Hey /ck/

I was wondering if anyone of you is interested in beer. (not those cheap export and import pilsners or lagers).

So i've got a few questions for you.
1. What country do you live in
2. What the best type of beer in your opinion.
3. What is the best beer you've ever had.
4. What is the last beer you've had

[Anonymous No.5210554]

OP here.

1. The Netherlands
2. IPA
3. Difficult one. but the best one i've ever had was in the Brewdog cafe in london. They had a hoppinator filled with Tongue Tied and extra amarillo hops
4. Last beer i had was a "cuvee van de keizer (blue/blauw) from the year 2000 (pic related)
Still have 2 bottles of this beer laying around. saving them for a special occasion.

2. I can't really pick one style, but can't go wrong with a great stout. I'm also personally very fond of hopped-up rye beers
3. Can't pick just one. Zombie Dust, St. Bernadus, Chocolate oak aged Yeti, pretty much anything by Founders or Great lakes... So many great beers out there, hard to compare them all, especially comparing different styles.
4. Centennial IPA by Founders

Protips:

If its not handcrafted and costs over $3 a bottle is not beer and you should die horribly.

If the beer isn't regional its made by a heartless US corporation and they don't care about quality, thus you are drinking piss and should die horribly.

The only thing that defines a lager is the type of yeast you use dummy. Doppelbock is a style for example which is a lager. Same way that IPA is a style wich is an ale.

[Anonymous No.5211451]

>>5211309
Ale means you use top fermentation, lager means you use bottom fermentation. A stout is an ale but so is an amber ale, a doppelbock is a lager but so is a pilsner. It's idiotic to refer to answer "Lager" to a question regarding your favourite style. That's be the same as saying that your favourite style of beer is beer.

The problem with proclaiming your own nation's beer as the best is that there's only really handfuls of people who have actually tasted beers from the world over, which is expensive and at times, hard to accomplish.
Hell, even in the US, if you live in one region, 100% chance you're not going to get any beers from another region due to the size of the brewery and the goddamn distribution system that favors the big breweries.
I live on the West Coast, we can't get much of anything from the East Coast or Mid-West except for a very few. Same applies the other way around. Not to mention 3-4 nano/micro-breweries that just opened up in and around my city, with one of them producing pretty legit beers (Almanac in San Francisco) that most likely doesn't reach beyond the state.

I think UK has a pretty strong and varied brewing tradition: pale ale, stouts, porter, mild, strong ale, barley wine etc, all come from england originally. I'd say it's equally as interesting and varied as Germany for instance, Belgium is probably another level though.

Nowadays there's a lot of interesting new things going on in British beer too, mostly because of influence from newer American breweries. Lots of microbreweries doing all sorts of wild and wonderful stuff, that exist next to thousands of small traditional brewers.

I'd say America probably makes better beer (I'd say it's the best in the world overall frankly) but the UK has a stronger beer culture. Every pub will have at least 3 ales on tap as well as better lager than what you'd find in the average American bar.

As for recommendations, you can't go far wrong with fullers for traditional styles of beer. For more modern stuff, check out the Kernel brewery.

Sierra Nevada recently opened a tasting room in Berkeley. Pretty awesome, and I had a couple bourbon-barrel aged beers for the first time. 13% or so and a really distinct taste.

I'm assuming you went to Chico though where I'm sure they have a hell of a lot more.

>I'd say America probably makes better beer (I'd say it's the best in the world overall frankly)

That's a bit parochial, don't you think? The US might make a lot of great beer, by volume, or by number of breweries (not sure about per capita) but as soon as you start saying shit like that you get into that pre-craft time of one's life when you defended one awful beer against another. Really, what makes a brewery at the top level better than another? If the beer is as good, it's only emotion that carries it over the other.

1. Australia
2. Right now I could murder an IPA or a Cooper's Sparkling Ale. It depends, maybe Black IPA is a cheap compromise on styles I like?
3.Another tough call. Had a beer tasting night once, I "curated it", after the main tasting, around and after dinner had a few Rauchbiers. Shlenkerla, Haandbryggeriet, De Molen's smoked beers. Shit was great, but if the beer's all good it's as much about the company.
4.White Rabbit Dark Ale. If it wasn't for that I could have done some boasting about my previous session. Oh well.

Perhaps APA, but a well balanced trippel IPA is also very good (and I also love sour beer, saison, hefeweisen...) I can't really land on one style.

Hmmmm, perhaps Ægir IPA, or Kinn Slåtteol, or some other beer I can't remember right now, can't really land one on beer in particular.

American Sour is even a recognized category by the Brewers Association. It's categorized by the complexity of the acids and tartness and less so by the barrel aging process. Fruity esters and hop character from dry hopping are also much more common.

1. What country do you live in
Finland
2. What the best type of beer in your opinion.
I tend to like ales and stouts with a modern twist the best. But I enjoy all kinds.

3. What is the best beer you've ever had.
I'm not really sure. I like Guinness a lot especially the stronger versions with more taste. But Punk IPA and Rip Tide stout are also 5/5 candidates. Ridgeway Imperial Porter is one of the best too. Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier is maybe the best lager I've had. Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA is maybe the best IPA I've had.

4. What is the last beer you've had
Libertine Black Ale (Brewdog.)
