Greatest Beer Thread Ever!

Yah, an' I can't find it here anymore.

Stone started on the West coast and about 4 years back they opened an East coast location in Virginia, so we are pretty stocked with it here. Most of their stuff is pretty high quality. I'm not a hop head, but I do like IPAs and most of their signature stuff is hop forward.

Not really much of a beer drinker. Last time I touched alcohol was 3 years ago. I don't even drink during the holidays when I have family outings.

I wasn't either.....especially the American adjunct stuff like Bud, Miller, Coors. I was always a wine drinker. It wasn't until my wife entered me into a Beer of the Month club back in 2003 and I got my first pack from a place in Colorado Called Great Divide Brewing. Had something called Yeti, Hop Shot ESB and a beer called Hibernation. Then I tried Belgian beer. I never knew beer could be so complex

CRAFT BEER WITH A FREE-MARKET CHARACTER

As the microbrewery trend is seeing a rise everywhere in the world, 2018 saw the launch of the White Collar Brewing in Bucharest, in my native Romania. Behind the already highly acclaimed beers lies an interesting piece of information: the brewery is the entrepreneurial endeavor of an Austrian economist, professor at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest and former Mises Institute fellow, Bogdan Glăvan.

Bogdan’s business started as a passion for craft beers, filling in a gap in a domestic market saturated with mass-produced, bland tasting options. Although he built it alongside his lifelong dedication to scholarship in the tradition of Mises and Rothbard in his academic profession, the two passions are not as separate as you might expect.

First, one of the beers is named “Zero Taxe” (eng. Zero Taxes), a nod to the main policy recommendation of any consistent Rothbardian. Bogdan also recommends it to be enjoyed together with Mises’s Human Action. Some of his customers also subscribe to this view and their recommendations on the brewery’s homepage are equally witty: “[The beer] is so good, the government should nationalize it and redistribute it to all its citizens. IPA for the people!”

I don't suppose that's available in the States?

To add on to this, I'd rather drink wine than beer.

To add on to this, I'd rather drink wine than beer.

Truth be told, I would rather drink bourbon than either.

I know this is GREATEST Beer, but this deserves it's place in the hall of shame. Smoked German Helles. Most people love this stuff, but it's just to overpowering for me. Smells like a campfire in your beer. I mean, you can smoke a Porter or a Stout or some heavy beer, but this style is just to delicate to me to do that to it. YUCK.

You know whats not a good beer? Miller Lite. Tried it one time and I thought piss would taste similar. But hey at least its got a good designed can. That's the most appealing thing about it.
