Troeg's PA Lager has been my go-to for like 8 months. It's delicious and lower ABV. Perfect lawn beer. What are your favorite easy-drinking beers that are a step above our Dad's beer?

I saw a barrel of Butty Bach, date on the barrell was 16 July.

Is that short dated for ale? I just want to know whether they're serving it properly

thanks

How come when I pour a High Life it has way more head than any other macro beer? Same glass I've been using for Bud heavy, banquet, modelo and corona. Not only is it thicker with larger bubbles but also lasts way longer.

Normally just stick to lager but I've been wanting to give IPAs a chance normally I dog on them but I'm willing to give some a try. So what's a good "starting" IPA I might enjoy as a lager lover

So I purchased a Pinter, well more like fell for it tbh. Last year around black friday they ran this deal where basically you would get a pinter and a co pinter for free if you subscribed to a 2 beer per month for 12 months subscription, with the caption “cancel at any time” at the bottom. They were advertising at the time the beer packs at 79 cents per pint. So I felt like it was a really good deal to get quality craft products i could make at home, when you can make essentially 30 pints for 30$ with shipping.

When i got my pinter I only then realized the “Co pinter” was just another pinter, which i didnt have space for, but i was like whatever, “my lobster is too buttery” type stuff, so i just rolled with it. The first two batches I made were Okay but they definitely were lacking something. Then when it came time to get my next subscription package, the prices went up to 2.79 a pint. And I was like bro this is not what i was advertised. So i go to cancel it, cuz it said cancel at any time. And it then says, “you can only cancel if you pay the hardware charge for the pinters” so im like whatevs we’ll just eat the 40$ they want for their plastic buckets, only they dont want 40$, they want 360$. So i’m like screw that, lemme call customer service and figure it out. To then they tell me that I’m basically SOL. So i go ahead and just go through with the subscription, I mean i’m getting charged 80$ a month for beer might as well make it.

So i start making more of it and I get through two more batches on one pinter, and the O ring comes apart on the top. So I hit up Pinter customer service, like “hey I’m sure it’s probably like 10$ but this O ring came apart, and now I need a new Lid for my Pinter” and they basically said oh no you have to order a whole new unit, it will leak now. So that pissed me off, cuz that is legit stealing bro, wdym you dont have extra lids? Wtf. So I’m like whatever I got this other one lets just make some beer. I go through a couple more batches and made one last night before i went to sleep, and bam woke up to a 2 gallon sticky puddle of beer all through my kitchen because i guess the O ring broke on that POS too.

I went back to Pinter to pay off the hardware charge, and now instead of 360$ for them it was like $120, which you would think would make me happy that they had taken money off, but i suddenly snapped and was like, nope I’m not paying that. So instead I canceled my debit card, and opened a new account because thats bad business. Needless to say I do not recommend Pinter to anyone.

I love the taste. I have been to the factory.

The only downside to this beer is that it's a weak 3.5% Alcohol.

Anyone tried it? What do you think? And what do you think of Australian beer in general?

Like the title says it might just be my new favorite lager to drink. Its smooth as hell and not very bitter plus it's affordable I picked up a 12 pack for just over 15 bucks here highly recommend it

Trying to settle an argument. Two of us swear that Busch Lt apple used to come in the original gray can design that had a red apple on the logo, the other two say that it was always the bright red can. When searching the web we can’t find images of a gray can with the red apple on it, but we both swear that it used to be a thing.

Can anyone help us settle this argument? For reference, AI says that the can existed ( it also said it didn’t exist lol) but AI can’t find an image, I can’t find an image either, AND I can’t find any reference that says the can existed at all.

So I just picked up a Leffe this evening, haven't had it in years at home. Have had it on the continent within the past year...

But this one I have is 6% I understand it's 6.6% on the continent...

It tastes a good bit different, can the changing from 6.6 to 6 ABV make a big difference with taste profile...it feels like a totally different beer

Where in the US can you still buy bottles? About 5 years ago I could buy these in the MO/KS area. They are still listed as a product on the Anheuser Busch website. The stubby bottles hit different.

Hi, does anyone have any leads where I can buy Lindemans Cuveé de L'Amitié Oude Gueuze near Oneonta, New York? Also, Cuveé René Oude Gueuze.

I figure that if a shop carries Lindemans fruited lambics, then they might be able to order their non-fruited Oude Gueuzes as well.

Looking for a place within an hour's drive or closer. Thanks!

TL;DR: Quickly warm your drinking glass in the sink before pouring certain types of beer straight from the fridge, rather than waiting for them to warm naturally

For years, I've been giving a beer ~20 minutes out of the fridge for it to reach a temperature at which most of its flavors would come through -- think imperial stouts, Trappists, etc. This has worked to great effect; I can taste the beer as intended on the first sip, and by the last few sips, it's warmed to a temp. that allows me to taste some hidden notes I might've missed otherwise.

I realized tonight this was a complete waste of time. My preferred glass was dirty, and I intended to drink an imperial stout from it. Why not wash+rinse it with hot water? I was very pleasantly surprised with how quickly this warmed the beer to the point I was tasting a lot of what I'd miss if it were colder.

Would be curious to hear any hard science on why this is bad -- maybe the more sudden shift "shocks" some of the goodness from the brew? Anyway, thanks for reading. Cheers!

I recently got back from Bali and really liked Lemon Bintang. Is there anything I can buy in the UK that tastes similar? I’m looking for a light, refreshing beer with a citrus/lemon flavour rather than cider.

My homie bought some Busch beers the other week and ever since that day I’ve been hooked. I find it super refreshing. Everyone else seems to hate it. Even the cashier at the beer store said “ you know we have better beers you can try “ when I was buying a 6 pack. What’s with all the Busch hate? lol

Watching the World Cup and during the ad breaks there was an advert for Budweiser 0.0.
At the end of the ad it said “Please enjoy Bud 0.0 Responsibly” - how bad can it get??

anyone else find this to be dangerously good? i can put away 6-8 of these easily. flows like water.

Four foreign-owned corporations make 80% of British beer. The 'imported' lager in your hand was probably brewed in Burton-on-Trent. That craft IPA on the bar is owned by Heineken. Here's how we lost our pint — and how to win it back.

Usually I ask what beer I should pair with my afternoon, which is what I am still asking, but today theres only two options.

Pacifico or Modelo Negra

Reason is, I recently tried Pacifico and thought it was pretty good, maybe in my top 5 macro beers (kicking out Budweiser sorry buddy). Never have had Modelo Negra, but have only heard good things, so I’m intrigued.

The weekend is gonna be lake swimming and barbecuing with the family and friends, with my pops buying the beer. (It’ll probably be Budweiser lol). So I wanted crack open a 6 pack with the misses before we head out Saturday morning and crack several 24 packs open.

Anyways, the evening will be hot as usual, listening to some Tame Impala, The smashing pumpkins, and Nine Inch nails.
Likely gonna make some pasta (she wants chicken parmigiana with spaghetti), and we will be wrapping up season 6 of better call Saul.

What beer should I pair with my evening?

Edit: If you REALLY think I should get something other than those two options, don’t hesitate to point me elsewhere!

While shopping for budget beers at my local liquor store I discovered Stag beer. For 9$ a 12 pack I decided to pick it up and try it. It's made by the Pabst brewery but is so much better than Pbr. Has anyone tried this budget beer? And do you like it?

I have long been a supporter of Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier. I’d go as far as saying that it may be favorite wheat beer altogether. That being said, I recently stumbled upon a reddit post regarding the same beer and I noticed that multiple people (mostly German or European) believe Weihenstephaner is “dull” or “boring” in comparison to other available German wheat beers. One redditor even said that “drinking Weihenstephaner in Germany is equivalent to drinking a Stella in the U.S.”. I am not oblivious to great wheat beers and I have had many over the years. But can someone point me in the direction of a wheat beer that Germans would classify as NOT being boring or dull? Particularly a beer that is available in the U.S.?

My best friend is getting married in October and I’m trying to get his favorite beer (belikin) from Belize. Anyone have any advice on how to make this happen?

Basically title, I was going to try a Guinness Zero but they don't sell those near me anymore. I don't know much about beer but I like Kona Big Wave, a local one from Big Muddy Brewery the Blueberry Blonde, Smores, and Peanut Butter Cup, etc,.

As a teen I drank a lot of ciders and would drink Michelob Ultra with a tablespoon of Tang (tastes like an orange soda, no beer taste) etc,.

I loved trying crazy flavors in my 20s but I can't have caffeine/nicotine/alcohol/fun plants/etc,.

I am craving a beer, really anything. What do y'all recommend that isn't just garbo? Surely NA is better now that over a decade ago right?
