It's a myth that Europeans didn't have access to clean drinking water and turned to fermented or distilled beverages.

proofs?

>>19909815
Does it make ANY FUCKING SENSE that it took europeans until like 1950 to figure out that running water through a jug full of charcoal and linen made you get sick a lot less

>>19909613
The meta is shifting back to macro brews dont worry.

Imagine posting on /ck/ and not being learned on food history.

beer tasting good at all to anyone is a total psyop
it's neurotoxic and your body tells you that with the first sip.

>>19909855
you have a child’s palate

>>19909855
What region of the world might your ancestors be from?

If you’re drinking American grains you’re going to get bowel cancer

>>19909613
>now hated because Seattle hipsters popularized a shitty style
they are intentionally doing it to everything they touch and the next generation doesn't have context to even know whats what so they just think thats the way of things

>>19909675
beer is food and great for fattening up the field hands for the winter

>>19909801
> IPAs taste great if you're not a child
Anyone who’s honest with themselves know it’s not a fun time to choke down an excessively bitter hop bomb. If you actually like the taste of IPA, you must not have any functional taste buds.

>>19909826
yea since the concept of germs was even more absurd then believing God kill their brother because they masturbated yesterday.
And if that sounds dumb to you just realize we're currently doing something equally as dumb that people will look back on with befuddlement

>>19909826
this is a historically accurate plague mask they would stuff with hay/straw for a filter back in the year of 1373, they kinda worked just like beer kinda worked as well and it was a simple way to purify a huge amount of water that could be stored for long periods without bacteria growth

>>19909919
No

>>19909875
nothing but cane sugar for me

>>19909613
No one hates beer because hipster fags like IPAs you fucking spastic

>>19909919
i hated bitter, sour and spicy things but then i kicked a 10 year opioid habit then i couldn't get enough of those flavors

>>19910004
yes they do idiot.

For me, at the end of a long work day it’s a shot of whiskey and a PBR, the beer for the working Man.

My main issue with IPAs and the Hazy trend that followed them is that it became acceptable to leave in that bit of yeast (or an entire glass in the case of a hazy). That stuff gives me the shits and took me a few years to realize this was the culprit. Stick to lagers and pilsners with zero problems, but IPAs and Hazy's dominate the any tap list these days. The trend is starting to reverse, with some decent lagers starting to get made again, but for years you would get scoffed at for not going for the "superior" IPAs. Meanwhile German lagers are able to taste amazing without needing a shitload of hops or some fruit infusion

>>19909801
yeah anybody who doesn’t love JUST HOPS is a child! you are definitely the mature person

>>19910058
There’s a homebrew shop nearby that thankfully recognizes the value of variety. A third of their fridge is still dedicated to the 200 regional hazy IPAs since im in the PNW and that shits still popular here, but they also have a huge selection of nearly every style and a lot of good foreign imports that I can’t find anywhere else.

>>19910185
That's nice, especially the foreign import selection. Like I said, I think the trend is shifting more in that direction so I'm optimistic about the future of beer.

I'll drink just about any beer but IPA's are overrated. their flavor is hamfisted, in your face and zero subtlety. preferring an IPA to something like a Miller High Life is immature, hipsters aren't sophisticated enough to enjoy standard issue beer

>>19909801
IPA is such dogshit. It's the beverage equivalent of being a cuckold. Palette spoiled to the point it can only take the most unpleasant aspect of the experience. America is hell

>>19910252
you can't binge drink cider without shitting your pants and getting diabetes

>>19909673
Cum it is then, just like yesterday.

>>19909855
This. Beer tasted like shit when I was 18 and it still tastes like shit now that I'm 30. All the faggots who scream 'muh mature tastebuds' can tongue my anus.

anyone here unable to drink beer? even a single beer makes my stomach upset and two pretty much guarantees I will need to throw up.

i don't have that with any other alcoholic drink. i am wondering if I am allergic or something like that.

>>19910771
yes, it's probably the yeast. does this happen when you drink very clear lager type beers too?

>>19909613

There's a theory that beer brewing lead to farming and thus civilization.

>>19910747
Yes many people your age and younger grew up getting fed only frozen pizza and tendies from their single mothers

>>19910767
You're not making the point you think your making

>>19910771
This but wine. I'm a full blown functioning alcoholic but just one glass of wine gives me the worst fucking headache

>>19909613
is also good for you

>>19910826
Sorry but guinness sucks ass compared to literally any other stout, at least in the US.

>>19909801
Regular IPA can be alright, but the west coast style of IPA just tastes like hops pickled in urine.

>>19910569
Skill issue, I love a good dry cider

Whats a good cookbook/booze book for cocktails? Im drunk and need recs plox

not gonna argue with that but I do wanna point out that Seattle also invented the platonic ideal "just a beer" beer so it evens out IMO. Picrel.

>>19910857
No you suck ass

Also its best fresh at the Dublin brewery
It would be a lot better in the US if we could brew it here

>>19910904
God damn shes so fucking fine bros

Also theres a cocktail thread up check there

>>19909801
Even to this day common first world water supplies have trace amounts of bleach administered in order to prevent microorganisms from contaminating the water supply.
At what point in history do you think there was never any micro organism growth in the wells and rivers?

Stout = sour = doppelbock = Belgian dubbels and quadrupels > other Belgian ales > shit > lager > IPA

>>19909613

No. You moron. People drank dirty water in the past. If you live in a place with bad drinking water, like Mexico or India, your body adapts to it.

They do make it in the US, brainlet. Guinness has a brewery in Baltimore.

>>19909613
>tastes great if you’re not a child
>What gives
You being incorrect. Adults might be more tolerant of bitterness than children, but that doesn't mean adults enjoy the taste of IPAs. People just like and dislike what they like and dislike. They don't dislike IPAs because of the hipster fad. They never liked IPAs in the first place.
And then those who dislike IPAs starting getting fed up with two thirds of the taps being IPAs because everything was trying to capitalize on some forced hipster fad. Do you know how disappointing it is to go to a bar only to find out that they only have one, maybe two lagers on tap, and sometimes they're lagers you don't care for at that?

>>19911967
>Guinness has a brewery in Baltimore.
Can confirm. It's right near the airport.

>>19910778
Not beer, wine

>>19910857
I'm Irish and I'm 100% sure that if I drank Guinness in America I would think it was shite as well.

>anyone here unable to drink beer?

I haven't had a beer (Bells Two Hearted is my favorite) since the Superbowl, as I get a headache after the first one or two (been drinking Long Island Iceteas instead) and this also happened to me about 10 years back but after a year, I went back to beer with no problems. Someone told me the headaches are from the tannins in the hops?

Humans were harvesting the much more common and wide spread wild grains long before they started farming.

>>19910771
You're probably just a huge Pussy. Harden the fuck up bro.

>>19909936
Obsessed

I live in Ohio and we've got a great selection of non-IPA beers. God bless being uncool.

>>19909855
Your body considers anything bitter to possibly be toxic. That's why children typically don't like coffee and tea the first time they try them and even some adults will sweeten them. Beer works the same exact way.

>>19910569
>getting diabetes
We’re not talking about angry orchard and similar dogshit. A good cider isn’t more sugary than a beer or wine.

>>19909801
I'd rather a Trappist ale or RIS

>>19913494
with?

>>19913003
Wild grains of today are still human-modified. Wild grains of pre agriculture were puny compared to modern ones. So were the fruits, but they're bigger in general. And just fermented grains is not a beer. Beer has always been the drink of faggots due to hops, which taste like shit with awful yields, to make beer you have to be wasteful.

>>19914671
> Wild grains of today are still human-modified.

No, "wild" means natural, though the grains we eat today have been modified over the generations.

> Wild grains of pre agriculture were puny compared to modern ones.

Yes, and yet they were more widespread and plentiful then fruit and porridge that was made from them was the ancestor of beer, long before wine.

Piss off you pretentious fag.

>>19909801
Don't bother. People will perpetuate the small beer meme. In reality it was a way to get calories while also using up all your grain vs letting any of it go to waste.
Even today there are countless streams you can drink from with no issue.

>>19910252
Lol, what a backward colony
