Friday again, been a long brewday today so why not end it with some beer!

Buying? Brewing? Cellaring? Drinking?

I opened this one up. Might be the first time i am really let down by the brewery. Expected way more coffee than i got.

Cheap and industrial low abv ale, not that big of a selection of those here.

Works alright as an alternative to pissy macro lagers.

Drank some SN oktoberfest yesterday and even though in many ways i liked it i felt the hops might have been a little too strong for me. Thing is im a complete scrub so most craft beers with flavorful hops are a little too much for me, so im just wondering if my reaction with this one is due to just being a scrub bitch or if it actually had pretty strong hops. Sorry for no picture.

classic Oktoberfest beer isn't really hoppy or strong in taste in general, so i am kinda surprised.
never had an american version of that type of beer though.
I quite like strong hoppy beers,

myself am not going to get any craftbeer today, but will just stick to a selection of my (really good) local/regional brewery

The brewery teamed up with a german brewery, Brauhaus Reigele, to make the oktoberfest. The consensus online seems to be that it's good, so if you're interested and Sierra Nevada is available over there it might not be a bad idea to try it since it's American yet German, too.

It was my first Marzen and was expecting more malt but i think its just my over sensitivity to bitterness so far. Wasn't bad though and i still got some left which might turn out better than the first impression idk.

Imperial IPA at 10%. Not getting the overwhelming bitterness I expected (label says 100 IBUs), nor am I tasting the 5 hops properly. Letting it sit in the glass to heat up a bit.

Pretty sure the american oktoberfests do put a bit more hops in the taste than german ones so that might be it.

>>6979699
Yep.

>>6979720
Single hop DIPA? Never tried it but it does sound interesting in that you would really get the profile of the selected hop. I cleaned out all the old bags of leftover hops myself so it ended up being a Mosaic/Centennial/Ahtanum/Simcoe IPA.

Had this one after dinner. Best flavored stout i have tried so far, the regular Yellow belly was great but this one pushes even further, can not stop smelling the darn thing!

It was like where they really do know how to make a good fat IPA they really struck out on making a worthwhile stout. Gnarlywine or Little sumpin extra for me.

>>6979919
I hope so. Also first time using the Heady topper yeast for something else than a clone of said beer, it should play well with the massive amounts of hops dropped into the wort.

Third year with the Fullers vintage series for me, great stuff as always, ESB on steroids!

Anon from earlier talking about not liking the oktoberfest here.
Opened up another and wow was i wrong. This shit is great, the first one was alright and the second way too bitter, im starting to think its because i paired it with this really heavily spiced and fat porkchop. I dont really why i got that impression but its great this time around, very toasty. Served in a traditional german weis A&W® glass, tbh.

Definitely not. Compare the difference in taste between Angry Orchard and Redd's Apple Ale. One is crisp, clean, and tart, and the other tastes like Laffy Taffy.

That's a drastic example but it applies to other beers similarly. Abita's harvest ale tastes very similar to DuClaw's Sweet Baby Jesus, despite one supposedly being peanuts and the other being pecans. I suspect they use the same artificial flavoring.

Just turned 21 a couple of days ago, what should I drink?

I got some Redd's Wicked because I remembered liking it when I had it at a friend's house. It's good enough, it just feels a little too sweet compared to what I think of when I think of beer (which I really don't know since I'm kind of a beer virgin). I read somewhere that Sam Adams Boston Lager is supposed to be okay so I got a 6 pack of that, but it kind of tastes like skunk ass. If anyone here likes Boston Lager, could you explain why to me so I can understand whether I don't like that one specifically or if I just don't like beer in general? Also, any personal favorites or other reccomendations that I can find at most places (mostly Walmart)?

Thanks guys.

Fellow beer noob here. Theres bitterness in beer and that turns off a lot of people, thing is that you got to try to understand why its their (balance out sweetness, give it certain desirable flavors) and as you drink a couple good beers you'll start to notice it. It's not that much of an acquired taste, kind of like mildly spiced wings, you usually get used to it the second time or something. Thing that is recommended is to get lightly bittered beers, so its more like mildly spicey wings rather than some "ebin nuclear wings dude lmao xD®". Sierra nevada is readily available but their pale ale is decently bitter (according to ibu) and their torpedo is quite bitter, and those two are the commonly found ones.

Another important thing to know are the ingrediants, malt and hops, mainly. Malt is the sweet basis for the beer, while hops are like a seasoning which give it bitterness mostly. Both malt and hops can add quite unique flavors and they both have a decent spectrum of variety.

So yeah bruh if you can go to some total wine or some other decent alcohol retailer you should be good. If not a supermarket thats not limited like walmart would be nice too.

Sure, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with "organic" or not. Redd's and Angry Orchard are fundamentally different sorts of beverages. Redd's is similar to traditional alcoholic cider. Angry Orchard and its ilk are more like beers with added fruity apple flavor. Sort of like Mike's Hard Lemonade and similar. They taste different because one of them is fermented from apples while the other is beer with apple flavor added.

Alcohol is an acquired taste to begin with, and the fermented stuff that accompanies it is also an acquired taste.

You might consider toughing it by letting a shot of vodka sit in your mouth, then spitting it out, and so on until alcohol without any extra flavour stops being outright painful. Then beer will seem like a cold, savoury soup.

I couldn't stand red wine until I alternated sips of it with red meat, and then they balanced each other.

Hmm. I'd suggest their Born Yesterday pale ale once it hits shelves and Sucks (make sure it's fresh), It's not easy to find some brewery's IPAs at their freshest with the current over saturation of readily available highly distributed IPAs. They are a great brewery and they have got to be putting out the most dirt cheap craft beer out there. $4 for a bomber of Hop Stoopid is an incredible deal. $10 for a bomber of a barrel aged imperial stout simply can't be beaten. Is the quality there in comparison with a $30 barrel aged stout? Maybe not, but you at least can start building up a pretty decent cellar without breaking the bank by getting some Lagunitas Gnarlywine, Imp Stout, and high westified.

>>6984776
Not a big blue moon fan, but the best direction you could go in would be exploring more..craft rather than crafty witbiers. I'd personally suggest going for some hefeweizens instead. Should be somewhat familiar territory while having a more strict set of rules on what ingredients are in the beer. From there I'd move into some belgians like Dubbels, Tripels, Quads, Saisons, and definitely their pale ales like Duvel. Be prepared for more flavor and more alcohol though. Blue Moon is pretty much most people's entry level beer and you're likely to never buy the stuff ever again after your palate changes over time.
>>6985509
Yeah, not a fan. I'm not someone who would normally get a black and tan to begin with, but Mississippi Mud is pretty meh even for the money. If you're trying to get a cheap buzz I guess it's an improvement over malt liquor though..
>>6980200
>without alcohol
there's your problem dude. You can taste good and alcoholic beer without getting the effects of alcohol if you just drink a small amount. Quality >quantity as you most likely know. Beer isn't drank simply for effect anymore, but that doesn't mean you can create the best beer in the world without any alcohol in it. Go for some lambic

Russian River's Row 2 Hill 56 is easily one of the greatest pale ales.hoppy beers ever made and it's strictly using simcoe hops. If anyone wants to make an incredible homebrew then just try your best to make a Row 2 Hill 56 clone and you'll have a beer you want to keep drinking and brewing all year round. It's seriously perfect and super underrated compared to their most well known beer Pliny

Well the good news is that there are beers out there that can have a good chunk of those flavors in them..the bad problem is you can't have the average beer drinker mentality on beer price...because you're gonna have to shell out wine-spirits prices to get all of that. Vanilla flavor can come from bourbon barrels along with some baking spice. Also can alter a more dark chocolatey taste to an almost milk chocolate / chocolate milk taste. There are a handful of stouts out there that use vanilla or vanilla extract as an adjunct as well. Plenty of stouts use oatmeal, lactose, and artisinal cacao nibs. I can't give too many specific examples of good options for you simply because your location matters quite a bit. Stone's Imperial Russian Stout is a solid and usually pretty available option. Their variant on it from this year has Chai Masala tea spices added to it which is pretty awesome if you are a fan of that kind of tea. FiftyFifty brewing (doesn't distro to all states, probably doesn't even send stuff out of the US) has B.A.R.T. vanilla which should be a good option as well.

buy yourself an IPA(ballast point, stone, sierra nevada, etc.), a stout (or porter)...don't go with Guinness for the love of god, an entry level sour (monk cafe, duchesse, petrus pale, cuvee de jacobins), an entry level lambic from Lindemans, sierra nevada barleywine or stone old guardian, and lastly get yourself a belgian of nearly any kind (I'd say a tripel, saison, or dubbel) or a darker german style like a doppelbock. Can't give much more specific options because IDK where you live or what beers are distributed to your area. I promise you that if you try all of the listed beer styles in a blind tasting or even not blind you'll see how beer tasting isn't bullshit at all and how wine tasting is MOSTLY bullshit. IPAs, stouts, and sours are all polar opposites from each other and they all focus on different ingredients that are going in there. IPAs are focused on hops, stouts are focused on the malted barley, and sours are most focused on the yeast+bacteria.

Currently brewing a Cooper's Stout beer kit. It's already been a week and the gravity has stabilised, so I'll probably bottle it tomorrow or on Tuesday. Based on the samples I've tried, it's not bad at all and it'll only cost me something like 25 pence per pint compared to spending £2.00-£2.50 a bottle for stout in the supermarket.

I got into kit brewing because I've been spending way too much money on beer, but as soon as I acquire enough fund I'll get a 25 litre brew pot and try all-grain brewing. The beer will be better and I should save even more money.

Prima Pils? Have't had it. It is actually one of their only year round beers I haven't had. Even if I did, I am not a good judge of pilsners/lagers in general. I want to change that though, and I am trying to drink more lagers.

However, I really like Victory. Sure, they have a tendency to, in some people's opinion, "overhop" everything they brew, but I don't think they overhop. There is a definite emphasis on hops, but I don't think it is excessive, and they know their way around them. For instance, Hop Ranch is just one of the absolute best IPAs I have ever had.

They can do more than IPAs though, if you see Moonglow Weizenbock buy it, because it is a perfect fall beer, just as good as any german import.

Only brewery I drink/purchase more beer from is Ommegang.

Cool to see there are more homebrewers on here! Hope it turns out great!

btw there is absolutely no good reason to use a secondary. It has no real benefits and will expose your beer to unnecessary oxygen potentially ruining it. I learned that the hard way!

Fuller's 1845 is a great British beer. One of the best I've had imo fam.

Inb4 vintage ale is better. Yeah I'm sure but I'm still not gonna recommend something I can't buy (and try) for myself.

I was actually just reading about this a day or two ago! From what I understand, secondary is a good idea only if you're dry hopping/steeping adjuncts in the batch, which I'm doing with some sassafras.

I also racked in a pretty risky environment. Have been testing for contamination, and luckily nothing has materialized.

There has been a lot of discussion about this in the community, and my understanding is that unless you are adding big chunks of fruit or berries, then you are totally fine doing it in primary. Personally I have dry-hopped loads of beers in primary and they turn out delicious.

This guy does a ton of different homebrewing experiments, worth checking out: http://brulosophy.com/2014/08/12/primary-only-vs-transfer-to-secondary-exbeeriment-results/

They cultivated the yeast from the Westvleteren quad and used the same yeast strain to make Abt 12. If you don't know Westvleteren quad is considered by many to be the best beer in the world. St Bernardus may be fake trappist, but they make great beer for a more reasonable price. Rochefort 10 is my personal favorite quad, but if I want a quad I usually go for Abt 12 just because it's much more affordable.

I find Gulden Draak 9000 to be incredibly light for a quad. Still good, but not always what I want when I want a quad. You should try the regular Gulden Draak, it might suit your taste better since you seem to prefer darker belgians.

uhhhh that's a tough one. Pilseners aren't really taking off quite yet in the craft scene. I'm not on the east coast so my recommendations may be off, but check out Firestone Walker's Pivo Pils and pick up some Yuengling. Use beermenus or taphunter if necessary to find a place with some fresh-moderately fresh pivo pils.

Woops forgot to look this up before posting... Also be on the lookout for Jack's Abby beers. All of them seem to be made with lager yeast. Not sure how many of them will qualify as pils tho. Their beer is pretty highly rated on BA and those beers don't hit distro for the west coast. Probably no chance of them making their way to aus either.

I don't know if you'll be able to find in NYC but Two Roads brewing from Stratford, Connecticut has a pretty nice pilsner, although it's a bit aggressive on the hops. I have to mention it because it's the closest major brewery to me and not too far from NYC.

Brooklyn Brewery was one of the first on the craft scene and they have a variety of lagers, including a pilsner.

It's not a pilsner but Anchor Steam Beer is a pretty unique lager that's worth tasting.

Ha, what'ya know. I found one after all.

Although I'm not exactly sure if I should pop that one open just yet. According to the bottle it's been brewed late September 2015 and the reviews on RateBeer aren't that great. Maybe a couple of months in the cellar might do it good.
OTOH RateBeer says it has 4.5% and mine is from Vinmonopolet and has 6.5%.
