Greatest Beer Thread Ever!

Almost time for Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. It's the best I've tried.

Whelp. Last Friday I was greeted at my door by two of these. Sent from a friend out in California area, which is only region you can get it.

It is amazing and legendary as advertised. I can't ever remember a beer that kept erupting in bubbles and clingy foam everytime you took a sip. Most of the time it disipates into nothing by the end. This kept on going. Such a powerful citrus aroma. Hope I can get this again someday. Good news is I have one left.

I'll be trying my first one this weekend.

Have you tried anything from Knee Deep Brewing? They seem to be the latest kings of hoppy beer...

Probably hard to get that out where I am. It was pure luck to get the Piny out east. I have not seen Knee Deep out this way in Bottles, although they do have a distributor in the region. But so does Russian River. The problem is the RR distributors only work with Kegs which means the only place you can try them is in Tap rooms in the bigger cities. That may be the case with Knee Deep.

So it was time for a minor celebration, and I decided to try something a bit sweeter. Having never had it before, I decided to try this stuff:

5.9% ABV and you literally cannot tell the difference from ordinary root beer. Whoa. It claims to be normal beer with flavors added to make it taste like root beer. This is a weird claim to me, considering that I can't taste the 'beer' in it at all. A 5 year old kid could drink this stuff and like it.

It should be banned, clearly they are marketing toward children

lmao.

I actually like real beer, so this won't be a go-to drink for me because it's too sweet. But for someone who doesn't like beer this would be the shyt. If I didn't read 5.9% ABV on the label, I seriously would not know that it wasn't Virgil's Root Beer. Even hard cider and wine coolers and such you can taste the alcohol. Not this at all. Tastes like a soft drink. Weird.

Next time add this to them,

I don't buy the bottle just the little shots of smirnoff they sell by the counter. Just put one in per bottle. It'll make it a lot more enjoyable.

America's Fallen Out of Love With These 5 Beers

NEWSER) – Americans still love beer—it's a $100 billion industry in the US—but there are some beers we're just not that into anymore, particularly as specialty and craft beers become more popular. 24/7 Wall St. runs down 10 beers falling out of favor with Americans:

Budweiser: Yes, the King of Beers itself saw a 26% decline in sales between 2009 and 2014, putting it in the 10th spot on the list. In addition to rising craft beer sales, Americans' growing taste for light beer likely also contributed.

Natural Light: Despite the aforementioned demand for light beer, Natty Light saw a 26.6% decline in sales from 2009 to 2014, putting it at No. 9 on the list. Perhaps not surprising, considering RateBeer.com users rank it the worst beer in the world.

Miller Genuine Draft: Jumping toward the top of the list, MGD comes in at No. 3 with a whopping 54.5% decline in sales from 2009 to 2014. MillerCoors is actually closing the plant that first brewed MGD.

Milwaukee's Best: The No. 2 beer on the list saw a 55.7% plunge from 2009 to 2014. 24/7 Wall St. thinks part of the problem might lie in the fact that the beer is marketed specifically to men.

Bud Select: Coming in at No. 1—not a good thing, in this case—is one of Budweiser's low-calorie offerings. Bud Select saw a 60.4% decline in sales between 2009 and 2014, despite the popularity of light beers. Bud Light, on the other hand, remains popular.

Had this back in December and got another pint for later. Hardywood gingerbread stout. Great stuff. If you live in Virginia you must try. Fantastic and world class gingerbread stout. It's seasonal and won't probably be back in until next November.... One of the best things Virginia Breweries make.

Watch out....9.2 alcohol is up there. lol..

I spend half my life finding beer not GMO shit. All the major U.S. brands are GMO, and will probably turn your skin into lizard skin within the next three years unless you die first.

What beer is more popular than Hillary? I only want the best. Not an embarrassment.

Hillary sounds like an awful beer. I bet Sanders could brew a good beer
