Mal Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Im starting to fucking hate beer. Mostly craft shit. They are getting ridiculous with the labels they put upon them. This past week we had a "summer ale" and a "4 grain breakfast beer" on tap. What the fuck does that even mean? Fuck you. Just give them a try and pin down their style. The summer ale explain itself. It should be nice and refreshing for well, the summer. A lot of breweries has something like that. Now the 4 grain breakfast beer... yeah, bad label (Never just call it beer). I only ever heard of Founder's Breakfast Stout. I'm assuming its something that approached that. Just take joy in the fact that its not a Rouge beer. Now they pull some weird and overpriced shit.

Mal Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 It would also be awesome for just sending the damn stuff as citizens. As of right now you'll have to be a business to send it legally. Not like a lot of people care anyways though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Not too sure where to put this but... http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-15/cal-poly-brings-back-freshman-pledging-after-lobbying.html Greek Life and alcohol are some big topics with my university and for other universities as well. I feel that you really can't stop people from drinking. Combine that with the mystification of alcohol to teens and you get the stuff that went and are going down. I honestly believe it kind of points all the way back to the 21 legal age to drink and alcohol being so taboo... until you are 21 that is. So no, nothing that my or any group of university can do will affect underage drinking. Our society got to demystify it. /getsoffsoapbox Also me getting into alcohol is perhaps the worst financial thing I have done to myself. So kiddies, be careful of your wallets. If I can pay for at least two rent with utilities, internet and TV OR at least 1/10 of my student loans with the amount I've spent on alcohol... yeah, it is kind of bad. At least with games and my computer I can reuse and replay. Alcohol adds nothing but a beer belly. So respect it, understand it and beware of it. So happy that I'm not genetically prone to alcoholism... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) America's favourite beers by state. Not being American I don't know how this fits with what you'd expect, but from here I'm surprised it is mostly light beers. I don't think they're popular at all in the UK.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I had no idea Blue Moon was so popular. Of course I live in a Bud Light state. It's a fake micro-brew made by a macro-brewery. It really shouldn't be surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah we dont even carry Blue Moon here at the bar I work at and people dont usually ask for it. Yet we do carry all the other "big" beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRevanchist Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Me and Billy Dee agree. But, seriously. I know nothing about beer. I know wine coolers and fuzzy navels and midori sours and some wines. I'd probably buy Blue Moon or Corona, as I assume those are decent selections? Help a brutha out!

Mal Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 For company...? Maybe Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which you can get it for about $1 per bottle (24 pack). Sam Adams variety pack might work too. Of course, if money isn't much of an issue you can get the more expensive stuff. There is also this: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style_pairings/19 and I do have a book (Tasting Beer). In general, delicate beer with delicate food, strong beers with strong food. Also don't forget about contrast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I wonder what UK beers would be by county in UK. I know the map will likely have much more colour variance than blue(in fact fosters is the only one I can think of that's blue), and probably reassuringly expensive or the best beer map in the world.

As long as foster's doesn't make the list you have a shot. Though I'd say it would be hard to beat Belgium or Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I suppose a liquor store is just that in NYC. No beers. I'm trying to a lightning run through stuff I can't get easily in California. I think I'll need to go further than one mile out from my place since I doubt the corner stores will have stuff that I'm looking for.

Mal Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Craft beers mainly. I just want a place to browse through. I know there is a Trader's Joes but that is out there across town. A better Google search should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Try the West Side Market on 98th and Broadway or thereabouts. Yeah, wrong side of town, but it has some good stuff, I hear. Used to live up there and the bodegas in the 90's on the UWS have had surprisingly good beers. Usually imports rather than craft, though.

Mal Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 http://www.beeroftomorrow.com/calories-in-craft-beer/ To be honest, I haven't been looking hard but it is nice to finally get some numbers now. Rough numbers but they kind of fall in the range that I was expecting. ~225 C for 12 oz and ~500 C for a 22oz for the beers I usually drink. Bare minimum is ~150 C. I sometimes leave out the carbs from my dinner and seems like it made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
