Japanese beer is *just* starting to get into the craft beer thing, and even then it's very very very fringe. And it's pretty expensive. So you might go to a supermarket and find in a whole 2 aisles of beer and liquor stuff you'll find 3 varieties of craft beer, and they're not even that flavorful or interesting.

SS Nut Brown Ale was a 3.7/5 for me, but it was one of the better brown ales I've tried. Not a very impressive style, as I'd rate Newcastle a 3.2/5.

Pic related is a solid 4.3/5, and I don't even like IPAs that much. It's the perfect balance of citrusy notes to bitterness, and as you work your way down the glass, it gets more bitter, but keeps being refreshing. Almost beats SN Torpedo in my book.

[Anonymous No.9319355]

>>9318734
No, Tintin, it's because IPAs were the first widely popular craft beer style, not only in America but also internationally because of their strong flavour in contrast to macro-lagers, leading to an upward spiral of greater availability and higher demand. 'Cheap quality' or ease of brewing simply has nothing to do with it; there are good brewers and bad brewers, just like any other type of ale, with the only difference being scale of production.

Belgians are fairly easy to find in the US. You can find most of the well known/acclaimed EU Trappist beers and whatnot everywhere, though they tend to be fairly expensive.

There's a number of American breweries that put out Belgian style ales that are frankly almost, if not as, good as the stuff you get across the pond, such as Ommegang and Allagash.

But the price point is the real issue. Imported stuff is like $20+ a 4-pack, while domestic stuff is like 1/2 the price. What do you go for, something that's a 10/10 for double the price, or something that's 9.5/10 for half the price?

IPA's are common here, but only a handful are actually good - and those that are are worth trying. The stout game in the US is one point though. We're
Mostly lacking in terms of more nuanced and lighter stuff like Wit's and Hefe's, though we're learning. Gose's are strangely popular here.

There are a lot of mediocre ones in the west, but if you go to the midwest or New England and order a random ass modern IPA its probably going to at least be pretty good. There are definitely some exceptions but its just so easy to find good stuff

Depending on your location, you should be able to find some Hefes that are made in the more traditional German style. Live Oak and No Label in my area have pretty well regarded hefes. Other than that, go to a German biergarten and try some stuff.

>>9312733
I love sours but hate smoke-infused beer. Anderson Valley Brewing has a pretty damn good Gose with their Blood Orange Gose. Saint Arnold's raspberry AF is great. There is a local brewer here (Texian) that specializes in sours and has some interesting fruit combinations. I had an unfiltered apricot beer there. I forget the exact style, and it was cloudy as fuck. It was also delicious as fuck.

>>9320006
Haven't tried it but I've seen it several times at several places. Liquor-store tier, not grocery store. Reviews say it tastes very sweet to them. Do you find this to be true?

Wild Beer and 8 Wired are great breweries.

Not really a smoked beer. It has a taste of smoked chilli in there, but the whole beer is far from smoked.

I've only tried the briney melon gose from Anderson Valley, but I've been told I do need to try the blood orange one too. The briney melon is one of my favourite goses.

It's suprisingly good. Founders has sucked at getting bourbon out of the barrels for a couple years in the more signature beers in the bba series (kbs and backwoods) so desu it is a nice touch. It is also verry inexpensive for what they have been up to.

Also had this bad boy from Mad Hatter yesterday. A lot smoother but still a smack round the face with big sorachi flavour.

Spiced beer and flavorful adjuncts were the norm in Germany and the rest of Europe until regulations were pushed by big Bavarian brewers to 'ensure quality' (read: control the market). It pushed perfectly good styles like fruit and spiced beers to the brink of extinction, while doing piss-all to stop macro-brewers from brewing inferior product. And to add insult to injury, the current rules aren't even the same as those drawn up in 1516, which introduced even more loopholes and arbitrary contradictions, none of which benefit drinkers.

Europeans brew good beer in spite of, not because of, 'purity laws', and even then they have lost decades of knowledge that Americans are only too eager to rediscover.

Rodenbach makes good sour red ales, especially their higher-end beers. The Grand Cru is definitely worth sampling.

With that said, take care if you haven't had anything like this before. Sip slowly, and let the flavours develop through the initial acidity.

Spotted cow went from my least favorite to number one or two from new glarus, excluding special releases. It's so easy to drink but still has enough complexity to it to just sip on for a while.

[Anonymous No.9325156]

>>9325138
I like Spotted Cow fine, but their special releases are all amazing, and I would take Moon Man over Spotted Cow any day
It is a great beer though in that it can appeal both to people who always drink good beer and those that usually just drink Miller Lite (and it literally outsells Bud Light in Wisconsin, which I don't think any other state has a craft beer do that)

[Anonymous No.9325225]

Wasn't long ago people said that here in the states. If you didn't drink bud/coors/PBR you were called a fag. (depending on what part of the states you live in this is still true).

If it's in a style i like and it looks good i'll try it, if it tastes good i'll drink it. Best part of the whole craft brew scene being so huge right now is all of the unique beers being produced.
there is always something for everyone.
