlights, but then moved on to get the best craft brews. Farmhouse ales, porters, IPAs, ales, and everything in between. After a while, I realized that my wallet should probably take a rest, so I settled on a 30 rack macro that I liked. For a long while that was Miller High Life. After realizing that although decent, the thing I really want on my drinking days is just a beer in my hand. With light beer, you can drink more, stay more hydrated, and most importantly have one in your hand at all times. So it was a homecoming return back to my roots.

This.

Even though it's a "dark" beer, it's very easy to drink, even in quantity,

It's in a weird limbo between macro and micro, but it's definitely better than national macros.

It's a bit expensive for what it is, though. I love picking up a Family Reunion pack when I'm bringing a sixer or 12 pack to an event, Kosmos is my favorite of their's and that's the only way to get it.

I shill hardcore for Shiner IRL.

I am gluten intolerant and thus, don't get to drink beer. The few gluten free kinds I've tried were not worth buying again. Are there any gluten free beers worth buying or am I doomed to my rum and cokes?

I like Heineken too and everyone gives me shit for it. But for a binge drinking beer, it's refreshing and not too sweet.

There's also a local beer called Duquesne. Got a 30 pack on special for $13, and it's easily better than Heineken. Shame it isn't more widely available.

I'm trash

whats the difference between porters and stouts?

>>9203724
I've googled this. Some brewers say stouts must contain roasted barley, but most seem to dismiss this as erroneous. Historically, 'stout' is short for 'stout porter', so generally stouts just have a higher ABV. But mostly it's just how the brewer wants to brand that specific ale.

>>9203073
I didnt know ypsi even had a beer fest

>>9192029

Shiner is a really good compromise for dudes with no taste who just want to get drunk and beer snobs who want something that tastes good but also want to get drunk. I lean towards the latter but I'm always more than happy to drink some shiner with the boys.

This shit right here.

Makes me think of my dad, since passed, and hot summers in Texas as a kid.

If I'm in a bar (I live in a college town so everything is craft oriented) I'll just for with a wheat beer, like a Hefeweizen or something with that "banana" finish. I usually tell people I like wheat/light beers and I never even thought Shiner is considered "dark" even after a decade of drinking it. Guess I've been wrong all along. Regardless I always reach for it when I can. Anyone like their other styles like the strawberry blonde?

A faggot. Good luck kid.

I know real beer. The problem isn't a lack of knowledge, it's that I could buy a 12-pack of Blue Moon Cappuccino Oatmeal Stout for $12-13 while every other similar oatmeal/capp stout at the store costs $10+ for a 4 or 6 pack.

Grain Belt is the patrician shitbeer

How old were you when you started to enjoy drinking?
I only pretend to enjoy drinking in front of company but I literally wouldn't drink voluntarily.
I much rather have chocolates and ice cream.

>actually falling for the "Belgian white is acceptable" meme
You don't deserve beer.

20. Started early. It's not for everyone, man. Don't punish yourself for not liking something.

>>9219743
19 when I started to enjoy drinking, 20 when I started getting into good beer thanks to having parents who would buy me interesting shit at the liquor store

I'm not too experienced with wine but I know I can down a bottle of sauvignon blanc in a sitting no problem if I feel like getting hammered

hard alcohol makes me sick typically

>>9219760
I didn't imply it was acceptable, I'm saying other shit from Blue Moon is even worse. Hefeweizens are way better if I'm going down that road

I like the long trail ale as a daily driver, but limbo is pretty bomb

I posted in this thread a week ago how the fuck has it not 404'd

Had Founder's porter last week for the first time.
Nice to find a porter that isn't saturated with sweetness and vanilla or bombed with chocolate, really pleasant drink

Like I said it's as easy as heading to my local liquor store. They're one of those places that takes pride in stocking a bazillion kinds of beer. That's one of them now.

18 or 19, I had always rather enjoyed the taste of beer (at least the stuff my dad and brother drank)
I didn't actually experience a buzz or drunkenness until I was 20, which is when I started enjoying beer for the taste and the feeling you get when you drink enough of it.

you have to go back

>>9217160
okay I tried it.
it's not "so goddamned good" but it's certainly easy to drink

>>9219743
16 or 17
It was cheap and easy to get so you learned to like it because it was definitely better than the other alcohol you could afford with the money

If you like Guinness you owe it to yourself to try >>9218412

Suburbs but yeah. I had been to lupulin before and was waiting for their shit to hit the shelves for like 2 years. They have a really good Belgian blonde and double nut brown that I got trashed on while I was there

Just love it. That smell just hits me with so many good memories. Even brought a 5L keg back from Czechia by train, worth all the carrying without a doubt
