Genesee Cream Ale. God damn love it

A high-tier staple in Central Europe. Very reliable with a reasonable price, can be found in most good stores. I prefer Benediktiner and Franziskaner when I can get it though.

>>5906630
Can we not discuss seasonal beers?

Slightly buzzed off of a Southern Tier Pumking beer. Dear lord, best beer I've ever tasted.

>>5906653
What the fuck is going on with that head?

Also, pic related.

this is maximum high tier session beer

So is this thread about 'solid beers', session beers or beers we feel shameful for liking. Because these are not the same thing, OP.

>>5906706

that shit will foam forever.

If some german invites you to a "jump of weissbier" ... dont. It means downing a bottle and then jumping off the table which will always result in projectile vomit because that stuff foams so much.

Good stuff

TOP PLEB

Thoughts on this?

>>5906642
Worst fucking beer farts ever, worse than the first time I had a bottle conditioned beer and drank the sludge at the bottom of the bottle.

>>5906879

fyugg off

>>5906880
I prefer asahi dry but its decent for a nip beer

By now most of the beers in my hometown are made in the same brewery but I still think it tastes a bit different and better than the others. And it's of course cheaper than the local microbrews.

Innis and Gunn of all kinds

>>5906630
I usually down a pitcher of that beer each sunday during the texans game, I dont know anyone who would be shamed for drinking it though. Its actually quality beer, not piss.

What are you trying to say, FGGT?

just a simple cheap nothing flavored beer i can drink on a weekend afternoon.

>Not liking a Pale off tap with a few of the boys
How more unAustralian can you get?

I like Guinness

>inb4 canned shit
>inb4 bottled shit

there is only one way to drink Guinness, and that is off tap. if you drink bottled/canned Guinness, you're only trying to look hardcore and you know it

La Trappe any day, every day.

I've been drinking this one as a session beer for ages, but recently it's started to taste sweet to me (which seems to happen with a lot of beers I drink daily for a while, no idea why), so I've been drinking leffe blonde. Both on tap, rather than bottles usually

>>5907158
K. I do agree with you, but I also disagree. Guiness on tap can be great, but also can vary. I like it out of the can, k? It is fucking delicious. I'll never buy bottles again though.

>>5907158

>4.2% ABV

Dis shit right here nigga

Nothing beats a Becks

Could drink all day. And have multiple times

Good choice in any situation.

>>5907158

As soon as you build a guiness pipeline from Ireland to Poland I'll start fallowing your advice, laddie. Till then nobody serves it here.

>>5907357
This is my erry day larger, my hangover is never as bad with it for some reason and it doesn't destroy my gut.

This is my comfy beer. Regular Yuengling is my draft go-to when in doubt, but this shit is my "just want a beer" beer at home.

>>5906880
>>5906896
I've actually never tried any nip beers. Don't want to get too off-topic, but what's a good one to try to get introduced to them? And to help keep things on-topic, are they good as a general purpose/go-to beer, or would I need to have a taste for them?

>>5907453
Japanese macro brews are pretty similar to american big lagers in that they're usually very light in flavor, perhaps some effect of using rice and other stuff instead of only barley. I'd say compared to american big lagers the japanese counterparts are somewhat more dry and bitter, and they work quite nice in a hot day. Can't tell anything about their microbrews though since I haven't tried any and I don't know any shipped to where I live.

>>5907457
I've been meaning to try them for a while. Just moved to Madison, and I feel like I see a lot more of them here than I have elsewhere for some reason. Guess it has something to do with the dime a dozen Asian restaurants all over town. I'll give them a go next time I'm out and about.

Not really a beer connoisseur but I like it once in a while, here's my personal list.

>Guinness is only relevant when you're in Ireland and it's from the tap, all the rest is not Guinness and never will be
>Young's Double Chocolate is a must drink
>Franziskaner is GREAT
>Paulaner is fine too
>Netherlands have damn fine beers too
>Flying Dog's Raging Bitch pale ale is great though you must like loadsa hops in our beer, definitely something weird for us Europeans
>Asahi Dry is the best eastern "cheap" beer you can find
>Kirin is fine too

>>5906630

>>5907158
Guinness Foreign Extra is actually pretty good.

>>5906983
Mah niggaru.
I&G is the tops.

>>5907514

Agreed. I get extra stout from time to time and it's ok but foreign style is a good deal better.

>>5907457

This. Jap beers are really nothing special and not worth wasting your $ on. Never had a micro brew from there though since it's almost entirely the macros that are exported.

>>5907536
It's just fucking god tier simplicity. That firm but not overpowering vanilla/oak palette that you get from it is so damn smooth, it's an absolute pleasure to drink and never gets old. Plus they put real effort into their seasonal beers which are also cracking.

Guinness is not bad at all, solid taste even if its water compared to other stouts, highly sessionable, absolutely beautiful to look at

>>5907158

But Guinness is a pleb tier stout.

>>5906983
I really don't like it; very strange taste imo.

Most people rave about it.

>>5906653
Prefer it to Franziskaner, and Weihenstephaner, but harder to get than either in the UK.

>>5906755
>>5907426
>>5907261
Agreed. Though I wouldn't session La Chouffe.
My suggestions:
>Timothy Taylor Landlord
>Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
>Hoegaarden
>Brugse Zot
>Kernal table beers/pale ales

>>5907693
>Very strange taste imo
Well that's alright everyone has differ-

>Prefers Paulaner to Franziskaner and Weihenstephan
Are you actually fucking joking right now

>>5907158
I'll take that anyday (even the bottle/can version) over a bud, Miller, Coors.

A shame I can't find the foreign extra unless I drive like 20 miles for it.

Brewed in my city. Every night after work, have a bottke or two.

>>5907142
it's good, but obsidian is the superior brew

Spotted Cow all day erry day

unless I'm broke. Then it doesn't really matter I can drink shitty beer, i'm nothin fancy. Bud, Schlitz, Schmidts, Molson. Doesn't matter to me

>>5906653
I've had few of these when I was in Germany and it's mid-tier max

>>5906880
It's pretty shitty. Bought some during my weeaboo phase and tried to convince myself to like it.

Basically a slightly less shitty Corona.

>>5907747
Same, Firebrick and Dark are my go to

>>5907158
MOST OVERRATED SHIT IN THE WORLD

>>5906755
Anchor Steam was my go-to beer while living in the US.

Shepherd Neame are britains oldest brewery and make some great beers. 1698 is a personal favourite of mine although pretty much everything they do is great.

Not sure how common these are in America but anyone in britain who hasn't tried them I recommend that you do. You can find them in most supermarkets although I think 1698 is only sold in ASDA.

>>5907793

I've never tried the 1698 but many other Shepherd Neame products are widely available in the USA.

Thank you based Lithuania

>>5907158
>MUH PINT

Nah, if you want to have a few cans at home no one gives a shit. So stop trying to look hardcore with you "pints only" shite

>>5907501
i believe Nigeria is pretty good for guinness, they fucking love it more than we do

>>5907793
Shepherd Neame is definitely one of the best of the "big" British breweries, along with Fuller's.
Bishop's Finger is pretty much my go-to bitter.

>>5906630
Anybody got a recommendation for a good milk stout, preferably on that's easy to find in the US?

>>5908025
Left Hand Milk Stout. It also comes in Nitro form.

I love Samual Smiths Organic chocolate stout. I could drink it everyday. Natty Noh or Genesee for something cheap.

>>5908025
Just about to post this and noticed I was already ninja'd. Oh well, this shit is amazing and I can drink six a night.

>>5908087
>>5908055
You're both cool people, thanks!

>>5907422

>>5907457
>>5907540

Hintachno nest is an awesome micro that's exported from japan. The Espresso Stout and Red Rice ale are both great

I don't know if I could drink them every day but Einstok makes some good beers.

>>5907785
B-but Guinness on a good Nitro tap is a damned good dry stout. Not OP but bottled and canned Guinness isn't the same as draft

Bock season is starting in Austria.

>>5906793
Top laugh
I'll remember that one!

>>5908246

In Holland too, which is always double nice because the shops and supermarkets get rid of their summer stock cheap.

>mfw Brewdog Punk IPA at 40 cents a bottle

>>5908490
>Brewdog Punk IPA at 40 cents a bottle
That's cheap as fuck. Over here it's like 2,50€.

pretty much everythin my local brewery has to offer.Disregard the alcohol free/reduced versions, couldn't find a picture without them.
Mainly Pilsner Lager, but i enjoy every other beer they produce, too.

>>5908205
canned is not to bad, bottled is crap.

Why can I not have a brewery fill my growler, and drink it there? What's up with that?

>>5907771
Only had a few Thornbridge beers so far, all on tap. really enjoyed them. no idea how good they are bottled

>>5908655
Why would you drink from the growler?

>>5908668
I'd share it and would expect glasses, it's essentially a pitcher. It is about half the cost as buying it pint by pint at the bar. I just don't understand the price difference, it's the same beer.

>>5906630
probably sierra nevada pale ale. maybe lagunitas IPA... I mostly drink homebrew since I have too much of it

One of my favourites.

There's also a microbrew where I live that do the growler thing. 10$ for 2 litres. They usually have a good variety. Their Winter Warmer is top notch, their Best Better is pretty good, and their IPA is superb. Their double IPA was even better but they only had that for a bit.

>>5908708
So you don't want to support your local brewery as much as you could? I'm not saying throw your money at them, but growlers are a take home thing. 5$ a pint isn't a bank breaker

>>5908769
It just irks me. I can't think of any other examples where take away is half the price of dining in, for the exact same product.

>>5908755
youre not from regina are you

>>5908841

New Brunswick. The microbrew here is Picaroons. Love the company, they always have cool holiday brews. The 12 Beers of Christmas was a neat idea. Candy cane beer was kind of gross, but egg nog was actually okay.

Knowing what matters since 1876.

ctl F: no red tail

Really its a great ale id rec to everyone

I really hate the spicy after-taste on this. Liked Sequoia and Chiron, nothing that I've tried of theirs has been above 'solid' though.

>>5907793
Spitfire and bishop finger are just incredibly average, haven't tried the others.

Paige 24 is a great brewery, the only decent French brew I know of.

>>5908025
>>5908087
>>5908055
To me, Sone's Coffee Milk Stout is superior to both Left Hand milk stouts in every way.

>>5911354
no way had them side by side......left all the way imo. Draft it's no comparison...left's. Also the stone is only like 4.6%....I'd rather drink a Guinness

>>5906630

I just drank two bottles of Marks and Spencers Cornish IPA and it was in the IMPORTED section of a foreign shop and I told some foreigner that it was a special delicious blend and he spent a FORTUNE on it and it was actually really nice so I did him a favour when I thoght I was trolling him so there.

Also their Marks and Spencer cider is also good too.

>>5911425
>I'd rather drink a Guinness
Wow, what poor taste

my dad makes extremely good money

he drank milwakees best ice his whole life

pounded 6 16oz within an hour n a half after work every day... idk why

>>5911459
comfort, familiarity, nostalgia and good business acumen
>>5911457
I'm not sure if your saying Guinness is a bad beer or not? If you are, you've played your hand and you're simple minded.

>>5911459
Because his life ended the moment you were born

>>5911497
No, the fact that you'd but both Left Hand and Guinness over Stone is a shamefur dispray.

>>5908941
I'm starting to lean towards Torpedo as well. It used to be Racer 5 was my go to beer, but Torpedo tastes better and being from California, it's consistently cheaper as well.
I like Stone's IPA alot as well but it's more expensive than both. Either way, I'm with >>5909047 because when Celebration comes around that's all I will buy.

>>5907693
people like it because of the smooth flavour and high alcohol content.

>>5908079
>>5906642

Genessee is my go to, but I don't like the Cream Ale as much.

I've defintiely gone to the pilsner style beer over the last 5 years or so. Happy with a Stella or a Becks or a Molson from time to time, but those Gennies sure go down easy, and sure save some cash.

I don't know what I'm gonna do when this disappears but i almost get it by the case every week just in case its the last time

>>5912332
Pic might help

hm

>>5912378
Saw this thread and Shiner was the first thing I thought of.

It's not a super-hip craft beer, but it's a damned good staple to keep around. Their seasonals are great, too - I feel like I missed out on the Hefeweizen this year.

>tfw been to Shiner, TX
>tfw taken tour of brewery
>tfw did this only a few hours after I went shooting at my friend's property just down I-10
>tfw I now have a certificate saying I drank a Shiner in Shiner, TX.

Pretty damn good/

>>5912417
I envy you.

>>5912421
I can't tell you how many times I've considered grabbing all the Kosmos bottles out of various family re-union sixers to make a sixer of Kosmos.

Shit is so damned good.

>>5912378
I like Shiner Premium.

>>5912431
Did you try the prickly pear?

>>5912449
Yea, not too bad. Honestly don't think it's /that/ much better than Bock.

>>5912449
Really?

>>5912461
Didn't have it this year, but yes. Good stuff.

>>5912461
>Yea, not too bad. Honestly don't think it's /that/ much better than Bock.
Shiner Premium was the original flagship before they switched to Bock in the 1980s. It's alright, but it's the reason why most older people don't really like Shiner because they grew up with Shiner Premium.

It ain't bad, but to me it ain't worth buying.

>>5907422
drank this on acid, changed my relationship with beer profoundly

>>5912012

Switchback Ale. Fucking god tier.

>>5907357
Becks is fucking shit, I lived one year in Bremen (Germany, the brewery is there) and its pisswater

>>5906630
Something from sam adam's.
Yes I know its pleb.
No I don't give a fuck.

>>5913416
Sam Adam's puts out decent stuff. It's entry level, but not bad by any means.

I know this isn't what this thread is about but Mikheller is the worst beer I've tasted in my life. Anything by those idiots.

With that out of the way, Bischoff is very nice. A fancypants pub with 50-ish beers on tap has it here (for an exorbitant price, but oh well) and I've no clue about any other place that has it. Very cosy, basic and bitter. Probably nothing like American doppels though I've never had one.

>>5913721

>>5906653
The most basic wheat beer I've ever had. LIterally anything else is superior

>>5913899
Wheat beers are supposed to be complex you dipshit

Six for 3 dollars

I think it's pretty solid to me.

7% alcohol beer that is actually pretty good when cold. The liter bottle costs a little more than a dollar and most bars carry the 500ml at roughly the same price. The reason why i dont remember much of college

>>5913372
praytell, what did you drink while you were there?

>>5907682

>>5906755

Excellent for drinking alone, excellent for drinking with food.

Is there such thing as a good "light" beer?
I think I already know the answer, but I just want to double check.

>>5917615

>>5917761
sorry, forgot to show close-up of can condensation crucial to the conversation.

>>5917769
that alliteration tho

>>5907501
I love stouts, but Young's DC is one I can't really enjoy. It's too one dimensional for me - it just tastes like syrupy chocolate with very little other malt profile; and no hops at all.

>>5917518
You win

>>5906653
Had this a while ago, it was much too sweet for me.

Kloster Scheyern Helles, Mühlen Kölsch, Reissdorf are my favorites to drink all day err' day.

How's Firestone? They started selling them at my local Costco and I'm thinking of picking up a case.

>>5919934
Really tasty and hoppy if that's your thing. Ive had the IPA and the double. Worth it to try for sure imo

Honestly lately i´ve been drain pouring beers that i used to love, hefe weizens for their extreme sulphur tastes and DIPAs with nothing else than bitterness. I´m falling back to moderatly hopped pils and lagers. Especially home brewed ones that still has some hop hit in them!

What's a good brand of brown ale, that you can find in most any store?

Hate most beers, someone recommended brown ale, don't know which brand or whatever to get

>>5922226
Where do you live?

>>5907142

Came in here just to post this shit. Cost for quality is absurd.

>>5907760

For sure, but everyday places tend not to carry it. I can get Butte at most grocery stores here, but Obsidian means a trip to BevMo.

If I'm feeling fancing, Grolsch.

If not, Natural Lite.

Yee

>>5906706
Gonna hit the sparkling hard when I'm back in SA.
>dem 3 for 15 longies

>>5907771
Mightn't be Jaipur I'm thinking of, could have been another pale ale, but it tasted really grassy. I think that could be cascade, though I don't know my hops too well. Wasn't a fan.

HOLY. FUCK. DAT. SMOKE.

>>5906793
I'd do it. Sounds like a... blast.

>>5922399
underrated post

Erdinger Dunkel.

Or Newcastle.

If I could have only one beverage for the rest of my life, either would do.

Edmund Fitzgerald Porter by Great Lakes is the most underrated beers in the world.

One of the cheapest microbrews around. I've seen it for 8-10 bucks a 6 pack in a city where that'll usually get you Corona and Heineken.

>>5922317
California

yeah I went to sleep, if you happen to look back here

Picked it for $7.50 after spending half an hour deciding on a beer.

Shit's good, that's my review.

>>5923663
Picked it up*

Honestly? This. Best-tasting readily available beer to my tastebuds, eh

>>5906630
crabbies for sure

such a pain to get in the US too

>>5922226
I feel like Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale is available in a lot of places

Most widespread brown ale is Newcastle Brown, though you have to get it from the bottle

>>5923842
Thanks for the suggestions man, I'll look for em in stores.

-Bought a stout
-Put it in the fridge
-Pulled one out and had one, very good, no off tasting whatsoever
-Accidentally leave the other 3 out overnight in a cabinet but it didn't seem like they went through a drastic temperature change, pop it back in the fridge
-Have another a few days later and it's ridiculously astringent, very off putting, just basically Starbucks coffee

Did leaving it out over night cause this or what? Is putting it at fridge temps way too cold even if I let it up warm up after taking it out of the fridge? I feel like the whole pack is just ruined now

>>5924915
Would putting a pinch of salt in the beer perhaps take the edge off the astringency?

>>5924926
Were you reading that thread with the guy complaining about coffee being bitter?

>>5924931
Yes, but I have heard of people adding salt to beer before, but I don't imagine it'd be under the same circumstances

what an ipa should taste like

This is a gem. I love these.

>>5906653
I don't even like weißbier but Paulaner is great.
Nothing on Murauer mind you, but still great.

>>5925664

Paulaner isn't even a very good weissbier, it's just the only german one that amerifats know about because they're too busy having a hopping contest to notice shit that normal people actually want to drink

>>5912378
This during the winter and Dos Equis in the summer. Dos is basically lime ice water and I don't mind. When I am doing yard work I just want something mild with a hint of flavor to ease it down.

Kasteel Rouge
Sweet as fuck, but I love it on summer days, great to relax with.

When drinking Pilsner, love me some Hertog Jan. Really solid.

>>5911182
Not that guy, but La Trappe's double, tripel, quadrupel and Isid'or are all very good

I especially love the quadrupel but I'm also really into barleywine beer so that helps.

>>5925719
Of those, I've only seen the quadrupel here, at like £10 for a small bottle, shit sucks. One day I'll go to denmark and have them all cheap as fuck

This is very much a local product, and I doubt anyone outside of the Pittsburgh area would know it, but it has become my everyday goto beer.

>>5925670
It is though. I've tried multiple different weissbiers (american and german) and Paulaner is pretty much my go to for them.

>>5923654
Brekle's brown! It's made by Anchor so it should be available at most of your liquor stores

I loved amber lagers already and being a cincy native I needed hudepohl in my life. Other ambers like mich amberbock and third shift are great too.

When I'm cheaping out it's pbr for me.

If recognizing this as the only winter seasonal worth drinking makes me a pleb then so be it.

>>5906630
I can drink Guinness all day. Or Kilkenny. Those are my go-to macros.

>>5926672
That's some good shit.

>>5926647
Kilkenny I can do, it's full flavoured but feels a bit lighter on the tongue than Guinness. Guinness I start feeling real bloated after a few pints.
I like Euro lagers if I'm just drinking to get drunk, but I'm not going to say that they're great.

Awwww yeeeahh found a spot in the train station that sells pic related.

Waiting for a train after a long days work...

any Spanfags? mostly because it's all they sell in my part of the country

>>5906706
>not coopers stout

>>5927752
Cruzcampo is pisswater. If you want a good spanish beer that is available in all the country try Alhambra 1925

>>5927784

I used to like Mahou when I lived in Madrid. Cruzcampo is horrible.

>>5927784
>>5927790
I don't deny that it is not good beer, it is just one that I often drink. Yes 1925 is better but more expensive

>>5908087
Bump

>>5907261
have you tried La Mc Chouffe???

>>5906630
I work at a brewery and we have a delicious bourbon barrel scotch ale that is around 16% alcohol

>>5907450
Their Oktoberfest seasonal was godly this year.

Matilda Bay Beez Neez, I could fucken drink that all day every day, so tasty. The honey flavour is quite subtle but there and there isn't hops that just bite your tongue off so good.

Though I have the good fortune of living where I can buy it for £1.10 on tap.

>>5925719
>>5925795
Yes, I love those beers. It's amazing and quite cheap as well. They're something along the lines of 1.20 euros per bottle over here.

Another good one: Kwak

>>5907691
>having pleb tier as an option for any beer
You get to use the epic meme but i get to enjoy many more different beers than you. I'd say i have it better.

Later tonight i will drink mohawk brown is the new brown. It should be good because i have had tasty beers from mohawk before but i will return when i have drank it.

>>5929013
I've tried that from a can and the taste was fine but there was barely any bubbles, it would have been better with a bit more.

>>5926223
Solid beer, but if that's actually your opinion on winter seasonals, you probably only drink Blue Moon style macro-brewery seasonal shill.

Even just keeping with big National brands and excluding smaller local breweries, Sierra Nevada Celebration is GOAT winter beer.

>>5929373
Blue Moon isn't terrible.

>>5926068
I'll look for that too, thanks

5% is the highest I could go for a session ale. Old Boy is probably my favourite current session.

>>5908755
Like it, but prefer those ones
>>5929814
;~)

Refreshing, tastes great and pretty much perfect for sessioning.
It just werks.

My beer of choice if I could just have it when I wanted it would be Rolling Rock. It's really different than most of the beers I drink, I almost kind of like it.
Budweiser, Busch, PBR, Yeungling, even ice beers all taste the same to me. Rolling Rock is the same price but is so...smooth? I don't know.

Whatever, it's green so people might mistake me for a hipster drinking a heinekin.

>>5930579
>sessioning

You mean binge drinking, you pretentious tryhard.

On the topic of binge drinking beers, this one is one of my recent favorites..

>>5930598
i like you
but not because of what you drink, that sounds like some obscure shit to me, what is it?

I like you because you tell it like it is, I also call people pretentious tryhards when they're trying hard to be pretentious. No sarcasm.

You're worse than a fucking hipster you faggot

It's a pilsner from (I think) long island. It's super easy drinking but it also tastes good enough that I can tell myself that I'm a high class connoisseur while I'm drinking to get drunk

I like a lot of brooklyn's stuff too. Their oktoberfest is probably my favorite ses^H^H^Hbinge drinking beer.

karbach is god tier compared to saint arnold

I prefer liquid beers, OP. I've yet to have gaseous beer but I've heard good things!

I'm from Missouri, so Stag was basically our bottom-of-the-barrel, drinking on a Tuesday beer.

At the gas station round the corner from our house, it was routinely on sale for the state minimum, which was something like $15 for a 30-pack. Good times, bad hangovers.

Coincidentally, Stag is brewed in Milwaukee, but is only sold in Ozark territory. I had friends up in Milwaukee with apartments in full view of the brewery, but they couldn't buy the beer. I always took some with me whenever I visited, and they'd get excited, even though it's nothing special. Except for the memories.

Also, I cut open a can with a can opener once and it smelled like bait, so there's that.

Session beer is completely different from binge

Session is kicking back and enjoying yourself while watching the game or with the boys, binge is just getting plastered

Why am I getting a very metallic favor from some of my beers? I left them out for a day and now they're all getting these really overpowering metallic tastes and smells, they were completely fine before I left them out

They weren't exposed to light or anything

Bad batch?

What is /mu/s opinion of victoria bitter?
God tier right?

>>5929373
Just bought a sixer of this year's batch hnngghhhh.

For sessionable beers by favorite is Red Chair.

>>5908941
Sierra Nevada is goat budget beer. Good seasonals, solid regular lineup, and delicious bigfoot.

>mfw Bigfoot used to be $9.99 six packs

What are peoples' general opinion of Sam Adam's? I mean their more normal stuff like Boston Lager and Winter Lager, not the unusual stuff like Cherry Wheat. I think it's pretty good, but I'm still pretty new to beer.
>>5908941
I think they sell that where I shop, but I'm not sure how I feel about IPAs. I'll give it a shot.

>>5933083

Boston Lager has a great combination of flavor, availability, and price.

>>5930598
>binge drinking
No, I mean drinking a few in a session and not getting shitfaced.
Binge drinking just implies excessive drinking.

>>5931018
Fuck yeah Red Chair

Anchor Porter. fuck yeah.

Guys what beer should I get tomorrow

No gimmicks, just something good

Anyone ever try Arrogant Bastard Ale? They sell it where I shop, I'll probably pick some up next time I go.

>>5934560
its good but I like stone's IPA more. i dont think ive ever had anything by stone that i didnt like

>>5930667
underrated post

>>5933748
Anything by Sierra Nevada or Founders (more expensive).

Rotate between Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and a host of Belgians

This one. Love it.

>citrus flavor
>cloudy yellow haze

I finally found the time to stock up on beer again.

>>5933083
Sam Adams is great when they aren't trying too hard. Boston Lager, Rebel IPA, and Oktoberfest are all simple, great beers considering you can find them anywhere and none are too expensive. The bad by my house has Rebel tallboy cans for $3 and the other two on draft for about $4 right now, and I can get them at any supermarket nearby. Sometimes when they try to do something a little different it'll work out pretty well (Fat Jack, Barrel Room Collection), but most of the time it feels like they're trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator (Cherry Wheat, Pumpkin Ale), or else it just feels like Sam Adams trying to "prove" themselves by making an exciting, important craft beer (Grumpy Monk, Harvest Saison).

>>5935297
Absolutely fantastic.

>>5935911
Guinness served at all! Piss should just be poured out the sewer straight from the brewery.

I had a dream the other day about a beer called fishbait, dunno what it tasted like cause every time I went to try it I got interupted

I'm a beer snob but I always find myself coming back to this

>>5938556
When I went to vegas from WI, this was the only beer I could drink that was decent for a non-exorbitant fee. That nice dive bar next to Wild Bill's off the strip really hit the spot after not finding a decent cheap beer for days.

>>5938525
I saw Blue Moon on tap at a bar in Australia, had to try it. Was 10 fucking dollars and the barman put a fucking slice of orange in it. wat?

>>5938570
I don't get it, my kangaroo-fucking m9, ...

One of the tastiest IPAs i've had.
