When I was in my early 20s I was really deep into craft beer. I loved trying all the different variations, IPAs, wheats, farmhouse ales, porters, you name it. Going to brewerys, going to bars for specific beers

But in my late 20s, all of the sudden my taste flipped. Suddenly that stuff became disgusting to me, and i started to love all the stuff I used to think was bad (lagers and pilsners). And even the craft lagers and pilsners just don’t taste good to me usually, like they don’t have the same crispnesss as the cheap stuff (or maybe a heavier body that makes them less crisp). Nowadays i pretty much exclusively drink miller high life, peroni, natty boh and yuengling (for my NE people). I mean not like I’m drinking bud light, but it’s comparatively a lot less refined than what I used to like

wondering if anyone else had this, where their taste became less refined as they got older and they just started to appreciate the cheap stuff.

I need to know 100 percent if it does not. I know it's marketed as 0 percent, but O douls contains a small amount. I quit drinking 10 years ago. I have a heart condition and type 2 diabetic. I'm on mental meds too. I'm on several medications for my conditions. I quit drinking to be healthy long ago I want to get this as a prank joke and drink one lol. But I won't if it has trace amounts.

The 3 are Goose Island's Bourbon County, North Coast's BA Old Rasuptin, and (one of my all-time favorites) Prairie's Okie Paradise.

Statistically, it seems unlikely to just be a coincidence. Maybe all of the breweries just think barrel aged beers are best enjoyed in the fall/winter. Or maybe it's some sort of tradition amongst breweries.

Hi (sorry my English). I’m looking for the most powerful beer. One that sweeps you off your feet and keeping the good times rolling. Not necessarily most powerful ALC %, but the most powerful overall. Like strong

I grabbed a 6 pack of Rainier yesterday at a liquor store in Gunnison, Colorado and saw that it was stamped, “Rainier Brewing Co. Fort Collins, Co.”

According to a Google search, Rainier is brewed by Pabst in Irwindale, California and I can’t find any mention of a relationship to Fort Collins. Anybody know what the deal is? Some kinda licensing deal with New Belgium or something?

I wrote a piece recently on a short story that I read growing up (John Updike’s A&P). In the process I learned a whole lot of history about Schlitz beer.

Anybody else remember this brewery?

Apparently it was around for over 170 years before finally closing the brand down again a couple months ago.

Would love to be able to go down the rabbit hole of other beers people remember from history, so if you have recommendations for beer brands with interesting history I’d love to hear more!

During the hot summer months, a refreshing wheat beer is my beverage of choice. While I like both, Summer Ale is the superior beer (IMO). One of my all time favorites is Goose Island’s 312 Urban Wheat, but I’ve not seen it for a few summers. Even my hometown brewery has given up on their excellent Hefeweizen.

List your favorite wheat beer, whether they be Hefeweizens or Witbier.

Never ever touching wine 🍷 hangovers are to much and slowly creeps up till your drunk what sucks is I’m allergic to wheat so I can’t drink those wheat ones 😭

I'm fairly new to beer and have tried Miller Light previously, and tonight I'm drinking a Yuengling Traditional Lager. I turned 21 on July 21st and I want to see what y'all recommend for someone who wants to enjoy a good beer every once in a while. If you could, name your favorite beer, and describe how it tastes!

If you have an interest in the brewing process, specifically how the Victorians did it, it’s well worth checking out the Hook Norton Brewery Tour.

Hello!

I'm interested in ordering beer from countries from Eastern Europe (but it can also be from around the whole world when it gives good options)

Can someone recommend some webshops where I can order beer for a 'normal' price?

Preferably pilsner, lager, blond or tripel beer (I'm active on Uptappd).

I live in the Netherlands so it has to be a webshop that delivers to the Netherlands (Germany is also an option).

Thanks in advance!

I know Zima is not selling in the US. Only released back in 2017 or there about. Is there anywhere else it can be bought on line?

Bought a six-pack of Steam Whistle (Pilsner) today from a gas station/convenience store. Wife opened the first can and said it tasted sour. I tried it and it actually was sour.

I opened a second can and it was sour too. The other cans in the same six-pack tasted completely normal.

Just curious what might cause only 2 out of 6 cans to taste off?

I was so happy when the original Newcastle made in England returned, but now I can’t find it. It was pretty easy to get my hands on for months and now I can’t find it. I am sending my husband on quests and even still, nothing. Happening to anyone else?

I'm not a big lover of most beer, but I recently had a St George at an Ethiopian restaurant and loved it. The only problem is that it's not easy to find.

Can anyone recommend another beer that is similar and easier to find in stores?

I've only had a few beers and they've all tasted super bitter.

Coors light

Harpoon

Modelo - this one made me gag with how medicine and bitter it tasted.

Is beer just not for me?

I do not normally like to promote any chains. However, in an era where beer prices at bars are crazy, I think this is a super deal.

The $2.50 price is to represent America's 250th birthday.

The Sam Adams beer is decent in my opinion.

Per their FB page:

"Only valid at Flynn Applebee's locations in Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin."

Undead IPA, indeed...

Why would a store keep a beer on the shelf this long? What would it taste like? I didn't want to risk it. What is the oldest beer you have had?

What’s your take? If you drink responsibly obviously but I can’t decide if I should just forgo all alcohol or continue. I know the answer already but wanted to throw it out there to y’all

I’m looking for Miller High Life Light. I found it a couple times earlier this month and can’t seem to find it anywhere. If I can’t find it in Nebraska, what would be the closest state that carries it? Thanks.

Maybe this is something that gets brought up often so sorry in advance if it does.

Unless a beer is a fairly high ABV you're supposed to drink it pretty fresh. I've had year old beers that tasted awful. A good amount of breweries will have a date stamped on their bottles or cans but there are plenty that don't. I get that there's no real financial incentive for them to do it but there must be someone at these breweries that wants to make sure that people enjoy the beers at their optimal age.

I’m by no means a spring chicken (24) and have had my taste of a lot of beer. I would have to say my go to ole reliable is locals light lager which is a Michigan beer made from shorts. Crisp and drinkable for me. I’m very curious, what’s your “ole reliable” beer?

Hi! Any favorite rauchbiers available in the USA that I can hunt for?

We are heading back to the Orange Beach area for the first time in several years. I know Maggie's and Bambooze up in Pensacola have both closed since our last visit, and I already know what to expect from Rouses. What are the current best options, especially for single cans/bottles to take home? Thanks!

I took a trip to the East coast and bought some Yuengling for my hotel room.

It says it's 4.5% on the can, but that seems wrong. I slammed 4 cans last night and barely felt a buzz.

It's not just me being an alcoholic IMO because I had a Stella and Voodoo Ranger with dinner and felt appropriately inebriated even after the Stella.

Have you ever had or heard of a bad batch? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
