boyfriend brought home some of this. yummy yummy in my tummy tum tums. I'm not a big fan of beer but this stuff is to die for!

but I'm not sure if it's available outside of Colorado, maybe look for a smooth oatmeal stout?

I'm finally opening this to celebrate being finished with college; have had the bottle for like 18 months now.

Budweiser

>>8866299
Should I let it breath for a bit after opening it?

>>8866306
Yeah why not

Milwaukee's best is beer brother.
Freeze jacking to higher alcohol percentages is what makes something qualify as malt liquor instead of beer. They naturally brew it to 6.9%, somehow, but shit like hurricane is freeze jacked and nasty.
This stuff is turning out amazing this year, they have my business until they fuck up like hurricane did and let an employee get piss drunk and vomit on the bottling line, resulting in a human vomit smell on every bottle for months. Or letting beer skunk, which I just told them not to do, while asking for free shit and coupons. It's really worth a try, miller is getting back in the game and cleaning their tanks every batch and putting out really drinkable stuff. I could probably shill for them if it wasn't such a dishonest profession.

This is the second amber beer I've tried and gotta say I'm not a fan of that after taste.

This was p good but it tasted more like wine than beer.
Almost no hop taste whatsoever.

>>8866293
What an absolute shitpost.

How about a beer you can actually enjoy instead of choking down some imperial IPA just to look cultured?

Vitus is the superior choice

I just compared KBS 2016 vs KBS 2017. Im a little drunk these are my tasting notes from each. Keep in mind that the 2016 is a year and 2 months old.

KBS 2016 vs KBS 2017

Chocolate forward on the nose (slight toasted coconut)
Bourboun notes and chocolate
Coffee is not as present
Slightly more alcoholic

Kbs 2017


More coffee forward
More roast
Balanced
Sweetness
Very balanced (coffee, chocolate, bourbon, coconut? )

Both dont have a plum jammy flavour that many imperial stouts have. Slightly artificial tasting but very good overall as they are not offensive on the roast. They are not harsh. Great beer.

finally got my hands on this

cant wait to drink it in 6 months

>>8871007
Is it weird for an ipa to want for the consumer to age it? It would be fun if you could get the same beer 6mos from now and compare a fresh one to the aged one.

>>8871012

i'm not sure if you're familiar with that beer but it's particular and stands out a bit. it's 18% (around there) and it's generally agreed that aging it improves it's flavor 10 fold.

>>8871012

It is weird.

Pretty sure it has to do with the super high gravity. 120 definitely mellows out over time.

>>8866283
what beer is good for a first-timer?
I mean I've had liquor, I've had vodka and rum and tequila and whiskey and bourbon, but I haven't tried beer so far, so what's a good starter? how can I get a small quantity so I'm not throwing away money if I don't like what I bought?

>>8871023

Sierra Nevada pale ale is a good starter. You can get 6 packs or buy a 24 oz bottle. Post how you like it in one of these threads for further suggestions.

mac's black porter - pretty bloody tasty.

just a 6-pack because i'm with the lady and i have to pretend to not want to get bladdered.

>>8871018
>>8871020

I have heard of the brewery, but for some reason I have never picked up a a product from dogfish head. I was not aware the beer is 18% abv. That is crazy. Have you tried one fresh? If so is the hop way more forward. Btw i. The guy who just compared the 2 kbs so i am still slightly drunk.

>>8871026

While SN is a solid run of the mill choice, it's probably going to come off as too bitter for a first timer.

>>8866283

>>8871033

I've never had it but I'm told fresh it is pretty harsh as the alcohol taste is very up front, but with age it matures really nicely and a lot of the hoppiness starts to override the sweetness of it.

>>8871037

>the wisconsin cheddar of beers

green Buddha beer

>>8871038
Interesting as i would have thought that the hoppiness would have been toned down with age.

Many ipas, which are hop forward, boast to drink the beer fresh and not age it.

4loko gold.
>>mfw when drinking in my car up my street so my family thinks in taking the night off from drinking

>>8871047

Generic Asian adjunct lager that has nothing going for it other than a gimmicky bottle.

Shiner Bock and Lone Star

>>8871053
I tried to drink one of those earlier and got maybe 1/5 through, was gross as fuck. Wasn't expecting it to taste like a dollar store energy drink

>>8866283
I can't drink tonight, I've just had surgery. So I'm sticking to a non-alcoholic apple cider.

it's very subtle compared to most scotch ales, doesn't taste like it's made of whiskey barrels like most do

>>8871065
Its just saying fuck it. Took me about 10 minutes to down it. But I ate fries then chugged. Honeslty just wanted to get that feeling fast and forget my sad life if not tolerate it for a bit

It's alright. A bit heavier on the malt than I would have liked, but it's fine.

>>8870070
Vitus is so fuckin' good.

>>8871065
>implying dollar store energy drinks aren't great

>>8871316

Do you like their regular IPA? Thats pretty good. I didnt know they had this.

Fresh IPA night tonight! Really liked this one!

>>8866283
I am currently enjoying a 3 floyds Zombie Dust. Delicious.

Never had as much floaties in any beer before! Looks nasty as fuck, still the taste is alright, not as good as the pale ale though.

>>8871007
I was about to get it but I passed on this garbage.

Enjoyed this with my partner tonight.
Best sour I've had.

Currently drinking a 4 pack of a killer local NE IPA. Picture courtesy of a terrible local newspaper.

>>8866283
Icy cold BOTTLES of Heineken.

>>8866368
those are okay

Yuengling is the best cheap beer.

Full, distinct, but not overbearing flavor.

Better than the last one, but the Pale ale takes the prize still.

>>8873255

are you from sd by any chance? i've never seen mik. outside of town

btw their shapes is really good if you're into white ale

>>8873675

*blonde ale whoops

>>8873675
Not from San Diego at all, they ship some parts of these beers to denmark and sell it there so that is where i get it!

Had this lager after all that juice!

Today's haul

Busch light in the can

>>8866298
fuck yes brett IPA good choice. Never tried that one tho, as I'm not a fan of stone.
>>8866594
That's a very ugly cup
>>8868267
That's a very good looking cup. Interesting, I've been wanting to try anchor's blackberry IPA, I've only tried one fruit beer and it was alright.
>>8871018
definitely gotta try this
>>8871088

>trying to start conversation in a thread
y so bitter anon, also Sleemans Draught>>>>Yuengling you fag

>>8874229
You responded to me 3 times there.

Not a bad haul, if I do say so. The IPA is Maplewood's first canned release of Son of Juice. It's 6 days old. The cider is sweet for my taste but the combination of lemon, basil, and apples is wonderful. The Dragon's Milk Reserve series continues to knock it out of the park. My favorite is still the coconut rum barrel, though.

>>8866283
Drinking can after can of bud light because my boss gave me two cases of the stuff.

have I been memed /ck/? I bought a 4 pack (46 burgerdollars thank you very much), had one with dinner, it was good but probably not 12$ good.

>>8874437
dude why

the 90 minute is good enough

>>8874443
funnily I didn't see the 90 minute at the store. I know it's on tap at a few places around town though

I'll probably take the advice upthread and age it for a bit

>>8868267

Yuengling, just got off a double at my delivery job

>>8874236

>ignores my favourite beer, Yuengling

Are you serious?

>>8874437

120 is overhyped as fuck, and the price reflects that, especially considering that you're supposed to cellar it - which takes up even more space/money.

Still a good beer; just not something a lot of people want to wait a year or two to drink for what they charge.

As much as I like beer and spend way too much money on it, I'm well aware that that trend is fucking up the industry.

>at least I've never waited in line for a limited release

This shit's just great.

>>8874903
It can be fun to get in on a limited release, if only for the people you can meet. Then again, I avoid the big ones and only really go for the smaller local ones. You can find yourself drinking with the brewers and having a nice relaxed time.

>>8866283
Stella.

Get yourself some Oberon

>>8871007
a shit.

Can't decide what to pair with some pork chops and asparagus tonight beer bros. I have a Russian imperial stout, a German dark lager, a Tripel, and a Rochefort 8. I also have a can left of a really light delicious Gose but it's cold and rainy so I'm ruling it out until it warms up again. I might do the German dark lager and have the imp stout for dessert but that might fuck me up.

>>8873255
haha in a video the Mikkeller dude claimed he wants to make cloudy beers because that's what's "in" at the moment. This is just over the top, looks like orange juice with pulp.
>>8873392
yum I wish I had access to more sours

>>8868267
>stain your lips core

>>8878240
pork chops and dark lager

>>8878240

That's a really nice pour on that stout. Almost looks like nitro.

>stout with bourbon barrel-aged coffee
A buddy of mine got it for me because he knows I like stouts, but that description didn't make it sound too appetizing.

It's a fantastic beer, though.

>>8879334

Modern Times fucking kills it.

I moved to NorCal last year, and despite having one of the most booming beer scenes in the country right now, SD still blows us out of the water.

>>8879358
My main problem with craft beer on the west coast is that we're still not over fucking IPAs. Nowadays, there are enough breweries that I could find something I enjoy, but when I lived in San Diego about ten years ago, it was almost exclusively IPAs. Although, when I lived there I was able to get Stone's Chipotle Smoked Porter, which they don't seem to have outside of southern California.

>>8879374

I totally get that, but I'm admittedly an IPA drinker - double, triple quad... That's usually what I'll order, so despite whatever animosity I had towards Californians is canceled out by the amazing beer selection.

Hop forward beers are still super popular, but ubiquitous shitty ones have kind of been fazed awhile ago; now most IPA's that you find on tap are the top of the top, and the new fad is sours, which can be hit or miss, since the market is saturated.

>>8879390
Yeah, but a "top of the top" IPA still tastes like a skunked regular beer.

I turned 21 on Thursday, and only had my first drink now. Mike's Harder lemonade, and Melon Liqueur. I don't think drinking is for me though it all tastes like medicine.

>>8879393

It's only "skunked" because you're a flyover who only has access to expired garbage.

A fresh IPA tastes floral and balanced.

>>8866333
Should I give this a try if I want cheap stuff to get wasted on?

I've been usually downing an olde english and a few beers when I've been getting drunk recently. I try to change up the cheap booze every now and again so I don't have an adverse reaction to drinking it.

I used to only drink natty daddy and it ruined my taste for beer for about a month after I stopped. That shit was gross.

>>8879518
What you like mixed the two?

I don't really go for that sweetened malt liquor stuff much though. Alcohol doesn't taste so amazing at first, you have to acquire a taste for it/get used to it.

When I first started drinking, I just did my best to power down my booze and it got easier from there. However I still can't take a shot of hard liquor straight. Drinking is pretty awesome but if you don't get into it you'll probably end up doing yourself a favor.

Coffee. 38 days sober. The most since I started drinking 20 years ago.

If you drink beer from a green bottle you need to toss yourself in front of a moving train please. Thanks in advance.

>>8879605
Never ever try to get wasted with beer
You better eat borax instead if you want same effect

>>8871057

>>8871057

>>8879619
What if it's saison dupont? Or cantillon?

>>8879605
Try just one, like I said I was raving about it two days ago but yesterday I bought a skunk and was extremely disappointed and gagging.
I'll buy more in 20 minutes and let you know if they're still in good standing, the fucking asinine stock boy probably just dropped my beer so I'm giving it another shot.

>>8879728
Nope they're shit again. I got three of them too.

Fucking beer manufacturers need to clean their tanks between runs.

hey /ck/

I'm looking for a series of comic strips that were posted a while back.

It's called 'The Ale Heads' or something and it's about three old guys who go to different English pubs to try ale and they get into stupid situations.

I think one strip was when they go to a pub that only serves lager and they have no idea what it is.

I'm looking for it because the main character looked like someone who was in the craft beer bar I work in the other day.

>>8880572
It's called Real Ale Twats from Viz magazine

>>8880578
thanks a ton senpai

>>8880589
Which one is your bar guy?

>>8866283
Recently had a Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel. Drank it out of a gold-rimmed chalice a lot fancier than pic related.

Damn, that was a good beer. I wish I'd discovered the bar that served it earlier.

>>8880640
Damn, forgot my pic.

cheap swill to numb the pain of failing

>>8879271
That stout is a Canadian bourbon barrel that costs around 20 bucks. You can get loads of good American bourbon barrel stouts for much less. Central Waters, Wild Onion, Schlafly, and whatever local brewery you have near you probably does a good one these days.

>>8880928
Oh fuck, the whole point of my post was to say it was overpriced and that, yes, it has a good body (close to syrupy but not too bad), but it's nothing special. Not worth 20 bucks.

>>8879251
had that then the imp stout with banana bread, worked really well on a rainy night and the german dark lager was quite surprisingly good
>>8879271
I've only had one nitro (left hand) and the pour was much more thick, frothy and beautiful. I've had both in the pic and they just give a small mocha cap, kind of underwhelming.

>>8880928
>>8880963
I agree with you. I haven't bought a bottle of the Kentucky but I had it on Tap, at 15.95 it's quite pricey. Last night I had the Bolshevik (4.50), the Kentucky is better from what I remember of the small expensive glass I was served. The Bolshevik does have a nice syrupy mouthfeel and good chocolate notes, but the alcohol is not well hidden at all and it's feel quite bitter even though other imp stouts have a similar IBU, maybe it's a bit thin. The worst part is it has a weird herbal, vegetal green pepper aroma which I dislike.

The stout offerings from Dieu du Ciel are cheaper and infinitely better.

>>8884088
Is this good? I've wanted to try it but always got distracted by the Rocheforte 10 right next to it.

>>8884104
Yeah, it was pretty good. Almost no head or carbonation but I'm pretty sure that's the point. This is supposed to be very similar to beer and ale they drank during the war of 1812

>>8871036
Just drank my first SN last night, it was pretty good

>>8866283

>>8884466
Good stuff!

Does ice ruin beer? I don't have a mini fridge and my roommates steal good beer if I leave it in the fridge.

>>8884661
Buy a small cooler and fill it with ice. Let the beer sit in there for an hour. Then drink it. Don't ever put ice in your beer.

Had to have a couple of recent finds tonight just becouse of freshness!

Had all the Stigbergets IPAs and loved all of them, heard great things about Lervigs latest stuff.

This one is a joint brew by them and it is pretty nice. Wish it had a bit more body but being a pale ale on 5,6abv i understand the limits of the style. Very refreshing though, and easydrinking. Wish i had 2 or o3 of these to slam down this summer while mowing the lawn (Takes about 2 hours to mow it all!).

>>8866283
I'm completely hooked on this shit.

I like my sours reasonably fresh. This one was very nice for one with no real fruit added to the process!

nice can of vitamin T straight from the back of the fridge, unreal

Luckily enough I'm spending my Erasmus in Belgium, which means I can get myself some decent beer on the cheap for a change.

Tonight it's probably going to be Grimbergen Optimo Bruno, then an oaked Cornet, then a "brewmaster" Gulden Draak (which, to me, looks like a shitty rip-off but the gf wanted it so let's try it, I guess), then a Bush, then a nice, normal Gulden Draak. After that, it's probably going to be whatever catches my attention at the pub when I go out.

No. Get cheap canadian whisky/bourbon to get you drunk that then a couple tall boys of decent beer to sip once you're drunk.

>>8870030
The closest beer I found that tastes similar to that is this.
God I miss Germany

>>8888827
Nope. Granted, I could just be in the same pleb boat as you but founders is pretty consistently pretty damn good.

>>8888827
Naa that's a really solid ipa. Decently priced and you can drink 4 or 5 of them instead of just two of the higher abv ones. Best for yard work if I don't want a Coors.

here it's Hacker-Pschorr. I've maybe seen Paulaner 2-3 times at a bar but Hacker-Pschorr is served at all but the most shit places.

Tastes like pure honey. Really strong dark honey flavor. Great if you're looking for something sweet or for someone who doesn't like beer.

Anyone else tried this?

>>8892193
I haven't tried this, but where I live, there is a beer called Honey Brown. It also has honey in it, and it tastes pretty damn good.

>>8870030
I have a bottle of Weihenstephaner original sitting in my fridge. I'm excited to crack it open

>>8892193
not that bad for a honey lager, but much too sweet for me. honey beer is fairly popular here for some reason
baltic porters are the real deal when it comes to polish beer anyway

I've been on Beer Advocate a lot lately, and it seems like every last one of their top rated beers are stouts or double IPAs, with some Trappist ales. Why? Also, what's a good double IPA that I can actually get at a regular store like BevMo or Total Wine? All of the ones on BA seem to be crazy rare, expensive, unavailable outside of a shitty little radius, only brewed once, etc.

I haven't been drinking very long, but pic related is my favorite so far

What do you guys think of Bud Light Radler? I just saw it at the liquor store for the first time today.

What's wrong with single IPA? Do you really need 3 times more IPA-ness?

doing a solid Hoptimum > Gose to Hollywood > Hoptimum night. on the gose now.

>1.2 standard drinks
So a standard drink is fucking LIGHT BEER? I guess I'm a binge drinker, since an IPA is like 2 "standard" beers

>>8896102
I don't trust any beer that comes in a clear bottle, or anything that emphasizes being served cold. I'll drink my beer at whatever fucking temperature I want.

>>8896188
Honestly i've bought a shitton of this and i've only had a couple skunked ones.
I think it's pretty comfy

>>8896102
complete garbage

>>8896102
Not even the brits drink newky brown these days. I'm hesitant to learn what it tastes like shipped across the atlantic in clear bottles.

>>8895630

The problem most people have with IPAs is the hops, and doubles, triples, etc., add extra malts to balance out the hops, which means big, complex beers that you can sip almost like a wine.

Plus the higher abv.

>>8896286
is it really complete garbage? I drink this shit all day and i really enjoy it. To be honest, it might only be good in comparison to all the natty light people drink in this college town lmao

>>8896410
At the end of the day, if you like it, drink it. Try new things sometimes, but if you really, truly enjoy it there's no reason to avoid it.

>>8896188

>22 ounces BEER for you

>>8897160

Good choice anon.

Ok, I am 18 (American) and have a question about alcohol. Does pouring it into a glass really make it that much better? Does it enhance the flavor? Or, is it just considered trashy to drink anything straight from the bottle/can that isn't plebeian garbage?

>>8897711

Some beers and wine benefit from oyxgen exposure, or at least that's what all my metrolumberjacksexual friends say.

Some beers especially unfiltered wheats leave a layer of sediment and pouring it distributes the sediment evenly, again that's what my hipstercraftmeister friends say.

Gonna try and get my hands on some of the new Cloudwater DIPA tonight oi oii

>>8897711
Smell is where most of your taste comes from and a glass allows better access to the nose. Also like the other guy said, oxidation. I also find that bottle caps can leave a metallic taste on the lip

>>8877912
Excellent choice mate
Definitely one of my favourite bitters, admittedly most of them are just a bit shit.
I've always wanted to try 1845 too.

So with a lot of the nice drinks posted ITT, what would people think if I were to just drink them out of the botte?

>>8898001

Unless you're a fart sniffing hipster of the condescending caliber wanting to put on airs in front of your peers, do what you're comfortable with.

I mean, some beers taste better when they're poured but don't go thinking you're missing out on some mystical adventure because you sip from the bottle.

>>8898001
I would wonder why you paid a premium price for something and not try to enjoy it to it's fullest, but it's ultimately your money and choice.

Test

>>8898001

It'd be a waste.

How much fucking effort is it to pour it into a glass?

>>8898016
>>8898019
Alright thanks for the answers.
>>8898184
It's a big effort
for me.

Don't forget to stop by your local monsanto lobbiest on your way home from church, after throwing back half a case of natty ice.

>>8898099
Why do I see this "test" posted periodically? Why not just post some inane comment like most posts to see if it worked?

>>8898235

How convenient, you skipped over the part I green texted. Go readie readie a bookie goo goo bah bah for makie a smart smart in your braybrain

My nearest convenience store had a 47% discount on Heineken

What do I eat with it?

>>8898254

>you skipped over the part I green texted

No. I covered that in the "meaningful relationships" part.

Maybe when you find someone who cares about you other than your mom you'll understand being goofy about shit. No reason to spread your bitterness just because nobody loves you, anon.

>>8898263
A banquet microwave dinner would pair nicely, or maybe you could pick up some roadkill off the side of the road and eat that. Half off is a hell of a deal though

>>8898263
Eat raw uncured weed, drink cat piss and form spinach into a burger, deep fry it and scrape the stuff off the bottom of your shoes for seasoning.
These things should complement the flavor of your Heineken.

>>8898272

I'm not that experienced with drinking, but holy moly Blueberry Pale Ale has me hooked. 8/10

some heinekens and some canned IPAs from wherever the fuck.

>>8866283
Company I work for shorted my check so all I'm drinking is coors.

>>8888952

The only one who speaks.

He wasn't nearly as obnoxious and didn't have a beret. His ponytail made up for the beret though.

Anything. Going on a pub crawl with a bunch of friends. Should be quaint

Found one of these, it was excellent

>>8866283

God damn I love Wisconsin

>>8903229
What does this taste like?

>>8903275
Mud.
Not quite as sweet as your everyday porter. I dont really have plette that can bring out details

Once again, I am having a bottle of Honey Brown.

any ausfags in? highly rec these beers. 4.2% abv and 30 bucks for a 24 pack (that's very cheap in aus, no other beer this tasty at that price point).

>>8903368
Beer is insanely expensive in Australia

>>8903368
Yeah. Not a fan of Coopers, although I'm sure this is a lot better than anything else at that price.

>>8903229
Central waters rules. I'm also really fond of Rush River's double bubble and their pale ale.

>>8903368
what state you in? I'm in QLD and have never seen those

>>8903874
scratch that, apparently man durphy's has them so I'll pick them up next time

A bit boozy but still really good

>>8903910
I would grow, care for, provide water and sunlight for hops...
But I mistakenly bought a single 12oz IPA, took one tiny sip, threw it out and renounced them.

>>8903919
that sucks, you should give them another try

>>8898205
Dude, you dong want to see the kind of shit /pol9k/ posts if that little bit offends you.

I'm having some QC Haze IPA from Bent River. It's ok. I wish I opened my North Coast cherry weisse instead. Bent River is just ok.

>>8903920
I don't believe you even though it was German beer.

>>8901366
Disgusting. I don't know how you can like that garbage. But hey, no accounting for taste. Enjoy it if you like it, but maybe you should try some real cider. A dry blueberry cider would probably be up your alley. There's some really good ones out these days.

>>8903874
NSW, found @ dan murphys

>>8903770
yeah not my favourite but as you said they're way better than any other case for that money

>>8903924
well there was your mistake non American IPAs suck

I just bought a six pack of these, pretty good but just taste like a generic American IPA.

Cost 30 dollarydoos here in Australia but I just had a win on the pokies so thought I'd treat myself.

>>8866283

>aging an ipa
Nigga

>>8904222

The high abv of 120 preserves the hop flavor, and it mellows out over time.

It's not exactly a normal IPA.

>tfw ever store near me carries my favorite ipa but it's relatively unknown in the are, so there's little turn over and all the bottles on the shelf are expired as fuck, unless you get lucky and go in right after they get in a new shipment

Trying one of these, it's pretty drinkable. Anyone know any fun brewery tours in southwest Ontario? Only places I've been so far is Steamwhistle and the Amsterdam brewery.

>>8888827
i havent really been into ipa's for a while but that one was quite refreshing

Paco and Pablo get triggered when you point out Mexico's entire beer brewing culture came out of the reign of the Austrian Maximillian I. Before that, the closest Mexico had to beer was the putrid drink "pulque."

Stay butthurt Pablo.

Went to 3 Fonteinen today and had the Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston. One of the best geuzes I ever had

>>8906052

>>8905941
Debatable

Can anyone recommend me somthing that is similar to guinness or what a guinness drinker would also enjoy? I like most beers I try but nothing ever seems to come close.

>>8906223
Any stout on nitro

>>8905707
the best beer you can reliably find in Mexican restaurants, but thats not saying much

I need to buy more beer for not-aging.

>>8907907
What the fuck is in the fourth can?

Vaporwave.

>>8904281
Burdock's great. That's about all I know being from Vancouver.

>>8907922
Twin Sails, from Port Moody, British Columbia.

So im pretty new to drinking and iv just been drinking this. Whats everyone's thoughts? It doesn't even taste like a beer to me its just like a good ass soda.

>>8908049
Wouldn't call it beer. Liked it when I had it. Bit sweet for me though.
