List what new things you've tried the past week and how you liked them.

>Founders CBS
10.5/10 I felt like I was drinking liquid winter season while santas step-daughter home from elf college was blowing me
>Founders Breakfast Stout
9.4/10 I thought it was missing a particular flavor that stuck out or gripped you but still an absolutely fantastic beer. I guess they saved CBS to fill that extra criteria.
>Dales pale Ale
8/10 I've never been into hops in general but this pale ale changed that. I'll probably buy this again.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 00:10:12 2017 No.9787409 I'm drinking the Breakfast Stout right now, it's definitely great but how is this world class? It's hyped up to be a 10/10 beer and to me it's more like an 8/10. I'll try the KBS and CBS too if I can get my hands on them.

>>9787328
Good taste OP.
>Founders CBS
I've yet to try CBS, sp I'm jelous. I love me some KBS, though I felt it wasn't as good this year (maybe I'm crazy).
>Founders Breakfast Stout
Yep. A fantastic beer. It's a gold standard stout others should try to meet.
>Dales pale Ale
Oskar Blues is great in general. I strongly recommendation their Ten Fidy stout too.

I splurged this weekend and drank and ate too much. Here's what I had though.
>Weyerbacher Sunday Mole Stout
A bit of a let down, honestly. It's not as good as their Sunday Morning Stout, and Evil Twin and Prairie do spiced stouts better.
>LongTrail Unearthed
A good surprise. Not the best BBA beer ever, but much better than I expected from Long Trail.
>Ommegang Three Philosophers
A solid quad. I like Rochefort, Bernardus, and Boulevard Sixth Glass more though.
>Allagash Tripel
A great beer. Can't say anything bad about it.
>Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stour
I love this stuff. A really consistent and good 10% RIS that I can get a 6-pack of for like $10.
>Kentucky Old Fashioned Barrel Ale
This was different. Worth trying but not worth getting again. I love a good Old Fashioned, and could taste one here, but it was a novelty.

Anonymous Mon Dec 4 00:21:48 2017 No.9787458

Some beer I've had recently that I'll comment on

>O'Haras Irish Red
Good beer, didn't blow my mind but it had a nice subtle chewy malt taste that I enjoyed
>O'Hara's Stout
Really good stout, would get again. Very flavorful yet sessionable.
>Founder's All Day IPA
Really good IPA, I'm not a huge fan of the massive sticky palate bomb IPAs but I do love some good hop flavor, so I enjoy this a lot.
>Founder's Breakfast Stout
Really good stout with a lot of good flavor, however not the 10/10 that the beer hypebeasts make it out to be
More drinkable than I thought. I'm drinking it literally right now, I think it's better cold than room temperature or else it's too boozy
>New Belgium Fat Tire Belgian White
Really good witbier! Nice crisp citrus flavor, very well rounded
>Sierra Nevada Octoberfest
Good octoberfest, I'm not a huge fan of this style though so it didn't blow me away. But not bad by any means, I could knock down 8 of them.

Sorry for potato photo.
This was way more carbonated than I was expecting. My first Brett, and somewhat surprising. I had expected something rougher and more odorous since it was described as evoking horses. The brettanomyces hits the hardest in the aftertaste, but overall it is far less bitter than I expected.

Thanks for the contribution. I see a few I've been wanting to try. KBS I still have to try. I hope it'll be there next time I run by the store.

>>9787458
Founders BS I think the same as you. I''s probably too nice with my review but it's still good.

people bitch about how they don't like it but it's fifty fifty. Definetly a difference in tastes I'd imagine. I'm gonna try it; see who the fuck is right.

I would guess the style as a whole has the strong, I guess you could call it rustic, taste. This one was a little spicy, and smelled fruity, but in subtle ways, not as much as I had hoped. It was also quite dry, but I assume that has to do with this particular brew. Someone else might be able to say more than me.

I picked up a St archer IPA once at the store and it was literally almost undrinkable. Like liquid fur tree or some shit. I think alot of breweries miss the mark with IPAs or just hops in general you know? Anyways, I'll have to look for Terreux company and see for myself.

I always speak in terms of widely available beers. I've had widely available beers that I found better than Breakfast Stout. Completely different styles, though.

And yeah I recommend trying a bottle of the Fat Tire Belgian White, it might not be ridiculously good but I found it very enjoyable. Flavorful, yet sessionable.

Between sour and bitter, guess which flavor humans evolved to generally dislike because it is the flavor of most toxins? Protip: it's not sour. Hoppy beers literally taste toxic and a big part of their popularity is insecure people trying to appear mature/masculine, as is demonstrated by >>9787504

I'm not a fan of their White to be honest - I've had very inconsistent experiences with it. Wits don't seem to be popular in the States in general.
>>9787801
I wouldn't call KBS a meme per se, but it's definitely in the overhyped spectrum. It's a very solid BBA stout, but there are others that are better, like Bourbon County Stout.
>>9788007
I love Central Waters tho. Their I've had their BBA stout and barleywine, and Cassian Sunset. Been thinking about trying Satin Solitude.

Is Fat Tire White just a wit version of Fat Tire or a new brew entirely?

>>9787550
It's what a lot of breweries mean when they say "wild ale" as well. It's not really a meme because they're hardly common beers.

Continuing off my last post, what are some great no-gimmicks stouts? Not overly chocolate-y or coffee-flavored or aged or whatever, just nice and roasty. Think pic related (Castle Danger's George Hunter) or Badger Hill's Foundation, if you've had those

Bent Paddle is good but overpriced most of the time--I just get a growler whenever I'm in Duluth because it's a bit cheaper.

Grapefruit is a super common flavor in IPA. The most widely distributed grapefruit-forward one I can think of is Ballast Point's Grapefruit Sculpin (which is overpriced) but Fresh Squeezed from Deschutes fits the bill too and they're fairly widely available. Whereabouts are you? Region helps a lot with these things

Can anyone recommend literature for someone who knows fuck all about beer? Whenever I go buy beer I tend to choose based on nationality and environment of origin, and I'm intrigued by the great variety in taste, texture, etc. beer has to offer. I feel like I'm missing out on fascinating stuff by not educating myself on the subject.

The historical and cultural origins of various styles of beer seem like they'd be just as important as the actual composition and brewing techniques, so I'll take pretty much any recommendations you guys have.

Don't know about mushroom beer, but here's a tried and true recipe for cock ale
from The Compleat Housewife, 1739:

>Take ten gallons of ale, and a large cock, the older the better; parboil the cock, flay him, and stamp him in a stone mortar till his bones are broken (you must craw and gut him when you flay him); then put the cock into two quarts of sack, and put it to three pounds of raisins of the sun stoned, some blades of mace, and a few cloves; put all these into a canvas bag, and a little before you find the ale has done working, put the ale and bag together into a vessel; in a week or nine days time bottle it up; fill the bottle but just above the neck, and give the same time to ripen as other ale.

I say we change the description for Shit Tier. It's fine to call out normies, but a noticeable portion of craft beer is being owned by the big guys now. Look at Four Peaks and Anheuser-Busch. They still make fine beer, they were just bought out.

It can be shit for other reasons, but Leinenkugal is at the very least mediocre if you focus on taste, as you should.

It was one of the tastiest pale ales I've ever had. Not overly bitter or hopsy, a little bit fruity, tasted a bit like citrus and nectarine, and it was very fresh tasting. It also had an undertone of toffee. It paired well with the nice weather and a day at the beach.

That's a fair point. The trouble is that a lot of breweries don't bother making the distinction. The same is true of barleywines. Someone picking up Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot and expecting something like a malt forward english barleywine is in for a very rude awakening.

Tried a few new beers tonight

>pic related, just a taster
A solid imperial stout, but I feel like it was overhyped. I only had a taster of it, though

>Beaver Island Tip-Up
Smoky-ass winter warmer. Nice and malty. It was decent

>Fulton Specter
Fulton is good at IPAs but their NEIPA just tasted like Two Hearted

Not that Two Hearted is bad

But Two Hearted is a lot cheaper
