If you are into IPA make sure to try Karben 4 Fantasy Factory, New Glarus Scream IIPA, Ale Asylum Bedlam (belgian yeast IPA), also not made in Wisconsin but definitely look for Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue

Best barrel aged beers are from Central Waters, any of their BA 4 pack releases are amazing, Lakefront's barrel aged barleywine is amazing too but not released often.

Favorite year round stout is 3 Sheeps Cashmere Hammer, but otherwise Tyranena probably does the best stouts, especially their 4 pack special release stouts

New Glarus makes amazing sours, especially fruit ones. Their brewery only limited release stuff over the summer is always worth the trip

Small brewery to keep an eye open for is Black Husky, their stuff is excellent but only sell in 22oz bottles and tap

Best tour is Lakefront in Milwaukee

Also, do your first beer shopping when you get here at Woodmans

Oh my God Woodman's is fucking amazing. One opened up last year and I haven't gone beer shopping anywhere else since. The selection is amazing, everything is relatively cheap, and they give so much stuff away. The rest of the store is pretty good too, but oh my God the liquor section.

most grocery stores do mixed 6 packs. Just pick 6 random beers from local breweries of different styles, then explore whatever styles you like the most further (though don't give up on a style from one bad beer). Once you have some styles down pick up some more expensive 4 packs or 22oz bottles of the style as most of the best beers will not be sold in 6 pack or as an option in a mixed 6 pack

Its way more expensive to learn what you like trying them at bars

while I was visiting San Diego on my spring break last weekend I hit up a few of the small local breweries.

pic related is Booze Brothers up in north county. Maybe there's an overabundance of facial hair at these places but if you can look past the hipsters the beer culture there is really second to none. Tons of great small craft breweries scattered around, each with a unique feel and beer selection. Going to be hard to go back to Georgia where you can't even buy beer from a brewery without it being a "free gift" part of a "special tour"

Yeah it's kind of like video games. An average beer automatically gets an 8 or 9 out of 10 just because. The only beers below that are macros or are just really bad. SN pale ale is a good pale ale, but nothing to write home about. They have a lot of seasonal stuff that is really great though so if you ever see anything else from them, pick it up

You also have to think about the people who care enough about beer to participate in rating them. Be aware of the skew in the data.

On another note milk stouts are delicious, tried a few from Poland and the one from Mikkeller, wish the style was more prevalent.

So half and half, okay.

Buying it for me was bizarre. I have a dispensary I usually go for craft beer the town over, and a place in my town I go to for hard liquor (beer selection there is meh).

The craft beer place has a 2 bottle/customer limit, and had like a $7/bottle pricing - they were packed and everyone was grabbing them.

The place in town, which I didn't expect to even have it, was completely empty, and let me buy 3 4-packs for $15 a pop. I was speechless. There goes my booze money for a long while though...

Ironically, I saw Weyerbacher's SMS at a store I ended up going to later, but brushed it off due to its lower ratings.

What do you prefer about it/what's the difference?

While I'm really into (Russian) Imperial Stouts (Speedway and Old Rasp are GOAT), bourbon barrels are new ground for me, and I'm trying to learn what's what.

SMS is much stronger with the bourbon and coffee flavors. It also seems to vary a lot per bottle. i.e. some taste like green peppers while others are all coffee fudge.
When I did the side by side, the SMS was thicker (huge bonus) but the KBS was more balanced. Since I preferred the massive coffee flavor from the SMS and the bottle I had was very oily, I preferred the SMS.

Just came back from The Beer Store with a 4-pack of Trois Pistoles from Unibroue. It is nowhere near as good as I remember, I must have got a stale pack or something. Either that or I've been drinking too much congac lately so anything else tastes like water.

Yeah the one place had a two bottle limit and I was pissed cuz I was literally the first person there.

When I went to the other place, for fixings for a Moscow mule, I mentioned it, and they offered 3. I thought they meant 3 bottles and the guy walked out with 3 4-packs and I just stared at him.

Sipping my first KBS ever now with literally zero regrets, fucking delicious.

>>7529442
Hm, I'll try picking a pack up eventually then since it seems like it won't go too fast. I think I'll prefer KBS since I'm not overly crazy about the coffee taste - one of the reasons I'm not a huge BP VaS fan, since it's just too much coffee for me.

I've had Dogfish's 120, but haven't had the pleasure to try the rest. I'd really like to try their stout. Their Piercing Pilsner, 60m, and 90m are good.

I've had most of the Maine brewing ones (pretty easy to find as a new englander). They're a quality but hard to find brewery, no complaints.

Never seen the rest, expect for the Allagash. Everything they do is great. I especially love their Tripel.

Pretty drunk atm. Two heavy moscow mules + Oskar Blues Ten Fidy + Ommegang Quadrupel + KBS + Old Rasputin = happy damn Friday y'all.

I live in NY but near the border of CT. So I am in the New England area a lot, and occasionally Pennsylvania. I also live around a lot of wealthy areas and am really close to NYC, so basically I live in one of the best (and most expensive) places for US craft beer.

About Dogfish Head, if you like 60 or 90 minute try and get some Squall, it is their best IPA hands down.

Maine is honestly sort of boring to me. They make a small but super solid lineup of beers. I feel they are overrated and a bit boring , but I respect and appreciate what they do.

Dude what. He's saying it's over a year aged, not that there's an issue in canning. Pretty much everyone who is into craft beer knows that canning is superior. It's not always available because bottling machines are so available and canning aren't, but it's always better for the beer.

>>7529514
I actually distribute Weyerbacher in my state, and I sold the two cases I sent to a liquor store in something like 6 minutes doing one bottle per person. It's been out over a month for sure. If you're into trading at all, it's pretty much the hottest thing on the West Coast because it doesn't get distributed there. I'd buy every single bottle if I was you and taste any Whale you want from California. Or just drink it in its own right and have a nice time.

Marketing affects what beers brewers decide to make with what kind of yeast. Also the fact that most lager is traditionally terrible has lead better brewers to brew more ales, not because of the properties of ale, but to avoid being associated with people who make bad beer (marketing)

In short: no.

There's a goofy three tier system in beer in America left over from prohibition. A brewery has to sell their beer to a distributor who then sells it to a retail outlet (bar, liquor store, whatever) who can then sell to a consumer.

North coast will probably tell you where you can buy their kegs, or at least give you the info for their distributor in your market who can.

I'm now enjoying a 75cl bottle of Gulden Draak that was gifted to me.
4 years ago, it was among my favorite beers. I've since discovered many better beers, but I'm still enjoying it very much. Haven't had one of these in a long time. 10.5%, so I'm taking it slow.

This. These are generally easy to find stouts/porters, and good quality.

Yeti by Great Divide is also somewhat common, and quite good. Bells puts out some good beers too, like their Double Cream and Expedition stouts.

Once you get into the thick of em, you should start branching out into the weirder things, like Evil Twin stouts, or Brooklyn ones - any bomber or 750ml ones, or countless others, depending on where you are.

So I brewed my first beer and it turned out okay, it's got a bit of a strange flavor, kinda sour. I'm assuming this is from something not being sterile. Odd thing is though it's only in the foam, if once I get past the head it tastes fine. Anyone know why that is?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 11 10:53:13 2016 No.7560794 >>7560288 It's safe to drink, don't worry. Lactid acid bacteria causes that sour taste. Some ales use it on purpose. Old fashioned beer used to taste like that because they didn't sterilize anything.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 11 11:00:22 2016 No.7560810 >>7560145 Yeah, but there's not much variety, and they don't taste as good. It's okay, i can just drink wine.

Any advice for a super noob? 21st was yesterday, and I grabbed one of those "pick six" pack things at the store yesterday just to get a variety and see what I like the most. I see a lot of stuff about local breweries in this thread, is there a good way to find what's local around me?

Went to my local liquor store to grab some budweiser and found a bottle of this stuff. An employee didn't want it I guess so I was just at the right place at the right time. They had sold out a week ago

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 11 21:30:19 2016 No.7562424 >>7562248 it's a really good beer but pretty intense too Don't drink it all cold though. Abt 12 is much better closer to room temperature so don't drink it too fast.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 11 21:30:50 2016 No.7562426 >>7562113 Haven't drank it yet, but I've had it before and it's nothing like you described

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 11 23:31:18 2016 No.7562729 >>7562554 Of course he's one damn happy monk, he's got a glass of St Bernardus Abt 12. I love it personally, top 5 beer for me. Their tripel is also excellent.
