Not my pic, but tried this the other day. When it warmed up it tasted really wine like. It was good though

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not. I get you guys drink more obscure speciality beers for the taste, but do you guys drink to get drunk? Seems really expensive.

>>12526007
I do it all the time, especially on specialty beers.
>seems really expensive
I have a p low tolerance and donate blood often so it's sustainable for me.

>>12526007
Not really. If I want to get drunk I'll have a bottle of gin or bourbon ready for me after a nice bottle of beer

>>12525940

This is without a doubt the best thing to cook rabbit in. Anyone who disagrees sucks cock as a preference.

>>12526007

Most speciality beers are bad for getting drunk on. Sure I might start with one but I'd go for a cheap easy to drink lager to get drunk.

>>12526007
Think about it like this, if you cut out your friends and never go outside and only drink at home every night, you're actually saving quite a bit of money on the long term horizon. Doing things in the outside world can cost quite a bit of money.

>>12526007
pic related was 10/10 and at £12 costs as much as an entry level wine, so really it's not that expensive.
i could easily polish off two bottles of it.

For some reason if I take more than 1 beer in the evening I sleep very badly. For this reason I very rarely get over that limit. It completely changed our I consumed alcohol, so now I'm only in it for trying things that taste nice.

>>12525940
best lambic I've tried

>>12526071
They have this at my shop, I'll try to buy one next time.

>>12526844
get it while you can, they don't brew it anymore.
they do a raspberry one instead which i am going to try soon.
if i see the cherry one again i am going to get a bottle for christmas, it's really dark, rich and plummy, but still a bit sour like a Rodenbach. great beer for winter.

What's your favorite cheap beer?

>>12527745
They're completely different flavors. Most people I know who like IPAs don't like sours, and vice versa.

>>12527794
its not about the flavor. its the fact that its a "specialty" beer

For me, it's the toilet high life

>>12526007

Chicken and egg thing but yeah. And yes, to get BEYOND drunk.

>>12527799
No one cares but you

>>12526103
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA where are your lombardi trophys? How can you have ZERO, what a shit team.

Not really sours, but I just got a bunch of bottles from Tired Hands and they are all tart and funky.

>>12526007
I used to drink one a day with dinner but I've given that up to get drunk with friends every Friday. I probably drink 250ml top shelf whiskey (or a 6 pack) a week which is not that expensive. When you consider the cost of pub drinking it's cheap.
When we were all poorer you'd just start with nice stuff and then move to shit spirit mixers.

I don't like most sours. They are disgusting and taste like vomit. I've only had two sours that tasted not like vomit, but ok... I have nothing more to add.

Big bad baptista is one of the best beers i ever had. I guess it was pretty boozey, though. Only complaint i can make. When tbe brewer knows what they're doing Mexican chocolate-themed stouts are like the perfect dessert beer

>Go to gastropubs with the lads and try out whatever they have on tap and some french fries or whatever

>Mostly drink cheapo stouts and IPAs that costs an extra 50 cents per liter bottle comapred to the regular stuff if I'm home drinking alone/with the gf and don't have any of my own stuff on hand

I like beer in general. I can appreciate good stuff for what it is, but if you think I'm above chugging Steel Reserve in the back seat of a car, you're mistaken.

>>12527851

>>12525919
I visit a bar in Brussels each year just to drink this, have for the past 8 years. My all time favourite beer. I'm sure I can order it online, but it just wouldn't be the same.

>>12528609
One of my favorite beers too

>>12527745
I guess I like IPA's now :^)

>>12527745

Someone is mad he doesn't any taste. Sours are the opposite of IPAs in every regard

>>12526964

don't let the fact pretty much only black people buy/drink this shit turn you off to it, it's actually very good. it's not even much of a malt liquor desu, they only put it on the bottle and sell it in glass 40oz's so blacks buy it, it's by far their most profitable market. why whites haven't caught on to this beer i have no idea.

is there even a better readily available sour than pic related? i'm genuinely curious.

>>12526964
old style

>>12529038
I've never seen this, what's it like?

>>12529082
it's a highly acclaimed euro beer, i believe they do sell it in some US bottleshops but at a huge markup ($100+ bottle US compared to like €20-30 in the EU)
it's a very, VERY good fruit lambic. world class easily. STRONG stonefruit on the palate but has every marking of a standard cantillon lambic. cobweb, horseblanket, sourness, but everything is entirely balanced by the ripe apricot. according to their website they use 300g ripe bergeron apricot per litre of fou' foune, which is an absolute insane amount.

it's in the top 25 beers overall on BA and honestly deserves it more than any other euro/sour brew
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/388/5281/
not trying to overhype this (or any other cantillon brew) but for the love of lourdes try it if you ever see it

>>12526964
coors banquet. good enough for sam elliot, good enough for me

>>12529038

I have never tried this one. I've had a rose de gambrinus from cantillon and it was very nice. I hope I can find the foufoune one day.

>>12528609
I like the cherry flavor.

https://discord.gg/vYYdkKg

>>12528609

I like it too, but this is not my favorite flanders red.

this one >>12527533 or pick related probably is.

So we've got 4 of these left in the store after I bought one last week. It's the Oud Beersel Framboise, a young and old lambic mix with raspberries thrown into the vat or whatevs.

I've only had a handful of beer in the past 3 years that were this old and came with almost 10% sediment in the bottle, two others being a couple of barleywine style ales aged in a couple of different wine barrels, worst beers I've ever tasted on par with Grimes by Stone. The other was the Yeastie Boys Tea Leaf IPA by Adnams plc, Sole Bay Brewery.

Website says these things have a shelf life of 4 years, and this bottle hear says it's best before Feb. 27, 2016.
Am going die?

>>12526007
if i'm planning on drinking a lot i'll generally beer that's less than 6%, which is also generally cheaper than what you would term speciality beers

>>12525919
Sad shit.

>>12527787
I would drink that so hard.

anyone else enjoy the modern sweet kriek like Bellevue or is it just me

>>12527787
A whole 5.09 for that, what a deal for some gay agenda. Must be a San Francisco treat.

>>12529038
i've not had this one, but 3 fonteinen is always available in my town in one of the three faggy hispster bottle shops.
they sell some good stuff, but mostly it's the same old 'too cool for you' overpriced shit with nonsensical labels, if you know what i mean.

>>12529828
i'm not even that keen on the timmermans or lindemans sweetened lambics.
bellevue doesn't even taste like a lambic beer to me.

>>12529929
The fact that you know the names of them speaks enough.

Are people down with the quick / kettle sour? Most of what has been posted are lambics or geuze, but any love for the simple power of lactic sour?

>>12526964
colt 45

>>12530020
what's your point? they are some of the most famous brands of lambic beer.

>>12530020

Not him but I've tried the tinermans kriek because I loved their goudenban barrel aged and honestly it is way too sweet for me.

>>12528609
>posts a travel story about shit sold in grocery stores all over.

>>12529038
Readily availble...

>>12529929
Yeah I know the sweeter ones like Bellevue and lindemanns are far from traditional, I just enjoy the sweet cherry taste and sour kick. I find the more traditional oude krieks just too musty and flat. Lindemanns Isn't strong enough, Bellevue has the 5%, nice sour cherry taste and not too sweet or sour. The Belgian beer pub in my city has Bellevue on tap, it's heaven. Any other sweet krieks worth trying?

To anyone travelling through Copenhagen airport, please try this one. Easily in my top 5

do you drink beer with a straw as well ?

>>12525919
sours are the best summer beers. Truly refreshing. Pic related was nice. Hibiscus flower should be used more often in beers btw, the ones I've had with that ingredient have all been very nice.

>>12527784
I like that strong and malty beer. Highland Queen is even better though and the same price where I live.

Was in Wisconsin today and snagged a 4 pack of this and serendipity. I think being on the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota is the best place to live for beer

>>12533194

That would be Belgium

>>12530056
Kettle sours are so one dimensional. You have one and you've had them all.

Had this one last night, genuinely tastes like nothing I've ever had before. Hints of mint, strawberry and medicinal root beer. I bought two more cans immediately after this to share with other people.

>>12525919

Dear Canada,

Moosehead is shit, I honestly thought it was something that you just give Americans as a joke until I saw a bar full of people drinking it on hockey night.

>>12534216
Been there. Prefer the states

>>12526007
I wouldn't get drunk on expensive beer because the country I live has very low income on average but the prices of beer are the same, probably wouldn't do so even if I was rich though

the more drunk you get, the less you appreciate taste thus making it a waste of money to drink good beer drunk

I'm drinking a hungarian neipa right now and I don't know where the distain for neipas comes from

or even the ipa memes in general, is it just cause they're associated with beer """hipsters"""

>>12536576
It's just a couple dweebs shit posting really

Are there any equivalents to John Smith's Extra Smooth, commonly available in continental Europe? (Poland, more precisely)

My friend is one of those "all alcohol is shit, and people only drink to get drunk" types. What beer do I give him to prove him wrong?

>>12536755
this:
>>12528609

>>12536755
A nice wheat. Either a hefe or a Belgian wit. Both have unique flavors to them and catch people off guard who claim to dislike beer

>>12536755
none, because barely anyone will enjoy beer if they haven't built a palate for it.

>>12536755
it's true to some extend that he'll need to build a pallet for him, what he responds to best will probably be random but ipas are probably safest

make sure it's fresh maybe on tap if you can

>>12536755
universally I've found people who think this way just have very low bitterness tolerances especially from roasty malts, get them something either sweet or tart, Founder's Roebus or even Hoegaarden is a good starting point

>>12527327
I wish I could get more boulevard than their wheat and amber. Rye on rye on rye is so good.

>>12529830
It's a Chicago brewery, Illunimated. They have meme beer names, including brony.

>>12525940

Brother?

Not a big sour fan, admittedly I haven't tried too many though. Not drinking much this year because I haven't worked all year but I have a case of dark wheat beers carbonating in the basement right now and a batch of mead fermenting in the spare room.
Any anons tried pic related? Was it good?

>>12539489
I'd guess it's similar to sapporo. Theres not a whole lot of variation in Japanese macros. They are easily the best in Asia though. Those zipper heads cant brew beer to save their lives

wow these really are bad

>>12539489
it just tastes like another light lager macrobrew. it's not bad tho.

IPAs are often hoppy and bitter, the things that people who dislike beer hate the most.

>>12540802
I like beer fine but most IPAs are just going full retard trying to be as bitter as possible.

>>12540802

I like to give them a stout, it's qualities are so different to a regular lager (which most people associate beer to be), that often times they are pleasantly surprised.

If they like wine and whiskey, then maybe go for an IPA or a Belgian red, since they are accustomed to intense flavours.

>working at a bottle shop and constantly drinking sours for a couple of years just straight up gave you acid reflux
>cant drink sour beer or white wine anymore

Does Fierce Beer or Anarchy have any good beers?

>>12539524
stfu thery're fine

>>12540814
Not really. Maybe a decade ago that was true but balance has become extremely important now. Hell the popular as fuck neipa has almost no bitterness to it and is like drinking a smoothie

Just picked these up

I just realised, we have ginger beer but I've never seen galangal beer.
Anyone tried making this?
