Beer general

Oh shit I can't wait til we get it in Chicago.

Tonight I'm having lagunitas born yesterday, off color scurry, and maybe one of my Firestone Walker barrel aged with the grilled Cornish hens I'm going to make.

Oh, and the Cornish hens will be misquite smoked while the firestone walker choices are helldorado and velvet merkin.

Which do you think would pair better?

Is grapefruit ipa a meme beer?

What I'm drinking at the minute. Lovely actually, can't help but think it would be brilliant in a beef stew.

meme? maybe.

low effort "craft" beer, yes.

citradelic or go home

So today I went to a in-house meeting by our nations public procurement department.

Ofcourse, in the end they had one of those 'drinks & networking' to finish things up.

Being not good at socialising I quickly turned to the bar. This being the government, they had some damn good locally brewed pricey beer. Pic related

As a broke college student I am indulging myself this weekend with the champagne of beers

Got a few PBRs on the backburner too

bump

Looking for more winter releases here in the PNW

Did I fuck up spending $12 on this?

12 dollars for a 6 pack of craft belgian? Yes, you fucked up a little. I wouldn't pay more than 9 dollars for it

Dun did good

We just got their citra at my store (I work there)

The Cornish hens turned out great. Misquite works perfectly with it. Had a nice pink smoke ring and everything. Kind of mauled them a bit when there was a flare up that wouldn't die, but they were delicious. Had a New Glarus cranberry lambic with it.

Golden monkey is pretty overpriced, and its a pretty mediocre tripel. If you want a good American made one that's not too hard to get, try Troeg's LaGrave or Blind Squirrel. If you want something actually high quality, try something like Westmalle tripel or La Fin Du Monde.

I remember browsing the beer store one day and left that on the shelf because I hadn't heard of it at that time. I still kick myself over that.

I need to see if they have any in stock around here. That shit is excellent.

I saw it at the grocery store in Milwaukee today, so its probably in Chicago too

Also, I bought some of this stuff today, excellent newer brewery

I'm heading down to work soon, and I think we're got this really good APA on tap that I'm going to try

oh shit, also had some Black Husky Pale Ale, Citra Version today, which was absolutely amazing, right up there with Pseudo Sue and Zombie Dust

OP here, bought a bottle of this yesterday and trying it out for the first time right now

Kind of underwhelming porter but has a strong finish. 7.5% in case you were wondering

Are other beers from that brewery anything special? Seen it around but not in person

Nice porters. I'm drinking this one from a really good New Jersey brewery.

Honestly never tried anything else from that brewery but might look into it. After finishing the bottle I will say it wasn't that bad, definitely give it a try if you see it but i've had better porters

Who /Hefe-weizen/ here? Currently drinking a Paulaner

The oktoberfest version is shit

Xocoveza is pretty good, just got a six pack recently.

OP here again

Just tried this campfire stout. Honestly takes me back to my days in boy scouts, it really does have a strong taste of smores with marshmallow in particular taking center stage

Definitely recommended if you ever see it. Has a nice taste and strong finish. Only 6.5%

Paulaner is pretty meh in general. I prefer Franziskaner or Weihenstephaner.

Not the same guy but I actually prefer paulaner hefe to the other two. It has a faint smokiness to it that I love. At least it did last time I had it. It's been a few years.

Cute label. Would buy it on that alone.

Yeah they have got a nice simple style. No goofy names on their beers either.

Had this not too long ago. The bourbon has really smoothed out, very enjoyable but kinda pricey.

12 or 13?

just bought a bottle of this

Good choice. Their coffee stout is great as well, and only 5$ near me.

pretty much all of Central Waters 22oz bottles and 4 pack stuff is amazing
Their older 6 pack beers are mostly meh, but they are really an excellent brewery now

Their horseshoes and hand grenades apa was bretty gud this summer. I think rush river out did then on the pale ale though

Yeah, I thought the HHG was pretty good. haven't tried any Rush River stuff, which of their stuff is worth trying? I see it at grocery stores sometimes but never tried any

Double bubble is a good hop slam replacement imo. That and their pale ale are all I can endorse. Haven't tried much else from them desu.

>burgers will never try the best beer in the world
I almost feel bad for you

>green bottle
>lager
>best beer

Supposed to drink that shit from the can!

It's finally getting colder in California so I can justify drinking this at 3 PM.

im so fucking triggered that you poured that you mong

even the guy on the can poured it into a glass though. It's a very contradictory can.

My local Kansas City brewery Boulevard just put out Funky Pumpkin, a sour spiced pumpkin ale. It's AMAZING. never find good sour beers this cheap.

stay in kansas

what's your beef bruv. Also whenever people talk about Kansas City they mean Missouri.

Do east coasters seriously not pour that shit into a glass?

...

You're not supposed to

why?

Ask the brewer

I mean I have your attention right now and not his, so I would rather just ask you

And I have no idea why, it just says so on the can.

...

Having worked in breweries I can say that canning machines are always gross. I'm sure nothing gets in the actual beer but no fucking way am I putting my lips to a beer can.

so good

>following instructions is somehow retarded
I can't even get the beer, but if I did I would take the recommendation of the brewery and drink it from the can

Do you guys know of any good beer documentaries? I'm trying to get into beer, particularly craft beers with quality. Until recently I found out that beer can be enjoyed similar to tea or wine, that it can be cozy and not annoying like dudebro buffalo wild wings culture.

>13
Doesn't exist mate
12 master race all the way though.

Pilsner Urquell is 20x better than that piss.

try michael jackson beer hunter
I've only seen shitty vhs rips from worn tapes though
outdated in some aspects but it's better than anything more recent that I've seen (that shit doco on netflix that must have been crowdfunded or something)

Fresh Pilsner Urquell makes all other beer taste like piss.

How Beer Saved The World is quite good. It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek expose of how beer has contributed to various cultural and technological advances in human history. Light on hard science but pretty comfy.

While semi-scripted there was that series with Dogfish Head, it shows some shit like how an infected FV can lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars lost along with other infection issues. It's okay.

Drinking Shipyard's Pumpkinhead. I love it. My favorites are Stouts. Any stout will do.

>friend ordered a stout last night
>I ordered an amber ale (some kind of Lighthouse tap)
>my beer was darker than his
Aren't Stouts supposed to be heavy and dark? At least mine was malty and not hoppy, I was hungover and I had to choke down a Two Hearted Ale earlier.

>
you guys know what its about

Some stouts are heavy and dark but others like Guinness are dark but extremely light. People expect them to be heavier than they really are just by the sight.

It's very strange for a stout to not be black or near black though.

Yea at first I thought she confused our orders but then I remembered that he had ordered his while I was in the bathroom.

His drink looked more like an amber ale to me. I remember the brewery that his stout was from was Dark Horse. The tap looked like a shotgun.

A couple of bottles that I have been saving

Not just strange, but contrary to style guidelines. You either weren't served a stout, or some brewery fucked up and wasn't smart enough to reclassify their fuckup.

Nothing special

Just a quick blurry snap into the fridge.
Left to right:
>Adnams Ghost Ship
>Westmalle Dubbel
>Lagunitas IPA
>Delirium Tremens
>Sierra Nevada Torpedo
>Hoegaarden
>London Pride
Pretty good haul overall imho

Tell me how the Delirium is, I've been looking at it for a while

Good, but over-rated. Not worth the effort & cost to get hold of when you can just get St Bernardus 12.

>tfw still have a bunch of IPA's saved from the beginning of the summer and from over a month ago
Are these still good if I haven't kept them refrigerated? A lot of them are from Sierra Nevada.

I was driving to Dunkirk from Germany and the abbey was more or less on the way. Seemed foolish not to drop in and get a few bottles.

Fuck off. Seriously mate? In a clear bottle!? You never heard of light-struck? Enjoy your 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol

Fair enough

nice

Mediocre supermarket fayre
