Don't forget it was boomers like Charlie Papazian who brought about the craft brew renaissance in the US. As a boomer who grew up with the only options being macro adjuncts and skunked imports, craft breweries were viewed as a godsend and that's carried on to this day. Coupled with the fact boomers generally have more disposable income and they'll be patronizing craft breweries. It's mostly the lower-middle class and lower class boomers (think the NASCAR droolers) who aren't into the craft brews.

Yeah, boomers were definitely the first wave of craft beer. It didn't become nearly as popular within boomers then as it is with millennials now.

I think it has gone back and forth a bit. Boomers first picked it up, then their children, the millennials took it to a whole new level and in many cases later brought their boomer parents if they were out of the loop in the first wave into the mix.

Who do you trust for general beer reviews? I find that BA and RB are too biased towards Midwestern beer. Been getting digital BC for a couple years now, though this is the first time they've sent me a real magazine. Found a lot of good things from them, but sometimes I really don't agree with their ratings. They put Lupulin River as the #11 beer of 2018, which is fucking crazy when the single hop Knee Deeps are all better.

It's mostly the user ratings, which I'd imagine have something to do the Midwest being the one major beer region where people don't go outside, so the number of reviews biased towards Midwest breweries is way out of balance since they sit at home all day in front of the computer.

Your perception of Midwest things is absurd though. If anything BA is biased toward New England where it is based, I don't think anything could reasonably be considered to be unreasonably favorable to the midwest. What beers from the midwest do you think exemplify this, I am curious

[Anonymous No.11898993]

>>11898982
>If anything BA is biased toward New England where it is based
I was talking about the user reviews. If you just look at the most reviewed beers it's overwhelmingly midwest based, and obviously people are going to be more biased towards their local breweries.

[Anonymous No.11899046]

>>11898993
>If you just look at the most reviewed beers it's overwhelmingly midwest based
The 25 most frequently reviewed beers are from:
California: 11
Midwest: 6
East Coast: 4
Belgium: 2
Canada: 1
Mountains: 1

So not sure where you are coming from. By your own metric they overwhelmingly overrate California beers

Also, I don't really think this is a relevant metric, all beers are primarily reviewed by local drinkers, so if anything by that metric we would underrate breweries with wide distribution and overrate ones that only distribute locally which is plausible but I don't see how it would favor any particular region.

Honestly I think the one thing that these sites primarily overrate is Euro stuff because Americans love to act like European beer is better than it is

The California beers are almost entirely Stone, Sierra Nevada, and Lagunitas, which all have huge distribution and have been around for a long time. Just looking at the top 25 is kind of dumb because of that, but the fact that Bell's is in the top 10 twice should really tell you something.

And the midwestern ones are entirely Founders, Bells and Goose which the thing applies two. You theory is inaccurate and illogical

BA doesn't even have a mechanism by which it would overrate the regions that rate things most frequently, that doesn't even make sense. I think they only way number of reviews counts is to exclude beers that have a tiny amount of reviews so some beer that only 20 people have ever tried doesn't get the top rated slot. None of this makes sense

That's why I explicitly said that going by the top 25 most rated doesn't make sense. And I already explained why the beers with more ratings are going to get higher ratings, and the other anon agreed that people are more willing to vote for their local breweries - which is hardly a controversial point. So yeah, if twice as many people from the midwest than California are rating both Bell's and Lagunitas (which I'd rate around the same) obviously there's going to be a bias towards Bell's.

I must have missed that. Thats not how the ratings work. Do you have any data to even suggest that midwestern beers get rated the most? Everything I have seen suggests otherwise though Midwesterners do drink much more craft beer (and macro beer) than most coasties so that part is at least plausible. Still, none of this thesis makes sense
>So yeah, if twice as many people from the midwest than California are rating both Bell's and Lagunitas
But this is a bad assumption because midwesterners are going to be drinking way more BElls than LAgunitas and westerners vice versa.

Lets just start on where this data that shows midwesterners rate beers way more often than everyone else comes from. Also the idea that people from Wisconsin are biased toward Chicago or Michigan beers, like I definitely think some minor bias toward your city or even state is plausible but no fucking way are midwesterners biased toward beers from other states just because they also are midwestern states. If anything I would suspect midwesterns would have bias against beers from neighboring states

Limited/Regional distribution means that a few bars might special order a keg here and there; it's not sold in California. Nobody gives a shit about the South, and obviously a midwest beer is going to be sold in the midwest. So that leaves New York, Colorado, and Arizona. It's not sold anywhere on the West Coast or in New England - the two biggest beer regions in the country. So yeah, who the fuck do you think is reviewing Bell's?

[Anonymous No.11899207]

>>11899176
It only makes sense if you can show that an overwhelming number of lagunitas reviews come from the midwest, midwesterners that are willing to overrate Bells even though most do not even live in Michigan

[Anonymous No.11899222]

>>11899202
Almost no one lives in most western states. If you do that map by population density its most of the country. Also this is really beside the point. Bells doesn't have quite the distro of Lagunitas I assume, but both are very widely distributed, but I don't even see how this line matters to the argument you are trying to make.

Remember, California is a much larger state than Michigan so way more people are going to be biased toward California beers than Michigan ones because way more people can consider them local

There's no point in drinking any beer outside of a glass that has a bowl unless you really want stackability or don't care what the beer tastes like.

Don't fall for the rubbish about pilsner or weizen glasses; I'm convinced that IPA glasses aren't even as good as a wine glass as well.

Cherry picking eh? Yes, numale-targeted beer is a small variety of beer.

But ask yourself this question. How many wines or spirits have references to memes or the latest flavour of the month manchild television program? They don't because those drinks aren't as immediately understandable and don't offer as much instant gratification unlike the latest capeshit film that will cause the average numale to shake with excitement.

I mean the explanation works with beer too. How many wild ales do you seen with cringeworthy branding? It's usually mass appeal NEIPAs and pastry stouts that appeal to unsophisticated manchild palates.

Had that Evil Twin/Prairie stout, have to say I wasn't a fan.
Too syrupy and boozy, made you feel queasy by the end of it. Chili was a strange flavor infusion, ended up tasting vaguely fruity which just didn't work with the already overwhelming chocolate/whatever taste.

Managed to get myself a bottle of this and had great expectations for it only to be let down. It’s certainly good but not for the price. I paid 10 eurocoin for it and 5 more on shipping. The taste was similar to gulden draak but a bit more refined and well composed. Whereas gulden draak’s flavours come in stages this came all at once (again, in a well composed way) and had a longer aftertaste. If you want to get a taste of what it’s like and also don’t want to spend a fortune get the gulden draak brewmaster edition.

It's actually amazing how much of a difference the proper glassware makes. I always thought it was pretentious bullshit when I was younger but having tried it- and done a couple of side-by-side tests- it can absolutely make a big difference.

Generally I use tulip type glasses but I recently got some of those Teku glasses and really like them.

Having said that, there is definitely misinformation out there- one of the biggest I think is brandy snifters. Good brandy is way better out of an actual liquor tasting glass, with a glencairn-type shape. There's a reason that's what they use at the actual distilleries. Something like pic related is pretty ideal- after trying a ton of glasses for armagnac/cognac, these were my favorite.

When your schtick is pumping out gimmick beers time and time again, it gets old. No one is really going to you to stock up for a camping trip or family gatherings.

Its both, a higher percent of millennials drink craft beer than anyone else. Even within Boomers there is a significant age gradient. Older boomers are much less likely to drink craft beer than younger ones as a lot of younger ones have recently converted and continue to but most older ones don't give a fuck to change, and today's elderly population, older than the boomers are even worse for this.

But just given every groups current rate of drinking craft beer, the percent of all beer drank that is craft will would continue to increase pretty consistently as old people continue to die unless the zoomers move away from craft beer as they come of age for some reason

There are so many breweries now everyone needs a niche. Most of the more basic craft beer is just stuff you are getting at the grocery store from the bigger regional craft breweries, and base porters, stouts red ales or whatever are not at all uncommon in that space, if we are talking the newest wave of craft beer their business model often has to be based off taproom sales because we are very rarely going to see any of these become mult-istate regional players anymore like many of the breweries from the 00s aimed for. This taproom model requires new and interesting stuff you can't just get at the any grocery store to bring people in which now often means NEIPA and pastry stout or BA stuff

not necessarilly. you can do a slow pour and still get a head like that. in fact, all carbonation which is not released during the pour and formation of head ends up in your stomach. Do you have a bloated belly, buddy?

Not all beers share the same level and type of carbonation. A stout should have maybe an inch or 2 of head on them during the pour. Some have higher carb levels, but breakfast stout really isnt one of them imo.

While true, this isn't a bad thing, its what gives beer its classic mouthfeel
and sure some beers pour more effervescently than others, but I have had founders breakfast stout before so I can tell that was a pretty aggressive pour

Bernardus made Westvleteren till they decided in the 90's that Trappist should be made within abbeys exclusively.
The beers are only slightly different because of the setups they have. They're like 10 minutes away from eachother.

And Rochefort 10 is superior to both.

[Anonymous No.11926501]

>>11920924
it actually can form with delay and surprise. some of the regular Founder impys seem like a viscous uncarbonated pour but when they're very young all that carbonation will form all of a sudden when the glass is almost full.
but nothing compared to the 5 or 6 fingers head some Belgian beers will do.

noted.
when I poured the regular stout the first time, all that pitch blackness made it hard to see any bubbles forming, so sometimes a more agressive pour is just a reaction to what seems is going to be a flat beer.

[Anonymous No.11926544]

>>11926171
and De Struise St Amatus superior to Abt 12 too. Haven't had Westy XII but hope it packs more flavour and is not as carbonated. Rochefort... now that has been a while... first time I was more impressed by the 8 than the 10.

I really feel bad for people who can't just enjoy a beer or two and leave it at that. Not only are you missing out on the experience of enjoying the sensory input of fine alcoholic beverages, you are trashing the entire experience and putting your health at risk. You only have one shot at life so why ruin it by being a stupid drunk? I for one just drink a nice session IPA with my lunch or dinner and leave it that, knowing i'm both enjoying a good beer and enjoying the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption.
