Beer thread

[Aadill]

I know a lot of people that don't drink Budweiser because they think it tastes like shit but gladly drink Bud Light. I guess they're too used to the watered down stuff. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As much as I demonize the big domestic 3, Coors, Miller and Budweiser, I will admit they are tolerable for a mass-quantity/lake BBQ type event.

What I can't wrap my head around is that 'Light' shit. Seriously...you guys LIKE drinking watered down beer? That's all Coorsweiser-Highlife does to make Light.... they either add more water to the finished product or reduce the amount of fermentable grains, to get the same result, less 'beer' and more water by volume

Blech.

And bonus! More trips to the bathroom!

Hacker Pschor Weiss has to be one of the best I've ever tried. If you grab a bottle, make sure you look up how to pour it on the net (and hopefully you get the glass that's in the picture).

It's surprising to me that so many unique beers are being posted in this thread. I bartend and can honestly say that 90% of beer sold are your usual domestic varieties: ML, BL, M64, MGD, Miller, Bud, Coors etc.

This deeply saddens me. So many good brews and microbrews out there that the general public will never get to enjoy, simply because they've been brainwashed by mediocrity and Superbowl commercials.

Watered down or not, its still my favorite beer. I guess its a habit. I do like a fresh draft blue moon with an orange slice tho! Ale i know but its not a bud [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I could really go for a cold unfilter weiss with a slice of lemon right about now...

The local micro (before it closed) made something very comparable to Hacker-Pschorr and I swear we used to get a growler of it a weekend during the summer.

Do you get cinnamon or nutmeg sprinkled on the head?

Drafthouses like the Flying Saucer (southeast US) have over 200 types of beer on tap/in bottles, chilled and ready for enjoyment. I think they offer $40 belgians all the way down to PBR. Surprisingly enough barely anyone buys the cheap shit because there is just no way you can't enjoy having so much power to choose at your fingertips.

At a regular bar I'd expect it, because no bar is going to go out of their way to possibly hurt margins by stocking up on stuff no one wants. If you are a bartender I recommend getting a few six packs of something unique and letting people try them on a special. See if it bites, and have some more in the following weeks not on special and see if people stick with it, then decide if it's worth stocking up on it to bring something unique and flavorful into an otherwise drab and depressing world of piss water. Who knows.. could be a new surprising part of the business!

I like Blue Moon for what it is. Expand your horizons just a bit and you'll see Coors is doing a phenomenal job with its fake 'Sandlot Brewery' and Blue Moon is just a typical Belgian White Ale.
Belgian Whites are unfiltered, light-bodied wheat ales made with Noble hops, citrus peel and spices like anise, cinnamon and coriander. Meant to be enjoyed with a fruit wedge.

Sound Familiar?

Ever tried the seasonal Honeymoon, or Wintermoon?
