The important stuff: What beer?

knary

looking for a coal mine
What beer is going to be available at the rally? I'll reserve my opinion of midwestern beer for later in the thread. :ha

:lurk
 
You have to be kidding?
In Wisconsin...it's all good:clap

I'll be on the hunt for crisp pilsners with good bite, hoppy IPAs, sturdy chocolatey stouts, even fresh Hefeweizens or dare I even suggest a Lambic or two. Anything but stuff like the Wisconsin beer we tried last November at some supposedly famous brew place where every beer I sampled was a variation on sweetened budweiser strained through a dirty sock. Maybe I just forgot to add the cheese.

I prefer my belgians un-fruited. But I'll mostly be on the hunt for pilseners. Best, IMO, are the german - Bitburger, Radebeger or even old faithful, Spaten.
 
Ah, yes. Thank you. I'll muddle through so long as I stay away from the New Glarus Spotted Cow which is the exact beer that reminded me of unfortunately bland sweetened sweaty budweiser.
Blasphemy.
 
WOW...beer drinking has got so complicated. Used to be a bag of pork rinds, a cold Bud and a juke box would do just fine...

But I am looking forward to new brew, as long as it's cold.
 
I like beer. I have to try them to know if I like them. New Glarus? The stuff I had was OK and didn't suffer too badly from the usual over malt and over hop problem most microbreweries suffer from.

Anybody know if I can get a SNPA there? :ha
 
Ale??

Is there a possibility of a darkish hoppy ale?:drink I have no (almost none) taste.

beer is very similiar to bread...
some people like the taste of wonder bread beers that can handle 6 week ocean voyages with temperature extremes and rough handling, traveling sometimes thousands of miles before being drank.

others prefer the still warm fresh bread taste of the local bakery down the street

luckily hops are a preservative in beer, and provide something to taste after the delicate flavors have been destroyed
 
Definitely a subjective medium.
If everyone liked the same things wouldn't this be a boring world?
 
a blind taste test challenge may be in order....


that means we drink beer till we can't see so good
 
Beer snobs bore me to tears

Yikes. Beer is the workin' mans drink. :drink

Anyone pretending otherwise (AKA beer snob) is bordering on being a pretentious bore.:snore :bolt

Hey Sparky,

You diss'n the largest brewer in the world? Their world HQ is only 50 miles west of here and I'm pretty sure I saw your pic on the wall the last time we toured the brew house. Instead of "Wanted" it said "Stay away from this guy.":D :D :D :D :D

Oh, wait a minute. I misread what you wrote. You like Bud, it's only when it is ruined by being bland, sweetened and sweaty that you don't like it.:thumb
 
The perfect beer is a journey made one beer at time not a destination. I have been at it for years and hope to be for many more.
:brow

Now where did I leave that glass?

:drink

(Beer snob voice on) Sierra Nevada? Formulaic flavor profile of the brewing program at UC Davis! Can't we look for something more.....original? :hungover (pinky finger raised slightly as I sniff into the air)

This would be you boring yourself? :brad

I'm not a beer snob. I just have this bad habit of wanting to put things in my mouth that don't taste bad.
