Beer Snobs Unite! 100+ IBU or GTFO

I will see if I can find one this evening. There's heaps of English folk in this neck of the woods so I wouldnt be suprised if its easy to find. I think I've seen some of the other Fullers products sitting on the shelves around here.

I will look out for that Quidi Vidi it sounds like it might be right up my alley with more of a balance of Malt and Hops rather than in your face Hops.

You can only get it in Newfoundland and even then it's hard to find some of their products outside st.johns. So unless you know someone from Newfoundland willing to ship you a case your out of luck on that :\

Any good reccomendations for US or Canadian Ales in a similar vein? As far as UK Ales go I usually get into Bellhaven Wee Heavy, Abbotts Reserve that sort of thing.

Rickard's Red should be up your alley, it is as the description states and is pretty commercial so you might just be able to find it in Oz. I know that Moosehead is available down there which is a lager worth trying, although I've found there's a fair bit of variance between batches so I haven't been so impressed with it lately.
 
okay you got me there that is true
although my parents are from the Miramichi I was born in Toronto. We moved to Saint John when I was 16. Fuckin culture shock for a teenager. I claim Toronto. What is their stereotype?
 
Cheers Thujone. Next time I go to the International Beer Shop I will look out for Rickards. They definitely have Moosehead and a couple of other Canadian beers, including Kokanee so I will see what else they have

I didnt end up getting the Fullers ESB it was all out of stock but I went for Hobgoblin Ruby Red and Youngs London Special Ale. Didnt really rate either of them but now I have two new ones to try. Thanks all
 
If y'all like DIPAs that are exquisitely balanced, try some of this:

It comes out of a small brewery in Waterbury, VT which means that you can't find it very often outside of the northeast. If given the chance to try this beer however, do not pass it up! It's the best beer I've ever had.
 
^^^that shit is the absolute fire. my buddy that lives in burlington sent me a 6er of it recently.
 
Little Creatures Pale Ale is definitely the best beer i've ever tried.

McLaren Vale Ale comes close, along with Mountain Goat Hightail Ale, Samual Adams Summer Ale i could go on forever

I figured at least one other person here had tried it. Glad you agree! I think your buddy knows something I don't, as I can only find them in 4pks (tallboys).

had the dogfish head imperial IPA (10.1 ABV) last night. All it tasted like was alcohol. Some things should not be undertaken.

Are you talking about the 90 minute? Because that might be the best IPA I've ever had. The 120 Minute is more like 18-20% ABV, so I don't think you're talking about that one, but I can only imagine your reaction to it if the 90 minute was too much.

This is a malt beverage which will never touch my lips again

after I finish the 6 pack

I thought it was beer :(

Yeah, that beer is shit. Only bought it because of the name was it turned out to be way too sweet. Never been a fat of fruity beers, although FWIW they taste marginally better on tap.

I like fruity beer and like this but out of principle I don't drink malt liquor.

Purple Haze is a wheat beer and only like 4% ABV so it's not like you're drinking Mickey's or Steel Reserve. It's hardly malt liquor, Abita is just fucking with you when it prints 'malt beverage' on the label. It's as much of a regular beer as that Flying Dog you just posted. So you're safe. Also, DAT ASS (in reference to the other pic in which that flying dog bottle made an appearance).





Recently tried Rogue's Voodoo Doughnuts, their 'bacon maple ale'. It was . . . unique. Unfiltered. Sweet. Never thought I'd say this about a brew, but definitely a 'breakfast beer'.

then they have to mark it wheat beer
I am a fuckin word snob and I should have turned the bottle to show the cool label in dat ass shot


When is Magic Hat's Wacko coming out? My dude was vague. I usually can get it at the grocery store anyway.
Long Trail Pollinator is coming to my local shop next week
