Thank you, totally agree on this. Give me a nice kosch or something else interesting

I feel it's almost time to brew Altbier again. It will be good at the start of winter.

There is a local brewery here in Alabama that makes a beer called “Sour-Pash”. Does it have a lot of alcohol? No. Hops? No. Is it fucking delicious and refreshing? You god damn right.

I love this beer, and it’s always sold out when I go to buy it.

There is an entire family of beers called "sours." They're funky AF. Pretty weird (but I've had good ones).

Dunno if that's what yours was, but might be something to look into if it is and you like that style.

Sour beers are where it's at

[–] Banda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Breweries are everywhere now but when I go and there isn’t even one sour on the list I get really disappointed.

I had the best sour a few weekends ago in NH. I really wish there was a wider variety around. They’re always my favorite. Love a good stout too.

So many breweries half ass a sour, Victory-style.

Ugh same here, every selection is half IPAs. Not a fan myself but the history behind the style is my favorite beer "origin story". It would help if more breweries listed the hops used. To me that's the key to knowing if I'll like it

Help, I'm stuck in a boring-ass red state so even some IPAs would be an IMPROVEMENT. Nothing but "Natural Light" here now that Bud Light got cancelled.

I agree. Shitty IPAs are shitty, but I guess that is by definition.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I feel you.

I brew my own beer just have a decent Munich style lager.

Never had a beer I liked, and EVERY SINGLE TIME a friend will tell me what they like is actually good "you can't even taste the beer flavor, just the blank" and every single time, it tastes like beer with no hint of the blank.

[–] CoderKat@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Same. I gave up on beers years ago. I accept it's not worth my money anymore just in hopes of figuring out what people like about it. I still enjoy some wines (though relatively few and I wouldn't consider it an amazing taste). Mixed drinks are really where it's at. Can't go wrong with spiced rum and diet coke! There's also so many very delicious sugary mixed drinks, but I try to minimize those because it'd take like 500+ calories to get a buzz.

Have you tried krieks, sours or lambics?

I did a Sweet 16 bracket elimination contest for regional IPAs a few years back just to force myself to identify the 'good' ones and eliminate bad ones. Even after doing that, I do a little dance any time there's something else available.

You from the states? Over here in Germany I can get (in a 5 km radius):

  • Pilsener
  • Hefeweizen
  • Schwarzbier
  • Porter
  • Kölsch
  • Lager
  • Export
  • Bock
  • Helles
  • Alt
  • Kellerbier
  • Landbier
  • IPA
  • Stout
  • Red Ale
  • Brown Ale
  • dubbel/trippel/quadruppel
  • ...
[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We can get almost all of those here, too, though the traditional German ones seem to be less common. What bothers me is that IPA, fine brews, have been a freaking obsession here for about 10 years, and it's driving me nuts. It's at the point where one says "I want a craft beer" and they list 10 IPA, one lager, one amber ale, and Guinness.

C'mon people, take your heads out of your asses and look around!

Looking at you New Belgium. How many damn IPA's do you need? "Cigarette butts in a can" all taste the same.

I've switched back to regular old boring Heineken. Gimme something crispy and watery that won't weigh me down at 10am.

Me, who drinks an imperial IPA: Umm, yeah, totally annoying that there aren’t more… pilsners?
