One of the most popular and advertised, but still haven't found a tastier beer.

Salutations from Portugal.

That is not St. UlrichsBock.

Remember: your small quality local brewery stands always at the top of beer power rankings.

>>5083992
I feel sorry for you.

Geh weider OP.

SINCE WHEN BEER IS GOOD YOU MONGOLOID CUNT

>bavarian IPA
There is logically no way to find a better beer.

The US is a rather large country...

Avery had an Anniversary brew with figs and spices that is not only one of the best, but one of the most unique.

>>5084009
american hops are better though

I remember drinking some Dinkelbier from Riedenburg. Found it very good!

Labatt 50 Master race

>>5084097
I've tried almost everything from the quite impressive showcase of Riedenburger, the Dinkel is a little to sweet and "healthy" tasting for me. I like the Ur-Helles for casual drinking.

>>5084113
>too healthy
>löl

>>5084134
"healthy"tasting, not actually too healthy. You know that whole grain pasta? Kinda like that. It's funny for a change, but I don't want it on a regular basis.

Dets guad meit. Wat säy ju tu asser bawärien biers?

>>5084183
Not him, but this is Schlössle Spezial from Neu-Ulm, technically Bavarian.
Fun fact: the beer expired 3 weeks ago and I seem to have developed some kind of allergy, every time I drink it my throat begins to swell. I hope it's only because it's expired, it's too damn tasty to give up.
Anyway, I can still drink it without problems if I throw in an Antihistamine tablet before. Zero fucks given.

I am grod in Italia and there is definitiv a difference in quolity.

Augustiner Edelstoff und eben Hofmühl Kellergold

>>5084027
There is no other option. Celebrator is the best German beer I have ever had.

In my opinion:

>Czech Republic: MUST be a pilsner.
>USA: It's not going to be under 10% ABV, let's be real. The IIPA and RIS crowds will be fighting it out forever.
>Belgium: This is tricky, but it is certainly not Westy XII. My vote would be for a lambic. It can literally not be replicated anywhere else.
>Denmark: Pretty sure it's a bottle full of Mikkeller's fermented cum spiked with cocaine, the way people gargle that overpriced grog.
>Britain: It's probably a beer from a defunct brewery that was swallowed up by a larger company, like Fuller's or Wells and Young's. As such, it's a beer that has been in the cellar of some devout connesoir for a few decades, but that's part of what makes it the best. I mean something like the old Courage Imperial Stout or Gale's Prize Old Ale. Unmatched tradition and the ability to stand up to time, with no hope of replication by a larger company that only cares about the bottom line. I clearly care about this.

While I couldn't ever choose one beer to represent the best of the US, I fucking love Racer 5 and you're mah nigga. Top mentions would go to Maharajah from Avery, Melange 3 from The Bruery, Seizoen Bretta from Logsdon, and many of the new (lower ABV) American sours that are coming out.

>>5084793
>>5085382

As much as co/ck/'s like to complain about 'murrica's so called obsession with hops (which is completely blown out of proportion), Racer 5 would probably be my first choice when it comes to a suggestion for a well rounded American IPA.

I wish I could find this in America.

>>5084793
>>5085382
>>5085402
Oh hell yeah. Racer 5 is fantastic. It's a go-to standard beer for me if I'm at a bar even though I'm not usually an IPA guy.

Opinions on this?

I have liked everything that I have had from them.

>>5083951
I don't have any pictures of amazing beers from local breweries around here. We also don't export anything worth the piss it creates, as far as I know.

So does just posting the best beer I have ever had still count for this thread?

>>5086090
>>5086086
>>5085997
They stepped up the game you guys.
It's not even that bad.

>>5086250
Doesn't mean it's good either.

>>5086280
Nope, it isn't good. But if I'd try it without knowing the label, I'd say it's pretty drinkable.

>>5083951

I like this one far better.

>>5086250

The Winterbier is quite alright actually, had it two days ago.

im nowhere near an expert in beer, is this considered good? is it even known outside of spain?

Best beer from Normandy.

what are you talking about? can you read?

>>5085997
No

>>5085963
I like their stuff, but I prefer this more.

>>5089676
god I haven't had a good franziskaner in too long.

>>5089678
It's my favorite beer. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it at the local Ralph's in a few weeks. They use to carry it regularly.

>>5089681
I usually only get it when it's available on draft. It's god-tier wheat beer tho

>>5089676

Probably my favorite wheat beer. Good stuff.

>>5089617
That's just the glass.
Söflinger Kronenbier is also fucking delicious, but brewed in Ulm itself, so it's not Bavarian.
I would probably become and alcohol if I could afford it, I just love beer so much.

Normally I have a preference for darker beers but I have yet to discover a better Belgian ale than this.

I'm curious for all the non-American co/ck/s, how much good American beer do you get in your country? Or do you only get Budweiser and the other shit macrobrews? Do you even get Budweiser (and yes, I know in German Budweiser is entirely unrelated to American Budweiser?

>>5085382
>>5085402
I'm not sure it would be my favorite IPA (although at the same time, I'm not sure what would top it), but it's the beer I'd point to to demonstrate how an IPA should taste, if that makes any sense.

Not sure about best, and it's definitely not representative of American beer as a whole, but it's my favorite

>>5090855
>not knowing Budweiser is Czech
but the town actually was German, gib back clay

America is really too large to select a best beer from it, so I'll go with the best from my state.

Hard to find it, especially on tap though, the factory can't make enough to satisfy demand, apparently.

>>5090855
I tried some Samuel Adams the other day

It did not improve my opinion of American beers at all

>>5090139

Get on my level

>>5092036

Sam Adams is a Macrobrew.

>>5092050

Samuel Adams is why you know about "craft brews", noob. How old are you?

Best Baltic porter from Poland.

>>5090855
There's a small but decent selection of American craft beer where I am (England) if you're looking in specialist places but it's generally nowhere near as common as Euro beer imports.

>>5092075
>Samuel Adams is why you know about "craft brews"
Your experiences may not be the same for everyone else.

>>5093193

Just because you didn't live through a time when craft brew wasn't available in most stores doesn't mean something didn't happen.

But if you want to pretend that history began when you were born in 1995, be my guest.

>>5083992
Portugal is pretty much Sagres and Super Bock. Never really got taste anything but their variations.
Theyre pretty good "Beer Brand Beer" type of beers.
I live in the states now and surprisingly a case of Sagres is about the same price of Yuengling or any other decent beer.

I didnt see it in Portugal but Sagres Bohemia is miles better than the regular one and its only about a buck more for a six pack. Ive turned a lot of people onto it and it shows since the once small case seems to grow every month.

I drank a lot of that in Cape Verde. Maybe it's their poor refrigeration but I was not impressed. However I could not complain given I was in Cape Verde.

>>5092036

Ugh, I bought a twelve pack of Sam Adams yesterday. The first one was amazing and the reason why I loved them in the first place. The next 5 were were tasting beers I've ever had. Like stomach acid mixed in with beer.

They've become inconsistent the last few years and it is very well possible you had some from a piss poor batch. Their other stuff (seasonal, specialty) is usually really good. I think they're stretching too thin with all the stuff they try to make and its killing their quality.

>>5095663
take that sam adams shit outta town. I can't through an airport without those homos trying to push that crap on me, and it does suck donkey ass.

I never order that. NEVER.

best is subjective

>>5095695
Congrats. You just picked the most overrated and boring beer from a brewery that constantly puts out other phenomenal shit. How do you feel?

>>5095695
>best is subjective
>mfw

OK, while we're on this subject, I've got a question for you guys: is there something wrong with me, or is Pliny the Elder the most overrated beer in existence? I admit, I'm not a huge beer guy- whiskey is more my schtick. Maybe there's just some incredible nuance I'm not getting. But I want to Russian River a couple weeks back and I preferred almost every other beer they had to Pliny, as did most of the people I was with. It's not even a very good example of an IPA. I've always said there should more to an IPA's flavor than just hops, but this is ridiculous. It doesn't even taste like an IPA, let alone a double IPA.

Don't get me wrong, it was really good, but I tasted some mindblowing beers there, and Pliny just wasn't one of them. I don't understand how anyone could call it the best beer in America. It's not even the best ale at Russian River.

>>5095856
It happens quite a bit actually. Every brewery has a solid entry level beer that gets blown out of proportion and overshadows all their other brews. Prime example: >>5095695

computer shit is fun when blazed especially if you know C and PL/SQL and other languages, JCL, that's jackel code maaaannn, if you know that you'll go to fucking hell!

When when fucking around with dev1, dev2, test1, test2, QA, UAT, have folk back stuff up so you can try stuff again. There's no second chance once you go to production.
