/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I drank this beer and I thought it was pretty yummy.

>>11488336
It's funny because it also works if you switch the beer with the XKCD "fans" who pretend it's funny and they REALLY appreciate jokes about "science".

Having a storebrand Christmas brew. It's a surprisingly decent strong lager but the cans fucking SUCK

>>11488347
It's okay. You can admit it. Beer sucks. You, like so many other men at some point in your life decided to see what the big fuss was. You took your first sip of that watery, bitter, amber liquid and recoiled in disgust. "but I'm a man," you think, "and men are SUPPOSED to like beer. It's the natural order of things." So you kept drinking. You drank until your tastebuds became numb to its yeasty bite. "Aha!" you proclaimed in your secured masculinity. " Looks like I finally acquired a taste for beer!"

Yet still, upon every night out on the town, as your female company orders their grape juice and tequila infused slushies, you look upon them with wistful envy. "I'll take a beer." you say to the bartender, a sadness behind your eyes. Because men drink beer. It's the natural order of things. And you are a man, aren't you?

>>11488351
Is that you, Christine Blasey Ford?
You already collected your gofundme millions. Fuck off.

>>11488351
>>11488336
Still going huh? Here, have 2 (you)'s for free since you seem so desperate for them

>>11488351
In all seriousness, the number one thing that turned me on to beer was the aesthetic of it. The taste came later when I actually dove into better stuff, but I still love just the look of a freshly poured pint. It's a beautiful thing to me.

I'm brewing my first beer next week with a qt girl, i hope it'll be good.
Hope you enjoy your beer anon

>>11488738
Nice. It's a fun time and it's simple enough to get drunk while brewing

>>11488738
good luck mate, make sure you sanitize religiously though

what beer are you making?

Enjoying a flight and a dog at Green Cheek Beer Co. in Orange. Pilsner, Blonde Ale, "SOMA style IPA" and West Coast IPA from 1 to 4. While 1-3 are all decent for their category, I probably won't come back to have them again. Taking home a crowler of no. 4 / West Coast IPA is Dead for sure. NE IPA Party Pack is still on draft and probably the brewery's best after WCIPAiD.

What’s the difference between a porter and a stout? I’m in the process of learning more about beer and I’ve really been enjoying imperial stouts lately. Also any recommendations for good imperial stouts would be appreciated (American btw)

>>11489555
They're basically the same thing. Basically.

>>11489555
There is no specific difference. Stouts are generally darker/roastier, often stronger, but the line is super blurry

Is this beer gud

>>11489727
it's 10% abv and tastes more like a barleywine than anything. i "enjoyed" it a little too much in college, but honestly, the taste isn't great, lagunitas has a lot of better offerings.

>>11489555
for all practical purposes, they're interchangeable terms. stouts are traditionally stronger (hence "stout porter")

>>11488997
man, i love beer, but faggots like you make it so easy to hate.

>>11489727
Not really, no. There are much better offerings, and the following Brown Shugga' has is pretty cancerous.

>>11489766
>>11489597
>>11489592

Are there any good imperial stouts that come in 6 packs? Everything I’ve found that’s good is always in the larger bottles, which doesn’t really work if you just want one beer with dinner during the week or something

I like it ok.

>>11489795
Well as a byproduct of being imperial, such beers are more expensive to produce and therefore cost more. Generally this leads most breweries to not release them in 6 packs because people are more willing to spend $12 on a 4 pack or bomber than $18 on a 6 pack. Bells is an exception to this, I am sure there are others but its not a common format
I agree that bombers suck though, all retail bombers should be replaced with 4 packs

>>11488997
>posting on 4chan from a brewery
>thinks it's Instagram
Ugh... maybe it's our fault.

>>11489797
I think Modelo Clara was the better beer last time I was down ole Mexico ways, especially on tap.

Sam Adams is the best beer. Always drank that with dinner when I used to drink.

>>11489727
It's overhopped shit just like everything else lagunitas makes. Only thing good thing about it is its high abv.

Sweet! Al/ck/ is back! I'm glad they came to their senses and decided to let us stay here. So let me start off the new topic!

Ahem, so how you holdin up al/ck/? How are the wd? Anyone get blackout drunk? How's treatment going?

>>11491655
I don't know, but the normal 1664 is awful.

>>11491655
Disgusting swill with very artificial taste. The piss bottle I had was brewed in Russia. Worst witbier I've ever had and that includes some very cheap ones from Finnish low budget breweries

Anyone had CBS yet? Just picked up a few bottles of it and was wondering how it compares to CBS and normal Breakfast Stout.

Tasted fine but gives me a headache after half a can.

>>11492113
Why is there a beer named after a tv network company? Strange.

>>11492653

Jesus Christ Shiner Cheer is fucking vile


Where my Odell fags at?

Really enjoying this one

>>11494845
Who the fuck is charging $30? I got it for $24, a little pricey but not unreasonable for such a strong beer aged for so long. Its not like the best beer in the world that it may or may not have once been, but its still really good

>>11489727
I am currently drinking it, I am enjoying it, I do not care what anyone else says. It's pretty good, my new go-to seasonal beer

>>11489555
>What’s the difference between a porter and a stout?

The difference is basically the type of malt they use, for porters, it is malted barley while for stouts, it's unmalted roasted barley.

>>11495247
um, pretty sure they use roasted barley in both

I'm whipping up a Red Belgian Trippel... just waiting on the wort to boil.

al/ck/ is back? wtf! awesome how'd you guys get htem to keep it?

Also, how ya holdin up /al/ck?

>>11495137
It used to be delicious. The last like, 3 years it's blown ass

>>11495247
it's an iffy line that's been redefined a few times.

There's no real hard difference and a lot of grey area between, but porters tend to be slightly lighter in body and colour.

Guinness, as clear as it is, definitely has a red shine to it - because of this, it's probably on the lighter side of what an Irish stout should be. It's also heavily filtered through isinglass.

Porters, in comparison, can be a dark brown to an opaque black, but if they're on the darker side, they'll tend to be a little lighter in body - all the colour of a stout with the weight of a brown ale.

>>11492870
Ze original.

I'm showing my stoned roommate the difference between Budvar (Czechvar here) and Budweiser. He's too gacked to get it.

>>11495311
Just checked my ingredients and process through brewer's friend... maybe closer to a quad.

>>11494915
This beer was never great, but the past few years it's gotten vile. Overly artificial peach flavor, too sweet and caramel color added is never good.
Went through a 6 pack of this and while it was decent it was too one-note to justify a repurchase. Might try some of the other styles from this brewery.

>>11487740
What's the best gas station beer? I'll usually pick up a few cans of modelo if i don't feel like driving to the liquor store.

pretty good, but the bottle said "for export only" so it makes me wonder if domestic asahi tastes better or something

I was in Belgium last month and I tried Kwak, I didn't like it from the bottle but they day after on draught was a different story. Tasty stuff.

how do I ascend from pleb 6 pack pseudomicro-boi status to become a rare bomber and pint-can connoisseur picrelated

>>11499273

>>11500678
hello based homebrewer, brewing my first batch in a couple weeks. Should I do:

Galaxy Pale Ale
Dry Hopped Witbier
Toasty Amber

>>11500687
I'm feeling toasty amber of the three, but I also just got beaten to death with some over-done, dry-hopped, cleverly named IPA nonsense.

Galaxy plays really nicely with IPAs, and it's possible to get more flavour than bitterness out of it, while still falling within brewers' association guidelines - basically everything's within the last 10 mins, with a little bit at 30 mins or so to round out the IBUs. A "Classic English IPA" can be as low as 20 IBU, or basically as bitter as an American Pilsner.

>>11500714
Yeah Galaxy is one of my favourite hop varieties but it is almost twice the price at my LHBS of say, Citra / Mosaic.

I was thinking amber too, since it isn't too complicated. 2.5Gal batch to start

>>11500723
I've found getting the body out of a malty beer to be the hard part... I also have absolute garbage for temp control.

If you've got the patience to do it old-school, I'd even toss in an acidulation rest point (105F ish)- even if only for 5 mins. It will help the bring the grain flavour out.

>>11488336
Damn I remember when I was 19

>>11500731
Originally was going to do a DIY mash tun out of a cooler but have changed my mind. Going to do removable insulation for the kettle instead. Hopefully that will keep my mash within temp.. BIAB btw.

I've been super into saisons lately. They're like advanced lagers to me. The pours always look so appetizing as well.

One beer I only bought a single bomber of that I regret to this day because it's the best one I've ever had is called Umami Monster. They had it at the Mitsuwa grocery store near Elk Village in the Chicago area. No idea if they still carry it but it lives up to its name. I've had to fill the gap by drinking Modelo's pre-canned cheladas.

For me? It's Tatra.

>>11500771
It's such a wide style... you can get away with jusy about anything with a Belgian/Bavarian yeast profile and a sightly warm fermentation... Some are quite smooth and almost dry, others (my favourite) are complex with an almost strawberry note between the hop and yeast blends (the closest I got was 50/50 noble hop/English with a Belgian "banana" yeast). Still others have almost a bile like flavour because they're way over temp. I was really disappointed with a Tout le Monde because of this.

As for things that strike me as advanced lagers, I can dig me a good "Steam" beer (even Anchor) - basically a lager put through a rigorous ale workout, or well-played kolsches that bring out a bit of the estery notes, but play them right into the hops and grain, like a plum pilsner or something.

Currently making my way through these beers, had the Scottish Ale earlier tonight and it was pretty good, having the ballast point at the moment and alright but very much like one of those "tropical" or "summer" pale ales

>>11488336
Idk man sounds like you've never had a good amber ale. g-d forbid a drink doesnt taste like fucking coke.

I literally never believed that people drank beer for the taste. Now that I’ve tried stouts, I honestly find myself craving them all of them damn time. Any other anons like this? It feels like an entirely different drink compared to a light beer

>>11503632
Their lemon shandy is my go to summer drink.

Everybody knows that IPA is the worst style of beer, but what is the best style of beer?

>>11489727
its not bad but >>11490420 is right, it just tastes like a super strong hopped up beer. at 10% its not a bad way to get buzzed though. I dont see the hype behind literally anything from lagunitas ive tried.

>>11502727
"Fresh"... ... ... not that it really bothers me, aside from people who come to my house expecting to be able to just siphon some out of a carboy. It's a lager. It needs time. There comes a point of diminishing returns, but with lighter malts and lower hop additions, there's really less to go wrong (oxidation and UV degredation). Fresh from 60-90 day tertiary fermentation/conditioning to bottle - that would be fantastic.

>>11504365
I've never seen it on tap here, but there are always bottles, and usually cans available at LCBO, SAQ and ANBLs I've been to.

A bar I used to hit a lot when I worked down at the intersection of plaid and toque has turned to the dark side - everything is in a mason jar (even the shot glasses are tiny mason jars, how fucking cute, right?), and they dumped a bunch of really good beers for a vast array of IPAs. It's where I found out I actually like the Collective Arts IPA, and that Galaxy hops can be used for good, despite usually being evil.

But yeah, hipster shit. Lagunitas knows what side their bread's buttered on.

Denial's a defining trait of being a hipster. Angst was more of an emo thing. You're too young to really get more than a Coles notes understanding of either, but when you can finally purchase a beer of your very own... let's face it, you probably won't enjoy it. Why are you here again?

That's pretty much the plan. In the meantime, it's a lot of saisons and higher-alcohol ales, especially in the summer. I've been looking for some small fridges/chest freezers that I could mod into my brew setup - primary, secondary, tertiary, lagering, and two serving... some pumps to make liquid go, and some CO2 tanks if I decide not to just naturally carbonate in the keg.

Sours are getting into that awful, weaponized, "So preoccupied with whether or not they could..." territory. When they first started becoming readily available, they were mostly pretty nice.

>>11509872
Gose is an excuse to make a shitty beer and blow it up with adjuncts to cover your tracks. Same for berliner.

>>11509646
Name the last five IPAs you've tried, childposter.

>>11510062
I've had both that were pretty good - the Berliner Weisse was something a friend's brewery was trying out, just enough lacto to actually make it tart, and just enough brett to say it was in there. He served each with a shot glass of a pear liqueur he made out of a white-whiskey test batch. It was good with the pear, but didn't really need it.

I forget the Gose's I've had that were good, but they're light on the brettanomyces. A little tang, and a little coriander, not the gym-socks and lysol I've had lately.

You might be right. Maybe the good ones got it wrong.

>>11510126
The booze is traditional for the berliner. Direct fruit additions violate the keeping the boot on the neck of the serf's law of 1516. Good versions exist but it's the new "hey look at me" style of garbage people are excreting. Most drinkers still dont have a ton of exposure to sour's so if you give them some salty fucked up beer, nuke it with fruit to try to not have it all off flavors and tell them "that's what its supposed to be like!" people will drink the hell out of it.

>>11510605
Great observation dick face. Normaly it describes an evident taste of alchohol typically coupled with burn, but since your a fucking genius you probably knew what us double digit IQ's were trying to express

>>11510665

I rest my case, when did you realize you are fat as fuck?

It hurts so bad. One of the first beers I ever had too.

How are those memey Not Your Father's X beers?

>>11510727
Not beer. Its spiked soda pop.

>>11510732
Oh, damn. Might be good though.

currently drinking la chouffe. very tasty

>>11510802
They make good stuff.

>>11510824
grab it whenever i see it. only ever see the tall bottles. gotta couple of them plus some crabbie's and mixed stouts and porters. good thanksgiving haul.

>>11510824
these are pretty expensive where i live, like $4.3 a bottle
should i give it a try?

>>11511039
tastiest boozer i ever had

>>11510824
is this a tripel or an IPA? i am confused by that label

Sipping on this right now friends. Not bad. It tastes like the ocean, in a good way.

Hey dudes, dunno if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone have a resource for learning beer brewing? I wanna try my hand at it but don't know where to start

I drink this shit caus its cheap as fuck, $46 for a 30 pack

If Im feeling fancy I'll buy some faggoty ass craft beer but most of the time its this or VB

Cheers cunts

>>11511432
fucken dumb shit website, why the fuck is the pic sideways?? ahh fuck yas whatever

Didn't know they had longnecks at bws
Feels good man.

>>11511606
they have longnecks everywhere these days.

>>11510605
Boozy means that there is too much alcohol taste and burn. I don't understand why you have such a problem with that word.

>>11510687

It's a triple with a large hop bill for the style at 59 ibus. Its Belgian though so the hop flavors dont club you over the head.

>>11505239
He enjoys his IPAs
>>11511129
It's a tripel that also makes ipas

>>11511686
thanks lad. i do like my belgian IPAs so i'll give this a try if i see it

Happy Thanksgiving, Brandon!

>>11489727
I like it but it's a bit divisive. Lagunitas Sucks is a straight upgrade from it if you can find it and I genuinely love that.

>>11492113
Sad I didn't get to pick any up this year but have one more bottle of 2017 left, probably gonna open it on Christmas with some friends. Solid Gold is better than it has any right to be for the price.

>>11493086
Whenever your sweet little heart desires, I usually have it with food though or as a dessert.

>>11494915
I'm a Shiner apologist but this is terrible

>>11498875
Xmas Bomb is absolutely lovely. If the chili notes bother you they're mostly under wraps, the coffee comes out pretty strong though. My favorite is still Pirate though.

>>11508699
What the fuck. This was a great release too, sad to see it bastardized like this.

>>11509755
St. Albertus Xmas or Mikkeller Santa's Little Helper

>>11510175
Kind of comes hand in hand with the style, aging it a bit might give you better results but if you don't already enjoy the base it wouldn't be worth it

>>11512394
Maybe if you're poor white trash.

Is this a good deal? I like breakfast stout but CBS and KBS are way to expensive here

>>11512603
>but if you don't already enjoy the base it wouldn't be worth it
Well I've never had an old ale so I didn't know what to expect. But I just finished a second bottle and it tasted much better than the first one i had. Really great beer.

>>11512612
You can keep your fruity IPAs and weird offshoot beers that nobody's outside of /ck/ has heard of, and I'll stick to the greatest lager in the world

>>11512394
Damn straight
>>11512612
Nah senpai youre wrong
Pic related, cant go wrong with cheap light beer when theres no craft

>>11511345
There are loads of forums and video series on the practice. Just start googling shit

>>11512957
>Like the base beer.

Killed it for 2018

>>11512767
go for it, Siren is a good brewery

Is KBS worth the £7 a bottle?

>>11513297
It's worth one go around. Just to experience the hype train. I paid like 10$ for a 10 oz pour a couple years ago, give it take a couple bucks, and I didnt regret it. It also helped me realize I didnt necessarily need to seek out a bottle. It's great stuff, but I'd never go out of my way for it

>>11487740
Some anon got me into Belgian ales and now I'm hooked

>>11489555
Try Samuel smiths imperial stout, their chocolate stout is also good. British beers but you can get them in the US

Can anyone recommend any saisons/ unfiltered farmhouse style beers?

>>11513346
I have this in stock, but didn't drink it yet
Crooked stave's Vieille artisanale is great

Its French Heineken. It's a shit national export lager.

>>11495137
Why would anyone want an overhopped spiced brown ale. Odell is retarded, the only good decision they've made lately is getting rid of bombers.

>>11513782
Underage or total pleb

>>11513840
Yes, yes you are.

>>11513691
Prairie over charges for the product theypush. It's good but has a premium on it over alot of other stuff.

>>11510537
Paulaner Salvator or Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen. Then go from there to trying a bunch of different things. I don't know.

>>11510723
Their pumpkin beer sucked shit, but it always hurts worse when you watch something grow and die.

What is the worst beer to drink on Thanksgiving and why is it IPA?

>>11514553
IPA goes with bold or spicy flavors as the bitterness will clash with more subtle and savory flavors. IPA's demand acidity and spice and other intense flavors. For Turkey day I recommend Ambers and non imperial Brown's. Both are a bit maltier than your usual lager and pilsner beers, but you also want something smooth with a low abv so you can drink while conversing and not get drunk. The flavors best deal with the mellower savory flavors of roast Turkey, potatoes, gravy, and stuffing.

>>11488336
What the fuck is wrong with some people? Do they really think that beer would have gotten as popular as it is if everyone just thinks it's shit?

>>11496131
No, he means viola

I got a bottle of this for free. It's like, 2 years old so the actual sriracha taste is gone, apart from nice heat, and it's pretty thick and chocolatey. I wanted to dislike it, but it's actually pretty enjoyable guys. It's like drinking a dark chocolate with chili bar

>>11514771
>IPAs taste like shit so they require strong flavors to mask it.
Correct!

>>11515207
haha, what the fuck food masks the flavor of IPA?

This was some good shit. Although I wish the bourbon flavor would have been a tad bit more prominent, but it was good nonetheless.

>>11515445
>>11515207

IPAs? If I wanted to drink something with flavor notes of Lysol, soap and bison butthole I wouldn't, because it would be shit.

>>11515731
Just like your opinions and sense of taste!

Recommend me a good sour to try for the first time, something that would be available at gint iggle or acme.

>>11513346
Saison Dupont
Saison 1858
Brooklyn Brewing Sorachi Ace
Sierra Nevada Ovila Abbey

Hoegaarden is the next one up from Blue Moon, it's still a macro though. If you like that, try other Belgian witbiers. Also: >>11514263 for German wheat beers.

>>11514988
it's just insecurity.

>>11515006
i do like that stuff, but i don't drink any rogue beers any more after i found out about them being cunts.

>>11512394
I showed my... what is she? Slam pig? How far the apple fell from the tree - Pilsner Urquell, Budvar/Czechvar and Budweiser.

She's an Urquell girl. I might have to keep feeding her beer.

>>11515975
No idea what you can get at those stores but for a Belgian sour, you should be able to get something good and affordable by Lindemans.

>>11511345
There's a book - How to Brew by Palmer. I think it's all up on a website as well. Very informative. Gives you options of "This is the way to do it right with the math to back it up, but option B is close without any paperwork. If you need charts for Option A, they're in Appendix C... it's in depth, but it won't lose you.

Look out cunt, best beer coming through.

I've lived in Australia for 20 years and I don't think I've ever tried this.

>>11516502
It's a good beer who never sold out to the big bottling companies. The greens go down a bit easier, but I like the taste of the sparkling.

Thanks German fags, it's the only decent one I can get In my backward ass town. Bit expensive but worth it.

>>11513297
Maybe for a novelty. Its good but you can probably find better stouts for a better price per ounce.

This is just to start really, I've only started to get into beer seriously recently and this is the best I could find that sort of aligned with what I know

>>11513502
One of the only breweries I like their IPAs, the 90 minute and 120 minute can even be aged for years because of their high malt content.

>>11517294
Is it better than hopfish? I've had that and it was okay, definitely different.
Off-topic but their extra pale ale was the shittiest thing I've drank pale ale wise, everything they make taste so goddamn malty.

Post terrible craft beers

>>11517329
Friend gave me one one. One of the worst I've ever had.
Also i recognize they're not bad but I've never had a dogfish head beer that I liked.

>>11491655
Better than the original but even better on tap. Still not great though.

>>11517341
I think this stuff is made by Coors. It gave me the worst hangover I have ever had

>>11488351
only a weak insecure with a real fragile masculinity would think like that senpai

Anyone else get into some Black Friday releases

>>11517567
I got some of that, and some of this
both excellent

>>11517567
Currently waiting in line for a Black Friday release.

>>11516302
their sparkling ale is the only decent beer made by a big brewery in Australia. Everything else tends to be either ok or mediocre. I'd stick to the craft scene or brewing your own unless you're looking for a sessionable lager.

Coopers may have been the go to in the 90s and 00s but it just doesn't hold up to what is on offer with today's brewing scene.

>>11517567

Eat your McDonald's and drink your Tecate, Pedro. Nobody cares about your lack of taste.

>>11488336
Randall probably drew this sipping on a mug of cheap coffee, didn't he?

>>11488351
Oddly enough, all the women I know have no problem drinking cider, beer and spirits at all, so that's another strike against your sweeping assumptions. I firmly believe that in many cases, people who don't like X simply haven't found the best way for them to enjoy it (e.g. I dislike wine, but I enjoy port).

This is breddy damn gud

>>11517524
F u

>>11517676
Yeah, hanging out at a brewery sharing top tier beer with friends while you wait to buy more top tier beer, then walking over to another brewery a few blocks away and buying more excellent beer, then walking to a restaurant with an incredibly delicious and rare beer on tap is such a shitty way to spend a Friday morning off of work

>>11518016
>then walking to a restaurant with an incredibly delicious and rare beer on tap
Speaking of, this beer is amazing

Bretty gudd desu.

Ratebeer is underrating it.

>>11504222
Geuze. Belgian styled IPA. Stout.

Truth is I love all beer and the variety keeps me from getting fed up with it.

>>11510824
Unironically one of the best beers I've ever had, and my favorite from the Chouffe lineup.

>>11518092
More IPA should use belgian yeast. I really want a NEIPA Belgian yeast hybrid, but not really sure if its possible because I think NEIPA use a specific strain of Vermont yeast to begin with

>>11511129
Officially it's a merge between the styles but make no mistake. It's not discreet at all in it's bitterness when fresh.

>>11518120
I would describe it more as a hoppy tripel than anything else

>>11518134
Yes that's a good description. Yet it's more hoppy than most 'pure' IPAs i've had.
