Beer Snobs Unite! 100+ IBU or GTFO

I am not a fan of Sweetwater either.

You told me that you don't like drinking, lol.

Ya, like 7 years ago— get with the times, dad.

Agreed— I'd never order one of their beers at a bar. They've done a couple good beers in their Dank Tank series, though.

i fucking love sweetwater IPA.

never been to hop city. will check it out.

that duchesse has got me curious, Pander Bear.

i think this qualifies as snobbish beer. i was there for big bottles of stout, but found this in the cold aisle today and couldn't resist taking one home.

head is out of control, as usual with trappist ales. like birthday cake. there was a time in life i called this my favorite.

[OTGee]

Anything super, oh aye mate
But tbh, expensive fancy mans beers taste like shit. Stick with the classics people.

you don't just splash it in there?

 

[Pander Bear]

you both doin' it wrong: drink belgians from the bottle— keeps all the flavors in.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^you wouldn't! more silt in the bottom of that bottle than the nile.

[Perpetual Indulgence]

haha, that was my first thought as well.




Just bought a bottle of Weyerbacher Insanity, a barrel-aged barleywine. I enjoyed their Double Simcoe and the Hops Fusion, at least they do IPAs right. Interesting brewery.

i drink more sierra nevada than anything

harvest northern hemisphere ale, torpedoes, stout, porter, bigfoot ale, it's all good

bear republic racer 5, big black stout, and red rocket ale are bomb too

and i don't think any beer in the world is better than pliny the elder from russian river brewing...sooooo fucking good

 

[justsayknow]

^They've just started promoting sierra nevada pretty hard in Australia. I'm not sure how well they think they are going to do at +$6 for a 330ml bottle though. Its good but I'm not sure its that good especially when you can get better European or local stuff for that price or lower for 500ml or 750ml

 

[Pander Bear]

just had a couple good one's on WAAO's dime when he flew into town...

both excellent.

definitely. IPAs are so freaking gross

I finally had a chance (or overwhelming hankering) to sample Asahi "super dry" and it was pretty damn good. Seems like the only options for Japanese brew here is Asahi or Sapporo but Sapporo is brewed locally and frankly the only reason to buy that is for the steel can. Asahi, on the other hand, is legit and actually quite good. It tastes as beer should taste, which is simply what makes it worth having.

Check out Kiuchi Brewery. Just look for the owl on the label!

 

[thujone]

I'll look for it, thanks for recommending

 

[Pander Bear]

You're not going to like it much if Asahi is your idea of how beer ought to taste, though.
