Try some wheat bears. Franziskaner Weissbier, Wiehenstephaner Hefe Weissbier, Konig Ludwig Weissbier.

>>5526036
Cuvée des Jacobins Rouge

I primarily drink sour ales and this is about as sour as it gets. Also has some cherry taste to it.

>>5526268
wheat beer is for casuals

>>5526384
Some people are more interested in nice beers than impressing your army-surplus-jacket-wearing riding-the-train-with-their-touring-bikes pants-just-too-short hops-fetishising faggot hipster m8s, m8.

>>5526384
Oh I bet you only drink the highest purity IPA's right you son of a bitch? People who enjoy beers, enjoy all types of beer, and guess fucking what, wheat's are great for people new to beer, much like OP very fucking clearly is. Nice contribution to the thread you goddamned cunt.

>>5526384
You realize that there are wheat beers besides Blue Moon and Hoegaarden, right?

How common is it for Americans to use the setup in pic related for their bathrooms?

I went to visit some relatives in Iowa, and got to stay in their house. They lived in a pretty small city, and had to do this because of something that had to do with their city sewage treatment.

Essentially, you had to throw the used TP in a separate bin, and then also scoop the turds back up and put them in yet another separate bin.

I've experienced the TP thing in hotels in Cyprus, Spain and Greece, but the scoop thing came as a complete shock and I thought they were joking.

Could some American shed some light on this? How prevalent is it?

>>5526444
Despite what the proles are saying, that is some pretty fucking stupid reply rite there.

>>5526457
Only messicans throw their shit covered paper into the trash. Murricans throw it into they toilet. You can tell a wetback from a messican murrican that way.

>>5526463
My ex's family did that shit. Claimed that tp would clog up the toilet despite the fact it is biodegradable.

>>5526455

fuck off fagit

DUBS GET

>>5526457
Not sure if you're trolling or not.
Is this a three seashells type deal?

berlinerweisse is legit, don't listen to anyone that tells you different

in fact, don't listen to anyone who shits on beer you like. If you like it, that's all that matters. As long as it doesn't have "light" in the name, it's beer, and it will get you drunk, that's what matters

...and even THEN, Keystone Light is not a bad beer

fuck the haters

>>5526488
>Keystone Light is not a bad beer

>>5526488
Keystone tastes like what i'd image sock water would taste lik

>>5526488
Ah Keystone Light, the official beer of Beer Pong.

>>5526481
No it's legit, americans actually do this.

Something to do with their diet containing no vegetables except fries and their sewerage system clogs up.
It's not something they like to admit, just like the real reason behind the pleb tier 115 volt mains supply.

Also James squire is bretty good beer

>>5526515
Forgot pic lol I feel so american now

>>5526457
Man, what the FUCK?

American and I never heard of the scoop thing. I'd flush the turds anyway because I DO NOT LIVE IN INDIA AND I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN MY OWN FECES.

>>5526518
See I told you they dont like to admit it.

>>5526502
did you mean natty?

>>5526525
I think you are confusing America with some second or third world country. Mexico does this filthy shit, so do many central american countries because they lack the proper sewage facilities to support flushing toilet paper and fecal mater. I have NEVER heard of this in America, and I've traveled extensively.

>>5526532
Deny until you die bro

>>5526036
try belgians.

>>5526537
Straw man. How does that work? Unless you have some proof? No? Didnt think so.

>>5526036
Ha my old bartender is one of the brewmasters at parallel and he stated up 4 winds its a great fucking beer screw anyone who disagrees

>>5526036
>Whenever I go in and ask at any store for the sour cherry beer they say "Oh why would you want that it tastes terrible" and I was curious so I checked online and found people rating it a 1-2 out of 20. Now I'm not a huge alcohol person and don't party or drink to get drunk. I enjoy the mild taste of a Lager and I really enjoy sour tasting food/fruits.

I suspect you like sweeter things than you think. If you actually like sour/fruit characteristics look for these:

Unless you have great bars around you, you'll have trouble finding these. That website has lists of good liquor stores in your state so look those up.

>>5526831
also if you go into a store that doesn't carry microbrewery beers and ask for anything fruit flavored they'll probably just give you those Budweiser margarita cans or Corona with lime

The thing is that most people don't know what actual cherry juice tastes like. They assume it's the sugary bullshit flavor they consumed as a child in a starburst pack.

So I've only pretty recently started drinking beer. So far I really love Paulaner and Erdinger weissbier. I'm looking to spread out, anyone got recommendations?

>>5526036
>according to all the experts I talked to and read about online
ignore them. as long as you have a taste that you enjoy, just enjoy it. it's still much better to know what you like than to just get 24-pack of shite to get pissed at a weekend

>>5526864
exactly, I bet if OP tried any of these
>>5526831
he'd vomit after the first sip if he's expecting a cherry soda flavor

>>5527478
and this, if you're not a beer snob you don't have to become one

anyone ever had aventinus eisbock? going to crack one open tonight with some grilled ribeyes.

>>5526036
There's nothing wrong with liking Berlinerweisses. The Lil' Red however, was a complete fucking mess of a beer. They fucked up fermentation so bad on that one. As far as I remember they skipped using brettanomyces entirely and just went with lactobacillus and some s.cerevisiae. When you ferment with lacto but not brett you have nothing to metabolize and change the shitty chlorine/fatty awful acids that are a byproduct of the lactobacillus.

Graham With, their head brewer, didn't even want to release it but was compelled to by the higher ups. Shit was fucking awful but I can't fault you for not tasting all the off flavours in it if you regularly drink Kootenay. If you're in Van, head over to Brewery Creek up on Main. They know their shit and can help you out.

Motherfuckin smoked marzens my nigga.

Wisconsin Belgian Red from New Glarus is the best sour cherry beer, and prossibly the best fruit beer of any kind

>>5528718
Stupid Redlettermedia always making me want to try their beer

Berlinerweisse ??

never heard of that might have to try it

been craving a good wheat beer or stout (too opposite spectrums i know)

know what i cant stand?? the IPA crowd (dont get me wrong I like IPA) who unless its overloaded with hops does they think its good beer. enough with the hops, already, to every microbrewer, its too much effing hops.

sigh, so many good beers out there... im thirsty as hell now

>>5528645
Aren't berliner weisse generally supposed to be fermented with just lacto and saccharomyces? I've only talked to a few people about them, a couple homebrewers and one pro brewer, but I don't think anyone mentioned using brett. I think they all did a sour mash and just saccharomyces in the fermenter. I tried making one with adding lacto in the fermenter, but IDK, it tasted like lemon juice heh.

>>5528768
Doing a sour mash is almost entirely required, and by doing so you're going to attract wild yeast that can help eat at those awful acids that produce chemical/cheesy/shit flavours. Most lacto cultures that you can pick up from Wyeast and WhiteLabs all have brett added anyway.

Again, from what I can remember Parallel 49 used a pure Lacto culture and didn't sour mash. I'm sure conditioning time is also a huge factor as well, as I think they were rushed to get it out quickly. In any case the beer was fucking awful if you had any semblance of a palate.

>>5528874

that op nigga need some cantillon in his life.

>>5528874
>cheesy
I haven't tried many berliner weisse, but the one I had most recently (from 'Arizona Wilderness' brewing, near me) had a pretty distinct Parmesan cheese flavor to it, so maybe that's what you're talking about. I actually liked it, though.
