Leffe is utter shit. Pic related is top tier.
Kronenbourg (France) is perfectly acceptable.
Heineken tries their best to make good beer lately.
Pierre Celis' company makes great white beer in the US.
Birra del Borgo (Italy) is top.

Red ales are great too, but I cant recommend sour reds, those are best for cooking only, not drinking.
Stouts and porters are my favorites. There was this one hipstery stout I had several times that was, like, 12-14% that was a very spiced chocolate sort of deal that particularly great.
Breakfast stout/porter is also good for just that.

No, pale malt existed before. The problem was that it was air dried, which took longer and molding was a bigger issue, so it was more expensive and time consuming.
Kilning or smoking was the faster and more shelf stable variant.
Industrialization just made making pale malts and lagers possible on a larger scale and not dependend on season anymore.

I found I can drink entire bottles of cream-based liquors. Rum Chata, Blue Chair Bay, Ole Smokey/Sugarlands, Baileys.
Would highly recommend keeping two balanced flavored cream liqueurs in the fridge for the morning, or for a balanced way to get a girl loose without getting her smashed. Idk.

When you live to eat you can enjoy everything in a new way, and you can begin facilitating nicer, different things into all new ways that are a part of your life rather than a necessity. I'd never marry a girl who couldn't learn to enjoy something radically different like a trappist or marzen, on merit alone or as a basis for something that means more, because you've made it mean more than just what is alone.

Roasted barley, pine needles, and grapefruit; what a winning flavor combo! I guarantee every single IPA drinker never grabs a grapefruit at the grocery store because it's the worst fruit.

As I said before, Bayerischer Bahnhof Gose isn't offensive in its taste. That's why I'd rather drink it straight than mixed if I feel like drinking a Gose. Most beers taste the same if you mix them with Soda (or syrup) desu. Pic rel is their menue

Who /homebrews/ here? About to go buy some equipment and see if I can make my own Trappist style beer.

Keep the grist simple. Mostly, if not entirely, pilsner malt. Use sugar (cane sugar for lighter ales, dark candy sugar - NOT brown sugar- for dubbels and quads. Mash for attenuation if you're going all grain - I keep my belgians at 148*F for 90 minutes. A proper belgian ale is dry. If you're making something boozy like a tripel or quad, expect to have to condition it for a while before it gets really good. Use healthy yeast, preferably with a starter. Most importantly, make sure its Belgian yeast. That's crucial, since English and American strains won't get you that flavor.
good luck and have fun, anon

the whole point of gose mixes is gose's sourness lends itself to being sweetened quite well, unlike a normal diesel or radler

Thanks. I completed my supply run. I've got light candy sugar, pilsner malt extract, carapils malt and hallertau hops. I should be making about 5 litres at tripel strength.
