Beer thread, what you drinkin..

[Kuba]

As a beer enthusiast, the most frustrating part of this thread is the lack of distribution in my area. Sure I can get great local beers like Ommegang, Chatham, and even drive an hour for a pint of Suarez Family Saison, but 1/2 of what interests me in this thread isn’t available.

Where I live it's the opposite

I live quite close to Barnard Castle, so had to get some of this. It is indeed hazy, - not bad, but not great either - made up for by the fact that profit from sales fund their production of free hand sanitizer for the NHS and other key workers.

Beer with a boombox...Whats not to like?

 

[Soniclife]

So what you all doing ? I'm off beer but you can't all be sober sad bastards like me .?

I've mainly been drinking don't brewdog beers, there was free shipping, I was week, and I wanted some larger in the house. I'm still undecided about their lost larger, my normal go to larger is Urquell, this is much blander than that classic, yet I keep going back for more. I was drinking punk IPA tonight, I do like that.

Pale Ale tonight...

Which beers are making you thirsty?

The Tempest, Ayinger, Abbaye-Abdij to name only a recent few of the many I would love to try.

 

[TLEDDY]

Grolsch is a favorite...

I'm from Milwaukee originally, and an Old Style badge (from a tap handle) mounted as a hood ornament on the rust bucket car was de rigueur (ahem) for anyone headed up North on highway fordy wun to go deer huntin'.

Like the label. Sadly, your review echoes my feelings on nearly all Brewdog (and collabs of theirs) I have tried. Even the best are nothing to write home about.

 

[egellings]

I agree. I used to do home brewing, and then really good beers became readily available, those made with just 4 ingredients, one of which is water, and the others are barley, hops & yeast.

Oh, and I'll have you know, I am enjoying a nice brewski as I write, as required, as required. Grammatical & spelling errors are likely to increase in frequency as time goes by. Stereo sounds better, too.

The beer is fine, your taste buds are simply not resolving enough

Just dont go full zythophile on me and tell me I'm using the wrong type of glass.

 

[egellings]

Any glass that gets it to the beer hole on my face works for me.

Beer tasting platter. The first 3 were local craft beers, the last one, Coedo Beniaka (Japan) might be of most interest here. It is brewed with sweet potato. Shochu meets beer. Savoury, starchy, sweet. I get a bit of kumquat and cola too.

My weakness is for the Trappists, even the mass produced ones. This will make for (yet another...) nice leisurely evening at home.

First cask conditioned beer for me in months, courtesy of the local pubs takeout service. This is wonderful in a beer garden in perfect weather, but you cannot have everything.

Slut, shameful slut.
