dead meme

>>17203805
It's an old meme, but it checks out
Also, this is how IPAs have gone. Fruit and beer is disgusting

>>17203805
What is it with craft beer companies being run by politics-obsessed leftists?

>>17207523
Probably because it increases sales?!

>>17207523
because intelligent and educated people tend to lean to the left. Conservatism is basically liberal and progressive positions from twenty years ago, that's why conservatism or being right wing is the running gag of political stupidity in human history.

american microbreweries and their meme ipas etc are all undrinkable pisswater

How much are those cans? A 0.330ml beer is already a big deterrent for me as a consumer.

>>17208203
Fatso

>>17208351
No, just German, lardman.

>>17208203
usually about 330 or 440 mls. The 330s usually go for about 5 bucks a can, and the 440s go for around 10 bucks. Depends on the flavor.

>>17208101
It does? I thought people do it just because they want to, as politics is a big part of their identity and so it must be reflected in their business. I doubt that making beers political actually increases sales.

There's a section of my booze store that has a whole wall of shit like that. They're all so try-hard I can't even remember one from the other.
At a certain point wouldn't it just make sense to name it something borderline illegal and just put a picture of 9/11 on the bottle? How else are you going to stand out?

>>17208435
This is how you stand out. Be as plain and unpretentious as possible.

>>17207523
Mild alcoholic drinks such as beer are a staple of the perfidious leftist. I've no idea why, although I wager it has to do something with their cosmopolitan decadence, their oversocialized personality and a perceived sense of superiority - the type of unshaven New York box-apartment tenant who scoffs at the ordinary table-beer and then goes on self-righteous tangents about the importance of head on hoppy IPAs or some other asinine nonsense. They remind me of wine snobs in a way, even if considerably more prole-esque.

It's only natural, thus, that they'd try to take part in the industry which produces the product of their obsession whilst trying to shoehorn their "own unique personality" or lack thereof in the process.

was walking through the cringe beers yesterday and the one that stuck out to me looked like pic related

Because it's a low quality rip off of a famous American brand

progressivism and a child's palate

checks out

>>17208497
this has actually become my regular recently, love it

>>17208455
lactose sours appeal to the child's palate

You could sit here all day listing every micro brew IPA. There all meme shit beers for faggy ass hipster queers

>>17208503
this whole thread is based around the idea of left leaning liberals making meme craft beers, so I'm not sure what "checks out" for you here.

I'm a left leaning progressive, I just don't like meme beers with artificial colors, flavors and a shiny packaging. If disliking meme beers qualifies me for having a "child's palate", so be it.

pic related, a real beer

New England style hazy IPAs that look like orange juice are delicious. That they trigger the chuds with their colorful labels is just a bonus.

>>17208545
idk man, a lot of progressive men strike me as manchildren, that's why

also I don't know who's putting artificial colours in beer besides meme macroshite

don't know what you mean by 'artificial flavours' either

child's palate doesn't come from not drinking the some smoothie monstrosity, it comes from not being able to drink something that's not bland like oettinger

the only meme beer ive tasted and actually liked was a peanut butter porter

But things are getting worse, so what does that say about the intelligence of the drivers of change?

>>17208860
Non-intellectuals wouldn't understand. It isn't as simple as what is 'worse' and what is 'better'. There are challenges faced when even attempting to define these words.

>>17208870
True intellectuals understand the value of simplicity. You are a midwit who gets impressed by complexity and doesn't understand anything.

>>17208890
Overcomplication of every argument and idea is exactly the M.O. of academic leftism. People who are smarter than average enjoy the exercise of following their convoluted lines of thought because it makes them feel smart when they understand it, and they're impressed by complexity. In their eyes, the more complicated the reasoning is, the more intellectual it is. Imagine being faced with blatant societal decay as the result of your policies and your immediate response is to begin a linguistic deconstruction of the words "better" and "worse." That's the true essence of leftism.

>>17208955
>not sacrificing everything for your own amusement
Enjoy being frustrated, I suppose.

>>17208860
Aside from the fact that this >>17208870 is correct, stop listening to defeatists telling everyone that things are getting worse when probably they aren't, because things are never that simple that you can just paint them in black and white.. I'm not saying things are perfect, but "western" nations are some of the wealthiest in the world, "things" (whatever you're referring to here) aren't at all "getting worse" for us.

>>17208870
Why is it it's always dipshits that go bandying on about "intellectuals".

>>17208449
minimalism is a kind of pretentiousness.

>>17208890
>>17208992
You two delusional faggots should go to the park and fuck each other in the ass.

>>17209024
Then every can on the shelves is pretentious.

>>17209037
Nah plenty of them are just normal. Most of them, even.

>>17209030
being gay or enganging in homosexual acts are not things that are considered offensive for progressive people. I know you're trying to insult us as people because maybe your other arguments aren't as strong as your insults. Par for the course for edgy online "conservatives", so yeah, "checks out"...

>>17209083
Shut the fuck up and post faggy beer you absolute retard

>>17203805

>>17209083
Nice dissertation, faggot.

>>17208517
Damn. I remember trying this for the first time and was blown away. This was 10 years and in a punk bar that had amazing food and beer.

>>17208453
You're many trends behind. Beer snobs love authentic table beer. They tend to simply like beer. All of it. They like niche classic styles and funky yeasts n bugs. Traditional lagers are more popular than ever. The sweet, boozy ipas and sugar bomb stouts are for middle class "eat local" types and people trend chasing. You'd be surprised how chill some of those fat bearded craft beer bros can be. I've brought a few out shooting for their first time after drinking with them.

Your comments on over socialization just sound like cope.

>>17208955
Getting caught up in right vs left when the system as a whole is simply a puppet of the wealthy is peak retard. It's all a distraction. When Republicans are in power the debt still grows. When Democrats are in power Healthcare has not grown cheaper. These major, central goals of these parties are never achieved. They're all bought and paid for. The system is designed to allow it. Rotten to the core.

>>17208453
>I don't understand the appeal of something
>therefore it's leftist and fake and snob and nonsense
Been a while since I've seen cope this deep.

>>17207523
because men drink real beer, not some newage small timey bullshit from fagged up corners of crappy little cities.

>>17208161
>intelligent and educated people tend to lean to the left
you got that backwards, anon.
and just because they're educated doesn't mean they're intelligent.
they were probably educated by racists that support blm.

>>17208412
$5 more for 110ml more...

Is this proof that anybody can be rich in the US?
>>17208455
Why would anybody add extra sweetness to a sour? I know Kriek is a thing but why would you add lactose???
>>17208545
Are you a Kraut anon? Oettinger is one of the lowest tier beers you can get in Germany. The brewery pumps out alot of different style but unfortunately, most of them are subpar.

>>17208597
Do you know if they added the peanut butter taste before or after fermentation?

>>17210396
>Brewed with rich, roasty malts and a creamy, nutty addition of peanut butter for a dessert-like Porter with a chocolate peanut butter cup flavor.
based on the description i'd say before, but the way they say 'addition' makes me not so sure

>>17207523
hipsters are pseudo-socialists
although the hilarious irony of behemoth is that they're from new zealand.

>>17210383
>Oettinger is one of the lowest tier beers you can get in Germany.
actual ex-pat here, this is a bad meme invented by smaller german breweries to compete with Oettinger's superior business practices that keeps their beer as cheap as possible.
It's no better or worse than any other beer.

But there is a funny rumor we had growing up that Oettinger buys all the excess beer from other breweries and just dumps them all together. That's why some bottles of Oettinger taste "better" than others - you get a different mix of leftover beer!

>>17203805
Anything marketed by asshole celebs and musicians.

>>17210490
I'm sure the quality is fine and it won't go bad before and other standard well filtrated German beers.
It's the taste of most of their beers that bothers me. I dislike that almost all of them have a metallic hops extract taste. Oettinger might be good if you compare it to other cheap german beers.

>>17210422
It has an ABV of 5.7%, which is pretty high for a porter iirc. Some non-grain sugars might have been added before fermantation that boosted the alcohol content and added additional peanut butter flavors?!

probs true in all honesty, and its why hypocrisy of the left is so bitter and so latched onto by conservitards. leftists love to talk about labor and the proletarian struggle while they sit in their gilded west or east coast apartments, using their triple monitor desktop to choose new investments after a long day of desk work provided by some 4-year degree totally paid off by mom and dad and then some (the parental sponsorship is the sweetest socialism unless you actually like your parents and have no problem living with them to help them around the house and for their company, then ew wtf is wrong with you loser). but yes, the intelligent and enlightened leftist loves to talk down to people who actually build and create real things. you know, like real laborers who by leftist standards are retarded children that aren't capable of sentient thought. i went from working in construction to being a SWE and i see this so often that it's lost its novel lustre.

i like a yulli's
wildflower is where it's at for me though

>>17211341
Based. Those educated, "intelligent" leftists are essentially fighting for rights that they're not benefitting from. In the worst case, it makes the lifes of the proletarians worse off. What I find most entertaining about those people is that they often claim to know more about socialism than i.e. people who lived in the GDR or USSR. One has to hope for their financial misfortune in order for their kids to understand that whatever they've been taught is a sham.

>>17203906
Are you an OP by any chance?

>>17211455
made me chuckle

>>17209445
Get real, moron.
Pilsner is the quintessential beer. IPA and lagers are for gays

>>17203906
Dubs and this faggot has to kill himself

>>17213110
I bet you also believe the Nazis were left wing socialists because they have "socialist" in their name.

>>17209445
you seem like a total retard (or american?)

>>17213159
What a lardman-esque response. Pls buy more $5 IPAs and revel in your moral/mental superiority.

>>17213156
re-roll

>>17213161
There was another thread about americans judging beer styles based on their own domestic exposure to them. I think this might be the case.

drink shit US interpretations of EU beer styles -> believe all beers of that style to be bad
