I haven't had shock top, but if seems up the same alley that Blue Moon is, and that just tastes like soapy malt water to me.

>>6312512
Lol. I haven't had Blue Moon, so I can't speak to that. I'd say that you should try their raspberry wheat. Shit's pretty good. Wouldn't describe it as soapy or watered down. Though, technically, it is a malt. I think.

Middle of the week haul! Going to cellar the bombers though!

>>6312773
Very nice, anon. I'm a little jealous, I've gotta say.

Enjoy your clap, plebeian.

shock top is total dogshit beer mate, sorry. if you like it, good for you, keep enjoying it. but myself, and the other beer snobs here, will never want to drink a bunch of shocktops. I've had a few, including two of the one you posted, it was not disgusting by any means, but once you've had some really really good beer you won't have much interest in drinking something as blah as a shocktop. anyway not trying to be a dick, but you might get some hate on this board.

>>6312825
I´m confused here, what exactly do you perceive as neckbeard/fedora in this collection of beers?

>>6312512
>soapy malt water

Agreed about the Blue Moon and the (regular) Shock-Top, but I do like Sam Adams Summer Special.

My go-to beers are Bell's Two Hearted and Oberon.

>>6312861
>fedoras don't jerk off to obscure shitty craft beers and pretend to know what they're talking about.
Are you new to this planet?

>>6312773
my old man has BCS in the cellar from 2011-present, he thinks it's much better after a year in the cellar, something to consider if that's the only one you got.

>>6312865

>hey guys, just posting a picture of some beers that i bought
>lol nice 1 fedora faggot akekekek enjoy ur circlejerk :^^^)

theres a point where you're just a meme spouting retard

>>6312825
why is your pic wearing a tyrolean hat ?
Did you mistake it for a fedora ?
Are you this ignorant?
Do you understand memes?
Are you a newfag?
Have you just been schooled?
>guilty as charged

>>6312860
Fair enough. Yeah it's alright, man. I really was just looking for some feedback. Admittedly, I don't know too much about beer. Shock Top has always just been a staple of my inventory. I enjoy most of their brews. Not all. Like I pointed out in the OP, the shit I'm drinking at the moment really doesn't do it for me. Anyway. What would you recommend in the way of really good beer? I'm open to suggestions.

>>6312869
Stop the fedoring on my board and I'll stop posting truths that hurt your feelings

>>6312773
I'm pretty sure that clear bottle in the back has gotten skunky

>>6312867
I foresaw this and got two of them, had the one i was going to drink tonight and it does seem it has alot to gain from some of the bitterness and alcohol to settle down. Nice Imperial still though, would pick up again!

>>6312881
When i take a zip from that bottle it means i´m ready for bed, will wake up with a steady stream of zuds running from nose and mouth!

>>6312873
Personally, I like wheat beer. You'll have to find a local shop that sells craft beers, and just take a look, maybe ask someone to help you on what to choose. I'll list some stuff, but craft beer can be a very regional thing. Another thing to consider is that everyone's tastes are different, so you gotta find your own, there is A LOT out there.

Troegs Dreamweaver
Lonerider Shotgun Betty
Flying Dog In Heat Wheat
Magic Hat Circus Boy
UFO Hefeweizen

German breweries, most stuff is excellent, if it is somewhat fresh:
Weihenstephaner
Franziskaner
Hacker-Pschorr
Schneider

all this is just one style of beer (the Germans make a lot more than one style), and who knows you might HATE this style of beer. A store with a single or mix n' match option would be great for you to try a lot of stuff out and see what you're into.

>>6312911
I've heard of a few of those actually including that hefeweizen you mentioned. I happen to be German-American, so I have some knowledge of German breweries. My cousin brews his own beer and always let's me have a case or two. Shit's awesome. Anyway. Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be sure to check them out!

>>6312773
Posting the last couple of drinking sessions collections as well to boost the thread, bring on the hate!

>>6312399
Drinking the best beer ever, 100 proof vodka.

Had an Almanac Cerise Sour Blonde for the first time.
Not a big beer guy, prefer cider, but DAMN. fucking delicious.

Tart and dry, feels nice in your mouth. no hop flavor, and the slight aftertaste of the cherries they put in there.

Too bad i paid like 8 dollars for a 12oz bottle.

>>6312973

>>6312973
Do you homebrew?

>>6313006
what's the point of taking/sharing pictures if you're going to just hide the labels behind other beers?

>>6313007
i do, only got a couple of what i deem good ones under my belt though. Still one of them is still the top double ipa for me so i guess it´s sort of good (can´t get heady or pliny here so i don´t know how it compares!)

>>6313027
got some pics of your setup?

>>6313010
Just putting them up there for a quick cellphone photo, composition of the whole deal is secondary and lost i guess. Some autist actually hunted down all the beers from this particular photo last week, well he did miss the esb in the back right.

>>6313036
>taking pictures of unopened beer bottles to grow epeen
>calling someone an autist

>>6313042
>sharing pictures of things you enjoy on an imageboard
what a retard, right?

>>6313048
Well, yes, that was the point.

>>6313034
Only some of the MLT, using an Bielmeier stainless for the boil and Betterbottle for fermentation.

4 gallon batch of cider finally started to bubble in the airlock but it took like ~40 hours

grabbed a gallon jug and another stopper and airlock to start another small batch, gonna try adding raspberries to this one

Today was my day off and I picked up a 6 pack of this. Growing up in south Louisiana everyone loves Abita but this is really one of three brews I like from them.

>>6313085

>>6313085
>>6313089
Oh, nice. I have an aunt who lives down south. She loves that stuff.

I finally decided to try some sours that have been recommended to me. I've tried American farmhouse and berliner weisse sours in the past, but never these popular Belgian conditioned sours.

Is it possible to into beer if you just don't enjoy bitter things?

>>6313594
Absolutely! Most are going to have at least some amount of bitterness, but less than others. Some breweries indicate the beer's IBU, which is basically a numerical estimation of how bitter a beer is. If the provider doesn't have it, you can look up the beer on beeradvocate. If you look for beers with low IBUs, you'll probably find something you like.

>>6312973
+Rochefort

>>6313281
My nigga. Just picked one up for the first time. Pic related, this week's haul.

>>6314360

fullers vintage ale is superb, as are nearly all fullers ales.

Sad Vet here. Cant drink my dark malty brews anymore, and am stuck with only fruit ales because they dont trigger my migraines. So far there is far too much apple ales right now.

>>6313089
That and their Bourbon barrel stout are the only decent things Abitas has ever made.

>>6312773
Never seen that Bridge IPA before.
Which Systembolag (assume systembolag)?

Amarillo is one of my favorites. Oppigård might be one of my top Swedish breweries.

schneider weisse is some dank shit but schneider aventinus might be my favorite beer in the world

>>6312399

I was thinking about picking shock top honeycrisp up. Might grab a six'er next round. I had their chocolate wheat winter brew and I'm addicted to it. I'd probably hoard it if I had the funds. I tried other chocolate beers, but nothing compares.

Currently have a Ciderboys Mad Bark and a coffee oatmeal brown ale by free will for this weekend.

>>6313281
>>6314360
Petrus is one of the best sours you can find anywhere

>>6313053
>koke zerou
Confirmed of not having taste buds.
Fuck off you filthy peasant and get stuffed with you uhrrr dhurrr micro/pico/edgy brews

Post dem shandies

>>6312863
God damn I love Oberon in the summer.

>>6315712
Leinenkugels always has an artificial taste to almost every beer they put out. Those shandies get sickening too.

>>6315725
Oberon is based

>all these plens drinking "beer" with fruit flavouring added

What the fuck is wrong with you all drink a cider or something beer isn't for you.

beers you should try sometime

1/6

2/6

3/6

4/6

5/6

I'm all about Unibroue beers. Éphémère apple and La Fin Du Monde are fucking delicious.

Shock Top is also p good, but I prefer my Québécois beers all day every day.

6/6

and with that, those are my favorite beers.

>>6316217
This is the only thing I get from Rogue anymore.

>>6313281
If you like that, try the Duchess de Bourgnone. It's a little sweeter than the Petrus, but also God tier sour bier.

>>6312399
>Have local bar down the street from me that changes beer every week

And apparently it was the second time this week a keg exploded there

>>6312877
Back to /b/ faggot you're not needed or wanted here.

>>6315786
So beer should be water, barley, hops?

I like my beer dark like my woman

>>6316651
and my metal

>>6316629
REINHEITSGEBOT OR DEATH.

Fruity stuff can be done, but just adding an artificial flavoring is the wrong way to do it.

what should i try today?

>>6318255
Left Hand Milk Stout Longmont.

>>6318294
tried that one already.
they even sell those here at grocery stores.

>>6318255
>>6318299
Shit. Well how do you like it? Nice digits, by the way.

>>6318303
it's pretty good. my favorite stout.

I have one last bottle of Allagash Black to deal with today, highly recommended if you like stouts.

>>6318436
>G'Knight

Great great beer

Getting drunk at a party with pic related and a rochefort 10. Five beers should be enough. If all else fails i'm pretty sure they'll have rhum.

Drinking these tonight. Cracked open the Dubbel a few minutes ago, I'll post a picture with my thoughts.

>>6312399
got a 12 pack of Killian's Red at home. going out to a brewery tonight for Barley Wine though.

I am in the mood for some Belgian beer but I don't have the money for it, so I am going to pick up some Allagash later. I am thinking the dubbel, the tripple, and maybe their Black. I had a stout with Belgian yeast and candi sugar before and I remember liking it.

>>6318559
If you like porters, try Ballast's victory at sea. Its fantastic.

Here it is with my steak and mountain of corn. It's a dark red color with a huge head that runs over the top. Carbonation is almost budweiser level. So far, pretty unexpected for a dubbel.

Tastes of prunes, raisins, and stone fruit. Nothing citrusy about this one for me - think a yeasty troegenator. The yeast on the finish can be too much for me, almost making a metallic taste. Cinnamon, coriander (?), and brown sugar accented the fruity yeast and made it a good pairing for my dinner. Almost no taste of alcohol, which makes sense for the 7% and spiced flavor.

Overall, 7/10. Enjoyed it, but would not buy again at the $4.50 a bottle price point.

>>6318583
I'll try it next time. I wanted to try something new and exciting. It was actually between the spiced porter and rogue's sriracha whatever.

Dear god I loved Shock Top back in the states.
>tfw no Shock Top here in Switzerland.

What I'm having tonight. It's quite tasty!

>>6318644
bro I bet there's a beer in Switzerland that is like Shock Top but waaaaaay better

I'm from wisconsin, so i've got plenty of good micro brews to choose from. Ale Asylum is slowly becoming one of my favorites, not sure what their national exposure is at this point

Victory's Hop Ranch. It's no Hop Wallop, but it's better than Dirtwolf (which is a good beer but still fails in comparison to Hop Wallop)

Literally Reddit: The Beer

>>6319910
the alcohol is way too noticeable and the bourbon aging completely overtakes the stout flavors.
Doing BA beer is all good and fun. Makes some great stuff. Dragon's milk is like trying way too hard to do something and not doing it right.

>>6318255

>kwak bier
>9$

JESUS CHRIST.

It's 1.90 euros here. Granted it's in a store and I'm in the Netherlands but still. I can get that stuff in a bar for 3.50


Get it anyways tho, its breddy gud.

>tfw I have a cold
>tfw I can't taste anything
>tfw I might as well be drinking lukewarm heinikens

Kill me now

>>6312399
Shock tops are a guilty pleasure of mine. I personally prefer something a little darker like pic related.

>>6313281
I got that last weekend

>>6314360
The marzen is on my to-get list next time I'm buying

>>6312973
How much was the rochefort 10? It's £5.50 here in bongland, seems steep even for what it is

>>6318436
>blended beer
wat

>>6315428
It is an limited release beer that came out last week.

>>6312399

>>6322060

>>6314360

You got that at the LCBO , enjoy that Petrus while you can they discontinued it bruh.

>>6318255

Kwak on draft...oh god i hate you.

what beer goes best with pep 'za?

>>6322651
a six pack

>>6322651
Lagers.

If i have a dark beer with pizza it gives me bad heart burn.

Drinking a fine dark ale. Darker the better. Stout is Jesus; Porter is God.
