How about them German lagers?

>>14451009
How about a nice Hefeweizen

I havent seen the Founders Solid Gold in a while but they used to have it in 15 packs.

>>14451062
Hefes are the absolute tits on a hot day. Too bad they give me the shits the next day. Currently dinking Stella solstice lager. Avoid it at all costs. Shit sucks

>>14451133
The old macro brews really are good lagers. There's a craft brewery down the street from me that makes a beer like that and it's much cheaper than all of their other stuff lol.

Can any Czech bros weigh in on this one, are they considered good? They’re the only Pilsner at the local grocery and I was thinking of getting some.

I got this a couple of times. Its sort of a copy of Weihenstephaner Original but its actually the same price and you get more ounces of beer due to the 16 oz cans.

>>14451199
It cant compare to pilsners from american craft breweries because they hop those things up and Pilsner Urquell seems bland by comparison since it doesnt have much of a hop presence.

Not lager related but I noticed Duvel in the US where I'm at is very expensive Anywhere from 16-17+ bucks for a 4 pack. You can get a 6 pack of Goose Island Matilda which is the same or similar style for $10.99 although its not as easy to find as the Duvel which pretty much every liquor stores has.

>>14451199
If you like your beer very bready tasting it's pretty good, if you like a lighter or hoppier beer avoid it. It's pretty much the most popular beer in Czech (though Kozel has been catching up lately)

>>14451201
I love Jack's Abbey. Wish they still did their Leisure Time Lagered Wheat.

>Try fancy cool kid craft beers, local breweries, imports, just a shit ton of different beers of every style
>Always end up circling back to Guinness Draught at my go to
Are my taste buds just shit?

>>14451328

guinness is still good but i prefer the higher abvs for bang for buck. i regularly drink 8-12 abv and grabbed an extra stout tall boy for some sip.

>>14451347
I like Imperial stouts too but they feel like more of a "special occasion" beer if that makes any sense.

>>14451328
naw, you know what you like. I buy tons of craft brews just to try but I'm the same way, I'll always have the favourite that I buy more than anything else

>>14451199
I really like it as a good pilsner, especially when you consider they're the original brewery behind the style of beer

>>14451009
Anyone that drinks this is highly likely to beat their wife or girlfriend

>>14451062
I brewed this bad boy last month

the altbier is in the fermentor

>>14451009
inexpensive and satisfying

>>14453644
What makes it cloudy like that?

>>14451009
This a really good lager.

>>14451062
Ayy nigger

>>14451128
Paulaner lager? How is it, I only buy the "normal" one, how does it compare? Is it made of wheat as well?

>>14453757
I guess its unfiltered

>>14453652
So would this be considered top fermenting yeast?

>>14453757
that was a hefeweizen

>>14453953
ales are top fermenting, yes.

>>14453787
Helles is a style that is always just made just from barley. It's like a much more malty and less bitter pilsener. Nothing special or worth to try if you can't get it easily.

>>14454025
But does it taste like the wheat paulaner or no wheat?

>>14453644
>that gorgeous schnitzel
Teach me oh wise one

>>14451199
all the major czech lagers are at the very least decent
czechia might just have the best macro lagers in the world on average, I often buy Budweiser Budvar (the one the American Bud stole its name from) cause it's rarely more expensive than bland big brand shit like Carlsberg and is consistently quite nice

>>14454040
No, it tastes different obviously. Classic lager vs wheat ale.

>>14454040
most of the taste in a Hefeweizen actually comes from the yeast
a lager won't taste similar, because it uses different yeast - this one is also not made of wheat, so it won't have anything in common with the normal Paulaner

>>14454061
>>14454065
Interesting, this descrives my taste for beer:
wheat beer: |||||||||||||||||
regular beer:|||

But anyways paulaner is one of my favourites, cause I like wheat beer, I tried their black beer, it was trash for my taste, but I'm willing to give paulaner's lager a try anyways, but 2bh I don't see that paulaner often if at all.

no one outside of Oregon, Washington or Colorado drinks IPAs. hope are for faggot hipsters pretending bitterness is good.

>>14454114
If you like the Hefeweizen, make sure to try Erdinger, Ayinger, Hofbrau, and Weheinstephaner.

>>14454114
try some belgian beers if you like wheat
quadrupels are my favorite for more of a winter warmer, belgian-style wheat beers (witbiers) are also nice

>>14454146
My nigga

>>14454132
I've threid the one in your pic, I liked it, more than any non wheat beer, but I preffer a wheat paulaner or a red franziskaner. I believe you and me have already talked about it in past threads

>>14454146
can you point me to the specific beers?

>>14454305
Paula era is a damn good beer, as far as Belgians go the Orval i just posted is my favorite, a little sour and probably the most unique of the Trappist ales

>>14454330
You just reminded me of another wheat beer that I like.

>>14454040
helles are lagers which ferment at low temperatures and do they’re clear and crisp in flavor. wheat beers taste like cloves and have lots of banana because they are ales that ferment at higher temperatures. different yeast strains and types produce different flavors at different temperatures. helles=lager which are clean and crisp. weissbier=ale which are fruity and hazy.

>>14454305
I like Bernardus for quadrupels and the most popular / easiest to find witbier brand is called Hoegaarden

>>14454055
>Budweiser Budvar
Fuck yeah. Very good beer.

Kölsch is the best lageresque summer beer and it also has the best beer delivery system ever invented

>>14451009

>>14454051
it's just pork tenderloin medallions that you beat into 2-3cm thick. Then bread with flower egg and plain breadcrumbs and fry. it's fairly straightforward but you have to have experience with frying.

>>14455004
>but you have to have experience with frying
Put schnitzel in oil and wait until it has a nice colour. You need no experience at all. Most difficult part is to coat the schnitzel in breadcrumbs properly.

>>14455017
You want to know the temperature of the oil before dropping the pork in though. And the ideal oil.

>>14451009
I drank a 40 of steel reserve last night and my heart was beating irregularly and every organ hurts. I was only .10 bac. Why the fuck is in steel reserve?

Budweiser is the best lager.

>>14455046
Ideal oil would be a whole package of clarified butter, but nobody wastes so much money on fat.

>>14451009
Not easy, we got like 200 different local beer brands, go in and pick one of each, try them and then decide :D

>>14455076
Could you identify second down third across for me? With the red heart on the white flower?

>>14455076
Oh whoa it's like a standard Midwest liquor store

>>14454114
My absolute favorite hefeweizens are Andechser or Augustiner. Sadly can’t find any of them here in the US

>>14455076
>be me
>live in middle of nowhere
>can only get a handful of craft beers in local grocery/gas station
>have to drive two hours to the nearest craft beer selection

Not that I don’t like the standards (PBR, Coors, etc.) but it would be nice to have real selection sometimes...

Any winter warmer bros here? Absolute favorite beers for me. Pic related from last winter was great. Anything with mulling spices really. Blue Moon had a fantastic one two years ago but didn’t put it out last year sadly.

>>14454115
Can confirm. Live in Washington and the grocery store is nothing but IPA’s and it’s fucking annoying

>>14451009
currently sipping on one of these bad boys

>>14451199
It’s a great pils. Gotta try it

>>14455483
We should have a wheat beer thread some day. My favorite is the red franziskanner. Just what I've tried, not like I've tried many wheat beers to begin with.

>>14455518
Wheat beers are a whole league of their own, I never really liked beer until it “clicked” with my first wheat beer.

>>14451009
like it, but had a tad too much of them for tonight, one or three more paulaners and i'm out

>>14455582

>DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!

Just tried this for the first time. Goddamn.

Lagers don't get enough respect. Good job OP

>>14451009
I'm drinking a nice malty ale right now in a big fucking mug. It's tasty.

>>14455483

>>14455483

Andechser too, never had their weizen though

>>14451135

>>14453652
Do you rehydrate your yeast or just drop it in? If so do you think a yeast starter is worth for starter brews?

krusovice, its czech lager. just tastes like slightly better budweiser

>>14456050
rent free!

>>14456176
if you're a novice just use dry yeast and directly pitch it. You need to shake up the beer after you close it up initially anyway to oxygenate it. If you become more advanced you can begin to play with different cultures of yeast. I really would just stick with dry it if this is your first brew though.

>>14456050
No. Fuck you.

no one can hate all beer, there's too much variety

1795 beers are fucking great. Creamy and no bitterness what so ever. So good. I can't really think of any Czech beer per se that wasn't drinkable. You guys are based.

>>14451009
franziskaner Weissbier, give it an B+

>>14457466
>I can't really think of any Czech beer per se that wasn't drinkable
it's really kind of astonishing, isn't it? some of it you can even buy in a big plastic bottle and it's still much better than macro brands that pretend to be premium like heineken or stella

>>14456703
holy shit 'muh calories' are you a fucking faggot?

>Can any Czech bros weigh in on this one, are they considered good?
Why are only Czech able to weigh in? Are they they world's experts of beer comparisons? It''s probably the most traveled place in Eastern Europe, and is nearly 90% expats in the last 10 years. You won't hear Czech spoken in public even if you try.

>They’re the only Pilsner at the local grocery and I was thinking of getting some.
It's a pilsner? Do you like pilsners? I do. If so, you will find nothing offensive about it. Most American big brand beers are bottom filtered pilsner style beers, aka pale lagers, a Bavarian innovation. At the time Urquell, and the brands that came after in Czech's Bohemian past started their pale lager, going bottom vs top, like the Bavarians, this really light (and kind of watery) type of brew began.
Incidentally, this is also the time of Bavarian emigration to the Americas, which is why Anheiser, Busch, and even the great Mexican beers are in this same style.

Will you like Urquell specifically? Telll me if you think imported or improperly stored beef is delicious all of the time! Beer is sometimes skunky if not right, so buying a fragile beer from halfway around the world? Ehh, your mileage will vary. I think most people who drink this beer are reliving their fun in Prague, since its bee so hot to go to since the Velvet Revolution and their departure from communism. It's a little charmer of a foodie town, with disney storybook intact historical buildings that weren't wrecked by the Nazis.

>>14455772
No pol posting in my thread. Tried this last night, was pretty good.

>>14455057
going to get some king of beers today, I think it's underated, bud is a really easy drinking lager. I also pop some klonopin in it and it makes for a fizzy brain cocktail. Be careful with mixing benzos and alchohol though, I have blacked out and injured myself a few times lol

>>14455796
Thanks man, I agree. I love how refreshing lagers are and theres a million different kinds so I can try something new every night. Does amber ale count as lager? Alaskan amber ale is some top notch stuff in my opinion.

>>14456703
I dont get bloated from non wheat beer. I know its NPC tier but I really enjoy ultra cold Budwiser.

>>14458265
Nah. Ale and lager are different. Ones top fermenting blah blah blah. If you're interested read up on it. Fermentation in general is actually fairly interesting

>>14458240
Are you a top or bottom?

Drinking lager right now, all from Urban Chestnut. It's a American-German brewery. I recommend German anons to check out their stuff. Drinking their Zwickel now but I have some of their lemon radler too and their #6 lager. Going to the brewery pretty soon for my bday they have a growler that keeps beer cold for up to 3 days at a time so picking up one or two of them & a bunch of other stuff. They are one of my favorite local breweries & that's saying a lot because my city has a shot ton more than most.

>>14451212
Lol almost got me

>>14458954
You can't get most (more likely none at all) American beers in Germany and the people won't buy it, because it would be 3 times the price of similar domestic beers. Only interesting American beers in general are the light beers, because we don't have that style here.

>>14451009
Blocks your path...

if the ABV of a beer is 6% does that mean that 6% of the stuff in the can/bottle is alcohol, so for instance 20ml of alcohol in a 333 ml bottle, or is it more complex than that

If you're ever in Iceland and you like IPAs, try this one
I've tried a lot of double IPAs but all of them were basically a normal IPA with more alcohol content or a little more hops. But this thing had the most brutal and in your face aroma, smell and taste of hops I've ever experiences, it was incredible. Felt more like drinking liquid flowers than beer.

>>14460472
It's exactly this. And because taxes are involved, you can be sure that the numbers are correctly.

The clove is strong. I'm not complaining though.

>>14460683
I hate IPA's

>>14461307
Because you genuinely don't like the taste or because you're sick of the trillion micro and macro breweries oversaturating the market with them?

>>14461330
It tends to be more bitter than I like but mostly because it's trendy.

>>14461355
Ok I get it
I love me a good IPA but I feel like its the FOTM beer bandwagon that everyone's been jumping on in recent years and it's kind of devaluing the whole thing

>It tends to be more bitter than I like but mostly because it's trendy.
At some point in history there weren't american grown hops, and that limited the supply or else increased the price.
When it became available, people were able to brew it, drink it more, and develop a taste for it quite a bit easier.
That said, you like what you like and I recall that IPAs were meant for long voyages (to India) to the formula was quite heavy on them, and the alcohol percent too, right?
>>14461379
>t everyone's been jumping on in recent years and it's kind of devaluing the whole thing
They're going where the market is. Big heavy high percent belgium beers, and world winners were the craze in the 90s. I just don't find IPAs for every mood or all that many food pairings. I think there's something to be said for a pilsner for it's light flavor. I'm suprised radlers aren't that big here. It took a while for grapefruit summer ales and shofferhoffer to get going, but they seem to have poofed and gone out just as fast.

I swear if that faggot from Houston is in here....

>>14461483
What would you do? Suck his cock you fag.

>>14461449
>That said, you like what you like and I recall that IPAs were meant for long voyages (to India) to the formula was quite heavy on them, and the alcohol percent too, right?
The point of IPAs was that they were ales that were exported from Britain to the colonies in India (hence the name), and in order for them to survive the weeks or months long trip they had higher alcohol content as well as more hops, since hops are naturally antiseptic.

>>14461449

Would IPA's have a higher vitamin content that other beers?

dark ale is my fave

>>14461554
Not particularly. If vitamin content is what you want you'd be better off with unfiltered of any variety of beer. Preferably unfiltered and low ABV, as ethanol impacts vitamin absorption to some degree.

>>14461554
You shouldn't be looking at beer as a source of vitamin in the first place

>>14459183
They literally have a brewery in Germany though, so it's literally a domestic. It's been fairly successful from what I've heard.

>>14451199
It’s a good pilsner especially considering the availability and price.
I don’t usually shit on craft beers, but I really hate this trend where American craft “pilsners” are hopped to hell where they essentially become IPAs. And then it costs $14 for a four-pack (and I can get a 6-pack of Urquell for $9)

>>14461572
No but I've read that beer has a surprising amount of B6 in it. I was wondering if more hopps add more vitamins.
