What are some patrician beers?

It seems god tier because things that are foreign or that have novelty value to you are mentally upgraded. Hence the wild success of small craft breweries. No one knows or necessarily cares if it's not very good. It's "muh craft brew" and that makes it automatically good, no matter if it's shit. Of course, once you can articulate its corporate structure in some meaningful way (like, it's connected to a publicly traded holding company), you are allowed to mentally downgrade it again.

Truly, the art of pre-emptively deciding whether a beer is good or bad is a well developed craft to complement a well developed ecosystem of venture capitalists, viral advertising, graphic designers, and of course, an ocean of euphoria.

Bu Stella is actually a decent, accessible pilsner. Just like Heineken and Carlsberg and Becks are. European macros are generally decent beers, if nothing special.

>> No.4881315

>>4881309
I'm not sure I'd go as far to call them decent, but they are drinkable if you want a beer. I personally don't care for them. Bud and miller on the other hand, that shit is downright swill tier beer.

>> No.4881317

>>4881309

They may be decent in Europe but they're often in pretty bad shape by the time they get to us in the US. Also, they actually make an effort at having flavor, without actually having a particularly good flavor.

Bud and bud light are perfectly fine. They're meant to be drunk ice cold from the bottle. I would rather have a cheap beer that excels at simply being as inoffensive as possible than a cheap beer that tries to be something it can never be. Beck's is the beer equivalent of a cheap suit from H&M.

Yes, but IPAs dominate the market right now. Your more vocal younger beer enthusiasts tend to trumpet it, not that there's anything wrong with that. There is a massive variety however. For me, while I enjoy an occasional IPA in the right setting the popularity of IPAs here seems to be just due to the adolescence of the reemerging US beer market from the very long shadow of Prohibition.

PBR has been a hipster thing since you were in swaddling clothes. It also tastes better than tecate, which is basically just wet cardboard. Get the fuck over yourself.

And to the rest of you:

>patrician
>beer

pick one. beer is the common man's booze. there's nothing uppercrust or dignified about it, even if you are paying nine bucks a bottle. (i say this as a rabid beer advocate)

scotch (not bourbon, not irish whisky) is patrician. wine is patrician. brandies and cognacs are patrician.

not sure, I think there are a handful of rum drinkers on /ck/, certainly much more than wine drinkers. it's #4 behind beer, scotch, and bourbon. I'm more of an everything drinker.

for better or worse I quit smoking 8 years ago and that includes cigars. so I guess I can never take you up on that suggestion.

Yeah, there are a lot of rum drinks, but they all drink cap'n morgan and kraken and other party bro shit. me, on the other hand, i'm on a crusade to get dark rum accepted as a manly sipping liquor. that's why i was surprised by your suggestion, because that rum you posted is some first class shit.

Just had some bud regular last night at the casino, because they were free. This is coming from a home brewer and craft beer enthusiast.

Would I buy a six pack of it? Nope. Not worth the money when things that cost $2 more and taste 3x better.

Was it as horrid as /ck/ says it is? Nope. It was quite refreshing, easy to drink, and inoffensive. By no means a great beer, but nothing about it was outright bad.

Personally, I tend to stick to either Jack Daniels or Jagermeister, but when I drink beer it's normally Budweiser, cools light or Corona.

I'm from the UK and I'm awake Budweiser and Cools Light are American beers.
