As a long-time embiber of Budweiser and Labatt Blue, I was a little skeptical of the new Bud Select given that is low-carb and 99 calories. However, I must admit that it is pretty damn good. The scary part is that it really doesn't fill you up so you'll have to rley on your drunkeness warning system to get yourself to stop.

There ain't enough Ice Tea on Long Island
Enough Scotch in Scotland
Enough English Gin in England
Enough Vodka in Russia
Enough Tequila in Mexico
Enough Bud in St. Looie
Enough Miller in Wisconsin
Enough Coke in Colombia
to make the Muskrat look good.

You can fill up on beer?
After six Gunineesnessses, you can fill up.
I know the cartoon-y English guys tell you not to drink six at once, and it's not because of the alcohol content (six of those is like drinking three Buds), it's because your belly feels like it's full of gruel. It's my favorite beer, but it'll turn your tummy black.
Have a nice, tall Dinckel Acker Weiss, it'll make you feel like you drank a loaf of bread...
I can drink Guiness all day. All freakin' day. I think the most I've ever had in one sitting was a dozen. I got plenty drunk, but I never once thought "I can't drink another one."
I also took a dump the next day that looked a lot like Gary Coleman.
It's why Guinness is the perfect beer. Your hangover only lasts until your bowels make a move.
This is a particular pet peeve of mine, and it doesn't end with beer, I guess:
Line extension, the marketing device in which one company offers many, many brands to try to cater to all audiences.
Fer example: A/B, from top to bottom: Michelob, Michelob Light, Michelob Ultra, Michelob Bock, Budweiser, Bud Light, Bud Select, Bud Ice, Busch, Busch Light, Natural Light
And, I'm sure I forgot several.
Miller: Lowenbrau, MGD, MGD Light, Lite, Lite Ice, Icehouse, Red Dog, Miller High Life, High Life Light, Meister Brau, Meister Brau Light, and on and on.
Hey, guys, why not pool your resources to make just a few beers, make them as tasty and as efficiently as possible, save ton$ on advertising and marketing expenses...go with a flagship beer, a light beer, a "premuim" beer and a "cost leader".
so: Michelob, Bud, Bud Light, and Busch. MGD, Lite, High Life, and Icehouse, since for me it brings back so many fond memories of throwing midgets out of second story windows.
Keep it simple, stupid.
That is all.

Back in my college days, I wanted to invent the cheapest, worst-tasting beer of all time. It'd be called "Binge Beer," naturally. We'd have zero advertising, except for what it'd say on the bottle. The many slogans would include:
"If you're still able to drink and drive, you haven't had enough!"
"What do you mean you can still speak coherantly?"
"For the sophisticated alcoholic."
"If you can still distinguish your girlfriend from all the other pieces of ass, you need more!"
"Who cares how we make it? It's cheap, and it'll get you trashed!"
"If you wind up in a coma, you'll sleep right through the hangover."
"Suddenly, your bitchy girlfriend won't be so annoying."
"It'll make college the best six years of your life!"
"Beer goggles included."
"You'll never have such a fun time getting your stomach pumped."
"We redefine hung-over!"
"Drink two cases,* get a third case for free!"
*in one night
And so on.

Schaefer's slogan used to be "The beer to have when you're having more than one". Translation:"A good cheap drunk"...
My favorite slogan comes from my favorite beer.
"Because life is too short to drink cheap beer."Â -- Warsteiner.
Warsteiner's Premium Dunkel tastes like beer wasn't meant to be made any other way. The Premium Verum is just like any other beer, but the dunkel is in league with the cosmos. Fate brought us this drink -- no other origin could explain its splendor!
Newcastle and Bass also have quite a rivalry for runners-up, along with the Guinny. Sam Adams Cream Stout had a pretty distinct taste, but is a bit rich for non-chocolate fanatics. Leinenkugel's, brewed about 90 minutes away from here in Chippewa Falls, has a good variety of styles including their Creamy Dark. You probably can now tell my prefered taste in beer, but I do have a limited scope. Any dark drinkers with some good recommendations?
As far as the domestic piss-fest, I'll take a Coors Original. Icehouse isn't as sharp, but has the extra 0.5% to make up the difference. Plus it's classier than all-get-out. Speaking of classy, I was shocked to see a major omission in this list:

Buddy, where's the Natty Ice! The pinnacle of class, at 5.9% a pop! Nothing like a warm Natural Ice at 5:45am after 23 previous NatIce's.
And the heavyweights, I just recently tangled with that gnarly Schlitz Bull Ice (8.2%) to no avail. I've also had Camo (could never find it in Iowa), and now have just discovered the wildcat Jaguar (8.3% + energy drink shit I think?). I'll tame the cat sometime, but my drink intake is near non-existant anymore -- the Warsteiner I had last night was my first in months.
Also I must add that I do not condone any type of light beer in any sort of way.

OE is still one of the best, but St. Ides is #1. OE is a lot easier to find, however. And it's a steal at only about $2.50 a piece.
I nominate King Kobra in the malt liquor, high school budget category.
Sam Adams Liightship gets the nod in the "light" category.
Never had a Corona and never will after seeing the empties being refilled in a "community" urinal tub in Rocky Point, Mexico and re-packaged (20 to a case) and re-sold by the locals to fellow spring breakers too lit to notice the difference (not that there is much difference).
I think Cisco is malt liquor...I only had it once. I swear, it's liquid crack...
I drank mostly St'ides and Mickey's (at $1.99 a forty). One day though our local liquor sote had a new banner that read "The Eagle has Landed" promoting Eagle malt liquor for $.99 a forty - my god it was horrible. I haven't seen it since I left college.
Bump.
I've never seen this outside of Badgerland, but if you ever find it in Chicago and you're a fan of hoppy pale ales (e.g. Sierra Nevada), pick yourself up a sixer.

Quote from: CT Cubs Fan 38I don't know if its been done before but I figured why not. I'm trying to get some ideas as I am notoriously picky when it comes to Homer Simpson's beverage of choice.
What are your favorites people?
Quote from: DerwoodI used to be a beer snob, but then realized that most microbrews tasted like nine kinds of ass, so...
My beer of choice (esp on tap) is Yuengling, but that's not available everywhere. I also like JW Dundee's Honey Brown Ale, Killian's Red, Newcastle, Rolling Rock, MGD.....pretty much most common lagers you find on tap at restaurants.
Quote from: Keener98Bud Light Im boring. Also Blue Moon
Quote from: BI haven't really drank since I was in high-school, but back then I always liked Bud Ice.
Quote from: Bob SandersQuote from: earth2seanQuote from: Bob SandersI've always been a huge fan of Budweiser, and I'm drinking Select almost exclusively now. Killian's is another of my favorites, but anymore I have to be in a mood to get it. My wife's uncle has a neighbor from Canada, so I occasionally score some really good Molson. Beats the hell out of the stuff you get in the stores around here.
I taste almost no difference between Molson and Budweiser.
get some from Canada -- you'll feel a difference
Quote from: apete6Domestic: Coors Light for all night drinking, Bud Select is probably the tastiest though
Micro/Less Popular: Blue Moon is awesome as are a lot of its "followers" like Leinie's Sunset Wheat and some other wheat beers. Goose Island 312 is also very awesome. I am also a fan of most of the Sam Adams and Leinenkugel's brews. Sprecher from Milwaukee also rocks.
Trivia Question/Answer: Where was Blue Moon invented? Answer: The brew pub at Coors Field in Denver.
Imports: Pacifico (for some reason like it better than Corona) and Smithwick's (this is my overall favorite)
Also, if you are ever in South Carolina, Palmetto Amber Ale is awesome and if you are in Tampa, FL area, the Dunedin Brewing Company puts out some top notch products.
Quote from: CDBears1259My favorites, no particular order:
Coors Original
Bud Select (current favorite)
Abita Beer (any of them except Turbodog and Purple Haze)
Blue Moon
Killian's Red
Newcastle
Pete's Strawberry Blonde
Bud Light
Michelob Ultra and Honey Lager
Quote from: MPriorSo the answer to your question is that there really is no good answer to your question, as it depends very heavily on taste.
For example, I love Blue Moon, which many people have suggested already. But I really don't like any of the Samuel Adams beers I've tasted, which is another popular choice (or Yuengling for that matter), and I'm shocked that so many people like Budweiser, as it is not only a product of St. Louis, but it is also made of fermented Clydesdale urine.
Some of my favorites:
Blue Moon
Newcastle
Fat Tire
Bass
Grolsch
Honey Brown
Black and Tan
Guinness (sometimes - it's in its own category)
Numerous microbrews (the ones I'm thinking of are generally very small and very local to the Western North Carolina area).
Oh, and Mike's Hard Lemonade Lite.

Just kidding.

underage drinking, which is why they are constantly throwing people out of the bleachers for doing it.

Then Wallace gathered his police together and they blew a mighty blast on their bullhorns and the walls came tumbling down. And they burnt the city and there was a great Dixie Fry."

I've been making out with a lot of 90 Schilling (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/267/740) lately from Odell.
It's my favorite beer of the moment.
Odell also has a decent Red Ale for the summer, it's almost like a Red IPA (6.5%), which is unique. I'll enjoy it over the summer, but I won't miss it when it's gone.
Between 1554 and 90 Schilling, I would probably spend the rest of my days as a
drunken hobo very happy
married single man if I ever moved to Ft. Collins.

I've never seen that beer here - wonder if it's available. You're out west right? Wondering if you can get Pliny the Elder anywhere. That is the best IPA I have ever tasted. The smell alone is worth the cost.

I've never seen that beer here - wonder if it's available. You're out west right? Wondering if you can get Pliny the Elder anywhere. That is the best IPA I have ever tasted. The smell alone is worth the cost.
Yes, Arizona...so lots of access to good West Coast microbrews.
Never had Pliny the Elder, or any of the Russian River beers, though I've long wanted to try them. Haven't seen them at our local beer-o-rama (http://www.totalwine.com/) (place rocks) or Whole Foods...usually between those 2 places I can find most anything that's available in this area.
Maybe I'll get lucky and the Beer of the Month (JPen is a fabulous woman) will be that next month.
If you're looking for a good IPA, I had the Stone IPA (Levitation Ale) a couple weeks ago, not sure if you can get it there, but it was pretty solid.
edit: Looks like the snobs at BA are classifying Levitation as an Amber, but it certainly felt like an IPA, same hoppiness.

I just picked up a Hop Stoopid and a Wico Tango Foxtrot. Really looking forward to both.
Also, Sofie is tasty - I hear it's going to be on tap at Goose on Clybourn.
I've been making out with a lot of 90 Schilling (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/267/740) lately from Odell.
It's my favorite beer of the moment.

Stone just arrived in Chicago a month ago or so. I've had a couple of them and plan to try them all at some point.

I edited my last post since it appears Levitation isn't a technical IPA, though it sure seemed like one.
Don't know if the Oaked Arrogant Bastard came over with the rest of the Stone products, it's pretty pricey (cheapest I've seen is $12.99 for a 6 pack) but it has a pretty unique flavor and will put you on your ass if you have more than 3 or so, which is especially awesome if you have young children.

If only Prior were good for 8 in game 6... (weeps)
Made a quick beer run to Binny's. Father in law is flying in tomorrow so I wanted to have something interesting for us to sit around and drink while I nod, laugh and pretend to understand the version of English he speaks.
Picked up a sixer of Lagunitas' new Hairy Eyeball ale. At 8.8 ABV I'm sure this will kick my ass in. It's an American Strong Ale which essentially just means ales that are over 7%.
Also grabbed a large bottle of Stone's Old Guardian which is a barleywine which my brother (who has actually taken the first part of the exams to become a Cicerone (http://www.cicerone.org/content/view/59/79/)) is quite fond of. I like to call him when I'm walking the aisles to find out what's good. He's a beer savant, no lie. Anyway, this one clocks in at 11.20% ABV which should be deadly.
Finally I found their last bottle of Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout which clocks in at a wobbly 18% ABV. Most people can't finish the 12 oz. bottle without splitting it as it will wreck the finest of men. I have heard tales of this drink mixed with their 120 Minute IPA called Heaven and Hell which just sounds too awesome to describe.

Had the Hairy Eyeball last weekend. It was good. Reminded me of another beer that I had before but I can't remember. Budweiser maybe?

Lagunitas has another strong one called Brown Shugga...it's something like 9.8%.
Not bad...I liked one, didn't like 3.
I think it's seasonal b/c I haven't seen it in a few months.
120 Minute IPA? I was unaware of this, have had the 60 and 90....also had a chance to try Dogfish's Raison d'etre lately, a really, really interesting beer. Doesn't taste like anything I've ever had before.
In typical Dogfish fashion it's 8%+.
As for tonight, I'm about to embark on a Stout adventure, bought a mix 6-pack of six different types of Stouts to see if I can find a new favorite.
Details to follow.
Beer is wonderful.

The 120 Minute IPA is amazing. You have to find it when they make a new batch. It's been awhile since they've distributed it so it's not something you'll likely find until they put out more. It's what you think it is - 18% ABV and a 12 oz. bottle goes for around 10 bucks. I had my first at a place called Jerry's on Division and it knocked me silly. One bottle will have you spinning. It's to be consumed very slowly in a small glass. Really good with cheese. If it comes back out and you can't find any, I'd easily ship one to you. It's that good.
Damn, sons. Now I feel like a Chad for drinking nothing but Dos Equis Amber and Birra Morretti all weekend.

Since I know you've all be anxiously awaiting the results of the Stout-off...
First, I should admit that I've always found Bell's Brewery to be a little overrated by people who rate things, but I'll have to give the nod to their Kalamazoo Stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/1117) as the winner of the 5-bottle Stout-off (completed over a two night period.)
Scored an 8-Ball (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/256/5045) from the fine folks at Lost Coast Brewing for 2nd place tie with Black Hawk Stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/200/1520).
4th place was the Steel Toed Milk Stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/923/28993) from Ska Brewing company, which was definitely not one of their best efforts. Ska does an awesome job with the Buster Nut Brown and the 10-Pin Porter, but this was definitely lacking in punch. Maybe it's just a function of the "Milk Stout" but it's almost too creamy and smooth, lacking any discernible personality until the very end.
And, bringing up the rear, by a good margin was the Obsidian Black (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/63/197) from Deschutes, who should probably just stick to the Mirror Pond.
Not surprisingly, Beer Advocate ranked my least favorite as the best of all of them.
Still to try, the Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/112/412), which packs 9.0%, probably give that a whirl tonight.

Old Rasputin is incredible.. you can get it on tap at some fine establishments in Chicago. I've learned that drinking them like a domestic for an hour to start the night is a bad idea.

My greatest ever holiday was Sicily in 2006 when STonk was up the duff with Tonklet no. 1. We spent a week in and around Palermo and then rented a convertible and drove across the Island to spend a week on the slopes of Mount Etna. I drank the large (660ml) bottles of Birra Moretti, ice cold, to the exclusion of almost everything else all the time I was there. I really, really enjoyed it.

When I studied in Itally, I tended to gravitate towards Moretti over Peroni* because of this guy. I swear he looks even drunker on the cans than he does on the bottles.

At Fornello's - Irving Park and Sheridan - they have a pretty good-sized mural of this bloke painted back by the johns. I took a cool picture of myself with him on my cell. You don't want to see that. But go to Fornello's, get the veal parm and check out this mural by the restroom. You won't be disappointed.

Definitely need to give this a shot though.

The kits are actually pretty idiot-proof, but it is a pain in the neck to do. Plus, I have to switch the connections on my kegerator from regular kegs to the mini-kegs, which is also a pain. In conclusion, buying is a hell of a lot easier.

My brother makes his own beer. It's pretty darn good, especially his IPA. I can also get the same or better tasting IPAs when I want them for a few dollars instead of waiting months for him and his douchebag friends to brew another batch.

So, during a recent (okay, 30 seconds ago) perusing of BA, I came across a style of beer, "American Wild Ale" that was totally foreign to me.
Looked at some of the descriptions of the beers, sound very...
interesting.Quote
Sometimes Belgian influenced, American Wild Ales are beers that are introduced to "wild" yeast or bacteria, such as: Brettanomyces (Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, Brettanomyces Lambicus or Brettanomyces Anomolus), Pediococcus or Lactobacillus. This introduction may occur from oak barrels that have been previously inoculated, pitched into the beer, or gained from various "sour mash" techniques. Regardless of which and how, these little creatures often leave a funky calling card that can be quite strange, interesting, pleasing to many, but also often deemed as undesirable by many.
Most of the ones I read talk about various fruits and a lot of mentions of "sour."
Anyone ever have one of these (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/171/?start=0)? Juliet, by Goose Island (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/45368) is on the list, didn't know if anyone had tried that one (or any of the others).
Though sounds like if you do go and try and Juliet, be prepared, because all of the reviewers are talking about the bottles opening with quite a bit of "gushing."

Made a quick beer run to Binny's. Father in law is flying in tomorrow so I wanted to have something interesting for us to sit around and drink while I nod, laugh and pretend to understand the version of English he speaks.
Picked up a sixer of Lagunitas' new Hairy Eyeball ale. At 8.8 ABV I'm sure this will kick my ass in. It's an American Strong Ale which essentially just means ales that are over 7%.
Also grabbed a large bottle of Stone's Old Guardian which is a barleywine which my brother (who has actually taken the first part of the exams to become a Cicerone (http://www.cicerone.org/content/view/59/79/)) is quite fond of. I like to call him when I'm walking the aisles to find out what's good. He's a beer savant, no lie. Anyway, this one clocks in at 11.20% ABV which should be deadly.
Finally I found their last bottle of Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout which clocks in at a wobbly 18% ABV. Most people can't finish the 12 oz. bottle without splitting it as it will wreck the finest of men. I have heard tales of this drink mixed with their 120 Minute IPA called Heaven and Hell which just sounds too awesome to describe.
Lagunitas has another strong one called Brown Shugga...it's something like 9.8%.
Not bad...I liked one, didn't like 3.
I think it's seasonal b/c I haven't seen it in a few months.
120 Minute IPA? I was unaware of this, have had the 60 and 90....also had a chance to try Dogfish's Raison d'etre lately, a really, really interesting beer. Doesn't taste like anything I've ever had before.
In typical Dogfish fashion it's 8%+.
As for tonight, I'm about to embark on a Stout adventure, bought a mix 6-pack of six different types of Stouts to see if I can find a new favorite.
Details to follow.
Beer is wonderful.
The 120 Minute IPA is amazing. You have to find it when they make a new batch. It's been awhile since they've distributed it so it's not something you'll likely find until they put out more. It's what you think it is - 18% ABV and a 12 oz. bottle goes for around 10 bucks. I had my first at a place called Jerry's on Division and it knocked me silly. One bottle will have you spinning. It's to be consumed very slowly in a small glass. Really good with cheese. If it comes back out and you can't find any, I'd easily ship one to you. It's that good.
So, I don't know if it was a new one or a remnant from last batch, but at Whole Foods this weekend they had one single 12 oz. bottle of 120 Minute IPA available.
For $9.49.
Needless to say, I passed on it.

In your experience, is $9.49 for a single 12 oz bottle a worthwhile investment?

I think it's seasonal b/c I haven't seen it in a few months.
120 Minute IPA? I was unaware of this, have had the 60 and 90....also had a chance to try Dogfish's Raison d'etre lately, a really, really interesting beer. Doesn't taste like anything I've ever had before.
In typical Dogfish fashion it's 8%+.
As for tonight, I'm about to embark on a Stout adventure, bought a mix 6-pack of six different types of Stouts to see if I can find a new favorite.
Details to follow.
Beer is wonderful.
The 120 Minute IPA is amazing. You have to find it when they make a new batch. It's been awhile since they've distributed it so it's not something you'll likely find until they put out more. It's what you think it is - 18% ABV and a 12 oz. bottle goes for around 10 bucks. I had my first at a place called Jerry's on Division and it knocked me silly. One bottle will have you spinning. It's to be consumed very slowly in a small glass. Really good with cheese. If it comes back out and you can't find any, I'd easily ship one to you. It's that good.
So, I don't know if it was a new one or a remnant from last batch, but at Whole Foods this weekend they had one single 12 oz. bottle of 120 Minute IPA available.
For $9.49.
Needless to say, I passed on it. out after enjoying it.
No other acceptable answer.
In your experience, is $9.49 for a single 12 oz bottle a worthwhile investment?
For this beer, yes. Like I said I'll send you the damn beer if you're interested but can't part with the 10 dollars.
Go back and buy it, you damn fool.

Made a quick beer run to Binny's. Father in law is flying in tomorrow so I wanted to have something interesting for us to sit around and drink while I nod, laugh and pretend to understand the version of English he speaks.
Picked up a sixer of Lagunitas' new Hairy Eyeball ale. At 8.8 ABV I'm sure this will kick my ass in. It's an American Strong Ale which essentially just means ales that are over 7%.
Also grabbed a large bottle of Stone's Old Guardian which is a barleywine which my brother (who has actually taken the first part of the exams to become a Cicerone (http://www.cicerone.org/content/view/59/79/)) is quite fond of. I like to call him when I'm walking the aisles to find out what's good. He's a beer savant, no lie. Anyway, this one clocks in at 11.20% ABV which should be deadly.
Finally I found their last bottle of Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout which clocks in at a wobbly 18% ABV. Most people can't finish the 12 oz. bottle without splitting it as it will wreck the finest of men. I have heard tales of this drink mixed with their 120 Minute IPA called Heaven and Hell which just sounds too awesome to describe.

Well, I'm a little concerned that it's from the old batch, why would they only have one single bottle of it?
I'magonna wait until they have a few more in, hopefully by them my local beer place will have it and I can get it for $8.99 instead.

Just because you're right doesn't mean I have to like it.
I'm certain this will just make me appear like an unrefined douche, but y'all are damn fools for spending that kinda money on a 12 ounce beer.
There. I said it.

At 18%, it's more like 5 beers.
But, if you'd rather look at it another way, it's the equivalent of spending like $50 on a bottle of wine, which is certainly not cheap, but not something to get crazy over.

Well, I guess...I went with either the equivalent in beers from an ABV standpoint or the equivalent in wine by the # of servings standpoint.
But that was with the assumption that it was a normal beer, which is most certainly is not.

5 beers may be an exaggeration, but according to this (http://www.globalrph.com/bac.cgi), I'd still be over the legal limit after nearly two hours with a single 12 oz bottle of this stuff*, let alone the Foster's-sized can Huey says it should come in.

One of my favorite moments from the last Shitty O'Keas outing was during the TDubbs / Wheezer interaction when TDubbs was completely mystified by the unusual bottle in Wheezer's hand.
TDubbs - "What the fuck are you drinking?"
Wheezer shows him the bottle of something imported.
TDubbs - "Why the fuck are you so weird?"

One of my favorite moments from the last Shitty O'Keas outing was during the TDubbs / Wheezer interaction when TDubbs was completely mystified by the unusual bottle in Wheezer's hand.
TDubbs - "What the fuck are you drinking?"
Wheezer shows him the bottle of something imported.
TDubbs - "Why the fuck are you so weird?"
Everything about TDubbs and Wheezer meeting was perfect in every way.

I'm certain this will just me appear like an unrefined douche, but y'all are damn fools for spending that kinda money on a 12 ounce beer. There. I said it.
At 18%, it's more like 5 beers.
That.
5 beers may be an exaggeration, but according to this (http://www.globalrph.com/bac.cgi), I'd still be over the legal limit after nearly two hours with a single 12 oz bottle of this stuff*, let alone the Foster's-sized can Huey says it should come in.
*Fatties' mileage may vary.
10 bucks for 5 beers seems like a lot to me, too.
But, I am just an unrefined Bolshevik.
That's just $2.00 a beer, hoss. That's happy hour pricing, right there.
TDubbs has never paid less than $4.50 for a Miller Bud Light bottle.

After reading this, I stepped out on the porch to cop a square. I suddenly had a vision of myself and TDubbs cooking up a batch of candy caramel propellant. "That might be interesting," I thought, and immediately the paper match I was lighting exploded, giving me a number of small but painful burns.
The worst part is that the refrigerator repairman also caused all of my Similac Welcome Addition Club ice packs to thaw.

I'm certain this will just me appear like an unrefined douche, but y'all are damn fools for spending that kinda money on a 12 ounce beer. There. I said it.
At 18%, it's more like 5 beers.
That.
5 beers may be an exaggeration, but according to this (http://www.globalrph.com/bac.cgi), I'd still be over the legal limit after nearly two hours with a single 12 oz bottle of this stuff*, let alone the Foster's-sized can Huey says it should come in.
*Fatties' mileage may vary.
10 bucks for 5 beers seems like a lot to me, too.
But, I am just an unrefined Bolshevik.
That's just $2.00 a beer, hoss. That's happy hour pricing, right there.
TDubbs has never paid less than $4.50 for a Miller Bud Light bottle.
BH GETS IT!
Except that it's BOOD LIGHT.
One of my favorite moments from the last Shitty O'Keas outing was during the TDubbs / Wheezer interaction when TDubbs was completely mystified by the unusual bottle in Wheezer's hand.
TDubbs - "What the fuck are you drinking?"
Wheezer shows him the bottle of something imported.
TDubbs - "Why the fuck are you so weird?"
I wish the punchline was that it was a Corona.
This thread got so much more awesome when it got around to ripping on TDubbs. Remember his Netflix queue?
Remember it? We have a 76% similarity. You should know it better than anybody.
If the BOODvisor fits, Kerm...
Remember when this thread got around to ripping on Kerm?
Kerm as a child. When he was a girl.

Anyone try the Bell's Oberon Ale? (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/1094)
I had a guy tell me today that it's a must-have for summer.
I'm usually not a big wheat beer guy, but it did come highly recommended.
I recently had Bell's 2 Hearted Ale and the Kalamazoo Stout which were both excellent, though I'm not a big fan of their Amber.

Hopslam is awesome. I happened to be in Sam's Wines (now Binny's) the day it came in last year. It's expensive, but it's also 10% ABV. As the name implies, you better be a fan of hops to enjoy it.

Okay, well that's two "meh's" on Bells Oberon, which is good, now I don't have to force myself to trade some summer wheat ale that I didn't really want to try in the first place.
Work with a bunch of guys who are really into Zatek, though I've never had it.
They all swear by it.
But they also spend all day drawing pictures and wearing ironic t-shirts, so I haven't taken their word for it.

Make it three. It's been a while, but I don't recall it being anything I'd particularly seek out. Then again, I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow, so if anyone knows where it's on tap near the Belmont Red Line stop, perhaps I'll give it another whirl.

I practically bathe in Bell's Oberon in the summer. It's not the greatest beer on earth or anything but's easy to get around here and I like it.

Scored a 4-pack of 90 minute IPA for $6.99 today.

You could've gotten more if you had an extra fridge.
Maybe CT can move aside some of his Olive Garden leftovers and lease me some space.
You think I wouldn't finish my Olive Garden in one sitting? Pshaw.
That Sam Adams Summer Ale is pretty tasty.

Quote from: Wheezer on May 26, 2010, 11:49:45 PM
After reading this, I stepped out on the porch to cop a square. I suddenly had a vision of myself and TDubbs cooking up a batch of candy caramel propellant. "That might be interesting," I thought, and immediately the paper match I was lighting exploded, giving me a number of small but painful burns.
The worst part is that the refrigerator repairman also caused all of my Similac Welcome Addition Club ice packs to thaw.
That guy really did a number on you, didn't he?
One of my landlord's transitory nitwit lackeys disappeared my entire inventory of Similac ice packs this morning. This direct consequence of the refrigerator misadventure angers me not just in the sense that I now have to go explore the dumpster, but in that I found a strange box in the alley last night, large chits with only consonants and the vowel 'u' on them, along with about 70 loose playing cards and a sealed pack. What else says "divinatory system"?
But no. No, I mean, there's already a pile of refrigerator parts and former plastic contents on the porch labeled "IT ONLY LOOKS LIKE TRASH." Obviously, I had deliberately hidden the bag of ice packs 2 feet away. I might as well have painted on a Maltese cross.

Anyone try the Bell's Oberon Ale? (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/1094)
I had a guy tell me today that it's a must-have for summer.
I'm usually not a big wheat beer guy, but it did come highly recommended.
I recently had Bell's 2 Hearted Ale and the Kalamazoo Stout which were both excellent, though I'm not a big fan of their Amber.
I practically bathe in Bell's Oberon in the summer. It's not the greatest beer on earth or anything but's easy to get around here and I like it.
That's all I drank whilst in Michigan for this past long weekend. It was all my in-laws stocked at their place and they they even had it on tap at the restaurant I ate at Sunday night--Boatwerks in Holland--which is right on the water and would seem to fit in with the "Oberon is a must for the summer" kind of beers. Yes!

That was a long time ago before I'd discovered the glory of real beers. Newcastle doesn't do much for me anymore. I'll have one if there's not much to choose from. Otherwise it's no longer a viable option.
The fact that Newcastle comes in 5-liter party kegs makes it a very viable party option.

DPD...at a wedding this weekend at a Greek place was throwing back something called (I think), Avis.
Can't find it anywhere on the internets, pretty sure that's what it was called, but the memories from the night are pretty foggy.
Anyone ever heard of it or a greek beer with a similar name?
Would like to find the number of the truck that hit me.

Can't find it anywhere on the internets, pretty sure that's what it was called, but the memories from the night are pretty foggy.
Anyone ever heard of it or a greek beer with a similar name?

No wonder the bartender didn't find my "You try harder" joke funny any of the 12 times I said it.

I put off reading this thread for fear this was another Yammer story.
OK, it turns out that I probably[\*] found Oberon on tap last Saturday just around the corner. This was darker than I recalled and pretty good for an overcast Saturday afternoon, so I figured I'd try the bottles. I base this review on drinking straight from the bottle, as I think the troglodytes who insist that an essential quality of a summer beer is the amount of "lacing" it leaves on the glass should be mercilessly slaughtered.
Upon removing the crown cap, the aroma is distinctly of dirty diapers, and the beer measured 50 degrees Fahrenheit. After airing out, it revealed an underlying sweetness not unlike a missed bit of old spilled milk somewhere on the counter. The carbonation is coy, like 600 grit sandpaper. It is medium-bodied, with a flavor in the mouth that starts out with a hint of citrus but then veers strongly toward essence of vetivert. Essentially nothing on the finish.
Better than I recalled, and preferable to the Goose Island 312 in comparable circumstances. Not bad at $8.49 for a six-pack.
[\*] The waitress seemed confused. After recommending the "Bell's seasonal" and being asked whether it was the Oberon, she said that they only had that in bottles. We ordered three bottles, and she brought out three draft pints.

I have 10 left. I feel no need to make a Yukon Jack run, but I might go out for some more UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen if the weather is good.
A few quick beer comments from a week's vacation.
Not sure if it's available outside of NoCal (never seen it in AZ), but Sierra Nevada's Southern Hemisphere Hop Ale (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/140/42533) - I believe only available in one of those 22 oz. bombers. Really good.
Also, I know Stone is available in Chicago, and I think their IPA is fantastic, but the Ruination IPA (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/147/4083), which is their double, was just a little bitter/too much for me. For the serious hopheads, I assume you'll love it. The dudes at BA surely do.
Final one - I know Sam Adams has about 50 million different beers right now, some of which carry the moniker "Brewmaster's Collection." Not sure how many fall into this category or what it means and I haven't had hardly any of them, but their Cream Stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/1879), is really, really good, better than the Kalamazoo Stout I previously reported as being my favorite.

Holy crap - we haven't posted in the "Beer" thread for four years? What have we been doing with our lives?
I thought Magic Hat #9 was ghastly, if that helps.
Couldn't agree more Wheezer.
Had it this past weekend, tried 2 bottles on Saturday and figured to be fair I'd give it another chance on Sunday.
I gave the remaining 3 bottles away.
Apricots. Guh.
I drank lots and lots of beer last night. It's not important what kind.

Try the Pyramid apricot before dismissing the notion entirely. The cyanide overtones from the pits do come out if it's not cold enough, though.
DPD. I'm willing to declare the Leinenkugel's "Summer Shandy" a perfectly acceptable budget choice for swampy weather.
The "Raspberry Weiss" remains a simple invitation to overwhelming fruit-fly infestation.

That's the Leinenkugel one, right? I like that one, too.
In reference to Pen's Sam Adam's Cream Stout, I've never had it. But, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the head's up.
I had my first Paulener Hefe this past weekend. I don't know if that means I've been living under a rock or not or if it's popular, but I enjoyed it and picked up a sixer the next day. Also good were the Delerium Tremens and Warsteiner Dunkel.

DPD. I'm willing to declare the Leinenkugel's "Summer Shandy" a perfectly acceptable budget choice for swampy weather.
The "Raspberry Weiss" remains a simple invitation to overwhelming fruit-fly infestation.
Went to UW's Memorial Union Terrace tonight and they pitcher's of this for $9. Completely agree with you. Fuggin' cuakers or something.
I will go on record with my agreement.
Summer Shandy is good. Stiegl Radler is the same type of beer and is a lot better.
That's the Leinenkugel one, right?
Which? The Leinenkugel or the Stiegl?
Yes if the former, no if the latter.
That's the stuff made with Lemonade, right?
Very surprised to hear it's good, but pleased nonetheless.
Is it like "1-2 at most" good or "I can drink these all day" good?
Stop this right now. Summer Shandy is terrible. You're better off drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Slow down the hatewagon, blanco nino. We just said it was perfectly acceptable, not that it was spongeworthy.
Now, spongeworthy...

Forget the aluminum can gimmick, it's just fucking good.
I don't know if it's been covered here or not since I can't see most pictures due to my work filter, but I had one of these last night:
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oFbn7BDD4zg/SKc1XKv_SZI/AAAAAAAAAIg/jNNt9t0YmFk/s320/DSCN0076.JPG)
I liked it. Of course, I'm a fan of fruity beers. This beer isn't heavy, but it does have a 5.2% alcohol content. It's labeled as a banana bread beer, but the banana flavor isn't overly strong. It tastes more like an amber-style beer with sweet banana flavoring. Like I said, I liked it a lot. Which means I'm fully expecting Oleg to hate it and most everyone else here to point and laugh.
But, if you haven't tried it, give it a shot. Do grocery stores up there sell alcohol in them? I know some states don't allow it, or they are required to have separate alcohol sections, like in Florida. Anyway, if your local grocery store is known for having a decent selection of beers, they're more than likely to have Well's in single bottles on the cooler shelf.

When you decide to take your skirt off, grab a bud light bottle and meet Tdubbs near the broads and weight equipment.
Are you kidding me? Shandy is not beer.
I mean, really.
I think these fruity beer recommendations have gone on quite long enough.

Anyone ever had a Westvleteren 12?
I haven't.
So, on the 4th of July, I found myself in a conversation with some beer douche at a party I was at. (Incidentally, we'd started talking after trying some fruity barrel-aged eurobeer someone else had brought and I was remarking on how cider-y it tasted. He assured me that it was just beer and that the cider flavor was thanks to the aging. Regardless, it was fruity and IAN would probably love it.)
Gathering that he was the kind of douche to trade beers online and drink them only in beer-douche-approved glassware, I asked him about Westvleteren. Because that seems like the kind of thing to ask That Guy.
After correcting my pronunciation (seriously, douche... I'm drunk and pronounced the 'W' like an American... it's the 4th of July, let it go) he said something in passing that intrigued me: that the all-but-impossible-to-obtain Westvleteren 12 is identical to the commercially-available non-Trappist St. Bernardus 12 (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/259/1708).
Turns out this is not quite 100% true, but it's in the ballpark.
But I'll let the internet tell the rest...
http://52brews.com/blog/st-bernardus-abt-12.html
Quote[In] 1946 the monks at [Westvleteren] decided to devote less time to brewing, producing a small amount a beer at their abbey (close to Watou) and contracting Saint Bernardus to [brew] the Saint Sixtus line of "Trappist" under contract from 1946 until 1992...
After Westvleteren ended the deal, Saint Bernardus continued with its own brands, extending the range and boosting production to 10,000 hectoliters (8,500 barrels) a year.
Today it brews beers with no monastic influence...but still uses recipes the brewery claims haven't changed since 1946. Because the head brewer from Westvleteren helped set up the Saint Bernardus brewery, it seems likely he brought along the original Westvleteren yeast with the recipes. We can only guess how Saint Bernardus yeast today might have changed in sixty years. We know, of course, that Westevleteren now uses yeast acquired fresh from Westmalle each time the monks brew.
http://www.classiccitybrew.com/west.html
QuoteIn the 1940's the abbey gave permission for its monastic name to be used by a small brewery nearby. The beers from this secular brewery were known simply as St. Sixtus and the brewery itself as St. Bernardus. In recent years this agreement has ended, but the St. Bernardus brewery is still cranking out beers that are similar to those of Westvleteren, but not nearly identical. The St. Sixtus abbey and St. Bernardus brewery use different strains of yeast, and as a result their beers have differing flavor profiles.
http://www.hamburgercalculus.com/blog/?p=322
QuoteThe representative from the brewery (not the brewer, unfortunately) cleared up a few things about St. Bernardus' history. It was started in 1946 by a cheesemaker who was working with the St. Sixtus monks to commercialize their beer. At that point, the monk brewmasters shared their recipes and help develop the manufacturing of beer at this site. The monastery and St. Bernardus brewery are about 20km away from each other, so their water supplies are slightly different. So, even in 1946 with the same starting recipes, there were still very subtle differences based on the water supply.
So: historically linked and very similar, but not quite identical.
But also: more readily available, more affordable, and apparently pretty good by its own merits.

I do find it suspicious that those snobs just happen to rank one of the hardest to obtain beers in the world number 1 overall.
That's like Jon ranking a limited edition Japanese import 7-inch picture disc of a dub remix of a live recording of Captain Beefheart's first performance as the greatest record ever.

This thread is perilously close to being moved to the dead pool.
Anyone ever had a Westvleteren 12?
I haven't.
So, on the 4th of July, I found myself in a conversation with some beer douche at a party I was at. (Incidentally, we'd started talking after trying some fruity barrel-aged eurobeer someone else had brought and I was remarking on how cider-y it tasted. He assured me that it was just beer and that the cider flavor was thanks to the aging. Regardless, it was fruity and IAN would probably love it.)
Gathering that he was the kind of douche to trade beers online and drink them only in beer-douche-approved glassware, I asked him about Westvleteren. Because that seems like the kind of thing to ask That Guy.
After correcting my pronunciation (seriously, douche... I'm drunk and pronounced the 'W' like an American... it's the 4th of July, let it go) he said something in passing that intrigued me: that the all-but-impossible-to-obtain Westvleteren 12 is identical to the commercially-available non-Trappist St. Bernardus 12 (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/259/1708).
Turns out this is not quite 100% true, but it's in the ballpark.
But I'll let the internet tell the rest...
http://52brews.com/blog/st-bernardus-abt-12.html
Quote[In] 1946 the monks at [Westvleteren] decided to devote less time to brewing, producing a small amount a beer at their abbey (close to Watou) and contracting Saint Bernardus to [brew] the Saint Sixtus line of "Trappist" under contract from 1946 until 1992...
After Westvleteren ended the deal, Saint Bernardus continued with its own brands, extending the range and boosting production to 10,000 hectoliters (8,500 barrels) a year.
Today it brews beers with no monastic influence...but still uses recipes the brewery claims haven't changed since 1946. Because the head brewer from Westvleteren helped set up the Saint Bernardus brewery, it seems likely he brought along the original Westvleteren yeast with the recipes. We can only guess how Saint Bernardus yeast today might have changed in sixty years. We know, of course, that Westevleteren now uses yeast acquired fresh from Westmalle each time the monks brew.
http://www.classiccitybrew.com/west.html
QuoteIn the 1940's the abbey gave permission for its monastic name to be used by a small brewery nearby. The beers from this secular brewery were known simply as St. Sixtus and the brewery itself as St. Bernardus. In recent years this agreement has ended, but the St. Bernardus brewery is still cranking out beers that are similar to those of Westvleteren, but not nearly identical. The St. Sixtus abbey and St. Bernardus brewery use different strains of yeast, and as a result their beers have differing flavor profiles.
http://www.hamburgercalculus.com/blog/?p=322
QuoteThe representative from the brewery (not the brewer, unfortunately) cleared up a few things about St. Bernardus' history. It was started in 1946 by a cheesemaker who was working with the St. Sixtus monks to commercialize their beer. At that point, the monk brewmasters shared their recipes and help develop the manufacturing of beer at this site. The monastery and St. Bernardus brewery are about 20km away from each other, so their water supplies are slightly different. So, even in 1946 with the same starting recipes, there were still very subtle differences based on the water supply.
So: historically linked and very similar, but not quite identical.
But also: more readily available, more affordable, and apparently pretty good by its own merits.
But it's not the #1 ranked beer in the entire world. (http://beeradvocate.com/top_beers)
I do find it suspicious that those snobs just happen to rank one of the hardest to obtain beers in the world number 1 overall.
That's like Jon ranking a limited edition Japanese import 7-inch picture disc of a dub remix of a live recording of Captain Beefheart's first performance as the greatest record ever.
[snorts]I used to think that [adjusts hipster glasses] until I discovered a rare acetate of Roky Erickson performing acoustic demos for a failed collaboration with Helios Creed.

I've actually seen some meta-talk about this, essentially admitting that many of them will rank harder to find beers higher.
I think I mentioned this in the SBox, but I started a very long-term, not very serious quest to try the top 100 American beers on that site. To put in perspective, I have a really, really good beer store by me and they have 6 of them in stock.

They used to have it on tap at Silver Cloud - easily one of my favorite bars in Bucktown - and then one day this summer I went in and asked for it. They said they got rid of it and told me I was the only one that liked it. Goddamn you to hell, Bucktown.

Bell's is a really solid brewery - I'm a big fan of the Two Hearted and the Kalamazoo Stout is a good find too.
Haven't had Hopslam b/c I can't get it here, but would love to give it a whirl.

I'm pretty sure I had it at Sheffield's, but only had it after Mrs. Butthead ordered one. So that probably doesn't help the argument for drinking fruity beers.

In Germany, it isn't uncommon to put cola in a dunkelweiss.. I tried it, it was alright. Wasn't as good as the dunkelweiss by itself,
which was outstanding.
Dogfish Head makes a berlinerweiss called Festina Peche. It's made with peaches. It's tart as hell and I quite like it.
See? And he doesn't care who knows it.
The Festina Peche is actually pretty good.
They used to have it on tap at Silver Cloud - easily one of my favorite bars in Bucktown - and then one day this summer I went in and asked for it. They said they got rid of it and told me I was the only one that liked it. Goddamn you to hell, Bucktown.
I'm pretty sure I had it at Sheffield's, but only had it after Mrs. Butthead ordered one. So that probably doesn't help the argument for drinking fruity beers.
Sheffield's on Mississipppi St. in Merrilbart? Next to the Arby's? Yilch.

Hey Slak, at the Whole Foods here in North Scottsdale, you can get 4-packs of Festina Peche, right next to the 6-packs of DFH's Aprihop.
You fucking homo.

Get the 60 or 90 minute IPA. But don't get them if you don't like IPAs. Respond and I will alter my suggestion accordingly.

I think 90 is way better than 60, personally.
Also, if you want something totally different, go for the R'aison D'etra.
Though you might hate it.
The Indian Brown Ale is pretty good too....though I think the 90 Minute is definitely far superior.

QuoteThe empty urethra is horizontal in cross-section but the meatus is a vertical slit, hence the spiral stream of urine.
http://books.google.com/books?id=gZEEAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA1052&lpg=PA1052
QuoteAs already mentioned, the collapsed urethra is represented by a fissure. This in the glans penis is vertical in direction. A short horizontal branch is superadded at the upper end of the fossa navicularis, giving the fissure the aspect of an inverted T. Above this point the horizontal limb progressively elongates, while the vertical limb shortens until the former alone is left, and the rest of the spongy urethra is represented by a transverse fissure. In the membranous segment the fissure is usually stellate, while in the prostatic region the presence of the colliculus gives it the U-like form already described. This progressive change of shape involves a kind of rifling of the tube, and probably accounts for the spiral form of the normal stream of urine.

I'm not sure how much talking about beer will change that. But, okay...
Half Acre (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/18006): I've had the Daisy Cutter and the Half Acre Lager. Would recommend both, except the latter is apparently retired.
Metropolitan (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/19127): I've sampled the Dynamo Copper Lager and thought it sucked, but I might have been wrong.
Finally... http://beermapping.com/maps/citymaps.php?m=chicago

Jesus fucking Christ. I wake up to find a meatus in the beer thread?
Half Acre makes a beer that tastes like grass. Had it last night. Weird, yet oddly refreshing. It comes in a silver can. I don't know what it is. He also had a jug of another kind of Half Acre beer that I also enjoyed, more than the first. It was kind of red in color. Tasted good.
That's all I have. Maybe I'll start sampling some of these fancy beers.
This beer thread has inspired me to go to Friar Tuck's tonight to pick up something exotic.
PS - Just went through my last Piraat. I recommend that.
I guess I shouldn't say I hate IPAs. I just haven't tried one I like yet. The something something IPA from Dogfish Head will be my first choice next time I'm in a bar that sells it.

I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread, but I had a Rogue Dead Guy Ale last Wednesday and it was pretty damn tasty.
Has what been mentioned? That you had a Dead Guy last Wednesday? Probably not, unless you posted about it sometime in the last 6 days.
Rogue Dead Guy Ale is really good.
It is in fact.
Rogue Chocolate Stout is pretty awesome too, but it's a 1-and-done type beer - so chocolately and yummy.
Don't you want beer-flavored beer, you beer snob?
"Chocolately[sic] and yummy" sounds pretty queer to me.

Inorite. I always thought I wasn't a fan of ales, and not that I really am going to act like I know what makes an ale an ale. I must have had a beer a while back that was labeled an ale and tasted like a foot, thus me equating ale with suck. Mine eyes are open.

I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread, but I had a Rogue Dead Guy Ale last Wednesday and it was pretty damn tasty.
Has what been mentioned? That you had a Dead Guy last Wednesday? Probably not, unless you posted about it sometime in the last 6 days.
Rogue Dead Guy Ale is really good.
It is in fact.
Rogue Chocolate Stout is pretty awesome too, but it's a 1-and-done type beer - so chocolately and yummy.
Don't you want beer-flavored beer, you beer snob?
Chocolate is awesome and masculine, unlike fruity IANweizens.
You could get an Aprihop and bang a Kit-Kat into that bastard.
Aprihop is not a manly Stout.
Why not just throw coffee, a hershey bar, and some Stoli Vanil in a blender, you womany lady?
Actually, that sounds pretty good. I'm gonna make one this weekend. And I'm gonna call it The Bort.
It does actually sound good. Damn it.
It sounds like a poor man's White Russian.
Now *that* sounds good right now.
Damn, now I really want a caucasian.
Mission accomplished at lunch today.

"Cleanup in the beer aisle."
Saw a new beer out of the corner of my eye at the local beer-o-rama last night and since I had to WEEBSFIRST it, figured I'd pass along that Sierra Nevada is introducing an Autumn Brown Ale for 2010 called Tumbler.
I only had one, so don't want to rush to judgment, but found it pretty unremarkable.
I imagine it's going to be very readily available everywhere soon, but I don't think (at first sip) that it stacks up well to a lot of other SN products.
The packaging is pretty cool though.

I didn't try it.
I left work a little early intentionally so I could bring home different beer to diffuse the Apridebacle.
However, with 4 cold ones in the fridge, I assure you that I will end up trying it in the next few days and will provide a full report.

It looks like the color of the dump one is sure to take the morning after a night of drinking these.
Yes, brown is usually the color of poo.
Sometimes there's yellow in there, too.
Or red?
Mine's actually been pretty green of late, but I've been destroying broccoli, asparagus and green beans mad style.
My butt pumps red poo like a dog in heat. Love the avatar.
Nothing makes me happier than turning a PenFoe thread about beer into a thread about poo. God bless America indeed.
OK...not nothing.

Dorgfish Head 90 minute IPA.
That's about how much time it took me to plow through your 4-pack while obliterating a half slab of baby back ribs. Why not 6? I mean seriously. It wasn't that fucking brilliant that I can't have 2 more. It was nice yes. But shit. Do I really need to open the pizzoint of Maredsous? On a ... what day is this?
Yum.

DFH Chicory Stout tonight - what a wonderful beer, though not that fitting for 110 degrees, which is probably why it's a winter seasonal that's been on the shelf for 8 months.
Still, glorious.
Glad you enjoyed the 90 minute, though I can imagine how one would feel after downing 4 of them at 9% ABV.

I've a feeling that I've mentioned this somewhere before but to say that Spaten is the poor relation of Munich beers would be a huge understatement. I know plenty of Muencheners who would rather drink almost anything else, up to and including drain cleaner, or even Foster's.
It's becoming increasingly clear that BH and I are at opposite ends of the taste in beer scale. I like, you know...

Slap some sideburns and nerd glasses on there, and you'd have a fair approximation of my Friday. That shit is dope.
Hofbrau Dunkel, anybody? I thought it was good. I also had some Japanese brews on Saturday night. I had the Hitachino Nest Sweet Stout and Weizen. Both were very good.

I can officially confirm that Aprihop is not good beer.
It doesn't taste much like apricots at all, and it takes a few sips to really appreciate the not-goodness of it.
Just a nice IPA ruined with a strange sweetness at the end.

Is this the new beer thread or is this where we make fun of those with terrible taste in beer?
I just picked up a Hop Stoopid and a Wico Tango Foxtrot. Really looking forward to both.
Also, Sofie is tasty - I hear it's going to be on tap at Goose on Clybourn.
What did you think of the Hop Stoopid?
(yes, I'm asking you to remember a beer post from 3 months ago)
Had my first this weekend and really liked it.
A lot.

Strange. I just picked up a 22oz of Hop Stoopid for $3.65. I'm two sips in and I think it's a bargain at $3.65. However, Double IPAs are short order mouthrapists, so once I've consumed all 22oz, that bargain status may be subject to change. As of now, fuck me, PenFoe's right.

That's $1 cheaper than I got it, which is awesome, since I'm roughly 1000 miles closer to the brewery than you.
Even with the high hops, I found it much more palate pleasing than say...Ruination DIPA, which fully supports your mouthraping stance (which is exactly what
they want, but not what I prefer).

I don't know that one, Slak - but the truth is that you can walk into pretty much any curry house in the UK and have a better than even chance of getting a fantastic meal. If you're in Birmingham or Manchester, you'll struggle to find a bad one.

You can't beat a nice plate of food.
I had some authentic Indian food for the first time about a year ago in San Antonio of all places. I've been to San Antonio all but that one time, but I was told that the restaurant was legit. I have to say that Indian food is pretty damn good. I liked the naan, but I'm a bread fiend.

Samosas, saag paneer, chicken tikka, tikka masala, vindaloos are all great.. my favorite is murgh makhani, chicken in a tomato butter sauce..
all outstanding. Fork is still wrong.

Couple of really good places to eat Indian food there... Can't recall the name, but there was one that specialized in Southern Indian cooking. The masala dosa in this place was off the charts. I was dating a girl there at the time whose family was from Kerala... Mom was a badass cook and made some of the best plates I have ever had, Dad liked to drink Pinch or "The Dimple" scotch. Those were good times.
Stupid whore ruined everything.
PS: I like beer.

That's $1 cheaper than I got it, which is awesome, since I'm roughly 1000 miles closer to the brewery than you.
Which, in your view, means the beer tastes better.
Considering that the beer is made there, yes, it would be better if you could get it fresher and sooner, particularly something like a DIPA.
Chicago is closer to India than Scottsdale is.
Our IPAs are more authentic and taste better.
You buy beer made in India?
There's nothing wrong with Indian beer. Kingfisher and Cobra both go down a storm with a curry.
so eat shite food and any beer tastes good. Got it.
Are you serial? You're such a fucking yokel. One of these days I'll take you for a curry in the UK and watch as you eat both it, and your words.
Man, I worked in downtown Manhattan. everything down there was either Kababs or curry. I've had plenty of "Taste of Tandoor/Bengal/wherever" (pick the place with the most taxis parked outside)...
But did you have the Crab Juice?

Berlin? And Munich doesn't make it? Those fucking Prussians wouldn't know a decent beer if you smacked them round the head with it. What an enormous, steaming pile of shit.
However, road trip to Amsterdam is to be encouraged. Just let me know when you're coming.
By the way, it's a good job South Africans can make wine.

I had cans of PBR last night. Glorious.
They're not half bad if you pour them in a glass. But you probably like the taste of aluminum or don't care.
Hipster cheap beer finally made it around crab's condo?
I don't read this thread much, but I was glancing through it and came across this assertion that PBR is hipster beer. Now, I don't care what the hipsters think they've appropriated or laid claim to, PBR will never be theirs. Let me tell you about a man named LG Morris. If you're wondering what the L and G stand for, well, you're wasting your time because LG's name was simply the letters L and G. He was my grandpa's brother and they were Kentuckyfolk and they don't cotton to your ideas about what is or isn't a proper name. They also had a Floyd Jr. despite the presence of no other Floyds in the family and three or four James in non-sequential order. Anyway, LG was a Korean War veteran. He'd tell you this with pride, and then follow up by describing in detail every "Gook" he could remember killing. If he was feelin' real perky that day, he'd show you the bayonet he used to gut one. LG also had a straight line scar down the middle of his forehead that he got one day while chasing his brother around the yard with a hatchet. He ran into the clothesline and the hatchet snapped right back at him and the flat end broke open his forehead and left a nice mark till his dying day. He had tattoos of nekkid women so graphic that an East German dominatrix would run in horror. He once shot my Grandpa in the ass with buckshot because he thought it'd be funny. He once spent an entire evening stuffing his other brother's shotgun shells full of chicken feathers and then laughed his ass off when he fired it and it looked like he'd killed an entire flock of birds. One day he invited my Grandpa over to work on his car in the garage while it was raining and said that it only leaked "a little." When he came back later that day to find my absolutely drenched Grandpa he laughed and said that it leaked "a little over there, and a little over there, and a little over there...." In many ways he was the ultimate dick, and yet he was beloved by all.
My point here, is that LG was a batshit crazy redneck and he drank PBR in quantities vast enough to kill an elephant so big that PT Barnum would shit his pants at the very sight of it. No girl-jean wearing hipster will
ever have a rightful claim to that beverage.

Thank God for this. I'm never losing sight of this entry for as long as I live. In fact, the next time I'm with my family and they begin to Glen Beck Palin Jeff Gordon Sandberg me into a coma, I'm going to read this and laugh because... Well, fuck, I need a good laugh sometimes.

I had cans of PBR last night. Glorious.
They're not half bad if you pour them in a glass. But you probably like the taste of aluminum or don't care.
Hipster cheap beer finally made it around crab's condo?
I don't read this thread much, but I was glancing through it and came across this assertion that PBR is hipster beer. Now, I don't care what the hipsters think they've appropriated or laid claim to, PBR will never be theirs. Let me tell you about a man named LG Morris. If you're wondering what the L and G stand for, well, you're wasting your time because LG's name was simply the letters L and G. He was my grandpa's brother and they were Kentuckyfolk and they don't cotton to your ideas about what is or isn't a proper name. They also had a Floyd Jr. despite the presence of no other Floyds in the family and three or four James in non-sequential order. Anyway, LG was a Korean War veteran. He'd tell you this with pride, and then follow up by describing in detail every "Gook" he could remember killing. If he was feelin' real perky that day, he'd show you the bayonet he used to gut one. LG also had a straight line scar down the middle of his forehead that he got one day while chasing his brother around the yard with a hatchet. He ran into the clothesline and the hatchet snapped right back at him and the flat end broke open his forehead and left a nice mark till his dying day. He had tattoos of nekkid women so graphic that an East German dominatrix would run in horror. He once shot my Grandpa in the ass with buckshot because he thought it'd be funny. He once spent an entire evening stuffing his other brother's shotgun shells full of chicken feathers and then laughed his ass off when he fired it and it looked like he'd killed an entire flock of birds. One day he invited my Grandpa over to work on his car in the garage while it was raining and said that it only leaked "a little." When he came back later that day to find my absolutely drenched Grandpa he laughed and said that it leaked "a little over there, and a little over there, and a little over there...." In many ways he was the ultimate dick, and yet he was beloved by all.
My point here, is that LG was a batshit crazy redneck and he drank PBR in quantities vast enough to kill an elephant so big that PT Barnum would shit his pants at the very sight of it. No girl-jean wearing hipster will ever have a rightful claim to that beverage.
Sounds like him and crabs have a lot in common.
If anybody ever tries to sell you a dark ale "with overtones of licorice" - oh, say "Badger Poacher's Choice" (http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/beers/badgerales/poacherschoice.asp) for instance, don't drink it. It's fucking disgusting. Tastes like licorice.

Not yet, it's not available in AZ, but next time I head to the Bay Area to visit the mom-in-law it's the first thing I'm going to do when I get off the plane.

Your list seems more official than mine. I'll go with it. I'm wrong (although Spaten is still a great beer in my opinion).

I had my first Hobgoblin on draft at a local tavern last night. Fucking tremendous dark English ale. I won't describe the taste because I was already drunk and just know that I loved what was happening in my mouth at the time.

To be fair to BH, pretty much any Münchener Helles is better than more or less any other lager beer that you can come up with, so Spaten is by no means a bad beer - it's just that Müncheners have so many other really *great* beers to choose from that almost nobody drinks it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Franziskaner Weizen at all - it's excellent... but it does give you the two-bob-bits if you drink enough of it. My poor, tortured ricker endured the morning after one too many nights on the dunkelweiss when I first arrived in München, and I've been wary of it ever since.

I could have sworn that I'd mentioned Hobgoblin somewhere in here before, but a search turns up nothing, so perhaps I didn't. It's really, really fucking good, though - one of my absolute favourites.

Not sure if any Big Sky beers are available in your areas, but they've just issued a limited release of their Heavy Horse Scotch Ale. (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/751/61771)
They're a solid (not spectacular) brewery, but this is an interesting addition as there aren't a ton of good American-made Scotch Ales on the market.

I've had it twice. It was on tap at a bar which I cannot remember. Possibly because I was hammered on Franziskaner.
I'm now on the wagon for the next seven weeks, so I'd appreciate it if you boys would refrain from talking about booze during that time.

So fruit type beers = suck
In Germany, it isn't uncommon to put cola in a dunkelweiss.. I tried it, it was alright. Wasn't as good as the dunkelweiss by itself,
which was outstanding.
Dogfish Head makes a berlinerweiss called Festina Peche. It's made with peaches. It's tart as hell and I quite like it.
See? And he doesn't care who knows it.
The Festina Peche is actually pretty good.
They used to have it on tap at Silver Cloud - easily one of my favorite bars in Bucktown - and then one day this summer I went in and asked for it. They said they got rid of it and told me I was the only one that liked it. Goddamn you to hell, Bucktown.
I'm pretty sure I had it at Sheffield's, but only had it after Mrs. Butthead ordered one. So that probably doesn't help the argument for drinking fruity beers.
Hey Slak, at the Whole Foods here in North Scottsdale, you can get 4-packs of Festina Peche, right next to the 6-packs of DFH's Aprihop.
You fucking homo.
What's wrong with Aprihop? It's pretty good, too. I lick Dogfish Head's ass though. Anything they put out, I'll try.
So I imagine you're on pins and needles waiting for the fall release of Punkin Ale?
I mean...really.
So yeah...that Punkin Ale is terrible.
Drain pour terrible, which is something I never do.
The fact that I don't really like pumpkin may have played a part in that.
But the Burton Baton (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10099/18862)? Fantastic.

You should see if you can still get your hands on the Wild Goose "Hempen Ale." I'm made a bit queasy just remembering it.
Speaking of pints, friend from Ireland sent me the following article (http://www.galwaynews.ie/15149-search-ends-missing-person). How many pints must one have to get hit by a car and not know it? Thank God he could find the bar after.
I had the Burton Baton a few weeks ago, and at the risk of agreeing with PenFoe, holy shit is it the nectar of the gods.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_Black_Lager
QuoteThe purpose of the new product is to open up new streams of revenue. It is aimed at young male drinkers who prefer chilled, bottled lagers to pints of beer and is being sold in 330-millilitre bottles for six to nine months in Northern Ireland, as a test market for Europe, and in Malaysia to see whether there are opportunities for the product elsewhere. In Malaysia the beer will be known as Guinness Premium Beer. It will be offered at a comparable price to other premium lagers. The move follows previous attempts by Diageo to boost sales by introducing variations of Ireland's famous Guinness stout. In 2005 the company sold Brew 39 in bars in Dublin and before that it introduced Guinness XXX Extra Strong, Guinness Gold. If the beer performs during its trial, it will be introduced to other markets in Ireland, Europe and the U.S.

It is a 4.5 percent strength brew and gets its black colour from the roasted barley added into it.

Guinness launches New Foreign Extra Stout in the U.S. (http://beernews.org/2010/09/guinness-foreign-extra-stout-arrives-in-the-u-s/)
Quote
the fullest in flavor of the GUINNESS brand variants. Deep brown in appearance, GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout is carbonated unlike the nitrogenated GUINNESS Draught with which most Americans are familiar. The specialty beer is 7.5% ABV and possesses strong, roasted aromas followed by a unique bittersweet taste that beer aficionados can enjoy responsibly.
GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout is brewed at a higher hop rate than GUINNESS Draught and its fullness of flavor and character have remained unchanged. Known for its unique taste, GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout has an initial effervescent impact leading to a dry finish and a full bodied palate of roast character. It is produced using four basic ingredients: grain, water, hops and yeast. Yeast from each brew is transferred on to the next, so the original yeast's descendants are still in the GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout we drink today.

Not sure if anyone has had this overseas (Tonk?) or if it's any good, but per the link above, the Brand Director for Guinness is named Pat Hughes, so there's that.

No idea, I've never had it.
Be curious to know.
I've never been much for the Guinness that we can get in the states, but I'd definitely like to try this....in 8 months.
I get nostalgic over the non-descript beers of my non-descript youth: Falstaff, Burgermeister, Lucky Lager, Olympia and Country Club Malt. (My teen years were spent in California.) I couldn't detect an iota of difference in taste among them. For that matter, the beer that came in the yellow can called "Beer", tasted as good or bad as any of those mentioned. Like most teen-aged college students, when I drank beer it was to get a buzz on, not because I liked the taste. Today my beer of choice is Abita, which I drink because I like the taste, and I stop long before I get a buzz on.

The beer was usually in clear bottles, (not necessarily brown glass), and we needed an opener ("church key"). Then came steel cans with pull tabs that separated from the can when you pulled on them. Our "feats of strength" consisted of crushing a steel can with one hand. We also wore onions on our belts.

I was drinking "Brigand" on Wednesday night, not that I remember much about it. I first had it in Amsterdam, but one of my usual haunts has started stocking it too, now, which is nice. It's a Belgian blond, comes in around 9% ABV and is very, very good for these long winter nights. It'll warm the cockles of your heart, so it will.
It's made by Van Honsebrouck, the same brewery that makes Kasteel, and although their website is too fucking fiddly for me to find a link to the beer itself, it looks like this :
(http://www.belgianfamilybrewers.be/pics/brigand.jpg)
They also do an IPA (at around 6.5% ABV) which is fucking excellent, too - indeed, it might even be better than the blond. Unfortunately, they weren't serving that.
By the way, I can't remember if I've mentioned it before, but this is the go-to beer for me and pretty much every (other) Belgian I know :

I think quoting yourself not once, but *twice* in the space of twenty seconds deserves some sort of Desippy. Possibly for solipsism?

I'm going to ignore your outlandish claims for a moment to say that thirty or even twenty years ago, people in the rest of the World were probably right about American beer. The problem is that, because so little American beer is exported, everybody thinks it's still that bad, which simply isn't the case any more. You can look forward to the US topping that survey for many, many years to come, though, because people in the other 98 countries surveyed simply aren't going to know any different.
So, in summary, the whole things is utterly, utterly worthless.

Cheeky bastard. Spend a while in Germany and tell me that the States still produces a greater variety of fantastic beers than anywhere else in the World. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you wouldn't know any better than I do.

I'm saying it's a combo of quality and quantity, not just quality. I'm sure Germany has many fantastic beers. That's completely ignoring the fact that each beer drinker has a specific palate and may enjoy completely different beers from the next. Say I love beer but hate all varieties of Weiss beer? Moving on from there, the United States is a much larger country in population than Germany. Also, it's not that off base to assume that the US is more diverse than Germany and has a wider variety of quality beers to choose from. I feel pretty secure in this argument.
If you took an open-minded German beer lover on an extensive US brewery tour I think they'd be blown away.
Americans have mastered the concept of refrigerating beer.
WIN.

Yeah, that was even more annoying than the usual HuffPo fare. Also, I am fucking sick of the rest of the world assuming American beer is all Bud Light, Busch, and Coors. Pretty sure Dogfish Head could level 99% of the world's breweries in a blind taste test.
Them or countless other breweries. If you're talking a combination of quality combined with quantity I don't think America can be beaten.
Oof.
Sorry, I forgot you were here for, what, three days once.
Cheeky bastard. Spend a while in Germany and tell me that the States still produces a greater variety of fantastic beers than anywhere else in the World. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you wouldn't know any better than I do.
I'm saying it's a combo of quality and quantity, not just quality. I'm sure Germany has many fantastic beers. That's completely ignoring the fact that each beer drinker has a specific palate and may enjoy completely different beers from the next. Say I love beer but hate all varieties of Weiss beer? Moving on from there, the United States is a much larger country in population than Germany. Also, it's not that off base to assume that the US is more diverse than Germany and has a wider variety of quality beers to choose from. I feel pretty secure in this argument.
If you took an open-minded German beer lover on an extensive US brewery tour I think they'd be blown away.
The U.S. undoubtedly has hundreds of great beers. Still, the vast majority of beer sold here is the mass-produced crap. It's possible that the U.S. has more good beers than any other country, but it also likely consumes more shitty beer than than anywhere else.

In some ways, I think you're probably right. I presume that all the German, Austro-Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Dutch-Belgian, Irish, British, Hispanic and Scandic influences in the States will have created a variety of beers that is second to none. On the other hand, brewers in Europe have been at it for the best part of a thousand years. In Germany, additionally, they have the "Reinheitsgebot", which has written into law that only the very simplest and purest ingredients may be used for anything that you want to call "Bier". Also, although they're not brewing much IPA or Porter in Germany, more or less every town has its own brewery, brewing several (sometimes seasonal) varieties of beer that are quite different from the beer that the brewery in the next town is brewing.
Indeed, just looked it up, and the US has around 1400 breweries, to Germany's 1300. I don't think the difference is a big as you think it is, Slak.

QuoteWe pair five cuts of bacon with five beers to give you the ultimate beer and bacon experience. The beers change seasonally, so even if you've already enjoyed a Paddy's beer and bacon tasting, check back again for all new pairings.
Just went here for a really late lunch/early dinner.
Go here. Didn't do the tasting menu, but the food was awesome. There's cheese sauce for their fries that is outstanding. I had a bacon explosion sandwich (on the online menu, they call it a bacon bomb). If you don't like meat, this will make you change your mind.
Oh yeah, we also got the deep fried bacon, too.
Just really good food.

Quote(Crain's) — Months after restocking alcohol on its shelves following a 15-year dry spell, Walgreen Co. is offering a private-label beer.
Big Flats 1901 carries a suggested retail price of $2.99 for six cans and $11.49 for a 24-pack, according to Beer Business Daily.
The beer is brewed by Genesee Brewing Co. in Rochester, N.Y., owned by Novato, Calif.-based Winery Exchange, a private-label alcohol company that also distributes to Costco, Trader Joe's and Cost Plus World Market.
Walgreen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

QuoteThe above advertisement appears on the inside front cover of the current issue of Window of the South (南风窗), a respected biweekly business magazine. At first glance it looks like an ad for a wine or a brandy, but closer inspection reveals the actual brand: Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer 1844.
1844 was the year that the Pabst Brewing Company was established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the US, the beer's lack of pretension led to a recent upswing in popularity among hipsters.
With 1844, the brand seems to be targeting a different demographic in the Chinese market.

Belgian beer really is the gift that keeps on giving. I must have tried dozens and dozens of different beers and yet there are hundreds more where those came from. On the subject of which, I tried a couple at the weekend that really grabbed my fancy :
(http://www.crackedkettle.com/store/images/ciney_bruin.jpg) (Ciney Bruin), and
(http://cervezafresca.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pauwel-kwak.jpg) (Kwak)
... both of which are just how I like them - dark, sweet, tangy and slightly boozy (insert Forkjoke here). Recommended.
By the way, "Kwak" is Dutch slang for sperm. Which is nice. What's also nice is that I just found this place (http://www.depaas.nl/assort/index.php), around ten minutes up the road from me. What's that you say? Why, yes - they DO have 173 dfferent beers, ten of which are on tap and change on a monthly basis, now you mention it. Pretty sweet, huh?

By the way, "Kwak" is Dutch slang for sperm. Which is nice. What's also nice is that I just found this place (http://www.depaas.nl/assort/index.php), around ten minutes up the road from me. What's that you say? Why, yes - they DO have 173 dfferent beers, ten of which are on tap and change on a monthly basis, now you mention it. Pretty sweet, huh?
No mention of Pabst Blue Ribbon. What do Dutch hipsters drink?
Heineken, natch.
They must be purged.
Extry! Extry! Readallabahdit! Hipster named Wolter calls for eradication of all Dutch hipsters!
Eh, I haven't been hip in...well...ever.
These thick glasses? Due to me being a nerd.
Only the TRUE hipster denies being a hipster at all.

FUCK YEAH LENT (http://diaryofaparttimemonk.wordpress.com/about/):
QuoteWorking to nourish their bodies through during the lengthy 46-day fast during Lent, the Paulaner monks of Neudeck ob der Au in Munich are credited with developing the doppelbock style of beer. Packed with carbohydrates, calories and vitamins, this unfiltered "liquid bread" sustained the monks from Ash Wednesday to Easter, and over 300 years later, the rich history and quality of this beer is well-known throughout the world.
With this in mind, I am embarking on a project to fast on doppelbock for the same 46-day stretch that the storied German monks once endured—and live to tell the tale. This will be no small undertaking. I will be working with both a doctor and a spiritual advisor as I attempt to tell the story of this facet of the monks' livelihood. Eventually, there will be a book.

I used to live about half a mile from the Paulaner Brewery in Munich. I can't begin to tell you how fucking brilliant it was to have Starkbierfest within walking distance. I miss Munich this time of year - there is a huge fucking party going on as we speak (Faschingsdienstag) and then everybody gets pished for a month or so.
They have a four pack of Unibroue at Trader Joe's right now for something like 7.99 a pack. It's a pretty solid deal for four beers over 8 percent. I think most people have tried their Fin du Monde but I had never had the Trois Pistoles. It was excellent. It's a Belgian strong dark ale and extremely smooth. Highly recommended.

The American Homebrewers Association ranks the top 50 U.S. beers. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/30/best-beers-america_n_887706.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009)
Which is kind of like the homeschool PTA picking the best teachers, but enough about Yeti. (I'll be here all week, folks).
Overall, not a bad list and a lot of the very usual subjects - high hop IPAs and Imperial Stouts.
I think there are some really good choices on this list and some horrible oversights (Sculpin and Yeti, tied at 43 should both be top 10 and 4 Sierra Nevada brews in the top 12 is unforgivable), but basically, if you're looking for a list of good U.S. beers, you could do a lot worse.

I have Bell's "Hell Hath No Fury" Ale (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/20604) in my fridge right now, it's on the upcoming agenda as well.
Great Lakes Christmas beer is outstanding in small doses.

I've never liked a Great Lakes beer.
In non holiday themed beers, I'd recommend Three Floyds' Dreadnaught - it's a fantastic, powerful IPA. One of the best I've had.
Also, I have a bottle of Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout in my cabinet that I'm trying to find the right time to drink. Might be Xmas. Might be in two years. I do not know.

Unfortunately, I can't get Founders out here, but I constantly hear/read great things.
Two other recent beers that I can definitely recommend (both fromy Odell):
Myrcenary (http://=http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/267/66436) - a Double IPA (9.30%)
Mountain Standard (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/267/63543) - A Double Black (Cascadian) IPA (9.5%).
I think the Myrcenary is superior, but that may just be because I prefer the more traditional IPA to the Black.
For more readily available Winter beers, New Belgium's new Snow Day (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/192/74123) is a pretty solid effort too.
Aside from 1554, I think this is their best beer (not counting any of the Lips of Faith or other 22 oz options.)
I think it's much, much better than their old winter offering, 2 Below (which I don't miss at all.)

New app tells you how old your beer is. (http://draftmag.com/beereditor/whats-my-age/)
Just downloaded it ($1.99), so no review yet, but the idea is great - especially for breweries that don't give you a drink-by date.

Now I need one that can accurately tell me how much beer is left in the barrel. I've tried those thermal strips that stick to the side of the barrel, but something more like a meter would be great. Of course, running out always gives the opportunity to try something from a smaller batch.
beermenus.com is a great site but if they would come out with an app that lets the user search from their location by beer that would be perfection.
Say you're on Chicago and Franklin and you're craving a Zombie Dust. Just open up the app, the phone locates you, search for the beer by name and the app loads up any bar within X miles that has the beer.

Apparently, the brewery needs a refurbishment, so they're releasing 93,000 cases of six bottles (plus two glasses) for public sale - around 8,000 of which will find their way to the US, by the way. My local wholesaler has started a list, and I signed up on the first day, so fingers crossed I'll get one. It'll cost me over €30, but save me a round-trip to the French border.

For future reference, I have attached below the München Helles Chart. It is irrefutable :
Augustiner > Ayinger > Andechser > Paulaner > Hofbräu > Everything Else > Spaten.
With qualification:
Quote from: Tonker on September 15, 2010, 12:15:41 PM
To be fair to BH, pretty much any Münchener Helles is better than more or less any other lager beer that you can come up with, so Spaten is by no means a bad beer - it's just that Müncheners have so many other really *great* beers to choose from that almost nobody drinks it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Franziskaner Weizen at all - it's excellent... but it does give you the two-bob-bits if you drink enough of it. My poor, tortured ricker endured the morning after one too many nights on the dunkelweiss when I first arrived in München, and I've been wary of it ever since.

So, actually this is a thing, but I haven't found a really good version of it yet.
BrewCloud has coverage in a lot of the East coast, but sucks for the Midwest and West.
BrewGene has decent coverage, but their beer inventory is pathetic.
Beer Hero apparently does this as well, though I've never used it ($1.99)
Also, The Beer Mapping Project (http://beermapping.com/maps/citymaps.php?m=chicago) doesn't have an app, but they do have a mobile friendly website. It lists every location for beers in the specified city and has all the contact information, but doesn't have their beer selection. So, presumably you could call or just stop in and see.
I'm going to continue my quest for the perfect solution to this dilemma, but let me know if you find anything that works great.
So, presumably you can call each place

Thank you. The Paulaner was great, and I do seem to recall Augustiner at our local shithole beer store.

Has this been mentioned yet? Take my enthusiasm with the usual grain of salt as you would from someone who has not sipped a beer in 16 months.

I need to try this as I've been hearing about it for a while and my brother provided me with the official glassware.

Since I don't know most of the beers on that list, I can only comment on the American beers, and those 4-5 are an...interesting mix.
But, count me in for a week at this place.

Uh, Tonk lives in the Hague not Belgium.
But no I'm going to pick up a bottle of La Chouffe.
Also, they've got a beer on tap at Owen & Engine (which is a great foodery) by Three Floyd's called Cimmerian Sabretooth Berzerker. I must have this.
In all seriousness, I'm a little disappointed that this Den Haag-Chicago exchange programme is so one-sided. Anybody (even Yetti) that wants to come to the Netherlands is very welcome. I'll show you some proper fucking history, and, of course, a metric shed load of beer.

As you may know, distances over here aren't quite the same as they are over there, so Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Düsseldorf and Cologne are all within a few hours. Even the London airports are fine - you can just jump on a Eurostar train and be in Brussels within three hours and Amsterdam within five. Hell, even Frankfurt or Hamburg are only four hours by train.

I'll most likely be in London at the end of June. I may just have to hop over to Brussels for a bit. Everything is so close over there, I can probably just walk or ride Huey's bike, right?
It'd admittedly be a little weird to meet a Desipiot from the Netherlands before I met any of the Chicago-based ones.

I should point out that I'm in Den Haag, not Brussels, old chum. I have no idea why I mentioned how long it takes to get from London to Brussels, because it's completely irrelevant. If you're up for visiting Amsterdam (which, unlike Brussels, isn't a complete shithole), though, then I'll see you there.

Which is nice.
Just got confirmation: six bottles of Westvleteren XII are mine, bitches. All I have to do is make sure I remember to go and pick them up by Saturday.

Chicago beer lovers have a new reason to raise a glass. Lagunitas Brewing Company is opening a full-scale brewery in Chicago. BeerPulse.com reports that the Lagunitas owner Tony Magee made the announcement on Twitter.
The brewery will be located on the 2600 block of W. 15th Street, the former Ryerson steel plant location where Cinescape Studios is also located.
By the cinema cineplex, by the Singer sewing company?
We get it, you're you.

The day will never come when Wisconsin shandy deserves a higher price than proper apricot beer.
In other notes, Pyramid has dumped the mountain-bike-themed branding from their apricot ale, and Shiner bock is nothing whatever to write home about. Has anyone tried their "Ruby Redbird," or should I just walk away with the knowledge that it's all from fucking Texas?
Chicago Craft Beer Week is 5/17 (today) through 5/23.

Festina Peche is back in season. Your average Pen will tell you it's for queers and homos but goddamn. Turns out early in the season the peach flavor really shines through. Later in the brewing cycle it gets a lot more tart, which I also enjoy - but now that I've had basically the first batch I wonder if I'll be a little bit disappointed when it's gone a little tart.
It's a Dogfish Head beer. Get some.

Mmm-mm. Barnyard funk. That's what I am looking for in a beer.
"On-tap at Rattle 'n Hum, New York, NY
A: The beer is clear but very dark red in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin off white head.
S: There are light aromas of barnyard funk in the nose.
T: The taste has a bit of funk but this isn't very strong and also has some flavors of lactic acid along with some hints of sweetness. There is a little sourness towards the finish.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a light to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This has to be one of the easiest beers in the style and would make for a good entry-level beer into geuzes.
Serving type: on-tap

This thread is perilously close to being moved to the dead pool.
Anyone ever had a Westvleteren 12?
I haven't.
So, on the 4th of July, I found myself in a conversation with some beer douche at a party I was at. (Incidentally, we'd started talking after trying some fruity barrel-aged eurobeer someone else had brought and I was remarking on how cider-y it tasted. He assured me that it was just beer and that the cider flavor was thanks to the aging. Regardless, it was fruity and IAN would probably love it.)
Gathering that he was the kind of douche to trade beers online and drink them only in beer-douche-approved glassware, I asked him about Westvleteren. Because that seems like the kind of thing to ask That Guy.
After correcting my pronunciation (seriously, douche... I'm drunk and pronounced the 'W' like an American... it's the 4th of July, let it go) he said something in passing that intrigued me: that the all-but-impossible-to-obtain Westvleteren 12 is identical to the commercially-available non-Trappist St. Bernardus 12 (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/259/1708).
Turns out this is not quite 100% true, but it's in the ballpark.
But I'll let the internet tell the rest...

Quote[In] 1946 the monks at [Westvleteren] decided to devote less time to brewing, producing a small amount a beer at their abbey (close to Watou) and contracting Saint Bernardus to [brew] the Saint Sixtus line of "Trappist" under contract from 1946 until 1992...
After Westvleteren ended the deal, Saint Bernardus continued with its own brands, extending the range and boosting production to 10,000 hectoliters (8,500 barrels) a year.
Today it brews beers with no monastic influence...but still uses recipes the brewery claims haven't changed since 1946. Because the head brewer from Westvleteren helped set up the Saint Bernardus brewery, it seems likely he brought along the original Westvleteren yeast with the recipes. We can only guess how Saint Bernardus yeast today might have changed in sixty years. We know, of course, that Westevleteren now uses yeast acquired fresh from Westmalle each time the monks brew.

QuoteIn the 1940's the abbey gave permission for its monastic name to be used by a small brewery nearby. The beers from this secular brewery were known simply as St. Sixtus and the brewery itself as St. Bernardus. In recent years this agreement has ended, but the St. Bernardus brewery is still cranking out beers that are similar to those of Westvleteren, but not nearly identical. The St. Sixtus abbey and St. Bernardus brewery use different strains of yeast, and as a result their beers have differing flavor profiles.

QuoteThe representative from the brewery (not the brewer, unfortunately) cleared up a few things about St. Bernardus' history. It was started in 1946 by a cheesemaker who was working with the St. Sixtus monks to commercialize their beer. At that point, the monk brewmasters shared their recipes and help develop the manufacturing of beer at this site. The monastery and St. Bernardus brewery are about 20km away from each other, so their water supplies are slightly different. So, even in 1946 with the same starting recipes, there were still very subtle differences based on the water supply.
So: historically linked and very similar, but not quite identical.
But also: more readily available, more affordable, and apparently pretty good by its own merits.
The hectoliter is the worst unit ever.

QuoteIf you want to ride President Barack Obama's motorcoach, be advised: it's BYOB.
In perhaps the most startling revelation so far in Obama's three-day bus tour across Iowa, it was revealed this morning that the White House brews its own beer, and that the presidential bus is stocked with bottles of that beer.
The revelation came incidentally, when a man at the Knoxville coffee shop where Obama stopped today somehow got the president onto the subject of beer, and Obama noted that a sample of the White House's home brew was just outside.
...
The beer comes in two varieties, light and dark, Carney said. He has personally sampled the lighter brew, and declared it "refreshing."
"It is superb," he said. "It is quite good."
Does the president himself drink the beer? Indeed he does, Carney said.

QuoteHow long does it take to afford a beer?
ON SEPTEMBER 22nd, the beer started flowing at Oktoberfest in Munich, an annual Bavarian beer festival which confusingly begins at the end of September. Last year, over the course of the 16-day event, visitors glugged 7.5m litres of beer, sold at an average princely price of €9 ($12.50) a litre, which is what a typical large stein holds. Germans love beer and down around 100 litres per person a year. Away from the Oktoberfest beer is readily affordable. Analysts at UBS, a Swiss bank, have calculated that it takes a German earning the national median wage just under seven minutes of work to purchase half a litre of beer at a retail outlet. At the bottom of the pint glass, low wages and high taxes mean that boozers in India must toil for nearly an hour before they have earned enough to quench their thirst.

So, during a recent (okay, 30 seconds ago) perusing of BA, I came across a style of beer, "American Wild Ale" that was totally foreign to me.
Looked at some of the descriptions of the beers, sound very...interesting.
Quote
Sometimes Belgian influenced, American Wild Ales are beers that are introduced to "wild" yeast or bacteria, such as: Brettanomyces (Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, Brettanomyces Lambicus or Brettanomyces Anomolus), Pediococcus or Lactobacillus. This introduction may occur from oak barrels that have been previously inoculated, pitched into the beer, or gained from various "sour mash" techniques. Regardless of which and how, these little creatures often leave a funky calling card that can be quite strange, interesting, pleasing to many, but also often deemed as undesirable by many.
Most of the ones I read talk about various fruits and a lot of mentions of "sour."
Anyone ever have one of these (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/171/?start=0)? Juliet, by Goose Island (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/45368) is on the list, didn't know if anyone had tried that one (or any of the others).
Though sounds like if you do go and try and Juliet, be prepared, because all of the reviewers are talking about the bottles opening with quite a bit of "gushing."

Regardless of which and how, these little creatures often leave a funky calling card that can be quite strange, interesting, pleasing to many, but also often deemed as undesirable by many.
Most of the ones I read talk about various fruits and a lot of mentions of "sour."
Anyone ever have one of these (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/171/?start=0)? Juliet, by Goose Island (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/45368) is on the list, didn't know if anyone had tried that one (or any of the others).
Though sounds like if you do go and try and Juliet, be prepared, because all of the reviewers are talking about the bottles opening with quite a bit of "gushing."
I am having a Grand Rapids brewery's AWA, Escoffier Bretta. Good stuff. And, Pen, since I know you like beeradvocate.com, I am having it at HopCat, which the claimed ranked as the #3 beer bar by beeradvocate
Ironically enough (CT?), Yeti Imperial Stout is fantastic.
Also, for more everyday stouts available in Chicago, in addition to those mentioned: Kalamazoo (Bell's), Obsidian (Deschutes), Sierra Nevada Stout and Bell's Java are all solid.
My wife enjoys Sam Adams Cream Stout quite a bit, which is pretty light. Probably not what you're looking for to fulfill a Stout fix, but you can have 5 of them withit feeling like you ate a tire.
Also, I'm pretty sure I've made that exact same post before.

No to the irony but yes to the stout.
Samuel Adams Holiday Porter. Seriously. It's not the best porter ever. But it's the RIGHT porter.
Green Flash Double Stout. Darker than a black steer's tookus on a moonless prairie night.
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout.
Almost coffee-like. As with I'm sure most stouts, far better served warmer rather than colder. I think I liked it best at nearly room temperature.

Great, I have this in my cabinet at near room temp. A four pack wasn't very expensive and this is the second or third good thing I've heard about it.

Craft beer in Vegas?
I'm not sure he understands the whole idea of "Las Vegas."
But...trying to be helpful - he's probably going to have access to some good West Coast options.
If he the one in Japan? If so, these will all likely be new to him.
Tell him to look for anything from Ballast Point, Odell, Rogue, Deschutes, Oskar Blues and Left Hand.
Those will likely be readily available and all will suffice.
If he's looking for hyper-local, Nevada isn't really well-known for local micro-breweries.
Here's a list of all the brewers in Nevada (http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/list?c_id=US&s_id=NV&brewery=Y) - I can't really speak to any of them, except Gordon Biersch which is very unremarkable.

Thanks for the information. This is the one who lives in Napa. He and his wife visit Las Vegas 2 or 3 times a year, and his hobby is craft beer, so I was surprised by his Facebook post. I guess he is just looking for some inside information.
Gordon Biersch is almost family to us. Dan Gordon is the son of friends with whom we went to college. When Dan graduated Cal he wanted to go to Germany to study to become a brewmeister. However the school required that he serve an apprenticeship. So I asked a Teamster business agent to get him a job at the Anheiser Busch plant in Fairfield Calif. The school accepted 6 months there as an apprenticeship. He went to Germany, got his degree (it is actually a chemistry degree), came back and formed a partnership with a friend named Biersch and the rest is history.

Well, in that case he probably is looking for Nevada-based options, since he clearly knows his craft beer and likely has tried all the West Coast options.
Meaning - you can send him that link, but I can't be of much help otherwise.
Separately, I'll take an order of Gordon Biersch's garlic fries, if you get a chance.

I EARNED this beer, man.
The place I went ended up getting 36 total 6-packs and they were all sold out before the store opened at 8 am.
I don't know if Boulder has more committed beer snobs than Lincoln Park (per capita probably, but doubtful on total) but that's really surprising if it holds true and you can get one that late in the day.

Cutting out the middle man... (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/09/17/223345977/auto-brewery-syndrome-apparently-you-can-make-beer-in-your-gut)
QuoteA 61-year-old man — with a history of home-brewing — stumbled into a Texas emergency room complaining of dizziness. Nurses ran a Breathalyzer test. And sure enough, the man's blood alcohol concentration was a whopping 0.37 percent, or almost five times the legal limit for driving in Texas.
There was just one hitch: The man said that he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol that day.
...
Eventually, McCarthy and Cordell pinpointed the culprit: an overabundance of brewer's yeast in his gut.
That's right, folks. According to Cordell and McCarthy, the man's intestinal tract was acting like his own internal brewery.
The patient had an infection with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (http://www.epa.gov/biotech_rule/pubs/fra/fra002.htm), Cordell says. So when he ate or drank a bunch of starch — a bagel, pasta or even a soda — the yeast fermented the sugars into ethanol, and he would get drunk. Essentially, he was brewing beer in his own gut. Cordell and McCarthy reported (http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=33912) the case of "auto-brewery syndrome" a few months ago in the International Journal of Clinical Medicine.

Last night I finally had Pumking and oh man it really is the king of Pums.
I also had a Bonfyre something or other that tasted like salty ham and wood. It was bad.
On top of that I had a sample of a new Goose Island collaboration which was made with sake and saison and aged in wood barrels. That could be tasty for like one beer but probably no more than that. The sake wasn't pronounced but you got the feeling in the aftertaste. Strange beer.

I did.
Some people around here are really upset by the sale, but I don't see the issue. Boulevard is an outstanding brewery and so is Duvel. If they can give Boulevard a wider distribution, that's great. I don't see much a downside, other than it not being technically KC-owned anymore.
Are you guys interested in this?

There's nothing egregiously wrong with this list, though it's certainly not my order of preference.
To have not one, but TWO different IPAs from Sierra Nevada in the top 10 is really excessive and I could certainly nitpick a ton of this (I think Odell at 21 is better than Union Jack, Two Hearted, Racer 5, Lagunitas and either of the Sierra Nevada offerings; Modus Hoperandi at 39 is far too low; AleSmith should be higher than 15; Heady Topper, which I've never had, is supposedly well deserving of top 5) but in the grand scheme of "Lists that suck" this one is
relatively inoffensive.
One of the bigger things I miss about Arizona (que Tonk, et al) is not having access to Sculpin anymore, which is an absolutely fantastic IPA and deserving of the high spot it's getting.

This thread is certainly where a guy like me envies the rest of you - as the result of my allergies to things fermented I can't drink beer without suffering severe swelling in my sinuses. So the only time I get to enjoy beer is when my wife is out of town, which really is basically making chicken salad out of chicken shit, since I like my wife more than I like beer.
So while this weekend I'm having a La Trappe Tripel or a Samuel Smith's Chocolate Stout, next weekend I'm back to sacrificing one love for another.
So when you gentlemen drink, remember - you're drinking for those of us who can't.
That's it. Carry on.

Holy shit. I had no idea. I drive by this so often and it looks really interesting. Can't wait to check it out.
I can't get their beer menu on their site to pull up.

Been there a few times not too long after it opened, and I don't remember the beer list being that good. It was good, but not "make a list" good. They did have a lot of whiskeys though. And the food was alright.
But that was a long time ago and they have a new chef that's an acquaintance of mine. He's really into beer so maybe the food and beer have improved since he took over.
DPD. It was cool to see the Heorot in Muncie make the list. That's one of a handful of good things about Muncie.
I've never been to any of those places, chiz chiz. As it goes, I'm not short of good beer bars around here but I must admit, I wish I could get hold of more American beer. For beginners, you plucky little Yanks are doing not badly, you know?

We're just happy to have put the "sex in a canoe" joke to rest.
Pex - regularly hear amazing things about Fountainhead's beer selection. Hit it up ASAP. I need to get over there, myself.

Speaking of plucky Yanks... (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/01/10/261398742/american-beer-fans-praise-the-heavens-a-trappist-brewery-in-u-s)
QuoteThe town of Spencer, in central Massachusetts, isn't well known for ... well, anything, really. But it's about to become internationally famous — at least in beer-drinking circles.
Spencer is home to St. Joseph's Abbey, where robed monks are busy brewing the first American Trappist beer. If all goes as planned, Spencer Trappist Ale will be available in Massachusetts retail stores by the middle of next week.
The monastery became one of only 10 official Trappist breweries in the world — and the first one outside Europe — in December.
...
As for their recipe, Rev. Isaac Keeley, the brewery's director, says they wanted to create a new Trappist beer that didn't taste like old Trappist beers. They tried all the classic sweet, high-alcohol styles, but found they liked what was being made just for the monks' personal consumption. What they settled on was a lower-alcohol type called refectory ale.
"The recipe allows monks to drink them on occasion and still go on and do monastic things," Keeley says. "Ours is a golden-hued, full-bodied ale. It has a nice aroma, which kind of whets your appetite."

I am eternally resentful that the Trappist monastery outside Charleston only made fruitcake.

When I was in New Orleans at the Jazz Fest it was in the mid 90's, so I was pleased to find a specialty beer stand that sold Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. When I got back to the Bay Area, my son, who is with the PC police, told me that Leinenkugel is now owned by Coors. However, the can announced in prominent letters that the beer was "union made". By the way, the beer really was nice out in the sun, if you like fruity beer.

I'm a little late to the party. But at least I showed up with a 6 pack.
Shandy still isn't beer.

That's $1 cheaper than I got it, which is awesome, since I'm roughly 1000 miles closer to the brewery than you.
Which, in your view, means the beer tastes better.
Considering that the beer is made there, yes, it would be better if you could get it fresher and sooner, particularly something like a DIPA.
Chicago is closer to India than Scottsdale is.
Our IPAs are more authentic and taste better.
You buy beer made in India?
There's nothing wrong with Indian beer. Kingfisher and Cobra both go down a storm with a curry.
so eat shite food and any beer tastes good. Got it.
Are you serial? You're such a fucking yokel. One of these days I'll take you for a curry in the UK and watch as you eat both it, and your words.
Man, I worked in downtown Manhattan. everything down there was either Kababs or curry. I've had plenty of "Taste of Tandoor/Bengal/wherever" (pick the place with the most taxis parked outside)...Thai curry? Now you're talking.

Went to the Atlas brewery at Lincoln south of Diversey last night. They make their own Radler with a wheat beer thats pretty good, and a Stout thats even better. Food isn't bad either.
Anyone wanna make $50? (http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/evg/4786340132.html)

Need Person to stand in line (Whole Foods Market, 1550 N Kingsbury St,)
compensation: $50 TOTAL for 3 people, for approx 3 hours(may be less time, but I'll still pay the same).
I need 3 people to stand in line at Whole Foods for a beer release that takes place at 5pm this Friday. I have class until 3pm and will head directly there to relieve your duty and pay you for holding my spot. I need you to stand there (can bring a chair and do whatever you want to do), just need to find and stay in line for the bourbon county beer release. If you're interested email me and I'll give you details. Thanks! Wasn't able to get the beer last week, this is my last chance. Need to be there promptly at 1pm, I will be there around 3:30-4pm, at that time you can leave. Total pay for 3 people will be $50. Feel free to email me if it's only yourself or 2 people, just figured it would be easier for 3 buddies to do together.

Been drinking Wake Up Dead Nitro and Ten Fidy at home since winter set in.
Also went to the Lagunitas tap room this weekend and had a flight of NightTime, Maximus, Lagunitas Sucks and Imperial Stout. Those were good.

I drink tons of Lagunitas Sucks.
It's definitely a weekly purchase.
The other stuff I drink is mostly not available in Chicago, so I won't bore you.
If I lived there I'd probably just drink Zombie Dust until I was homeless.

My most recent purchases have included Ten Fidy and the always good Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. Also I've always liked New Holland's The Poet but I don't know if it's ever been mentioned here.
Finally, thanks to Pen for pointing out that he's such a Big Wheel down at the Beer Drinking Factory that he likes stuff you guys have probably never heard of.

It's just not available in Chicago, IDITO.
Also, I made it quite clear that you have a beer that I would drink and spend myself homeless for.
But fine, I have been drinking lots of:
Ballast Point Sculpin
Ballast Point Victory at Sea
Lagunitas Sucks
Firestone Velvet Merlin
Firestone Union Jack
Sierra Nevada Celebration
Duchesse De Bourgogne
Those the most. You may be able to get Firestone there. Quite likely, actually.
Definitely Celebration.
Probably Duchesse.
I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones that are top of mind.

Alright that's good - thanks. My brother now works for Lagunitas so I get free beer all the time. Hoping to go to the tap room and drink lots of free beer soon. Yes I'm bragging.
The Duchesse recommendation reminds me that a 4 pack of cuvee des jacobins rouge is in order. Haven't had one in forever. That's my favorite flemish ale hands down.

My brother-in-law worked for a Miller distributor (Chicago Beverage), then Leinenkugel's, the Miller (thanks to the completion of their merger), then MillerCoors (thanks to the completion of their merger), then a Miller distributor (Mullarkey) as long as I've known him. Thus, a shitload of free beer of varying quality. But free beer is the best kind in my experience.
This past July, he became Illinois market manager for Summit Brewery, which makes a nice IPA and a terrific Extra Pale Ale. I'm not the beer connoisseur some of you are, but I like beer: shitty beer, good beer, great beer, free beer, moderately priced beer, expensive beer. The only beer I detest is the $9.75 warm miller lite available at Soldier Field.
In summary, buy a shitload of Summit beer in Illinois so my brother-in-law does not have to move my sister and niece in with me. And also, Slak's life became approximately 20% more awesome with his brother's career development. Far more beneficial than having a brother employed by the post-Jim Kelly pre-Kyle Orton Buffalo Bills.

You can definitely get Firestone's offerings in Chicago - Velvet Merlin is now back in season and is terrific.
Of late, I've been drinking a lot of Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro, Sierra Nevada Celebration, and Dogfish Head 60 Minute which just became available in WI after a several year hiatus.
I don't know if you guys get Central Waters stuff in Chicago (according to this (http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html), you might). Most of their "regular" beers are alright -- not bad, but not great -- but I just picked up a pack of their Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout. I'd compare it favorably to Dragon's Milk if that's your kind of thing. Very similar in taste but not as pricey and a bit lower-octane so you don't get as much of the alcoholic aftertaste. Still not something you want to drink more than one or two of in one sitting, but worth a go if you like oak/vanilla/bourbon flavored stouts. They've got a few other barrel-aged beers like a Scotch Ale and a Cherry Stout, but I've not seen them around.

Most of their "regular" beers are alright -- not bad, but not great -- but I just picked up a pack of their Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout. I'd compare it favorably to Dragon's Milk if that's your kind of thing. Very similar in taste but not as pricey and a bit lower-octane so you don't get as much of the alcoholic aftertaste. Still not something you want to drink more than one or two of in one sitting, but worth a go if you like oak/vanilla/bourbon flavored stouts. They've got a few other barrel-aged beers like a Scotch Ale and a Cherry Stout, but I've not seen them around.
We get Central Waters here.

Well, in that case, it's complete crap.

What are some good beers people have been drinking lately? I've been drinking high life for the most part.
Waited on line on Black Friday for Goose Island Bourbon County Barrel Stout. Was very tasty.

How long a line are we talking about? My local place in Colorado had no line, but a 1 bottle limit. I opted for the Barleywine.

That was the Binny's at north and clybourn, and that was about the half way point of the line, it ran another block and a half.
And yes a lot of fatness and beards

Been drinking Wake Up Dead Nitro and Ten Fidy at home since winter set in.
Also went to the Lagunitas tap room this weekend and had a flight of NightTime, Maximus, Lagunitas Sucks and Imperial Stout. Those were good.
I drink tons of Lagunitas Sucks.
It's definitely a weekly purchase.
The other stuff I drink is mostly not available in Chicago, so I won't bore you.
If I lived there I'd probably just drink Zombie Dust until I was homeless.
My most recent purchases have included Ten Fidy and the always good Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. Also I've always liked New Holland's The Poet but I don't know if it's ever been mentioned here.
Finally, thanks to Pen for pointing out that he's such a Big Wheel down at the Beer Drinking Factory that he likes stuff you guys have probably never heard of.
It's just not available in Chicago, IDITO.
Also, I made it quite clear that you have a beer that I would drink and spend myself homeless for.
But fine, I have been drinking lots of:
Ballast Point Sculpin
Ballast Point Victory at Sea
Lagunitas Sucks
Firestone Velvet Merlin
Firestone Union Jack
Sierra Nevada Celebration
Duchesse De Bourgogne
Those the most. You may be able to get Firestone there. Quite likely, actually.
Definitely Celebration.
Probably Duchesse.
I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones that are top of mind.
You can definitely get Firestone's offerings in Chicago - Velvet Merlin is now back in season and is terrific.
In conducting a quick exercise for Morph, I see that some of the Binny's in Chicago are carrying Sculpin.
It's pretty much the best IPA in the world, so you should all get it ASAP.
I pay $13.99 for a 6-pack of it here, so I would expect similar pricing.
Per Binny's website, they currently have it in:
Lincoln Park
South Loop
Des Plaines
Elmwood Park
Lake Zurich

The Tribune carried this nugget today in an article about Kevin Youklis being hired for some made-up job by the Cubs,
"Youklis and his brother Scott recently bought a brew pub in the trendy town of Los Gatos, Calif., that they plan to reopen this summer."
Los Gatos? Trendy? A brew pub? Los Gatos was lacking a place to go and drink overpriced beer? Who knew?
Los Gatos is like a suburb of Palo Alto and San Jose, situated on Highway 101 between those two cities. I guess that Youklis is counting on a loyal Red Sox constituency among the Stanfurdites on the Peninsula.

Abita Purple Haze. Great hot day drink! But I was told not to tell PEN.
This list showed up in my office email today. It lists all of the union-made beers in the U.S. (Look for the union label...) I have been laboring (no pun intended) under the mistaken impression that Coors was non-union. I did buy a 6 pack of Blue Moon once and really liked it. I needlessly felt guilty at the time.

After sampling a shitton of beers this weekend, Revolution's Mosaic Hero was as good as any of them.
Not sure if they bottle/can it (I see photos of bottles online) or if it's only available at the Brewery or if it's year-round or seasonal or whatever the deal is, but it's fantastic.
Would definitely drink it often if I lived in Chicago.

It's pretty refreshing, it's just a decent beer, nothing better.
The fact that they're a client aside, New Belgium is (by their own estimation) basically "safe craft beer" that's generally a few beats behind.

Not sure if this will take any wind out of your sails, but the TG stuff we're getting in Chicago is brewed in Lakeland, FL through a company called Brew Hub (link: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/brew-hub-announces-partnership-with-toppling-goliath-300064772.html).
It's actually an interesting business model. Die hards will probably say the beer isn't the same, but normal folks will enjoy it, and it increases production volume for breweries without capital investment.
Interesting article for any other beer nerds out there...heard the author on Good Beer Hunting's podcast from 3/31/17 (interesting listen for some viewpoints on the industry in general).

Interesting article for any other beer nerds out there...heard the author on Good Beer Hunting's podcast from 3/31/17 (interesting listen for some viewpoints on the industry in general).

Supposedly Chicago is the most distributed to craft beer market in the country.
We love our Michelob around here.
For the people out there who prefer cider, Stella Artois just might be the very best. Admittedly, I prefer cider that is sweeter rather than dry, so your mileage may vary.
Great read by Josh Noel (among other things, a beer writer for the Trib) on NEIPAs...

Sounds like Corridor has some good ones. I've never been. If you're in the burbs, Noon Whistle (Lombard) makes some great NEIPAs (their 'Gummy' series), and Mikerphone in Elk Grove is making their mark in the style, as well. Other options include Hop Butcher for the World (Galaxy Bowl), Maplewood and Hailstorm (in Tinely Park).

Yeah. I wrote a post some time ago pooh-poohing this but it got lost and I couldn't be arsed to go back and write it again. I understand that this is entirely a matter of taste and as such, completely subjective... but anyone who thinks that Stella Artois cider is the very best really needs to try more ciders. It's fine. Good, even. But the very best? Nope.

In that case, I've been ghey and such before ghey and such were cool. (I believe Dubbs's response when I got a Magner's at Shitty's on his tab was "what the fuck is that?")
Anyway, when the local Binny's Express was closing to move up to a bigger space on 47th, they were blowing out the craft beers and a ton of cider at unbelievably low prices. The Seattle semi-sweet was like $1.99 for a four-pack of tall cans, and that was very good; my imaginary ex quite liked the Virtue brut; the Vander Mills was a bit hit-or-miss (more of a miss on the dry hopped one); and the Bordelet perry was very good. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to score any Bordelet Granit at $12 a bottle, as it was apparently all scooped up by a single person. And then mysteriously started being carried by the wine store that the hippy mart had just opened on 57th, for $29.

A couple years back I was working on a cider project for New Belgium and did an informal focus group/taste testing of what's currently out there to look for white space.
Most of it was pretty terrible, but there were a couple sweets that were crowd pleasers. The dryer ones generally performed better.

I find the Dogfish Head Sea Quech Ale to be a remarkably good example of the sour style, even though it's mislabeled as a session beer at 4.9% ABV.
On the other hand, the Lagunitas Dark Swan is rather meh, as well as being overpriced. Great, 8.7% ABV, whatever.

4.9% is definitely top end, but I'd still consider that a session beer. Is there an official scale for these things?

There isn't, but you'll never see anything over 5% ABV labeled as such.
There was a time that they were sub 4.0%, but it's pretty hard to find anything in this country that low outside of Colorado and Utah gas station and supermarket 3.2%.

So-called 3.2 beers are ABW, not ABV. Honker's used to be 4.2 ABV, which is in the session category, although they've upped it to 4.3. Hell, PBR is 4.7 ABV, and I defy anyone to call it a session beer, modulo the meaning of "session."

Sleeman in Canada brews a strong version of PBR (5.9%), and you can even get it in 24 oz cans. I brought four of those bad boys home with me, because I like bad beer in large quantities, it seems.

At least you didn't get Natty Ice. A friend of mine's brother and sister-in-law came to visit recently (until they checked into a hotel, as they were sharing a room with six foster kittens and their mother), and she somehow chose Hamm's. Turned out that the SIL knew the whole song.

I am disappointed with the 2 Towns Brightcider. I should have known better, as they also have brain-dead flavored ciders. Virtue brand going forward.
Anyway, on the the PBR front, I was totally unaware of its near demise (https://www.npr.org/2018/11/30/672342487/millercoors-to-continue-brewing-pabst-blue-ribbon) until just recently.

It was about 2-3 solid weeks of potential demise before it was miraculously saved.
I'm not saying it was a PR stunt, but I'm a little cynical.
Now, the Penrose Session Sour, at 4% ABV, is accurately labeled. In its tiny 12 oz. cans.
The Finch Tacocat kettle sour, at 5% ABV, is worth every penny.
I know that "funky" beers are all the rage but I've now had two beers that were so fucking "barnyard" it was like they'd just fermented the piss straight out of the horse and now I want to know who the fuck drinks that kind of shit for fun.

We've come a fair distance from . (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=855.msg10671#msg10671=here%5B/url)
Well, since I've been stuck with absurdly expensive delivery down here until I master my late father's Kia Sorrento, I've encountered two APAs. Pseudo Sue (https://www.tgbrews.com/pseudo-sue) somehow merited a rating of 100 from ButtAdvocate, but it's got some potential, and I've got three more, so perhaps I'll treat it a bit more kindly going forward.*
I mention this first because it's more likely to be available to yall than Reef Donkey (https://www.tbbc.beer/reefdonkey), which also throws in some Citra hops, FWIW, but avoids any hint of cloyingness.
And speaking of cloyingness, Diver Down Red Ale (https://www.theidentitytb.com/article/beer-of-the-week-diver-down), another Florida concoction, has it in spades. It reminds me of Founders Breakfast Stout gone horribly awry.
All I can say about Victory Sour Monkey Sour Tripel is that it is, indeed, sour. Doesn't hold a candle to Dogfish Head SeaQuench.
This is mainly for Fork's sake:
Guayabera Citra Pale Ale, poured into an old-fashioned glass. Grapefruit and litter box on the nose, thin head with no lacing, tastes somewhere between nothing and like having just hurled. I can't believe they charge money for this shit, but hey, Florida.
I've always been a porter fan, but Founders is a win, definitely beating the Dirty Bastard at at lower ABV (7.5% vs. 8.5%). Don't know whether they still make the Arrogant Bastard, but it's not available down here in Shitville.
Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty is Not Good. (In my defense, I received it because a delivery shopper was trying to finish out a BOGO, as there was only one 90 Minute Ale left.) Bood Lite is at least neutral in its wateriness.
I'm not going to get Miller Lite for a taste test. Blech.
OK, Sierra Nevada's Big Little Thing is worse.
The umpteenth TBS broadcast of The Last Jedi has informed me that there is now Corona Lite.
