Currently drinking pic related. Went in for a soda for some pizza, but this looked more interested.

Very smooth. Might be one of the first ones that are aged in barrels where I can actually taste the flavor of what they were aged in.
Would be great with red meat, but pizza will have to do.

Favorite drink of my life still goes to Even More Jesus. Never see it outside of one pub in Wisconsin, and the nearest store with it is 2 hours away, so it'll have to wait until I head that way again.

Post your top 3 and briefly blogpost about your taste.

My favorite beers are belgian blondes, wheats, white ales, hefeweizens. I don't usually drink stouts but I think that Guinness is a great achievements. Delirium Tremens is everything I like about light Belgian beer and it's boozy. The Sam Smith lager is just best in class for something neutral and everyday you'd want with a burger.

Been making my way through the Samuel Adams seasonal variety packs, and I gotta say, most of them were a lot better than i expected.

Is there a way to reduce the alcohol shits? The main reason I don't drink on work nights is the fear of having those terrible alcohol shits that cannot be held in for longer than 30 minutes.

yes, it's garbage for comparing beers but it gives you an idea wether it's shit or not and what it tastes like.

[Anonymous No.9696943]

>>9696740
Several reasons, mostly tied to the US fanbase:

-If you live on a different continent you're going to get a lot more of the mass market stuff

-Beer in general isn't shipped as carefully as fine wines, and when the beers tend to be lower alcohol, lower IBU beers that makes matters worse

-Number scales are simply a bad way to evaluate something complex like the enjoyment of a beverage, so X-TREEM styles will always rate more highly than more balanced styles. Same goes in the wine world, when you blind taste 50 wines in a row your palate is going to start favoring the fat, overblown, unwieldy styles that stand out, which is why Angry Bull Lodi Pinot Noir (now with moar mega purple!) is going to outrank Chateau les Milquetoastes from Volnay even though the Volany wine is a more enjoyable wine when your mouth isn't scorched from too much drinking

And finally

-Americans are still overcompensating from post-prohibition emotional trauma and eager to distance themselves from anything balanced or drinkable, due to its alleged similarity to bud light. See for instance the fact that they autistically say "craft beer" instead of just "beer", and "normal beer" means macro adjunct lagers

Pouring beer with a large head allows the carbonation to escape the beer before being drank. Try pouring a beer into a tall glass with no head, then take a spoon and spin it and watch it foam up. If you pour it with no head, the foam stays trapped until something allows it to escape (like the trip to your stomache). Pouring a beer with no head reduces causes the beer to put pressure on your stomache walls, making its drinker feel bloated. A good head on a pint, let it sit until the foam subsides, and then drink. The particians way of enjoying a pint.

Head foam and head retention is from the beer's content, mostly proteins. Highly carbonated beer doesnt immediately mean good foam and/or retention.

Every other IPA I've had has been a step down from Two Hearted desu.

[Anonymous No.9710140]

Trying this for the first time.

I've had better imperial stouts but it's still damn good.

[Anonymous No.9710147]

>>9710129
Ever have Dogfish Head 60 Minute? That's my favorite IPA I've had so far, I think I like it more than 2 Hearted but I'd have to try them both again

ballast point sculpin

go with the original first, it's slightly better than all the variations (although they are interesting and good for a change

You missed out on the barrel aged tenfiddy over the summer
It was awesome

>>9689054
A few nights ago I had the Simcoe hoped sour
Was damn good

I really liked the space cake, but I thought the Galactica was a bit cleaner
The Green zebra was ass in my opinion, to thick and syrupy

Holy shit it's so good and perfect for the weather change

I'm on my eleventh Natty Lite.

I was a Miller Lite drinker for a while because of the 16 oz. 12 packs, but then Natty came out with the 15 packs and that's about my daily consumption level. The regular 12 oz #12 packs weren't quite enough

Have you ever had Ballast Point Big Eye IPA? It's pretty good too and worth trying if you like the Sculpin

I drank a 6 pack of that and it was the first time I ever got wasted off a 6 pack since I first started drinking

I want to try their other offerings, but I only find Sculpin, Grapefruit/Pineapple Sculpin, and Big Eye where I live

[Anonymous No.9710879]

Has anyone else noticed that PBR is no longer the hipster beer of choice? Where I live it seems like Miller High Life and Tecate took over

Both of which are superior IMO, but especially Miller High Life since it's cheap, it's the only 12 pack I can get for less than 10 dollars after tax and bottle deposit.

And even though the bottles are clear, it doesn't usually taste skunky.

That's because they don't exist anymore. The hipster generation grew up and their values changed. Most of them moved to the burbs and have kids now and have boring corporate jobs and don't use recognizable slang other than talking about "KPIs" and "leveraging core competencies". Their leader joined the Nazis. They drink whatever it is middle aged people drink. Expensive craft beer. Wine. "Artisanal" spirits.

What you refer to as "hipsters" are simply younger people of your own age whose life choices offend you in some arbitrary way.

1. You're wrong, the hipster culture is alive and well, go to Brooklyn and you'll see what I mean
2. I have nothing against hipsters, their neighborhoods are pretty fun (good bars, good clubs, good restaurants, etc.)

Oh and my uncle was an OG hippie, he's 66 and is still very much a hippie.

[Anonymous No.9710931]

>>9710915
When I was a kid, we had some kids at our school who wore tie-dye shirts and bell bottoms when everyone else was wearing hypercolor and overalls with one shoulder undone.

We called them "hippies". They were not hippies.

Btw, I live in Brooklyn. I was here during the hipster era, which has been over for some time now.

[Anonymous No.9710934]

>>9710931
So those funny dressed people in Bushwick and Ridgewood aren't hipsters? Their existence is a figment of my imagination?

[Anonymous No.9710941]

>>9710934
They're just kids living out a fantasy they saw on "Girls" starring Lena Dunham.

Off to my boring corporate job now, have fun waiting for the bars to open.

[Anonymous No.9710944]

>>9710931
but I also want to point out that there have always been hipster type people and always will be

The Beatniks of the 50s, the hippies of the 60s and 70s, and whatever their equivalent since then has been

It's more organic than you think, I doubt most of them give a fuck about Lena Dunham.

Hipsters are really just young, left leaning, urban people who like to party

[Anonymous No.9710955]

>>9710945
they're equivalents.

[Anonymous No.9710958]

>>9710934
Everyone knows there are still hipsters. His definition of them is just too narrow and unchanging.

[Anonymous No.9710968]

>>9710955
They're not. Hippies were a 60s and 70s Boomer wave of rejection of the status quo and free love and all that dumb bullshit. Hipsters are plaid wearing beard stroking beanie donning craft beer snobs who drive Priuses and look down on the mainstream.

[Anonymous No.9710977]

>>9710968

They're very similar.

>liberal
>rejection of conservative America
>flock to big cities with hipster scenes such as New York (Greenwich Village in the 60s and 70s, Bushwick in the 2010s)
>dress different from mainstream populace
>love to drink, do drugs, and smoke cigarettes

[Anonymous No.9710996]

>>9710977
Now I agree with you. They are similar. But they aren't equivalent.

Idk if it's available in California, but 60 minute ipa is the perfect ipa imo.

[Anonymous No.9711099]

>>9711067
I love 60 Minute and I'm not even that into IPAs.

On a related note, the first time I tried it, it tasted like coffee despite being an IPA.

[Anonymous No.9711418]

difference between bottled vs canned?

[Anonymous No.9711492]

>>9711418
Cans are sealed better and if filled properly, have less exposed surface area, both to prevent oxidation.

The only advantage bottles have is that sometimes they look nicer. In rare cases they can be corked to allow a little air in for secondary fermentation.

[Anonymous No.9711545]

>>9711492
I do think that when it comes to drinking beer directly out of the container, adjunct beers taste better out of bottles

Maybe it allows for stronger carbonation which is helpful for those kinds of beers
