Beer

[yeezus]

To bump this thread. I've had a few good ales this week.

First starting off with some of the Fat Tire I got as part of my reward for moving my brother and sister in law to New Orleans. Second I enjoyed some Flying Fish Red Fish. Have to give them credit that beer really is a hit for me. I love Flying Fish think they make good beers but I think they're a little lost in their identity. I think they imagine themselves as more of a Belgian style brewer, when their best brews are American Pale Ales and IPAs. To me the best brews they've made are their Exit 16, Exit 9, Red Fish and Hop Fish. Exit 4 is their only Belgian I truly enjoy. Their Dubber is pretty weak, their farmhouse is weak, and their Grand Cru I'm underwhelmed with.

Tonight I'm sipping on a slightly cooler than room temp Weyerbacher Blashphemy. Debating to myself who does American Belgians the best, Weyerbacher, Alagash, or Ommegang? And why are they all in the Northeast?

There's a bar on my street that charges $2.75 for pints of any Flying Fish brew.

That would cause a problem for me. Under 3 bucks for good beer. I'd probably never go anywher ebut there. Get done work go to the bar. Passout in car. Repeat.

Got a Sam Adams Utopia. Will be drinking this weekend.

I have tried a few different types, but think beer is pretty disgusting. Any tips? I would like to be able to drink a few just for social reasons..

Not a huge fan of beer either. I can drink it but its not my preferred method of getting drunk. I prefer mildly mixed drinks like pineapple vodka or jack w/coke. Give me 5 or 6 of those and I have a good night.

Well I prefer to never get drunk, think its pretty worthless, but thats another subject

I was always a guy that smoke a whole lot of weed in college and in my early 20's so getting drunk wasn't my thing. But, as I get older I am finding it more and more fun to be drunk and I look back at my teenage and early 20 years wishing I got drunk more often. Now, I still think its crazy that weed is illegal and alcohol is legal but booze are not as awful as I thought they were.

It's really about trying a lot. What food or other alcoholic drinks do you like?

Dont enjoy seafood at all. Drinks or alcohol?

Drinks I like about everything, except Cherry Coke.

Alcohol, for now, my drinks of choice are soco and lime, crown and coke.

You may enjoy like a barrel aged Belgian. Or something along that line yo bring in the familiar flavors. You can also go to a good beer bat and order a flight of beers. Will let you try a large variety and sampling them can give you an idea of a style you may enjoy

This thread needs to be bumped. Some new beers I've had lately.

Heady Topper - fantastic imperial IPA. Almost impossible to get but well worth it.

Dogfish sixty one - very interesting. Only real way to describe it. Slight flavors of both an IPA and wine.

I will update with a few more recently

Zito and Meta, I'm sure you'll be glad to know I'm venturing out from my usual cheap lite beer. Trying some Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat and some Derailed Black Cherry Ale tonight. Really digging the Black Cherry Ale.

[zitothebrave]

That's impressive, maybe next your boyfriend will order you a zima

What do you recommend then? Still hate dark beer and and the last time I tried an IPA I hated it.

my beer shelf in the fridge right now:

Drink whatever you choose, I'm just busting your balls, but if you don't like "dark" beers or IPAs I'd recommend pilsners, lagers, cream ales, pale ales, and Kolschs.

I'm sad I won't be able to get Hopslam this year, I could make the hop across the Delaware or get a friend from PA to get it but this year just won't happen since I won't be back inJersey this month most likely.

[goldfly]

had someone mail me my white whale of beers recently.

opened it today for the first time



great f'n beer and wish i could get it easier than the 2 years it took for me to get my hands on it. I understand why it is always ranked in the top 10 (if not higher) beers in the world year in and year out
also picked this up for April 6th

Not sure where you operate, but Three Floyds is my backyard. We could/should organize some beer trades.

And yea: Zombie Dust is ****ing incredible.

Have you had Apocalypse Cow, though?

Once I can figure out a place where I can steadily get Heady Topper, I would be interested in talking about making a highly rated IPA for highly rated IPA trade. Best part about Heady, when you get it it's stupid fresh
