Drinking my way through a 6pack of Ballast Point's "Dead Ringer," an Oktoberfest copycat.

It's shit. Way too sweet with no hops to balance it. Doesn't even come close to the shittiest of the original Marzens (which is probably Spaten IMO), not to mention Hacker-Pschorr, my favorite of them all.

Picked this up last night. I've had porters and stouts with chocolate and vanilla flavors advertised. They're nice and this one is a good example. I recommend it to anyone who would like a darker beer to try. If you can't find this particular bottle I've seen other breweries make a similar brew in the same style.

Weihenstephaner Vitus - I first tried German hefewizen and this is a beer with more pronounced flavor with a higher abv. Has a nice banana flavor from the yeast.

Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro- the first nitro beer I tried. Rich, smooth, w/ a creamy mouth feel.

I finally went off the deep end and have been home brewing like crazy. Over the past five months I've made a 7.2% dunkel, a 5% Patersbier, a 7% dark IPA, and a 4% hoppy wheat beer. Now I've got a Saison with honey in the fermenter. It's already at 8.7% and still bubbling.
I haven't bought a beer from the store except for Guinness, a few mix-6's, and Oktoberfests since they're fresh. Saw Blue Pants Oktoberfest but haven't tried it yet, any good?

You might want to try homebrewing at some point.

Costs around $15-30 per ~23 liters (/40 UK pint) for easy extract brew, and you can make those styles well and easy and tinker with them.

Cost could be be halved or less if you processed all ingredients on your own and mashed your own wort rather than using an extract.

Almost pointless. There are so many beers. I guess you can kinda find out how some style of beer MIGHT taste, but it still depends on the individual brewery for most styles.

The grapefruit is great, regular sculpin is pretty mediocre. I feel like the only reason it gets praise is because it's one of the few slightly balanced ipas from the west coast.

Then you're trying the wrong styles or just not finding decent stuff. We can't compete with the Germans, or Belgians, in a lot of their bread and butter ones, but a few breweries can come at least passably close. And we probably win in styles like stouts and whatnot.

>hey buy hundreds of dollars worth of equipment, then try and most likely fail a few batches before getting home brewing down, THEN YOU'LL SAVE MONEY
No, you don't need to at all. And you don't need a farm and tractor either.

Quick listing of what you actually might want for extract brewing at home.

Utensils:
- $15 brewing bucket with airlock. Plastic tube for transfer (~$1?), spoon for stirring, $0.5 stick-on thermometer strip
- Optionally a ~$8 hydrometer (observing that the airlock no longer bubbles or just waiting also usually work fine).

Consumables:
>$20-30 for the beer extract kit and sugar / malt extract.
> About 5 gallons of water.
> $0.05-0.1 of dish washing liquid and optionally sanitizer in spray bottle

Final storage:
Old PVC bottles from any typical carbonated drink, primed with 5g sugar put into each for nice foam with CO2. I'll just call them free.

Or perhaps a $30 plastic barrel with tap and a CO2 / NO2 valve. Or whatever you prefer.

- Optionally a ~$8 hydrometer (observing that the airlock no longer bubbles or just waiting also usually work fine).

Consumables:
- $20-30 for the beer extract kit and sugar / malt extract.
- About 5 gallons of water.
- $0.05-0.1 of dish washing liquid and optionally sanitizer in spray bottle

Final storage:
Old PVC bottles from any typical carbonated drink, primed with 5g sugar put into each for nice foam with CO2. I'll just call them free.

Or perhaps a $30 plastic barrel with tap and a CO2 / NO2 valve. Or whatever you prefer.

I get this bearded guy that owns a shop to get some hops then put the hops in a vice, then squeeze out all of the liquid into a jug untill it's full.

But that's not enough, he then boils the liqued untill it's condensed. Then he finaly bottles it with (the label says artisan craft) with a dprincle of yeast at the bottom in bottles he got out of a kickstarter fund. He desingned them.

I then take the first sip and say mmm hoppie.

No, the result is good.

It is not like you're lacking anything vs. commercially produced beer in most styles of beer. Same ingredients, same fermentation, and because you don't need to pasteurize or use preservatives or filter solids for shelf life reasons or "presentation" (who wants even a small layer of white goo at the bottom of their bottle?), you even have an advantage with the taste of virtually all beers with more "body".

There are many different kinds of Guinness.
If you're an Amerifag, there's two main kinds: Draught and Extra Stout. If you get Guinness on draft, you are getting Draught. It's pretty thin for a stout and much lower ABV than Extra Stout (somewhere around 4 percent I think.)
Extra Stout is a whole different beast. 6%, thick and chewy. I've drank thousands of different beers but I still will choose Guinness above any other stout when I want a good roasty dark beer.

Kilkenny is a beer that always come across as very non-bitter to me. Also Hefeweizen is the obvious thing to mention if you already like Belgian wit. But seriously I'm not the right person to ask.
