Maggie’s The Official Beer Snob Thread

[Alpine 338]

back in the day. i am not sure if it was more because of the unique top, or the taste.

I had some last year, and it didn't taste as good as I remembered.

Probably brewed by another company now? For example, I used to like Rolling Rock and Becks, and AB has ruined those two since they bought them out and moved production to St Louis.

right after our 3 mile run, we can split a 1/2 cord of wood each. Splitting maul, no machines

Last one to finish both has to drink the other's beer for a year!

My everyday beer is Yuengling Lager for reference. These are some beers that have caught my attention recently. Two are local to NC and one is very limited distribution to Wisconsin.

Gulden Draak is a dang fine beer. I love some Belgian strong ales.

But tonight, I'm working with this. It's low gravity (only 5%), but it is absolutely top shelf.

i prefer 5% budweiser for a session beer (more than a few).
what kind of beer does your husband like?

Budweiser is good stuff

No it's not.

many will scoff, but they might not understand how hard it is to make millions of bottles taste exactly the same every time.
i liked michelob back in the 80s, when henry weinhard's or lowenbrau were more popular.

40% water,
30% horse urine,
20% corn,
10% rice,
Doesn't seem that hard.

Tell ya what.....I’ll drink 2 IPAs for the same intoxication level that it takes 10 Coors or Budweiser’s to accomplish. Drinking IPAs has a much better cost:intoxicating ratio than buying a case of Coors, ya damn Rocky Mountain hipster

 

[db2000]

Just arrived

 

[Odysseus1911]

I picked this to go with tonight's Christmas dinner of prime rib (pics in the Nom Nom Nom thread). Fairly appropriate as Chimay Grande Reserve (blue) originally debuted in 1948 as their "Noel Speciale" or Christmas special release. It was such a big hit they began year-round availability in the 1980s.

 

[FWoo45]

Last night was my first time trying it. Good but I’m not going to order a case.

Tonight.

This I’ll have to be careful with. Damn good.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Just had this the other day and liked it a lot

 

[Odysseus1911]

I really like this for an easy holiday sipper. Only 6% but it's a 19 oz. I really just like drinking these from the bottle.

@FWoo45
Dragons Milk+11% I'm all in......... Imagine what it took to milk that dragon!!!

 

[XTREM HTR16]

Nice Costco find today

 

[FWoo45]

Had a good time at my aunt’s Xmas party/greasy gringo enchilada feed. Here is the the line up for for the evening. Just popped the KBS and it’s probably my favorite of the week.

 

[Beefmanne]

Quality cattle checking beer.

 

[FWoo45]

Alright, but I really don’t see the hype.

Do you find the Stone beers from costco are always a little more fizzy and make a little mess when you pop a top?
Have had a few cases do this, and my friend has too.

Buy stone at local liquor store and all is good.


Drinks the same and $26/24 is nicer than $10-11/6 at the local store.

Honky Tonk makes a blueberry sour that is pretty good too.

Absolute truth. But I"ll drink my 30 pack over the day and still be able to do the yard and work on cars. You really only have to do your hair and polish your Chippewas, so the easy drunk is a time saver. I got work to do man.

Belgians are where it’s at.

I milked the Dragon the last 2 nights, this stuff is so good it's scary........

That’s some potent stuff! At 15.3% I bet you can taste the alcohol.

Had a Stone beer that was whiskey barrel aged and something over 10% and the taste of the alcohol was a huge turn off.

Trying that one tomorrow. Had the other one but no overbearing alcohol. These are really good.

 

[Halfnutz]

Stone used to be one of my favorite breweries. Then they just started doing weird over the top shit.
They still have some great beers but I'm leary of anything new.

 

[KZP]

Maybe it's the nature of barrel aged beer, but I've found Dragons Milk taste can vary between batches. Some months of the year it tasted meh, other times it was great. So FYI if you notice it's "off" when you get another box

Interesting. I was going to get a combo pack last weekend. Newsom’s nazis yelled at me so BevMo is off my list. Got around to trying the low(er) octane version tonight. Not as good as the high test but maybe it’s just the batch?

I think the Dragon's Milk white is just meh overall. Not worth the premium price tag.

I paid $2 per for a sixer. Done worse but the regular is definitely better and more bang for your buck. I’m hoping the batch of each I’ve tried aren’t the best and I’m staring crap in the face for the next ones.

Absolute best beer ever made and among the most rare to find. End thread

OMG, I just tried Pliny the Elder this evening. Wow.

Turns out it’s delicious. No high alcohol flavor IMO.

Straight out of the tap! Merry Christmas

 

[Odysseus1911]

This Wee Heavy is delicious. Lots of dried fruit flavors, mmmmmmm. Merry Christmas!

 

[Odysseus1911]

Doing a Founders barrel-aged flight with me wife.

You've all seen KBS before -which is a really good imperial stout, as you know. But this imperial brown ale is amazing! Smells of maple syrup and cocoa. Taste is vanilla and bourbon up front, with chocolate. . lots of chocolate, and then a very subtle coffee note. 11.1%, abv. So good it needs it's own picture:

 

[Bigfatcock]

It’s like a contest of who can pick the stupidest name for their beverage. ZCO won the stupidest name for a scope contest, and I wonder who will win for beer?
