Greatest Beer Thread Ever!

[fr33]

In all seriousness, in the history of the internet, this is only like the 138th greatest beer thread ever.

Good enough for beer.

C'mon man, you gotta give it a chance. It's still in its infancy. Wait until someone rolls in 10 beers deep and is thanking everyone for all their wisdom.

Got stuck on post #138 a bit too long?

Will do.


I agree that the current drinking age is ridiculous and that 21 has no significance whatsoever, but I refuse to break the law. I know several hardcore democrats that drank underage. While they're drinking the real deal, I'm like...

Hey, to each their own. Good on ya.

Although, I'll agree with Eduardo. An unjust law is null.

Colombia has some surprisingly good beer.

I see beer and babes is universal.

They also shoot you in the head if you score an own-goal against the United States.

How about this robot to help elevate the level to 137th?

The popcorn pushes it at least to 124.

Do you enjoy popcorn with your beer? My family thinks it's gross, but it's nice and salty. Yum!

Thanks for the thread, y'all. I appreciate the suggestions WRT what to try next. I haven't had good experiences with beer so far...

Try these,they are easy beers for starters;

Deschutes has a pretty large selection. The River Ale is a great place to start. Pretty tasty. http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/brews/list

Drinking or brewing?

Drinking. Had an IPA (IDR the name) some time ago that I found bitter and undrinkable. Tried a few others I didn't care for either over several months' time. So, I've been leery of trying something new. (I also don't have the money to experiment much) I've been sticking with stuff I know I enjoy since then.

If someone were handing out free beer samples I'd gladly take some.

Are those widely available or will I have to go to a specialty store? I still haven't found a place that sells Kentucky Bourbon-which AF suggested I try.

Woo, yeah, IPA is a bad one to start off on. Hops is an acquired taste and some never acquire it. My dad likes a low hop taste and can't handle too many IPAs. Avoid darks and stouts as well, if you're a liquor drinking a stout might be OK.

I think a Pale Ale or a Blonde might do alright. An Irish Red is darker but has a nice caramel flavor to it.

I might could put a sampler together for you. My buddy just got done with a Brown Ale, and I've got some Irish Red and Blonde left from an earlier batch.

I don't know about your neck of the woods, but they are in just about every grocery store here. Hmmm, I'll check that out, Arizona, right?

This is their distribution area.

It seems they don't serve the east side of the country. The River Ale is a lot different from a IPA.

Agreed, IPA is not a good place to start. Irish red and Blond both are. I mentioned the river ale because it has a bit more flavor but nothing someone who hasn't drank much beer would get the "bitter face" over.

HB, how is it you can't find a Kentucky Bourbon? Don't they sell liquor in your state?
