I wanted a blue moon, didn't find it in the store, so I wanted a hoe garden, which is its origin, but they didn't have that either so I got a St Bernardus Witit's in the fridge will probs drink it tomorrowas a sidekick (for another day) I had a Mc. Chouffet Brune, which I fucking love.

>>22175350hey that's great man
>>22175350I was a sad gluten intolerant for most of my adult life, so I’m just now getting into beers. I’ve always liked Stella Artois cider, but I’m branching out into like Midwest craft. Really enjoyed these too:> Spotted Cow, new glarus> la maison, taxman brewing> namaste white, dogfish head> upland wheat, upland brewing> petal to the kettle, upland brewing
>>22175361>guiness during the winterfunny how that works here (not ireland) the pubs are half empty most of the time so the safe spot to drink them is in summer when the pubs are packed, you know beer freshness and all that>idk during the springinteresting
Like a proper millennial I got heavily into craft stuff and still drink that, though with the occasional scotch. For macrobrew shit off draft I'd take a Guinness, I don't really care I'll get whatever sounds good in the moment for canned/bottled shit. As far as regular drinkings at home I've got a fridge full of (famous but mostly regional) craft stuff
>>22175350>St Bernardus Wit>but whylet's dig deep into iy>but no one askedI don't care, fuck the police, the other day we had a thread about blue moon and I found it fascinating, let's just skip to the ingredients, it fukken blew my mindHoegaarden, ingredientsKey IngredientsWater: >Natural spring water forms the base of the brew.>Grains: A blend of malted barley and raw (unmalted) wheat gives the beer its signature hazy, pale look and light body.>Hops: Used for a mild, balancing bitterness.Yeast: >Active brewer's yeast is responsible for the secondary fermentation in the bottle or keg that makes the beer naturally cloudy.>Spices & Botanicals: Crushed coriander seeds and dried Curaçao orange peel provide the distinct citrus and spicy flavor.>Extras: Some regional versions may list small amounts of sugar, citric acid, or apple pectin for stability and flavor balance.Bluemoon's ingredients>Water>Malted Barley and >Wheat>Oats>Orange Peel and Valencia Orange Peel>Coriander>Hop Extract>YeastSt Bernardus Wit ingredients>Water>Barley Malt>Wheat Malt / WheatHops (sourced in part from the St. Bernardus Brewery hop fields)>Yeast (a proprietary top-fermenting strain)>Sugar>Coriander>Orange PeelI'm literally debastated, "Orange Peel" I need exotic fucking oranges, from volcanic island with active volcano in it violently erupting, this is an outrage
>>22175400craft beer can be top notch, can, but it is usually ultra expensive, where I'm at it's like "lol just pay 6€ for a small pint", whew, at least some of the beer they have is really good, I had a porter once I really enjoyed
Murphy’s if I could just find somewhere near me that has it on draft
>>22175350Terra is a very interesting beer in the "clean boring Asian lager" category because it's ridiculously fizzy. Great for hot weather.
>>22175449The good craft beer stuff here is usually sold in pint cans pricing ranging from 4-6 dollars per can, usually in 4 packs, with fresher stuff available direct from the brewery versus reseller beer shops. It used to be all priced relatively the same but now pils/lagers/porters are pretty cheap and the stouts and various stronger IPAs are up there in price
>>22175464oh, that's a letdown, over here we get it from tap from the barrel, but pay it though
>>22175484If you're right at the brewery or a craft bar they sell it off tap otherwise it's mostly cans
>>22175350Big fan of stouts once the weather gets cold but this time of year I like get into the Oktoberfest releases as they begin to appear … lineup for the weekend:Hacker Pschorr Great LakesSierra Nevada
>>22175496we get hella cans here as well from imports and some local breweries, but somehow I view these as lesser things, idk pham, they're all mostly ipas, and germans and belgians (which is pretty much what I like) bet on beer bottles, so idk, what to do of all those cans
>>22175498>Big fan of stoutsmein negger>spark up the fillies and pass the stout>t. Big Ldove in wikipedia and was in awe at the history behind imperial stout, like that down syndrome with the colored lights, so I got pic related, fukken loved it
>>22175458>Great for hot weather.I have this weird condition where if I'm pitched a beer's concept I view it way more positively, I'm 0 learned on jappo beer, but I had this "light beer", picrellike my brother said "a beer for the summer" which it was, I enjoyed it, I kinda like what you're saying about fizzy beers, would
>>22175515Funny you posted that I’ve been drinking Samuel smiths like a maniac this past year, if I keep this pace that original water well of theirs might be in danger of drying up … I never see that Imperial at my store but I don’t mind settling for the Oatmeal or Chocolate
>>22175540imperials are supposed to carry the most alcohol
>>22175458>>22175517I have been enjoying both of these beers lately
DAB is based
>>22175543lol just check the fucking label
>>22176132yes 7% is relatively low for a high alcohol content beer, that's for sure
>>22175444What the fuck point are you even trying to make here man?
>>22176178fine, I'll summarize for youpoint 1: very interesting overall set of ingredient for this style of beers in particular, they all belong to the same category, whichis idk the namepoint 2, when comparing the type of oranges you get this:>Bluemoon's >Orange Peel and Valencia Orange Peel>Hoegaarden>dried Curaçao orange peelboth exotic as fuck orangeswhen St. Bernardus Wit has simply>Orange Peelno fancy oranges here, I was trying to blow it out of proportion for comedic reasonsthere you go
>>22175350as a German all Belgian wheat beers taste very strange too fruity, heavy and not refreshing at all
>>22175350This stuff is my favorite, sadly i cant get it where I live.
>>22176386Allagash came to my area last year. A bar by my house put it on tap and it didn't sell well for some reason, so they put it on $2 Tap night. I think I drank about 15 of them, so fucking good.
>>22176230You know you can grow anything anywhere now right? Those oranges aren't exotic. It's not 1901 anymore
>>22176381you might be talking about this:>>22175444I fucking love both though belgian and german, I'm literally thankful, both are my favorite
>>22176406>Those oranges aren't exoticthey are though, you being assertive != you being right, you technically "can", but yeah, good luck reproducing the exact variety and exact climatic conditions at once, plus somehow inheriting their tradition and knowhow
>unfiltered beer>filters people
>>22176532This beer is a shadow of it's former self. It used to have a thick layer of yeast at the bottom and was very cloudy and a much more bold flavor.
>>22176470If only there was a database that housed all that knowledge about the type of soil and temps they need to grow. Maybe one day
>>22176629Having a database is a long way from establishing an indoor exotic orange grove somewhere
>>22176537Sad to hear, I got a taste for unfiltered beers in Europe and Boulevard seems to be the only one widely available around here
this and a bard of dark chocolate.
>>22175350Didn't know they made a witbierThey make a great quadrupel
>>22176741>11% alcwoah nigga, I thought that was when the porters changed name to Stouts or imperial stouts even
>>22176835thats the volume of the bottle. im pretty sure this beer is 9%ABV, if i remember correctly.
>>22175350just had the St. Bernardus Wit, shit was pretty cash ngl, it's not a bluemoon but noth a let down either, I truly enjoyed it
>>22176838>>22176835i did not remember correctly. its 5.4%
>>221768389 is already pretty high
5-6% is objectively the comfiest ABV
>>22176835Baltic porters are regularly 9-10%
>>22176857interesting, had no idea porters could have that much alcohol
>>22176861It's kind of a separate style to the English porter, much stronger and mostly brewed in Poland and neighbouring countries. They are also usually lagers.Tastes kind of in-between an imperial stout and doppelbock usually
>>22176868What even is the difference between a stout and a porter
>>22176873Stout originally meant "stout porter" and it was a stronger version. Nowadays stouts are usually more roasty but the differences ar less clear
>>22176873they're spelled differently
>>22175350the last thread of beer i didnt bump but to follow up, i had a california-brewed sake (1 generous, warmed serving) and a colorado brewed lager (1x tallboy), both really basic everyday brands, and had no ill reaction whatsoever. i was the guy who said i keep getting destroyed when drinking asahi, even though i used to drink it all the time npnot sure what's up yet, somebody perhaps ironically suggested that foreign foods/drinks are sacrilege and on a whim i wanted to put the theory to test
>>22176896So they're the same now? Since most porters made now are stronger than shit like guinness and equal to most non imperial stouts pumped out at breweries
>>22175350idk whatever's on tap im not gay enough to make a beer brand a part of my personality
>>22176935hmmmlooks like gay is on tap.
>>22176935COMING RIGHT UP, ONE BIG GAY FOR THE MAN RIGHT HERE
It's like Blue Moon but with 10% ABV. Too bad you can only find it at Lake Havasu.
>>22177246>Mudshark Brewerylol gay
>>22177246>MudsharkI know a few
>>22177261I bet your mom does.
>>22177262Knows mudsharks? No she's 70. They didn't do that in her day and age
>>22177263Yes they did sweet innocent child. Enjoy your gross half brother.
>>22177265She grew up in the Midwest. Blacks didn't exist here outside of Detroit back then. That's why they called it the good old days
>>22177268Spiritually you are black faggot. Stop trying to be a fake racist on a cartoon posting forum you fucking queer.
>>22177268She'll die in the Midwest. Which is horrible and I slightly feel sorry for her.
>>22177272Kys tranny
>>22177274Nah it's really nice here
What's the best cheapo beer IYO lads?
>>22177246sounds dope
>>22177494out of the little I know from your chart, I'll take guiness (fresh on tap) and blue moon, out of the rest I only know and tried stella and corona which are meh to my taste
>>22177494jesus christ the fuck is this shit show chart?
>>22177494>>iM rEtArDeD
Weihenstephaner Vitus my beloved
