US craft beer scene is to beer what Starbucks is to coffee.

milk stouts were first made in england

some of them are pretty tasty, although anything that goes for more than just a very mild sweetness is usually gross

You unfortunately visited the US during the height of the worst beer fad we've had in 30 years.

>unfermentable sugars
what is this

>visit the UK
>they put unfermentable sugars in their beer

It was great 10 years ago. The youths decided to destroy it, though.

DIPA's and nitro stouts are ok. Hyper juicy normie IPA's are gay, most lagers are bad, and sours/saison's are both good.

>the youth
this is your fault old man. you fucking piece of shit. you let the immigrants and the shitskins in. you sold our country to israel. you defeated the third reich. you destroyed my country and turned the next generation of men into pussies and women into vapid whores. fuck you buddy.

fuck you.

Lactose post-fermentation is added in lieu of maltodextrin or dextrose or other forms of sweeteners because yeast cannot digest milk sugar. It is a way to add additional body and sweetness to an unfiltered beer without running the risk of creating can-bombs.

Who doesn't know this lol

I think the quality of craft beers depends on where you're at and what you like. In the bay area there's certainly a lot of shit, but we also have some breweries with a few great beers like Anderson Valley Boont, North Coast Scrimshaw, Bear Republic Racer 5, and Russian River Pliny the Elder. And then there's Almanac (and a few breweries staffed by ex employees), who're the only people on the planet who should be allowed to do memey sours and fruit-tasting beers. Those guys are on their own level. At the end of the day, though, I'm probably drinking a modelo.

>inb4 some neckbeard who drinks milkshake stouts tells me IPAs are too bitter

>>12576186
You do know that no one is forcing you to buy those right? I don't buy them and there are still more good beers than I can shake a stick at.

>unfermentable sugars
tell that to my guts after I drink milk lmao

>>12576556
I fucking hate NY but both Finback and Singlecut are in Queens and they put out some great fucking beer.

>>12576186
When you can tell someone has no idea what they are talking about and they just sit around all day thinking of things to shit post about and thats about it.

>>12576186
Milkshake beers (despite what craft obsessives want you to believe) is a niche substyle.

>he doesnt exclusively drink beers which follow the 1516 Reinheitsgebot

Personally I tend to stick to stuff like Corona and Miller light just for the refreshing aspect of drinking a nice cold, not too heavy beer. But there are lots of good local breweries if you want something more substantial. Don't bother with mass produced beer if you want something high quality.

have a fridge full of this and vitus, kinda like it but i dont really think of it as beer it tastes like bubblegum almost

>weissbier
Choose one.

>>12577029
Technically beers that followed the 1516 Reinheitsgood as written wouldn't be able to add any yeast in, and would be stuck with whatever strains ended up in the beer by chance.

>>12577087
Yeast was added to the allowed ingredients after the mechanism of beer fermentation was discovered

Craft beer is going through a literal golden age right now and you're too stubborn to look past the bullshit made for baby-pallets. These juice-bomb IPAs fly off the shelves/taps cause normies love them, which gives these breweries a shitload of capitol to experiment and takes risks.

The best beer to possibly ever exist has been brewed in the past 10 years/is in barrels currently.

>NE
Usually pine-forward tasting with balanced malt
>Hazy
Unfiltered, has a heavier mouthfeel
>Juicy
Slightly lower alcohol content, usually a citra hops or other similar fruity hops
>Milkshake
Lactose, an unfermentable sugar, gives sweetness and texture

I mean it's hipster craft beer, but it's not satan worship. These beers are tasty try-hards, feel free to laugh at them.
