The Third Man is a great Orson Welles movie based on a Graham Greene/Carol Reed story. A western writer goes to post-war Vienna to visit his pal Harry Lime, a man he has always looked up to. Upon his arrival he discovers his friend was just killed in a car accident. The truth is, the friend isn't dead; he has faked his death to elude the police. They're after him for selling diluted penicillin to hospitals, which is killing children. Harry Lime is one of the all-time super creeps, and when we first see him, he's a sniveling coward. Greene and Welles wanted to make him the most despicable criminal imaginable. They couldn't think of anything worse than someone who'd kill children out of pure greed. They never met the people that don't like Black Butte Porter.

I have 5 gallons of IPA on tap that I made as well. Brewed with Apollo and Simcoe hops. Thinking about keg hopping with some nugget or summit.

I have another empty keg-not sure what to put in it. Maybe another IPA.

cool guy here,
Do you guys have suggestions for good beer. I really want to appreciate more beer brands but there is so many that it is so hard to really get one you are going to enjoy.
Here are my favorites(by brand):
Bohemia
Long Board
New Castle Guiness
Here are some that I know I don't like :
Sierra Nevada
Arrogant Bastard
Stella Artois

Based on those...any suggestions?

I had a Miller Lite last night at the bar. Ever since I got a bit too drunk I'm not fond of beer. Either that or I need to man up and just down the damn thing fast and forget about the taste.

[Anonymous No.4219304]

Remind me again why /ck/ hates Stella?

[Anonymous No.4219318]

I'm only 20 in america, so I can't properly access alchohol. Generally, I can really only get to some really low quality crap at parties or some nicer wines/whiskies at family events. My dad also always had really shitty wine and whisky at house. So basically, my knowledge of alcohols is pretty damn poor, which should explain why I'm going to ask such a stupid question

Whenever I've drunken beer, I pretty much imagine myself drinking lard. The texture, taste and the general feeling of drinking beer is just terrible. Kind of like drinking a cup of fondue. It feels like you're drinking fat. The first two attributes I contribute to the low quality of it, but the third seems like something that even the best of beers might have. So, is it?
Currently, I'll probably just end up not drinking beer even when offered, because it just seems like a shitty party drink. Gets you drunk, but hardly in a pleasant manner.

It does if you're not used to it. Do you remember your first beer? Taste's awful and wrong. Give it time 20yroldamerican, you'll grow to enjoy it. If possible, try one after a hard days work, the 'earned' feeling might make it taste better, and give you a positive memory to associate drinking it with.

Alright, because I actually enjoyed whiskey on the first couple of shots, and wine I didn't, but it was far more enjoyable than the beer's I've had. And as I understood it, whiskey and wines are meant be more "acquired taste" drinks than beer.

>>4219368
eh, maybe. I hated beer for a long time, but I grew to enjoy it. I always liked whiskey. Stick with what you like and learn about it, but don't be afraid to try new things. Maybe there is a kind of beer you haven't had and might enjoy, you never know.

[Anonymous No.4219867]

>>4219819
Find a beer with mild hop character that you can enjoy. Something along the lines of Magic Hat #9 or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. A friend and I picked up a six of Sierra Nevada and Arrogant Bastard Oaked to get started. Kind of a baptism in the fire with the latter, but by the time we were done, we were fit to be snobs.

And if you find the bitterness too overwhelming at first, take a bitter one first and then switch to something like a golden ale or wheat beer. Something like Kona Big Wave or Abita Purple Haze. Eventually your tastebuds will overlook the natural biological desire to associate bitter with poisons

[Anonymous No.4219876]

>>4219867
I have actually tried #9 and found it to be quite disgusting. the only beer I was anywhere close to enjoying was Blue Moon Winter Abbey Ale.

[Anonymous No.4219894]

>>4219876
Yeah, most everyone thought #9 was pretty bad, but it has moderately low IBU. I recall seeing somebody earlier posting about finding a beer similar to Winter Abbey. It's defined as a commercial Dubbel.

Maybe you'd like something along the lines of Chimay Red or something by Ommegang. Even casual drinkers have loved Big Wave though, very mild, slightly fruity and very un-beerish

[Anonymous No.4219902]

>>4219894
Same guy here, I actually had 1 #9 sitting around from the 6 pack I bought, I just opened after reading this thread, and while I'm able to pallete it I'm not really "enjoying it. Dubbel you say? I'll have to remember that.

[Anonymous No.4219921]

>>4219304
people hate it mostly because they assume everyone who drinks it thinks they're patrician. also, because it's overpriced for what it is. confess you occasionally drink it and you'll get shat on as a 'pleb'.

if I'm at the local drugstore and spontaneously decide I want beer with my dinner, I'll grab some. not like I can't afford it, and it's not like the drugstore has anything other than tecate/pbr/bud light/etc. it still has that annheuser-busch pisswater aftertaste, but it's not as bad as bud light.

I like Zywiec Porter. It's pretty tasty but has an alcohol kick to it. What it has going for it in my view is that it's pretty cheap and there aren't many commercially available baltic porters.
