Are there thousands of microketchuperies putting out top-quality product and demonstrating creativity and ingenuity in a millenniums-old art? And are they juxtaposed by corporate ketchup barons who make a far inferior product and only answer to their shareholders?

this might be the thread to ask in...

im going to Vegas via LA in just under 2 months. im an Ausfag, so i really have no idea which American beers are good. well, obviously I know to avoid Bud and Coors and whatnot.

anyway, any good beers that would be available in any old corner shop in LA? have to stock up when we leave LAX driving to Vegas town.

yeah, it confused me a little, from what i knew Milwaukee's Best was on par with Bud, Coors, Miller and all that other piss.

when he said it was considered high end that kind of gave it away.

the real problem is i know what to avoid, but apart from Blue Moon which /ck/ usually says is quite good, i havent heard of any others. Ill keep Fat Tire in mind. would it be available in any old LA liquor stop though?

>> No.4200021

>>4200007
problem is most of the craft murka stuff that is really good isn't regularly stocked at a lot of places
blue moon is even spotty
fat tire is a good suggestion, since you will see that at most gas stations
usually sam adams crap is the high end of corner store/gas station selections
I suggest finding a liquor store, and checking in with whoever works there

True. If you want a good selections you have to go to a specialty place like total wine and more or bevmo. At grocery stores fat tire and blue moon are the best you're going to get, and it's often overpriced, like >$16 for a 12 pack. Thats because most americans would rather spend $14 and get like 24 budweisers.

I buy my beer most of the time at rite-aid. They'll at least carry Stella, fat tire, heineken and stuff and they always have something good on sale.

I was just in Vegas.

Their beer selection is fuckall terrible. It's for tourists who want their macrobrew Heineken, Miller, Bud, and Coors. I was happy to get a Michelob Lager after having to survive on coors light and stella.

I'm no expert at California brews, though. I'm sure you can find a build-your-own-6-pack of craft beers and try a few out.

Look, sure, sometimes the beer snobs like to flaunt their shit around and act like snobs, but for the most part, craftbrews are really a lot more tasteful. You don't even need to break the bank much, hell, sam adams or fat tire are usually cheap if you want something other than bud.

in terms of West coast beers (some are widely distributed, I know) to look out for;

Stone Brewery - hop-centric
Firestone Walker - delicious oatmeal stout
Deschutes - reliably good beers
Lagunitas - unique malty profile
21st Amendment - good canned beers
Green Flash - very well bodied beers
North Coast - Old Rasputin for a good stout
Port Brewing - Their stout and Mongo IPA are great
Ballast Point - A very tropical IPA (Scuplin)
Russian River Brewery - good luck finding these guys, but they have amazing sours and a much sought after IPA. A bit pricey for their sours.

I have to be careful with the hopslam, its so damned good and at 10% the night can end quickly. If it wasn't close to $20 a six pack, I'd have to take the month off. Bell's is awesome in general, so is my other Michigan favorite, North Peak.

If you're short on time and worried about getting lost then I recommend you DON'T go looking for some ghetto liquor store around LAX. Just get on the 405 South, exit Hawthorne Blvd and make a right. A little past Artesia Blvd on your right is Total Wine. Stock up with mass amounts of craft beer, then head back the way you came. Easy.

Shame you're not spending more time here though. There are some great bars/breweries around.
