Both of these brewers make better side-label beers than their main label.

lol, like if someone made a pumpkin beer that actually tasted like pumpkin, as opposed to the “various spices associated with pumpkin pie.”

You don’t deserve to drink beer.

Thank you for giving me the words to explain why I generally don’t like session IPAs. While I’ll try not to be the asshole who lectures anyone on their inferirority, it does help to have the words to explain why I always think they seem to taste like watered-down versions of good beer.

Disdain for Bruce is based purely on ignorance 95% of the time.

No, you don’t get 2112. it’s about the primacy of the individual, and if you will just wait as I draw breath for the next 90 seconds, I can explain that in an uninterrupted 45-minute monologue.

Yes! I am seeing them twice next month with MTX and Screeching Weasel. It’s the closest thing I have to a time machine.

My maternal grandfather, age 12, with his parents and younger sister at the Baltic Sea resort of Ahlbeck, in July 1906. (I posted a couple of photos of him in his German WWI uniform in the Father’s Day photo thread. His sister Lucie was murdered in the Holocaust together with her husband and two children.) I wonder…

My routine usually involves ~3 craft brews that generally have a bit higher alcohol followed by as many PBR/Yuengling/whatever’s as the night calls for (or bourbon or wine or oftentimes all of the above).

A few of the other breweries have been churning them out; not as good as Red Bud but they’re there. I’ve been seeing the Real Ale Gose around but haven’t tried it, had the Boiler Room last night and it’s not bad

I’ve been hoping they’ll start sending that around the state more. Was at Indy two weeks ago and it was fantastic.

I second the Destihl recommendation, that whole series is great. Actually just made a post of my own before I saw yours here.

If you see these near you get them! Both are readily available in the Chicagoland area.

Just did a tasting of Berliner Weisses this past weekend and must say the Doghead Festina Peche was fantastic. Just tart and sweet enough, much better than the Evil Twin Nomader Weisse that was like a lemonhead on steroids.

Can we get a Fernet-Branca vs. Jeppson’s Malört smackdown?

It’s never the gun that killed people that matters, it’s the gun the dead ones didn’t have.

I occasionally order an IPA because they score highly on my own personal beer ranking system. Then I remember that I do not like the taste of IPAs. My personal beer ranking system is a mathematical formula that goes as follows:
