[Anonymous No.7953548]

Sort of a reference to the west coast beer hate, something I've noticed sampling beers in different areas of the world from different areas in the world is that lots of beers tend to taste worse the further you are from where they were brewed.

I don't know if it's something that happens during shipping, exposure to light or differing temperatures, or even just aging, but a west coast beer purchased on the east coast is definitely not as good as if you purchased it on the west coast and vice versa.

The Dogfish IPA I drank when I was in Oregon did not taste as good as when I was in New Jersey, and the Rogue IPA I drank in New Jersey was not nearly as good as when I drank it in Oregon. Also, I've never had a good Guiness in the US.

remember too that flyovers have a really hard time dealing with different opinions and values than their own, because they define "good person" as "a person who is similar to me" and they define "bad person" as "a person who is unlike me"

Weyerbacher 21. It's the best stout I've ever had, but it's a tricky beast to drink properly. You have to let it sit in the glass and cool off, preferably with a wide rim, as the ABV can rip through the actual taste easily. Look for it now because it's very limited, being a birthday beer.

So, me posting a reason there really isn't much for good beer in Asia is deflection? I'd call it supporting my argument.
There also isn't good cheese in Asia. Should we discuss why that might be, or are you going to cry and point out a couple mediocre cheese makers out there?

Pic related is my cap collection. Some day i'll do something with them. Wish I could remember half of them, probably should have gotten a journal.

Most recent new things were:
Oskar Blues Beerito - Fucking awesome. Smooth as hell
Avery Brewing's "Liliko'i Kepolo" - A bit too fruity for me, but not bad.
21st Amendment 's "Toaster Pastry" - Didn't taste the supposed stuff they used, but pretty good.
Brasserie de Silly's La Divine Tripel - Didn't like it or the dubbel blonde.
Sonoma Cider "Washboard" (Vanilla Sasparilla) - Vanilla taste was really weak, average cider.
Sam Smith Pale and Chocolate Stout - Pale was probably the most unremarkable of the Sam Smiths i've had so far. Chocolate was good, but I'm not as into stouts lately as I used to be.
Stift Engelszell's "Gregorius" - Same as with the Sillys, haven't liked either of the two I've had.
Curious Traveler's "Lemon Shandy" - Leinenkugel's is better.

Last beer I had that I really loved was Full Sail's pilsner, or the Beerito. Might be going on some medication soon which will mean I can't drink alcohol for a few months, so hit me with the good recommendations for late summer/early fall stuff now. Maybe one good fruity shandy, Traveler didn't deliver. Probably pick up the peach Kreik lambic alternatively.
In Alaska so my options are comparatively limited.
