>good
>adjunct lager

choose one. "good" is a purely subjective taste, and there are undoubtedly plenty of threads on /ck/ about fast food and garbage frozen dinners, so I can't say that this thread dosen't belong. But fucking come on. It's "good" for people without self respect. it's "good" for people that simply do not know better. It's "good" for people who couldn't call themselves fans of beer with a straight face or sincerity in their voice.

To answer OPs question "And why do they drink it?" Well, in short it's America's beverage. It cannot legally be called "beer" due to the presence of rice being greater in volume than the presence of barley, therefore becoming a different beverage altogether. It simulates the aesthetic qualities of a real beer (effervescence, foamy head, chilled) and for most it's the most pleasing vehicle for alcohol to enter the bloodstream.

Okay if that's how you feel it's fine
It's beer in the United states, and I stand by what I say about beers of this style
They have a very inoffensive flavor profile. They don't taste particularly good, but they are not supposed to. They are balanced so as to appeal to the taste of the majority of the intended demographic and most adjunct lagers do a good job of that.
Craft beer is huge in the United states nowadays as well, but I'm not gonna spend 10$ for a six pack of beer I just want to relax and sip on after a hard day of work on the house.

What a weird thing to be incredulous about, but back to the discussion...

>>8461243
In any given state, only 5% of the beer consumed was created in that state, the other 95% consisting of big-name craft and mass produced adjunct lager.

>>8461270
What I don't get is how poorly thought out it is to buy adjunct lager "to get drunk"

A 6 pack of Bud Light at $6.99 contains 3.024 ounces of alcohol, averaging out to $2.31. A 4 pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA at $9.99 contains 4.32 ounces of alcohol, averaging out to $2.31 per ounce of alcohol.

You literally pay 42% more for double the quality and more alcohol for less filler. Adjunct lager is nothing more than a misinformed purchase.

Good question. Prior to prohibition almost every medium sized city and most bars brewed their own beer. This resulted in very unique styles by region. During prohibition, the larger brewers switched to producing malted baby food and other products and were able to weather it. The smaller breweries shut down. Then we entered WWII where mostly women and men unfit for military conscription remained in the homeland and pisswater made from rice was found to be the best seller (and cheapest to produce) due to their delicate tastes. When the warriors came back, they were happy to be alive and fucking again, so they didn't bitch.

Did that answer your question?

I visited America last year and I can say they're probably making the best beer in the world now. There's a reason so many places here are doing American style craft beers and trying to get ahold of hops American breweries have access to. Stone just opened up in Germany as well and the hype was massive.

I'm going to go ahead and fall for it. Modern light Oktoberfest is Budweiser tier garbage, and Germany brewing has fallen far behind American craft brewers. The Reinheitsgebot protected German beer quality for centuries but now it's just shackles keeping you from pushing the envelope. When America decides it loves something -and it has decided it loves beer-, it's unstoppable. The financial, human, and cultural resources are too large to compete with.

What's it to me? It's everything to me. You see, there is no two ways about it: I am O B S E S S E D with judging people based on their choice of beer. Only the finest for me. There is no "I'm in the mood for something cheap tonight", only "which dope expensive craft beer shall I imbibe tonight"

But if I ever met you in person, I'd say "go ahead, if you feel like having a Bud after mowing the grass, what's it to me?" But in my head I'd be wondering if someone assisted you in getting dressed this morning, or if a work coach accompanies you at your job.

Not all Craft is overly hopped/overly stouty shit though. Brooklyn Lager, Brooklyn Pilsner, Sam Adams Boston Lager, Sam Adams Boston Ale come to mind. I think most breweries make at least one lager and/or lightly hopped Ale.

Corona and Modelo also come in cans, and even in clear bottles they usually still taste better than Bud to me. Not that I even have a problem with Bud.

I go to all kinds of bars, but almost always with plenty of people 21-35.

And I don't live in a flyover town, I live right outside of NYC. And even in NYC, it's the same thing.

At my favorite local bar at least, they do have 28 beers on tap and it's mostly craft.

It is much more expensive to make good beer. The profit margins on adjunct lagers are much higher. Most of the big brewers replace much of the barley with cheap and flavorless corn or rice, plus most macro beers are very low in alcohol usually only 4-5% while craft beer is usually in the 5-10% area which, if they watered their beers down to 4% like Bud Light it would cost proportionately less to produce. Also hops are fairly expensive and they are used at much higher rates in craft beers. Most importantly though is the economy of scales and distribution networks the big guys have, it simply costs less to make something per unit when you make a lot of it

The alcohol thing I don't agree with entirely, tons of craft beer is in the 5-6% range. The hops thing I definitely agree with though, hops are expensive and American macros seem to barely use hops, while they're a very important part of craft beers.

Do all of the American macros use rice in their beers?

Shit, thats insanely high relative to what I see. Most base tier craft 6 packs are $7-10 with some higher ABV stuff in the $10-12 range and then top tier stuff in $10-12 4 packs, or inferior 22oz bottles that are mostly overpriced

Some craft beer is closer to 5, but the average ABV is considerably higher than the 4% typical of the best selling light beers.

Just think if you are making a 4% beer, you would have to increase the amount of ingredients you are putting in by 50% to get even to 6% ABV

Yeah, I'm just comparing it to the stuff most people who don't drink craft beer buy, which is light beer. Non light macro beer has a pretty small marketshare these days

I'm just pointing out that a significant portion of the cost of making beer, the raw materials, is roughly proportional to the ABV, and then when you consider than craft brewers are using barley and not rice or corn this becomes even more significant

Sure its a minority at about a quarter of sales, but its much higher than in Europe. Most bars and restaurants in America will offer many more craft taps than they do macro taps, and any grocery or liquor store or even gas station will have plenty of great beer for a good price which just isn't the case in the rest of the world

Ireland isn't bad though, im just really worried that Guinness won't make the same mistakes the American macros did )only selling terrible beer) which would stifle the advancement of good beer there. Its been 1.5 years since I've been to Ireland but it seemed near 75% of all taps in bars were Guinness brands. I had a couple McGargles beers, they were fine, nothing interesting though.

>But most people in the US under 40 also drink macros
any stat on this?
Unless you mean on occasion, but if you think most 21-40 year old Americans primarily drink macros, that seems pretty unlikely, especially amongst males. It seems rare that a 20 or 30 something male chooses to buy a light beer

I live in Queretaro (safest city in Mexico), and they have a really good brewery called Hercules. It's sold dirt cheap all over the city, and they have a bar with crazy discounts on thursday. In Queretaro, there is what is called "Juebebes" or "Drink-thursday" in english, all bars have really good discounts.

I'm not a big craft beer drinker, but alcohol related turism is big in mexico (see tequila train), and highly urbanized cities like Queretaro, Monterrey, Guadalajara and of course CDMX have a bretty gud craft beer scene so I'm told.
That being said, in rural Mexico craft beer is near nonexistant. Artesanal alcohol in the country is usually tequila and the fermented blood of drug war casualties.

You're still not being clear.

AIPAs have nothing to do with the myth of them actually being over-hopped to last the voyage to India. "Old school" IPAs in America mean the classic IPAs from 20-30 years ago, many of which are still around; real old school means skunk water.

Plenty of American breweries make old english style ones, its not exactly the same as people back then didn't understand sanitation so all beer was sour to an extent, and all of the english breweries that made it died out or pivoted to milder, cheaper to produce styles in the 1800s. I think the last extant traditional IPA was actually made in America by Ballantine but that formula was lost sometime in the 1970s or 80s

>true IPA's were not made in England

I'd laugh really hard if there weren't people who actually believe this. Just where do you think the "I" comes from in IPA? Do you think Indian shitskins were brewing it? Do you think the US had some relationship with India in the 1800's? Do you think the English East India Company didn't exist?

For god's sakes, open a fucking world history book once in a while.

A British beer that's probably pretty close to the mark and readily available as an export is Fuller's Bengal Lancer. It's probably a bit less dry than it should be, but still.

American IPAs more came out of American Pale Ales such as Sierra Nevada which is pretty much the progenitor as a way to further showcase the US style hops available.

Fags. You know damn well why Budweiser is so popular and that's because you don't have to think about it, You can just drink it. And it gets you drunk. You don't have to "appreciate" anything about it. It's not going to challenge you with its hop profile or its darkness, because that's meme shit. It is what it is - drinkable beer. You can chug liters of this shit like it was Coca Cola, and you can't be doing that with your double-chocolate roast coffee milk stouts.
