This from last year. Got a four pack of this year's batch.

Drinking Ballast Point Victory at Sea right now. They just started selling in my state and their stuff is pretty good.

Also about to drink one of these and its really good

I've posted this before. Really good stuff.

>>6259071

Also had this last night. Not as great as the milk stout, but still pretty good stuff.

>>6259077
i drink all sorts of stuff. I'm not a huge fan of west coast style IPAs, but Citra IPAs especially are amazing

>>6259054
Ale Asylum is great. I am drinking this right now, I highly recommend it to everyone in Chicago and Wisconsin who can buy it

Got a six pack of founders porter yesterday. I'm kind of tired of it but it's porter weather, my beer store has over 25 gorillion IPAs and like 3 other beers, this being one of them.

Ironically someone had stuffed a Centennial IPA in there so I ended up with that too.

I'm at the end of my current beer cycle and I'm going back to wine for a while when this six pack is gone.

Drinking a Stone Delicious IPA right now.
So far I've had a Deschutes White IPA, Founders Black Rye, and Fat Heads Hop Stalker, even though it's like 4 months old, I forgot I had it. I still have a 4 month old Unsessionable IPA I forgot about, and a Dogfish Head Palo Santo.

Sunday funday.

Picked up a 6 pack of Jai Alai, a four pack of Founders Imperial Stout, and a four pack of Victory Dirt Wolf this weekend.

I'm happy with my purchases. Think I'll try one of the jai alai tonight cause it was canned like 2 months ago so I wanna get through it quick.

>>6259197
Founders Imperial Stout is excellent

22 day old Grapefruit Sculpin. 4.5/5

>>6259340
if i don't like grapefruit, will i like that?

>>6259354
You will love it, I promise.

>>6259354
No. It tastes like an IPA with grapefruit juice in it. Perhaps unsurprisingly.

>>6259201
I've had it before, but only bottles that are 1+ years old. This is he first time I have some fresh. I'm not sure if I should try it fresh or just save this four pack for next year and enjoy the two I have that were bottled back in 2013.

I'm aging some BCBS, Ten Fidy, and Imperial Biscotti Break as well.

>>6259408
I've never been able to not drink them for that long

Got this on one co/ck/'s recommendation.

God damn I wasn't expecting this to be this good. The first sip is just like... wow. Amazing IPA. By far the best non-Imperial IPA I've ever had.

>>6259422
I can't drink those heavy/big beers too often. I don't like getting drunk off of craft beer. Always makes me feel like shit.

So I save them for special occasions or when I can share them with someone else who will appreciate them.

>he drinks a meme beer
I cant wait till IPAs die and nobody gives a shit about them anymore, just like it was 2 years ago

This tonight, not bad, I'd rather just do the russian river though.

>>6259516
>just like it was 2 years ago
dude, what?

>>6259516
Lmao that you actually believe this will happen. Lmao that you think the "IPA fad" has been around 2 years.

>2015
>not liking something about the best of every style of beer

This brewery does no wrong.

>>6259516
>meme beer
Opinion totally disregarded.

>>6259569
Cheers, they are top tier.

>>6259572
with the rise in popularity of brett ipa, i'll be into the style for some time.

>>6259583
if you've not had side project, you're missing out. bottles usually in the 1k-1500 limit (by guess) and you've gotta be in line for about one hour of release every few weeks. worth the road trip though.

>>6259022
I'm getting real fucking tired of IPA beers.

IPA's are terrible, played out and greatly over hyped.

>>6259590
I can't be driving to Chicago all the time. You trade at all?

>>6259597
then buy something else, there is a ridiculously wide variety of styles at any grocery store

>>6259590
You've convinced me to do an illinois-kansas beer adventure. As I'm in Texas, a stop in Tulsa makes sense too.

>>6259624
Bring me some Jester King if you come to NY brah.

>>6259624
might as well make your way up to Wisconsin if you are going that far

>>6259600
side project is in st louis. i do trade, but i havent had the quantity of side project lately to do so. perhaps on future releases i can.

>>6259624
it will be worth it. while you're visiting the boys at prarie, make sure to pick up some of their glassware.

also bring me a few jester king.

while you're here, make SURE you stop by side project's tasting room.

all of their brew is brewed in the extra space at perennial artisan ales, however the taps across town at the side project tasting room are some of the best i've ever seen. http://www.sideprojectbrewing.com/tasting-room/

>>6259600
i'm in springfield mo, so if you need anything prarie/perennial/mikkeler/boulevard, i'm your man.

>>6259673
Hit me up with your untappd. I got you on Ithaca/Maine/Victory/Troegs if that's anything you're even interested in.

>>6259693

This guy's only friend.

>>6259745
Disregard that.

Dude I just friended has good taste. Cheers man.

>>6259038
nice.
I've got a pounder of their War and Peace.I think I'm gonna pop it open this weekend before stout season ends.

>>6259906
War and Peace is probably my favorite release from Fulton. Patience is really great too if you like barleywines. Best beer to open after a long day in the cold.

Currently enjoying a Crispin cider with some multigrain club crackers and sliced gruyere.

wish they still sold K cider in america. I never drink anymore really so Crispin is the most pleasant thing i've found.

>>6259920
>with some multigrain club crackers and sliced gruyere.
kek, did you slice it yourself?

Mmmm, Omnipollo Nebuchadnezzar

>drinking alcoholic beverages

>not drinking sparkling waters and soft drinks and juices with actual unique flavoring

wow , so degenerate. beer tastes like throw up.

its just for getting drunk

>>6260843
>beer tastes like throw up.
>its just for getting drunk

>I Judge All Beers Based on My Impression of Macro Brews: The Post

>>6259022
I bought a twelve pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale today. Also got a 30 pack of Natural Ice. Gonna be a good week.

I had this yesterday. Not as hoppy as I'd thought. Maybe it had become tired when being exported all they way to Finland and spent too long time on the shelf.
I give it 3+/5

Just tried Pliny the Younger yesterday

>pic related

My Russian River flight.

Currently drinking this. Quite like it.

>>6261374
How was it? I've only had the Elder.

>>6260843

Beer is good

>>6259099

Both of you are retards.

Does the world even need this many beers? Where do you buy these queer beers?

>>6261654
>I only need Budweiser
>if you don't drink Budweiser your a gay commie
It used to be american to support your local breweries before prohibition

I have a question, it's related to alcohol so it's related enough to the topic in this thread. Anyways, I'm not a big drinker as I'm only 18. I like to get drunk on the weekends though. My birthday is in two months and since I'm in Canada, I'll be legal at that point.

Until then, I want to get one of my classmates to buy me liquor. I'm more of a beer guy but beer isn't going to last me very long which is why I was to get a 750 ML of something and only drink it on friday and/or saturday, my hopes are to make it last at least the month of March. So basically my question is, which should I get: Jack Daniels Whiskey or Kraken rum? Which is better? I'll be mixing whatever I get with Cococola.

tl;dr: Which is better, Jack Daniels or Kraken rum

>>6261686
With coke I love jack

>>6261780
Really? Hm. I've asked some other people on others boards and most have sided with Kraken, someone said that Kraken mixes better with coke as well

>>6261802
It does. I don't really like Jack but Kraken is drinkable even by itself. I generally prefer bourbon to rum also so that should tell you something.

>>6261802
Idk a lot of people are biased against jack because its popular
But kraken isn't bad I really hate rum and I can drink that stuff on its own so its obviously pretty good
But I love the extra kind of caramelly/mapely flavor that jack adds to coke
Like I would honestly rather drink a jack n coke than straight coke because it tastes better to me
But its frowned upon to have a jack n coke at work sadly

>>6261466
For being 10.25%, Younger was really smooth with a nice sweetness on the back end. I personally prefer Elder though. Younger is way over hyped. Its probably cuz its only brewed once a year but I have no desire to try it again next year.

>>6259099
The absolute best porter I've ever had. Probably my favorite beer. Great for getting drunk in the bath on a cold winter's night. With a good book but not too good cause you'll drop it in the water eventually

>>6259915
Y'all make me miss Minnesota so much. Watching the snow fall outside Town Hall, wandering home from Acadia.

>>6261867
lol just hide it in a coffee Thermos or something

>>6261867
>>6261851
Also, one last question for you fine gentlemen or anyone else who wants to help me out. Kraken, or Sailor Jerry? Which is better?

>>6261896
M8, anything you can't get that you'd wanna trade for some fresh Elder?

I know a shop near me that still has four packs of BCBStout if you haven't had that. I hear it's hard to get on the west coast.

>>6261654
>Does the world even need this many beers?
Does the world even need this many brands of clothing and cars?
>Where do you buy these queer beers?
Where do you even buy high quality clothes and cars? Fuckin queers.

>>6262024
It was barrel aged week last week at Town Hall. Shit was so cash.

>>6262196
Kraken is smoother but Jerry tastes better and is cheaper. Also it seems to have less sugar so less hangover.

This is my nugget nectar + buffalo chicken sandwich.

This is my dinner.

This is a delicious combination.

Goddamn nugget nectar is good stuff.

>>6261654
>Where do you buy these queer beers?

your 4% mass-produced swill is real manly, brah

>>6262436

Nugget Nectar is the shit, goes goddamn well with tacos too.

>>6262476
I read a review on BA that mentioned it tasting like bubblegum, and it's like all I can pay attention to now. Shit tastes like bubblegum!!

>>6262483

Nugget Nectar? I've never noticed that...now I'll be looking for that. Hefeweizens sure, but not Nugz.

>>6262505
Yah man, it does. Very good nonetheless. See if you can pick up on it next time you try it.

Picked these up today, how'd I do? Haven't tried any Delirium stuff but always see it mentioned, and dayumm that packaging
Fire Rock is a Hawaiian pale ale so cud b interesting

The fuck is this shit at the bottom of my beer? This is a Jai Alai IPA. Never seen so much particulate matter in a beer before.

I've seen similar matter, and I've always taken it to be yeast. But there is so much in this beer.

It was only canned two months ago, so I don't think it can be the bad, skunky floaties. Beer still tastes good, too. But now I'm hoping that it's not a stale example that I'm liking.

>>6260836
Had that once. Horribly overpriced. It's really fucking ridiculous. You pay like $7/bottle and the shit is... just try Victorys Hop Ranch if you want a very similar, but better and less expensive, IPA.

>>6259022
Sockeye Red from Midnight Sun Brewery. Shit is tasty.

What are some beers you could find at a walmart or meyer near a large college campus that you would recommend for someone that enjoys

killians
guinness
blue moon
smithwicks

>>6265526
It is hops.

Best beer from Ontario?

>>6265597
I don't think so. I think it's yeast, like I said, because it isn't really a solid. It sticks together when it's suspended in the liquid, but once I'm done it just smudges all over the glass almost like a powdery paste.

>>6265608
I mean maybe, I got some Victory Hop Ranch this year and one of the bottles had quite a lot of sediment in it, I was lead to believe it was hops. It looked different floating around then yeast does.

Anyway, it is an unfiltered IPA. Maybe it is both, who knows.

>>6265618
Victory Hop Ranch was actually the one other beer that I noticed the same thing with. Maybe you're right. It probably is some mixture of both.

Had this the other night. Some burnt coffee flavours, and overall really smooth.

Shout out to any other UK craft beer drinkers, stuff ain't always easy to come by.

It seems like in the US if you live near a brewery you can get decent craft brews for cheap.

In the UK, it doesn't matter if you live a mile or four hundred miles from the brewery, it will likely cost the same (and expensive...over $2.20 for a 330ml can/bottle).

Fucking sucks.

>>6259022
lagunitas

>>6266349
That's pretty much how it goes. Obviously special releases are a little more spendy, but most local craft 6 packs are 7 or 8.99

>>6266381
Not in NY. Even local NY breweries 6 or 4 packs go for $9.99 at the absolute cheapest.

I don't even remember the last time I paid less then that and I don't buy anything that special either.

>>6266616
Move.

>>6264876
last time I had delirium was around christmas, it's fucking delicious.

>>6266840
this fucken guy ;)

>>6265603
Bellwoods out of Toronto makes some good shit.

>>6260843
Are you actually 15?

>>6260903
>Natty Ice

How do you tolerate that? Honestly.

>>6265526
Some bottles have lots more in than others, I guess based on where they were filled from the barrel. It's yeast, just ignore it, I don't find it affects anything but the look.

>>6266349
>over $2.20 for a bottle
That would be great, off the top of my head I usually pay £3-4 for something foreign and fancy, that's like $5-6 I think. For a british beer it's more like £1.50 for a 500ml bottle, but that'll be much lower abv.

Awesome, I had no idea /ck/ had beer snob threads. I just never thought to check. I work at a alcohol store and it's awesome to find new interesting beers to try.

>>6267783
>I work at a alcohol store
What the fuck

>>6267682
I mean thornbridge/brewdog/sierra nevada pale/oakham etc. is all about £1.70/330ml at sainsburys/waitrose.

If i go to my local bottle shop I can get a really wide range of British, European and US beer for about £2.20/330ml

What I hate is that living in London, none of the local breweries offer cheap bottles...to get Kernel/Beavertown/Camden/London Fields/Pressure Drop at £1 a bottle or less like they do in the US would be incredible.

>>6267682
I take it you've tried Jai Alai?

Gave this a try yesterday, and wow I'm really impressed. The sorachi ace hops really do come through and set it apart from more traditional saisons, gives it a very lemony flavor. Dry and refreshing as hell, this would be a great summer beer.

Gigantic- Whole in the Head. Excellent Imperial IPA.

everything by alaskan breweries is awesome, but i especially like their APA (american PA), their big mountain pale ale (their winter ale is great too)

the widmer brothers are also great (i love alchemy)

but my current favorite is leinenkugel's
at first i avoided leinenkugel's because i saw a fair amount of flavored beers, so i assumed it was blue moon-tier (i.e. shit).

but after having tried every leinenkugel's beer i could get my hands on (and a couple shandies)

i love every single one of them.

i normally hate flavored beers, but they have them dialed in.

the vanilla porter is so mild, it wasn't until my second beer that i really started tasting the vanilla.

i cannot recommend them highly enough, especially since their ostensibilities can be so offputting.

the only thing is... the shandies are pretty damn fruity. but they aren't terribly sweet, so if you are into ciders, they are pretty damn awesome too

>>6270161
plus, leinenkugel is just incredibly fun to say.

das leinenkugel ist gud bier!

> Uniquely earthy tasting IPA, deceptively high ABV.
Oh God, another beer queen. Beer is Beer.some better, some less so. Some I like.some not so much. my favorite? see pic. always sold out.I have drank Belgian, And I like Indian,(kingfisher) The only one I will not drink is keystone, or tecate. personal problems, not theirs. gout. I like rolling rock, or harps, Guinness.Becks is good, especially with seafood. Learn your body. It is unique. I like Sherry,but it don't like me..

>>6270253 sorry, forgot pic. do the best you can, pretty good I bet.

>>6267790
ever heard of a store that only sells alcohol?

>>6267835
>local bottle shop
>living in London
>£2.20/330ml

Wow, I always thought I lived in a cheap part of the country (north) and that london was the most expensive part. I'd expect only a couple of shit tier beers to be anywhere near that price in a good bottle shop.

>>6269233
No, but I've had other beers with yeast in

Todays haul! Some good stuff in there.

>>6270262
>>6270253

I remember when I was 19 too...

>>6270819

>Brown Shugga

So overrated.

>>6270831
Yet to crack that one. Working on the Rochefort right now!

But i do know from earlier barley wines that the style is not really in my tastes, but i do like most stuff Lagunitas puts out!

As expected not really my kind of beer. Lots of malts, tastes syrupy and sweet, some hop bitterness with the lagunitas twist in the background, just not enough for me. Fucking barley wines i guess.

The 9,9% does kick you in the head though if that is important to you.

>>6270831
Overrated yes, but it is pretty good and surprisingly cheap for being almost 10%

>>6270831
Every seasonal/limited release beer is "overrated".

>>6259022
>muh hops
I sure will be glad when this brewing meme is finished. Almost as annoying as ">muh coriander" a few years back.

>>6270966

It's good for some occasions but I prefer Laguinitas Sucks, it's a similar taste but less sweet.

skol vodka masterrace

>>6271234
I have had the Sucks and i agree completely with you, way more balance in it. The sweetness of the Brown Shugga hits me as dark sweet sligthly burned bread, just to to sweet. Still the top offering from lagunitas for me is the a little sumpin.

>>6271223

I'll drink anything from stone ruination IPA to rolling rock and people who drink exclusively craft beer are pretentious arse holes

>>6267087

Tastes like nothing and gets you drunk

Literally nothing wrong with that

>>6272091
>people who drink exclusively craft beer are pretentious arse holes
You know who else is arse holes, m80? People who call other people pretentious assholes for liking what they don't like.

You probably have had Stone Ruination IPA like twice in your life.

Picked up a six pack of Jupiter today. Going for the full set eventually. Jupiter tastes pretty good.

>>6272108

What is this?

>>6272231
Bell's Planet series.

>>6272249
I heard it sucks

>>6272359
Venus sucks, hard. Mercury was alright for a one-off. Mars was fucking awesome, but it's already past its best by date. I haven't had Jupiter yet, but I've heard it's good. I have high expectations for Saturn, which is a bourbon barrel aged barleywine.

>>6270831
Possibly, but for 9.99 a six pack and the fact that it tastes great fresh and aged... I typically get around a case worth each year.

Fuck Whole Foods.

I live in NYC, so the only well-dispersed craft beer shops are Whole Foods. There are tons of bottle shops that sell awesome, awesome beers, but they're all downtown.

Today I walk into Whole Foods looking to buy either a) a 6-pack of Jai Alai or b) a 4-pack of the Nugget Nectar cans. the Jai Alai is usually $10-11//six.

Leave it to fucking Whole Foods to be selling the Jai Alai for $14/six and Nugget Nectar for fucking THREE DOLLARS per bottle.

Whole Foods. Not even once.

/blogpost

>>6272359
The first two did suck.

>>6272503
>Whole Foods
>Ever

Theres this glorious place called total wine and liquor if you ever go outside NYshitty.

As for beer, its almost stout season and I just got a hold of these two weeks ago. Shit is damn good, oakey smooth with a hint of vanilla and evens out with a tad bit of bitterness by the bottom

What is the worst beer you've ever had?

I just drank some faux-German vanilla infused garbage. It was fucking disgusting. I don't know what I was thinking when I opened it, and I don't even care to remember the name.

>>6272811

My friend's dad once gave me a bottle of Beck's Sapphire. Oh god was it terrible. I mean I drank it all, don't want to appear ungrateful or anything, but goddamn man.

>>6265586
Miller High Life is always the best cheap and light beer if you're looking for that

>>6272811
Busch, Keystone, or Natty

Cliche but it's just appalling

Steel Reserve is pretty nasty too, though I've found it to be surprisingly decent when it's warm, the super-maltiness feels much more subdued and it's not just liquid corn

This is what I'm having tonight. It's one of my favorite beers

>instert cuck joke

>>6272811
Heineken or Newcastle. Seriously fucking garbage.

>>6272811
Big flats. The beer that is like $3 for a six pack at Walgreens.

Why?

Going to a craft beer fest today here in Ireland. I'm familiar with most Irish breweries but are there any non-Irish from this list I should check out? Aside from obvious ones like Sierra Nevada, Brewdog, Founders etc.

://eu.alltechbrewsandfood.com/breweries

>tfw I just picked up pannepot grand reserva 2010 that I ordered
Oh my fucking god I can't wait to drink these.

>>6273687
Also picked up Backwoods bastard and Brown shugga. I had the Vintage 2008 of Pannepot Grand Reserva last year and it was amazing so I can't fucking wait.

>>6273487

I once tried Walgreens beer. It was the worst beer I ever had as well. It seriously gave me a headache from one fucking beer. I threw the rest away.

>>6272807
I fucking LOVE a good stout

>>6265559
It's actually really cheap for a craft beer here (Sweden). Cost about 4 bucks/bottle.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for the Victory Hop Ranch though.

>>6272807
>always assumed this was a lager when on tap in glasgow
fuck, is it as good as guinness?

>>6272857
>heap and light beer if you're looking for that
im not sure where you got that from his suggestions lel

I made a beer run today, and in my fridge I have the following
>Mikkeiller Green Gold
>Brewdog Hardcore IPA
>Brewdog Jackhammer
>Samuel Adams Winter Ale
>Founder's Centennial IPA
Along with some regional beer, notably Bríó and Úlfur.

Any recommendations on where I should start? I just zone out in front of my fridge and drool with anticipation.

Bought a 6 pack of Boulevard Single-wide IPA today. I can't believe this stuff is $4.99.

I've had it before, but I can't remember if I liked it. I've started taking notes. If nothing else, I can use the bottles.

>>6274670

Started with a Samuel Adams Winter Lager, it's pretty nice. Good for a lager, malt is nice.
Feels like a christmas brew.

>>6274670
Samuel Adams is quite discreet so I'd say start with that otherwise you might not be able to appreciate it after the others. I haven't had Jackhammer or Green Gold but those others are alright IPAs I guess although not my favorites. Both are a tad bit too malty for my taste for an IPA. But that's just my opinion.

>>6259022
Drinking pic related tonight. Gonna watch some Breaking Bad soon and then once I'm good and drunk I'll play some F.E.A.R, never played it before so I have no idea what I'm in for.

I'm getting drunk as fuck tonight boys, drunk.as.fuck, make my words

>>6259022

Ballast Point has some great pale ales. Give this bad boy a try. Anyone have any pointers for a good red ale?

Down to my last bottle, maybe pick up the porter next time.

>>6276033
you drunk as fuck? because I'm pretty damn drunk

>>6276037
Got a pretty good buzz going. Enough to were I'm fucking up my posts. All that aside, I really do like Dirty Bastard. It turned me on to Founders, in the first place.

>>6276365
Patrician detected.

>>6276922
That stuff was OK when cold. It gets nasty as fuck and just tastes like grass and weeds when it warms up. I've still got one bottle of it left, bit I always drink my Ales over that cause I just prefer them.

I really don't why I&G are doing that. But they've started to have some of their beers in dark bottles these days at least.

>>6259597
Afraid of your beer actually having flavor, lagerboy?

>>6277699
The fact that they use clear bottles isn't even my biggest qualm with I&G. It's the excessive diacetyl in every fucking beer they make.

>>6259446
Mah nigga. That is quickly becoming my favorite brew. I'm enjoying this one right now. Very nice porter. Loving the smokey character!

>farmstead

When will this cancer end

>>6278878
When "local, organic" becomes mainstream. Then they won't want it anymore, because the average person has access to it.

By then, hipsters will be eating meat recycled from feces. Man, I wish this post could be flashed in front of the world, because I would bet my LIFE on the fact that they will proclaim feces meat is better because "it is scientifically engineered to taste better than real meat" even though for years they argued against GMOs and MSG and everything.

>>6278891
But it already is mainstream. And furthermore what does that have to do with "farmstead".

You didn't even rant about Caliph Lord Sheikh B. Hussein Obongo. If you're going to go on an offtopic rant you might as well go all out, no?

Also, to stay on topic, this. Tasted like the tears of neckbeards going ballistic because AB Inbev or something.

>>6278909
Goose Island still makes good stuff, I never got the issue of who owns it. I buy a bottle of Sofie or Matilda once in awhile. They're just good beers.

>>6278909
>But it already is mainstream.
no its not. Sure local beer is mainstream, but buying local organic things otherwise is the territory of crazy uneducated hippy like people

>>6278909
So bad? Honkers is meh and their 812 series is expensive and tastes like budweiser. Matilda and Sophie are alright but nothing amazing.

>>6278945
the biggest problem is how they are churning out a ridiculous amount of blue moon tier 312 and trying to take shelf space and taps from actual craft beers with them. Their small release beers are still pretty good

>>6278969
Goose Island isn't really on tap at a lot of places in my area. MN reporting in. Maybe I just don't notice them. I have seen Matilda and Sofie on tap, but nothing else from them really.

>>6278963
>buying local organic things otherwise is the territory of crazy uneducated hippy like people

Where do you live

>>6278963
What. Why wouldn't you support your local economy if you can afford to?

>>6278878
It's not new, you flyover dipshit. Don't you have a chain restaurant in a strip mall to eat in or something?

I picked up four packs of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout and this, which I am drinking now, the Sorachi Ace.

I am sort of underwhelmed right now, not much lemon or even saison taste, but it is pretty cold, I am going to let it get slightly less cold and see if it fairs better.

>>6279012
That might help, but it also might be old. That stuff doesn't really fly off the shelf unfortunately.

>>6278963
Yes, eating locally produced food is a completely new concept and has certainly not been a thing for centuries...What's life like in a food desert? Does referring to people with more taste and disposable income as "hipsters" make you feel better about your life of mediocrity?

>>6279005
What? When did I say it was new?
>NYC is flyover
That's a new one

>>6279035
>NYC
That explains it

I guess this is made in the middle of nowhere California, but I love this stuff. That have this on tap at one of my favorite Bay area restaurants for lunch.

>>6278991
no matter where you live, only crazy uneducated people buy organic

>>6279005
are you seriously implying Vermont isn't flyover too?

>>6279054
It explains being tired of "farmstead" meme getting spammed all over everything, sure.

Do you get a foodie boner when a restauranteur shamelessly spams a menu with the word "housemade"?

>>6279061
Yes, because crazy uneducated people totally have the disposable income for that. Jump harder little fox, the grapes aren't sour and everyone knows it.

>>6279075
No but everyone who has admitted to being from NYC on here has been a retarded faggot

>>6279081
Oh, you're one of those people.

>>6279087
One of those people that makes observations and then comes to conclusions based on those observations?

>>6279075
Do you fill with bile and rage every time you get reminded that there are people out there with better taste and more money than you?

>>6279094
We call those sort of people dumb here.
What's wrong with having blind faith?

Chocolate peanut butter stout. Hideout Brewery. Grand Rapids, MI. These guys love to experiment.

http://hideoutbrewing.com/

>>6279094
You mad that your flyover maymay failed?

>>6259022
Sun King Milk Porter, New Belgium Slow Ride.

>>6279099
Statistically speaking, not so many people have better taste or more money than I. I'm not trying to brag, it's just a statement of fact.

>>6279103
It's a state of mind. And you certainly seem to have it, but damage control more, this is pretty funny.

>>6279087
Someone who thinks people from NYC are more up their own ass than Californians? Yeah.

>>6279111
>damage control
How many posts have you made in defense of your super exclusive #farmstead beer so far?

whose the bigger snob /ck/:

winefags or craftbeerfags?

>>6279114
I have extended stays in both states. Both are about on par, the only difference is that nyc fags are nearly always in a rush.

>>6279119
Look at the wine thread and then look at this mess. It's pretty clear that "craft beer" enthusiasts ought to be rounded up and gassed.

>>6279126
The only difference is there are a lot more shit posters in this thread. That's it.

>>6279079
the people who buy organic are the same people who are afraid of vaccines

>>6279119
on /ck/ beer probably, but in the real world wine by far, and its much less called for with wine

>>6279110

Can you link those statistics?

>>6279079
By uneducated people, I of course include all non-science and engineering majors

>>6279136

And claim to have "Gluten" allergies but don't actually have coeliac disease.

The Gluten free industry is such a Fucking sham, but nobody says anything about it.

>>6279119
tulipglass fags, by far.

>b-but it focuses the aroma

>>6279151
>>6279146
>>6279136
Here is you're response xd xd

>>6279151
yeah, gluten free somehow has becoming even more mainstream than organic, but its the exact same logic

>>6279154
Do you drink wine or whisky from the bottle?

>>6279172
not him but i drink my beer from a glass, and my wine from a bag. fight me bitch boi

>>6279174
Priorities. Any type of better end alcoholic beverage should be in the glass it deserves.

>>6279174

Fucking step back or Temecula Motherfucker!

>>6279186
>actually being a commifornian
kek give me 30 hours in a car and ill come kick your ass

>>6279012
>four packs of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
why did you buy so much of such a mediocre stout?

>>6279491
Because it's better than most year round stouts and cheaper than most seasonals.

>>6279154
Pint glass bottoms kill carbonation dude.
Pi beer delicious BTW, solid batch.

>>6279197
nigger i will wrek ur shit I live at 17528 Erwin Street, Tarzana, CA

come to my crib i will literally make you cry

>>6279496
But Founders Imperial Stout is out right now. Why wouldn't you just buy four packs of that instead?

Ten FIDY can also still be found nearly everywhere.

>>6279012

Really, no lemon? I had this the other day >>6269280 and got some good lemon flavor out of it.

>>6279537
Sorachi Ass hops throw off lemon, you're not wrong.

This needs more time. Brett isn't doing its thing yet.

just downed a le biere de fantasie by side project. it was most excellent.

>>6279513
Like I said, cheaper. Black chocolate is a great stout though. Quality for price, better than Ten Fidy.

>>6279513
>But Founders Imperial Stout is out right now
if you are lucky, the stuff around here sold out weeks ago

>>6279659
There's tons of it still on the shelves around here.

>>6279675
went to go get some today, literally none out atm
got their scotch ale instead

>>6276354
This mother fucker is amazing.

>>6279537
>>6279022
As I drank more of it I started to like it more. Admittedly I am kind of having sinus issues so maybe my sense of smell/taste is not what it should be. I definitely got lemons, though. More like (and I don't want to sound pretentious here) lemongrass like some people say.

>>6279491
>A four pack
>so much
Excuse me? It was $9.99, that is cheaper then pretty much anything I have bought in the past couple months excluding Ommegang four packs, I live in NY. Anyway, most people seem to disagree with you. I thought it was pretty good.

>>6279513
I already bought some Founder Imperial Stout, and it was $15 a four pack. I am poor so that is a one time a season thing for me. I haven't seen Ten Fidy being sold near me in a while, and I am sure it would also be expensive.

>>6279513
>>6279491
This is why no one likes beerfags

>>6280358
>I already bought some Founder Imperial Stout, and it was $15 a four pack.
shit, its only $9-10 here

>>6280362
Fuck off

>Mirror Mirror is now past it's best after date
oh man oh man oh man I'm so HYPE

>>6281231
I've got a 2013 Abyss just hanging out in my basement right now. I don't even know when I'll open it, but I'm super stoked at how long I've been able to hang on to it. The temptation is there.

>>6281575
nice. I'm usually bad about being patient, but I've got four bottles of Not the Stoic aging, and I plan on having two this year and two next year. Best part is that they hit their best after date two days before my birthday, so it's the best kind of anticipation.

>>6282551
Why do you have so much magic hat #9?

>>6282562
I like it.

>>6259022
drinking 3 USD merlot from ALdi, straight from the bottle, in a roach infested shithole apartment in the spic part of town,. while munching on a shoplifted block of walmart sharp cheddar cheese and an apple I bought from the taco nigger butcher shop down the street.

Pint of 100 proof vodka already downed,and two more bottles of merlot to go. Hoping I reach the pass out stage before the puking guts out stage.

>>6282551
>lipton

plebe detected

>>6282691
It's instant ramen for white people.

>>6279547
actually wasn't a huge fan. bought 4 bottles at the tasting room, 3 for my brother, one for me. maybe i got a bad one, but i put a scotch synthetic cork in it and passed it along to a friend later in the evening. couldn't bring myself to finish it.

that's nowhere near what i expect from perennial

>>6280735
No u

Grassroots by these guys is literally perfect

I think it's exclusive to TN but if you ever find yourself in music city, ask for some of this shit

Pretty good tripel you got there, Canucks.

Drinking this tonight, and it's alright, not my favorite from anchor brewing co. If I could I would be drinking a raven stout from craft brewing company in elsinore, anyone try that?

>>6282928
Absolutely agree, it's probably the worst thing I've had by Perrenial. It needs more time for the brett yeast to funkify it.

I had...a bit tonight. Of the samples here, I gota say I'm liking the wheat beers, ales.

>>6283365
Weihenstephaner

You're welcome.

>>6283545
Speak english you fucking nazi

>>6282978
Unibroue is an awesome brewery. If you ever see any 17 grande reserve or noire du chambly, grab it. Trois pistoles is solid too.

Right now I'm drinking some Howe Sound imperial licorice stout- it's pretty damn good.

>>6283678
Internets ate my picture apparently.

>>6259022
I'm actually drinking Ballast Point right now.

This is an Australian beer but if you somehow find it and can get past the hipster paper bag thing seriously try it.

D O S S B L O C K O S

>>6270819
> Trappiste Rochefort 10

my nigga

>>6270966
Lagunitas is a a solid brewery. Try the Maximus IPA if you can find it. I'm not a big IPA fan but this one was great.

>>6270819
>Rochefort

>>6281643
I had the same issue for awhile. I really want to do that Stone Imperial thing they recommend where you buy a case and try one every 3 or 6 months or something, but buying a case is spendy.

Drinking Victory at Sea by Ballast Point. Too much coffee.

Thinking I'm gonna preorder one of these tonight (specifically the ones I've circled). Any of them look better to you guys?

>>6285912
If you're interested in checking it out for yourself go here

You beer snobs will probably sneer at me, but Sam Adams Rebel IPA is the best beer I've ever tasted.

>>6285928
It's a decent IPA. It's like entry level craft beer, you could be doing a lot worse.

>>6285928
It's a solid IPA, but if that's the best one you've had then you need to try more beer.

>>6285928
It's OK. I'll drink it if I'm at Friday's or something.

So many cheap, obvious trolls and you cunts take the bait.

For fuck's sake, wise up.

>>6285912
>not ordering the neckbeard beer

>>6286981
that actually looks really good but I ended up ordering #1

>all this violation of Reinheitsgebot ITT

>>6288283
Reinheitsgebot was literally only brought about to keep the price of bread down at the expense of beer quality

>>6285912
I bought their durian beer the other day, couldn't really taste the durian (not that I know what exactly durian tastes like) but it was good anyways

>>6288330
did it smell weird?

>>6288338
I was expecting it to, but not really

>>6288341
interesting, if I see it I'll try it

>>6288323
actually it was to keep the quality of beer up because random people were making barrels and barrels of shit beer. Standards aren't put in place to control pricing. They control quality. It was a consumer protection law, dingus. Stop getting your info from the europeanbeerguide.

Having the Chateau Jiahu tonight.

Like it better than the Etrusca, but not as much as the Midas Touch.

Still have to hunt down the others in the Ancient Ales Line.

>>6288363
>Standards aren't put in place to control pricing.
It was put in place because brewers were using delicious rye and wheat and in doing so driving the price of bread up

The whole beer quality thing is a myth, why would banning rye be good for quality?

California people. What are the best San Diego available beers that will be readily found at stores this week that I can ask a friend who doesn't know much about beer to pick up for me?

>>6288401
Basically anything from Stone, Green Flash, Ballast Point, Lagunitas. Could go smaller if those guys are distributed where you live.

>>6288511
all of those but stone do. Is there a specific stone beer thats out right now thats particularly good?

>>6288517
Enjoy by 3.14.15 is great.
