I say this in every thread.

Natural Ice. Get it as cold as possible, and pour it into a chilled mug. The colder the better. Cold, cold, cold.

Eat a big, warm meal like some Tex-Mex and wash it down with a few of these.

Someday I'm going to own a deep freeze specifically for beer mugs.

>>4105813

how much is your welfare check for on Tuesday?

>>4105813
How prole, at least get a cheap lager you can enjoy the taste of at normal fridge temps.

I've been drinking lots of Doppelbocks, weienbocks, bocks, and schwarzbier lately.

Pig's Eye.

6.99 for 12 beers. If you get the ice they're even 5.9%

>>4105808
Abbey Ales

>>4105813
I like you and the way you made those two guys butthurt.

>>4105813
if you're going for the ice cold beer route, go for negra modelo with salt and lime instead

i mean, everyone has their favorite shitty lager. but natty? really?

just picked up the Smuttynose winter ale. good stuff.

>>4106303
> everyone has their favorite shitty lager.

Turn in your neckbeard card and leave /ck/ immediately. It is called a "session beer".

Feral Hop Hog- had one of these for the first time a couple of days ago, it's really good. They also do a pretty decent wit.

Lagunitas Sucks

Hazelnut Brown Nectar from rogue

>>4105813
was at a "party" and these people all had shitty natural ice and keystone. tasted like dirty water. brought in some plain old moosehead and they were shitting themselves about how strong it was and then tried to claim their dirty water was more "manly".

Lagunitas Brown Shugga'

>>4105813
one of the best beers ever had were these pony bottles of miller genuine draft. buddy and me were working on my car, it was fucking hot, even after dark, and we had a cooler of them on ice. got done for the night and popped them open. best fucking beer ever.

although we did try same ones another night on ice, no where near as good as when we were exhausted and hot.

Have any of you tried the St. Bernadus brewing company?

>>4106365
1/10 I replied

>>4106306
i laughed way too hard at this

>>4106383
great stuff, they are a spin off of westvleteren

>>4106413
oh really did not know that.
also love me a good Samuel Smith.

420
or any other good IPA
terrapin is also good

>>4106434

spinoff is not entirely accurate but they originally contract brewed beer for St. Sixtus

>>4106474
and their St. Bernie 12 = Westy 12

There really isn't much of a difference, the recipe is the same

>>4106509

I was just being autistic and clarifying

>>4106292
Thanks.

>>4106303
>but natty? really?
Yes, really.

>>4106357
You're a faggot.

I remember being 16.

>>4106519
Sorry, I was only referring to the particular beers, your post indeed was more correct

>>4106533
0/10 weak

Here's another fun fact about St. Bernardus. Their witbier recipe comes from Pierre Celis, who brought the style back from the dead and created Hoegaarden.

>>4106566
So basically it's the only surviving hoegaarden, because hoegaarden certainly isn't the same anymore.

>>4106334
DELICIOUS.

Sierra Nevada Narwhal.

>>4106509
The yeast strain is different...

Bacchus Frambozenbier.

ok enough of this super sweet belgian stuff

time for a nice refreshing spaten

>>4106572
Actually, it's not. If you want original Hoegaarden, look for two beers called Celis White. One is brewed by the Michigan Brewing Company and is pretty easy to find in the US. The other is brewed by Van Steenberge in Belgium. That one is called Celis White in Europe and Ertveld's Wit in North America. They're brewed to the recipe that Celis made when he recreated his original Hoegaarden recipe in the US, and I think they both had his approval.

>>4106365

I used to work on a vineyard, tending vines. After a 10-hour work-day out in the sun, ice cold old mill was the most refreshing thing out there. I don't even know how it works, most beverages I drink warm, but cold, cheap lager after a long hot day just hits a spot that no other beverage can touch.

I got gifted some Smithwicks, it's good.

Extremely novice beer drinker. Only started really enjoying them. Best I've tried is a Crown Lager (which probably says something about how new I am). Any recommendatons?

>>4106592

Belgian yeasts are workhorses, and the brewers generally add some form of simple sugar which ends up in a beer that is drier (containing less residual sugar) than most other styles

You are perceiving the beer wrongly, or haven't had good examples of Belgian beer

>>4106269
Cannot my nigga hard enough. Lately, for me:

>Leffe Blonde
>Unibroue...anything. It's all God tier.
>Wiesers small batch whiskey
>Dieu Du Ciel Peche Mortel

I live in Toronto, and we have a fantastic beer selection at our bars. I love it.

>>4106725
>tfw sipping a la fin du monde

>>4106320
I drove all over today trying to find some of that. All I heard was "maybe next week." Knowing the distributors around here they're probably sitting on it in hopes they can sell more of their old beers first.

Lomza.
It's Polish syrup.

...But seriously, Perla or Okocim

>>4106725
I moved to Gatineau recently and the beer selection here is not only a lot cheaper but a lot better.

Plus, if I can't get something here I just cross the bridge to the LCBO.

>>4106732

>tfw la fin du monde on tap
Truly a God tier ale, as far as I am concerned. Trois Pistols is a close second.

>>4106756
From the actual beer stores, you are correct there. I don't find the same at bars, however. Downtown Montreal is probably the only place that can rival a place in Toronto like Bar Volo, or similar.

As a Torontonian I must ask: While I understand you folks in Quebec don't have the same restrictions we do, is your selection there that much better? I didn't personally find it to be cheaper by much when I was in Montreal a few years ago, but I only went to a 7-11, really.

>>4106795

I moved here from Ontario a couple years ago, and I have to say macro beer at most stores can be 1/2 the price compared to across the river.

Because Ontario is restricted by LCBO/Beer Store distribution, I find they don't have many microbrews (except on tap). Because a microbrewery could sell small quantities to a couple stores, as opposed to being required to supply all LCBO/Beer Stores for consistent inventory, you do find lots of microbrews in Quebec.

I don't really go to bars anymore so I can't say much about beer selection in Quebec bars. I know the Rebel House in Toronto had an awesome selection and was impressed with many bars there too.

>>4106670
Thanks for the help, guys.

>>4106825
>Half the price

My God. Bay Street, nay, most of Canada would be unproductive if we were making what we are here in the city with 1/2 the price for alcohol. I knew it was cheaper, but that not much.

I am familiar with Unibroue and Dieu Du Ciel, all of which have amazing beers. What Quebec microbreweries should I check out?

This.

Tastes better in the 22oz too.

>>4106582
so jelly, my local beer joint had it on tap last time i was in but had just ran out.
>but mah nurwul

right now i am drinking ranger like a faggot because its the best beer i can get at the gas station.

had Stone's vertical epic last weekend. well some of it. shit was cash

>>4106448
southfag yeah? GA or AL maybe? SC?

>>4106988

Why not Double Dead Guy? I think its far better than Dead Guy.

tomorrow i am doing labor for Surly Smoke

how delightful

It's still SN Celebration season, love this beer, I'm probably going to grab another sixer soon.

My local bevmo just restocked on Duvel, had to grab a bottle of that too, classic.

Blue Moon
Shock Top Raspberry Wheat
Corona

>>4107054
Enjoy your diabetes

>>4107056
I'll get that from soda before beer.

>>4107033
muh nuhgga

celebration is SN's finest offering. really, a diamond in the SN rough. Check out Shiner holiday cheer too. another great winter seasonal from an otherwise lackluster brewery.

tldr celebration and cheer are diamond dozen

I'm 19 years old, a mere child. I can not drive to the store with my own automobile under insurance which I purchased, pay with my own money, to buy a drink, to drive back to my apartment that I rent by myself, and consume it, because I am nothing more than a child.

Mostly Chai tea with honey and half and half.
Sometimes peppermint
if not tea then water

>>4108736

You drink some weird beer, anon.

>>4108742
I might need to go to sleep I think.
I noticed the beer in the image but managed to skip over

and
>Any beers

Mfers,
go buy a bottle of gulden draak. You will thank me in your minds.

>>4106694
alright maybe "sweet" wasnt the right word. i was drunk when i posted it. maybe "high gravity fruity" might have been more fitting

>>4108736
>CHAI TEA
god damnit
chai means tea
stop this shit

>>4108761
does it really? the more you know

>tfw when someone gets upset over nothing

Forgot to take your SSRI inhibitors, anon-kun?

hello guys, I am in a bit of a predicament and this seems like the right thread since we're talking about liquor. (Didn't feel like making a new thread about it.) So with new years I will be staying at my grandmothers because she's ill and we get along great, but she fucking hates it when people drink for some reason. So is there a way i can get a bit tipsy and enjoy new years a bit without her finding out? Mind you, the woman is like a bloodhound.

To keep the thread going; I'm drinking some chai too, just the regular earl grey though nothing fancy.

>>4106582

fuuuuuucccckk dude I walk to that place every week

>>4108793

Oh god, I know that feel. Forget it, she will find out. Unless, of course, you have your own room, in which case yeah pretend to go to bed, turn out the lights, and glug from your hidden flask. Make sure it stays in your pajama pockets and keep it on your person at all times.

>>4108793
you should do what my alcoholic mother always does
waterbottle of vodka if your a real man
if not warm up that coffee

>>4108796
Well I was planning that but we'll be watching the fireworks together and I wanted to drink some at that point, but I think you're right, if I drunk then and there chances are I might stumble over something.
>>4108799
that does sound appealing but is there something (else) I could mix it with to mask the smell? ie: juice or something?

Appreciate the help

>>4108817
Coffee amd Bailey's.

>>4108829
I've never had Bayley's before, is it creamy and sweet like people keep telling me and does it leave a smell like vodka or regular beer?

>>4108840
Creamy and sweet, minimal alcohol smell. You can drink it straight with no problem. It'll just look like coffee with cream.

>>4108848
Now that I think about it, it would be fucking hilarious to make her a cup of joe and get tipsy myself, she can't get up and come in the kitchen anyway. Of course I can always eat something like cheese & onion crisps or spicy reggae chicken with it just to be safe.

Thank you for your help! :)
