It's a big state. Whereabouts are you visiting? there's a ton of breweries now. Anyway, just go to Publix and you'll see they stock absolutely anything worth having. At the end of the cold beer section, there is typically a build-a-6-pack area to get singles, and some of the imported and the craft beer segregated if it's more unusual or new on the market.
Total Wine & More stores (if you're near one) actually have a separated Florida beer section to get your orange blossom honey or grapefuit sour moods handled. I dont know their actual marketing stance, but they always seem pretty current on the latest trends and ratings and stock that (it seems).
420 sweetwater extra PA is in most restaurants on tap. The one you mentioned, Cigar City, does some good things with coffee and milk/lactose. Their cubano, espresso, and coffee stouts are extremely good and worth a try. They incorporate a lot of exotic citrus too, but if it's not fresh, in a bottle, or ice cold, it can get a little tinny tasting from the can.

This isnt remotely true but ok.

Most IPA's are either a hop bomb or the newer trend adjunct fest trying to taste like either an orange julius or maple bacon whatever the fuck decadent and omnipollo are making. (I like both of these brewers, but we will circle back)

Input stouts have the same shit going for it in that you can make a relatively mediocre beer drinkable with adjunct explosions and a UGE malt bill.

They get good ratings because your_local_brewer can make a highly alcoholic mess that is relatively drinkable and can control the cost by throwing a continental breakfast in garbage that a distillery in the US tends to have a lot of and charging a premium.

It's the same reason fruited kettle sours are everywhere. Everyone wants their local brewer to succeed and hiding faults under a bunch of shit that arguably doesnt belong in a beer is the straight forward way of doing that. Dont get me wrong, people can make non shit product using these methods, but garbage brewers rely heavily upon them.

Flavor depth != complexity or nuance.

Again, it sounds like you're living in 2007 when the market was completely flooded with IPAs to the point that it felt like it was hard to find a good one sometimes. That's not the case anymore, and any decent IPA is going to be well balanced - especially a double or triple, which is what I was referring to when I said "big IPAs".

The ad hominem attack is a great play my man. I'm simply stating that your insistence on calling 2 styles dominated currently by single hop juice cans and prarie dawgs pastry oil is not realy where one looks for fucking complexity and nuance. That coupled with your insistence that a lager or kolsch cant have complexity to it makes me think you dont actually know what the fucking word means and kind of makes you look like an idiot. Just because its subtle doesnt make it less complex and the huge flavors big ipas and most of the imperial stouts on the market dont equal complexity. (Be real mother fucker, what's the last expedition or Marshall zhukov anyone on here opened? It's all people exclaiming their neighborhood double twinkies whiskey rum and tequila aged double imperial stout sinking the ship at 17.5% is the best thing ever.)

Picture is to show I'm not attacking these out of a lack of love and respect, I'm just saying some of the beers in the picture are good because they have a deep balance and some are good because they taste amazingly like a fucking oreo cookie (because they are made with a fuck load of oreo cookies).

I'm stating that much of the shit that is popular is poorly made, and covers that by appealing to the lowest common denominator and whitewashing the mistakes over with candy bars and bourbon barrels (or fruit juice and hops) and tons of booze. Those styles are hard to execute correctly, as shown by some of the tremendous failures that get packaged and sold. My argument is to the moron who is asserting that smaller styles cant have complexity to them and has never had a kolsch other than local brewers first fuck up and never had a lager other than a Pabst.

So tasting good is the lowest common denominator. If anyone could just make top tier NEIPA and BA Stout everyone would, its not that simple.

What specifically? Imperial stouts are inherently deep and complex, and adjuncts and barrel aging often increase that. Now that also does not inherently make them good but beer experts and drinkers alike really tend to like them

More flavor does not always mean better, but watering something down usually makes something less good

Where do you get the idea that any beers are produced by watering down a stronger beer? By your logic the very best of beers have to be +17% or better. Fuck, why are you even in a beer thread at all? Plenty of whiskey threads around, why dont you go shit those up?

Add the water before or after the fermentation, it is still more water in the finished product.

> By your logic the very best of beers have to be +17% or better
Thats a bit of a stretch, but all of the 17% ABV beers I have had have indeed been very good. Now the large, large majority of the best beers I have ever had have been at least 7% ABV (and most of the ones that are not are sours where we have various acids instead of the extra water content)

High water content is the number one marker of a not very interesting beer, because water doesn't taste like much, its the non-water chemicals in beer that give it the flavor and complexity people like, and adding extra water to a recipe just makes those flavors less intense and less noticeable
>If you havent had an imperial stout that pours thin and tastes thin and strongly alcoholic (or any of the tons of off flavors that can easily be created by shitty breweries) then you have either led a charmed life or are taste blind
What are some of the noteworthy offenders? I have had very little trouble with this. Maybe I am just better at buying beer than you but you probably just don't know what you are talking about or trying to prove a point with vague, unsourced complaints

Do you realize how competitive the beer market is now. You can't even get funding for a brewery if you are not an expert at this point. This may have been a problem back in the 90s but it isn't even a thing now, shitty breweries can't even start up anymore, and most of the ones that did exist failed or shaped up. Even my least favorite and most mediocre breweries around today would have been well above average only 10 years ago

Your failure to comprehend the written word makes more sense when paired with your 2nd grade understanding of chemistry. Flavors compounds tend to be measured in the parts per million. I'd also like to point out that a 10 bbl batch of imp stout starts out with exactly the same amount of water as your favorite stout.

Shitty breweries open and close every day and if you think a bank has a tasting board you have no idea how to open a buisness.

Dragons milk (any of the variants especially) and this years willitized stout from lagunitas are this years top disappointments to date.

This is a very good beer for the relatively low cost. Its not as good as many similar beers that cost twice as much, but it is really solid for the price

Some of them yes, but that doesn't really change the point. When you have a base beer that ferments to 4% ABV vs one that ferments to 8% you are going to have roughly double all of the flavor compounds at the expensive of less water. Of course this costs more so legacy brewers are not going to want to do it but a flavor you are perceiving at 100ppm is going to taste roughly twice as intense at 200ppm
>I'd also like to point out that a 10 bbl batch of imp stout starts out with exactly the same amount of water as your favorite stout.
What are you referring to? A imperial stout vs the same base beer with adjuncts? Well kind of if that is the case especially if you are just talking about adding some sort of flavoring syrup,but remember that if we are talking pastry stouts we are probably adding a bunch of sugar too

It is watery shit that is a pale imitation of what they have traditionally made even as recently as last year. Muted flavors and tastes like stale, bitter coffee. The only positive is the bottle format changing from 750's.

Dont defend shit because you heard it was good.

dude re-read your post and realize how embarrassing it is. First of all hops are an adjunct. Beer used to be made without them. Out of the Big 4 ingredients (Water, yeast, hops and malt) hops are the only one that can be removed entirely. Second you are really putting words in the other poster's mouth and fucking IMPLYING. Learn to read and not take criticism as a personal attack on your intellect.
>Have a warped opinion on the current beer scene
Dude who the fuck cares? If I can't find what I want to drink at the store I just brew it myself. It's ok to have a shit opinion, in fact all opinions are shit.

Nah, it just cost more cuz it’s imported. Now if they have Singha where you got that one then it’s game over. Singha is the king of Asian beers. It’s thai. Tiger Beer out of Singapore, super strong 2nd.
