BEERU???

>>19549533
はい、ビール

>>19549559
乾杯

Thinking of asking the bar I go to pick this up so I can have something other than soda.

Pacifico. Something about it just fucking hits, especially in summer.

Love wheat simple as

Gonna bring a keg of picrel to a barbecue later today.

>>19550681
Is this "beer"?

looking forward to this my next day off. surprisingly great beer, maybe best good ol stout

>>19550785
PROST

>>19552037
Danke sehr!

>>19549460
does root beer count? for me it has to be bangs.

>>19552117
Man, I wish sugar wasn't so bad for you. I love Bangs

>>19549460
I can still smell the summer of 2001.

yummy

Best thread.

>>19552290
Beer is the beverage of champions.

>>19552279
Try pouring it with more head next time

Best scotch ale?

>>19549460

>>19550794
Yes, its a German Schwarzbeir. That particular German brand labels it a malt liquor I think it was because of some legal or manufacturing reasons. i 'be not had it in over ten years (I don't drink much anymore and might give up alcohol), but its damn good and is like a light lager. You think it'll be a stout or porter, but its not its. Its light and clean.

>>19553038

>>19552749
Beer advocate say its this

>>19552117
Try Moxie, its better than root beer and tastes similar.

>>19553088
>better than oliet bangs
doubt

Just had a shower beer after doing 3 hours of yard work. Feels good.

>>19553073
it's definitely not. very bland and boring. was extremely disappointed with the 4pack i got recently, maybe just unlucky with the bottles.
on the other hand, if you can get ahold of this, this is the best scotch ale ive had. bitter punch but mellow and smooth mostly.

Good Sunday evening beer bros, I am 6+? beers in and pretty drunk right now (cheap beer and whisky). it's really strange I can still remember the painful memories. the more strange thing is I always become more calm when I am drunk, I never get angry or chimp out no matter how much I drink , unlike many others. Maybe it's just an illusion but I am more concentrated and more logically at the mement when I am intoxicated. It's kind of ironic because it's like when I am in this state, there is no "fun" things to do anymore other than philosophizing and meditating. Do I just have 'tism and even alcohol can't fix me?

Best beer imo

How many beers do you drink in a sitting?

>>19549460

>>19550655
extremely based scribe poster

>>19550657
Agreed, near any body of water in the summer I always grab these.

>>19552279
another perfect pour

>>19556427

The ironic thing is I posted the photos of beers I used to drink. I really don't drink at all anymore, but I remember what was good.

my favorite beer is Fillers esb or Trooper ale as its a copy of Fuller's.

>>19555886
2 liters of 10% beer

>Here's our 20%ABV lager in a 0.5 litre can. >Please drink it responsibly.

My favorite. Only takes one or two to get a buzz going. Tastes good. Little pricey though, $12 for the 6pk.

>>19550657
Yeah this stuff is heaven. If I could only drink one beverage the rest of my life it'd be this.

>>19550824
Wow does that look good. Nothing like a proper stout

>>19552776
Considered trying one of these. Worth the price? Bottle is certainly cool

>>19554444
It's not good to get to that state mate.

>>19549460
The humble Boddingtons is my choice.

>>19549460
Big fan of these.

Having a pint from my local brewery. 'Eraclea' A dry-hopped pale lager featuring Italian grown pilsner malt and German Saphir hops.

>>19550633
Would like to try that, I enjoy old speckled hen but it's not common here

>>19557290
I can't find a hen savean my lyfe

>>19555886
anywhere from 6 to 10 beers, but for me a "sitting" is like 10-12 hours with meals and water inbetween. i just kinda dedicate one day a week to vegetating to vidya and beer.

>>19557290
I wish I could find some Hen in the cans with the widget. Speaking of delicious imports, I wish I could find Abbot Ale or Tetley's or Beamish...

>>19552749
Black Isle in Scotland is the local brewery to me, they do a decent scotch ale. There's more Americans than Scottish here in Inverness so you may try it one day.

not my pic
too lazy to take picture

>>19552749
Traquair jacobite

>>19556965
They got a 24 variety pack of these at costco right now for 30$

>>19557081
>Considered trying one of these. Worth the price? Bottle is certainly cool
They are actually severely underpriced if anything

>>19557099
I like the Night Owl and Great Pumpkin but I really dislike the coffee and dark chocolate ones. I still drink them every year though because it's part of the season.

>>19550633
Shit ale, between John smiths and theaksons best bitter. Even worse when its been sat in the front of a shelf skunking

>>19552290
Based mild man

>>19557081
If you like smoked ham, eel or whatever give it a try.

Best one i ever tried
Had to struggle to open the package though

>>19549559
ビル?建物?

>>19560274
>soibot, my strength is waning

>>19554411
Scotch "style", but man I wish I could find file related again, might be my favorite beer.

I am le edgy

>>19559991
The Great Pumpkin is definitely my favorite, coffee one comes in second for me. It's really refreshing after a hard due with that little caffeinated kick and the flavors mix well imo. The stout is the worst one because there's just too much spice in it. Tastes like I'm drinking a glittery pumpkin candle.

>>19549460
I've been meaning to try out some IPAs, what's the best on the market?
The big names where I'm at are Lagunitas, Hazy Little Thing, Elysian, Voodoo Ranger, Stone IPA, Mind Haze, and Founders.
The only thing I'm not sure of is how gay all the packaging and designs look, but that doesn't really matter when I pour it into a glass.

>>19560507
the best IPAs are locally made. walk into a brewery or liquor store and see what people around you are making. the rest of them taste like the can you're drinking from

Why do beer opinions always sound like they were written by chatgpt? Does anyone actually like beer or are they just repeating some shit they read on social media?

>>19560507
>Lagunitas
They were bought out but did real well with not changing anything.
Lil somethin and their tiki IPAs are good, not overly bitter, hop stoopid is A tier in its class but definitely bittershit.
They have the faggy packaging because 99% of the craft brews are IPA slop ad they're trying to catch your attention. Read the little description and look at the ABV, that's the biggest indcator of what you'll be getting and theres set profiles between different brands regardless of what they say.
The 'fruity' labeled voodoos are good, as are some of the Stones. Set aside 20 bucks and get a variety, you'll know what you do/don't like within a few sipps

>>19560595
Because they are. Either AI garbo reviews of just pulling stuff out of their ass. I'm not into wine but I could bullshit to an expert for 45 minutes about the nuances that I made up and they wouldn't know. I've actually done this.
If I want a review on someting (I usually just buy it anyway its a few dollars I don't give a shit) I look up video reviews, the lower the view count the better, 9/10 timesand ignore any written score on 'beers here' website

>>19560574
>>19560697
Thanks for the tips.

>>19560717
>'m not into wine but I could bullshit to an expert for 45 minutes about the nuances that I made up and they wouldn't know. I've actually done this.
They were probably just being polite, running into blowhards with a big ego is an occupational hazard

>>19560721
You're welcome anon. I mean look at this bullshit LMAO file related. It's a slightly boozy and hoppy 10% beer with some fruit on the initial taste - like all the others. Thats it. It's 3 bucks a can and they'd do fine with a paper label stuck on askew.
>>19560726
I live in Sonoma County CA. They're ALL blowhards with a big ego, from the tourists to the ones that have been here for 40 years, to the ones with 15 million in property and vineyards. They're all chonic drunkards putting up a facade of 'connoisseirs of fine fermented beverages'.
It's some of the best wine in the world (makes french shit taste like drain water) but if you have a modicum of bullshit experience you get 9/10ths of the way there by playing along. The only real issue is descerning discrepancies between the little diffrerences, and a cheeky 'I'm not really into wine but I feel that This one has...' takes care of that.

>>19560765
So he's a tiki dog huh. That's a good price though.

>>19549460
Cavalier guy ran a sales pitch on Narragansett or however the fuck its spelt. He got the store manager to agree because of a Shandy. I requested a case of picrel. Personal interests for the win.
>>19557099
I want to try them but I don't want a full variety pack. I'm weary on fall beers

>>19560777
Checked. I was going for a stout but the literal liqour warehouse didnt have any (aside from the $20 bottle of barrel-aged stuff thats worth about 2)
I think it was ~3.29 with tax. They used to have an entire cooler full of local and limited stuff but I guess NO ONE bought them, and alas a few years later its just IPAs and Mexi(cheap german) imports. Hell even gas stations used to carry the big bottles of Lagunitas stouts pre2020.
Used to be able to get fuel and buy a 22oz bottle of coffee stout/whiskey barreled shit. Now it's 1 store of 20 that carry them and they're marked up 500% their worth.

>>19560507
The other guy's right that you should go local for IPAs and check the dates on them. The fresher, the better.
Lagunitas, voodoo ranger, and sierra nevada torpedo I still buy sometimes though. Those are some of the better IPAs that you can find everywhere.

>>19560477
I don't know if they age really well or if my tastes evolved, but last year I had one of the punkaccinos and 2 of the dark o' the moons that I kept in the pantry from the previous year since I couldn't bring myself to drink them, and I found them much more drinkable then. The harsher flavors seemed to mellow out. You might want to try aging the dark o' the moons and drinking them the next year.

Can't wait for the 'Tober season myself.

>>19549460
does anyone know any gluten free beers that are good for cooking? i used to use shiner bock before bc i lived in austin and its popular there. i tried some sorghum beer once, i dont remember the brand but it was really bad and i havent tried again since. i miss the taste in fried foods and stews

>>19561247
Yes, October is definitely the best month of the year.

>>19561537
>>19561247

>>19550625
Trooper is really fucking good

>>19550625
>>19562279
Is this supposed to be an iron maiden reference

>>19562400
This is the Iron Maiden-mascot beer. Wasn't trying to reference to anything, I just think it's legitimately really good

>>19562691
Oh okay sorry I just didn't know they had that. I'm not English.

>>19560765
>I live in Sonoma County CA. They're ALL blowhards with a big ego
Hey at least it's not Napa though

>>19562764
I'm not sure so. Californians at least have a lot to back up their ego. Their homes, their cars, their neighborhoods. Their kids are insufferable for sure though who could never live up to their parents.

>>19550644
thats alcohol free you dumb nigger , we have a saying regarding that in germany: Drinking alcohol free is like eating out your sister , it might taste the same but its just wrong

>>19557099
Tried these last year. Really comfy for the Fall while watching football with my dad. He likes them too.

>>19563119
>we have a saying regarding that in germany: Drinking alcohol free is like eating out your sister
Heaven on earth?

people posting IPAs should kill yourself.
this is a beer thread, not a hipster douchebag thread. die assholes.

>>19550633
>>19557290
Shit tier. The bottled variety comes in clear glass so you know it's crap.

>>19563911
This but unironically

Drink it ice cold

>>19560314
duvel means devil, anon. they are just going along with the theme
>>19560791
i had their marzen for the first time a few days ago. it was good, but i prefer festbiers

>>19560765
That's just dressed up malt liquor

>>19554444
There is a diabolical machine outside your house. It must be turned off.

Anyone here on the US East Coast?
I really used to enioy Ballast Points series of beer, Victory at Sea, Commodore, anything thats not their Sculpin IPA, but i havent been able to find anything other than that. What happened to their distribution? NY btw

IT IS AUGUST GENTLEMEN. OKTOBERFEST SEASONAL MARZEN LAGERS ARE BACK ON STORE SHELVES IN THE USA. REJOICE!!!

>>19550657
Based.
Love that shit.

I'm a beer noob. I've tried a few German beers and there seems to be a characteristic flavor present in most of them even in different styles. I can't really put my finger on what it is but it's almost savory, the flavors strong enough to filter me in some of them

>>19564574
What exactly are the beers you've tried? What are the brands or types of beer? I drink weizen beer (wheat/weiß/hefeweizen) they come in many different names but you may like wheat beers. Also try Früli, a Belgian straw berry beer. Belgian beers come in a lot of different flavours

>>19563967
Did I get filtered or does this one just taste like balsamic vinegar?

>>19564630
Just basic shit, gaffel kolsch, paulaner weisbier, a couple lagers

>>19550824
Based, have some in the fridge rn
Excuse the bang energy drink in the back, my brother gave it to me literally 4 years ago and it's gotten to the point of being an injoke between us
Pink elephant chads ww@?

>>19549460
I crave beoras. What do I get?

>>19563119
And I'm a severe depressive alcoholic who IS much more degenerate when on the sauce, even in mild amounts because I have to be extremely inhibited to be socially acceptable. With booze I easily panic, get aggressive, whiny and crying, and become contrarian and fatalistic for the sake of it.

So why is drinking non-alcoholic beers in the bar so wrong for me in particular, compared to regular?
I currently make and eat cannabutter and just drink a soda at the bar, for comparison.

>>19552117
Sioux city or bust.

>>19564321
Basically, they sold the brewery to some absolute retards for around $1B just as the NE IPA was about to take over the market. They were fucked, and then sold it again for pennies on the dollar to some oddly named midwestern concern, which has understandably affected their dist. Maybe you'll see it again, but it's not the same beer or company.

Lads, I finally did it. I found a French beer which tastes...good.

>>19560507
Sounds like classics. If you're a fat american those are the ones you should try. Tip: compare two of them side by side one night. Repeat until you've tested them all.

>>19560595
No you're correct. There are no drinkers existing exept for chatGPT. Alcoholism was solved in 2017 an so was poker and chess.

holy fuck this was the worst """""""beer"""""" i ever had. it tasted like carbonated vinegar.

>>19564660
Uhhh it shouldn't? Maybe you got a bad bottle or we have different taste buds or something, to me it's tart and kind of refreshing, kind of like sour candy

>>19550772
I prefer wheat without high fruity notes. I like drinking bread water, not tangy orange beer. It leaves a weird sensation in my throat.

>>19566389
what's the best bread water

>>19550785
I'd like to attend a barbeque and bring a mini keg. Sounds cozy.

>>19566393
Kvas or Malzbier.

>>19566447
these are alcohol free

It's TIME

>>19567778
Do you get drunk on Pumpkin beers.

>>19567778
>>19568009
Imagine owning a pumpkin patch, and spending your days brewing pumpkin beers and selling pumpkin products.
I could forget about racking up college debt, my narcissistic brother, and all the worries in the world to just live a quiet and comfortable life on the farm. That would be the dream.

>>19568018
that kind of thinking is a trap
avoidance

>>19566447
Are you underage?

>>19568018
Pumpkin farm / orchard / berry farm so your summer is booked up. Sell em fresh, make ciders, wines, and beer. Jams, butters, etc.
Truly the life

Bow to the king

>>19568896
Are your tastebuds numb? Those tastes the most similar to bread. If you wanna get drunk drink some Korn on the side.

The ultimate winner

>>19569057
Oh for fecks sake

>>19569057
Used to go to Dublin every year for Bloomsday. Once you've had Guinness or Murphy's on tap there the canned stuff back home is just piss.
It really is a liquid meal.

>>19558102
>pining for Old Speckled Hen, Abbot Ale, and Tetleys
Grim. Those are the absolute blandest bog standard ales you can buy. Get a proper pint down you.

>>19549460
Which malt liquor tastes good? They all taste like shit. I haven't had Mickey's yet, is that any good?

>>19569551
Been longing for a Landlord ever since I got back from England. Anyways cheers

>>19549460
It's Friday and I'll have the house to myself tonight, what pack of beers should I cop?

I tried picrel out of curiosity. It has that weird aftertaste that all high ABV beers seem to have, I don't know what it is exactly. It's like a sweet & bitter taste that gets in the back of my mouth.
That aside, those big 40oz bottles sure make you feel like you've hit the bottom of the barrel.

>>19569794
>those big 40oz bottles sure make you feel like you've hit the bottom of the barrel.
This doesn't sound like a good thing

>>19569798
It isn't but I don't mean I've gone that far myself. I just get various beers from the local specialty beer store every once in a while to try new stuff. Funnily enough I tend to not like anything I try.

>>19569832
>Funnily enough I tend to not like anything I try.
I'd imagine various speciality beers would only be enjoyed by particular niches. That is to say they aren't tailored to the average drinker. Must be interesting to try them all though.

>>19569845
Interesting is the right word. There's so many styles and brews it gets hard to even decide what to get. Sometime I just pick cool labels, other times I pick a flavor profile and see what exists.
I can say for sure that I just don't enjoy sours nor anything aged in liquor barrels, even if I like said liquor.
I can't stand stouts with lactose either, they just too cloyingly sweet. Dry stouts and coffee stouts are great though.
High ABV is a tossup, either they hit just right and become a favorite, or they have that weird taste I mentionned.
I liked ale on lees when I was younger but nowadays they come across as too sweet and thick.
Hazy IPAs disgust me but clear ones are fine. In fact, a clear peach IPA is my favorite beer ever, Autre Chose by Unibroue.
Most lagers and pilsners are innoffensive, I often have one as a "starter" beer.
I'm sure there's more to say but I forget.

How're canadian beers, never tried one yet

>>19552117
I don't like root beer much but the A&W is great. Also if you get one in a joint and not to go they serve them in huge mugs like pic rel that they keep in the fridge instead of filling that crap with ice.

>>19569888
Macrobrews are the same basic stuff you'd expect from anywhere.
There's a ton of microbrews of every style but Unibroue and Trou du Diable are big names with a lot of good beers.

>>19549460
Step aside kids, the adults are here

>>19569917
Who?

>>19568894
It's not. It's simply switching ladders.

I can't fucking find Asahi, Kirin or Sapporo where I live and have to settle for this when I'm in the mood for Japanese style beer. It's just not the same.

its okay bro, you can have a alcoholfree beer.
let the anons rage all night for someone enjoying their drinks :)

I just drank this. Its meh. Probably 7/10 at best. I think I should just cross the border and get me some Belgian beers.

>>19570961
I think the UK has the best beers in euroland desu senpai. Start there

>>19570961
I find all Brewdogs beers to be 4/10 at best. Go for the Belgian beers, I don't normally like IPA at all but Vedett do a nice one.

Officially done with all IPAs with the only exception being black ones.

Genuinely pissed off to see that 90% of all craft beer is IPA when I go shopping. Oh wow, you made some super bitter pisswater with the TINIEST hint of citrus fruit at the end. Fucking amazing!!

>>19572530
Move somewhere with better breweries

>>19572530
Now you're ready to get into Belgian and German beers with actual flavours

>>19570560
I'm a Radegast kind of guy.

>>19572530
>Genuinely pissed off to see that 90% of all craft beer is IPA when I go shopping
while they’re not really my thing anyway, this is why i refuse to drink IPAs- pretty much out of spite
they should be a small niche style of beer but instead they impose themselves because trash breweries and retarded normies LE 7% DUUUUDE
go to a bar and 7/9 taps are ipas with the last two being bud lite and bud

Looking for brown ale. New castle any good

>>19573714
Where I am it's Miller Lite, Bud Lite, Corona Extra, Blue Moon, and Angry Orchard in most places.

>>19573731

>>19555886
one. two on fridays. shit is way too expensive in canada to do any more than that (if you are drinking proper beer, which we have plenty of in BC)

>>19575051
wrong. you must be living in east coast or something, maybe california, PNW is leagues ahead of most of north america in beer.

>>19572805
Based. Radegast is one of the best Czech beers. Just a little better than Kozel. My favorite Czech beer is Svaty Norbert, brewed by Strahov monastery

>>19575058
Wrong. PNW is a shit hole with one good brewery, Deschutes
