Beer Thread

I might've had a taste of beer once or twice, but I really didn't start drinking it until a year or two ago.

I'm a big fan of belgian beers, and lighter beers for the summer. Although I did buy a Konig Ludwig Weissbier when I went on vacation a little while back, and it was rad; I hope they sell it around here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've even had beer-haters convert because of Leffe.

I'll definitely look out for that. I'm also partial to Kriek:



..but most of the places near me only sell Lindermans' kriek which I hear is basically alcopop.

Also a big fan of saison.



A lot of microbreweries do belgian-inspired brews, and although I haven't had a saison inspired beer like Dupont (haven't tried other belgian breweries yet) Heavy Seas does a good variation.



As for non-belgians, I've been trying to get back into IPAs. I've been burned pretty badly by a beer I drank when I first started out (only a few years ago, mind) but I think I'm over that for the most part. Don't remember what it was, just that it was on sale for $2 a bottle.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I need Boot Brew in my life. Link to online store plox

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

fuckin' thank you

I had that once with dinner because it was on special, but I couldn't remember the exact name. Other than it was dogfishhead and it was a stout (they have like 50). But I'm pretty sure that was the one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I had a rauchbier last night. I am pumped about it. It's perfect for autumn! You know, all them leaf bonfires, having fires in your fireplaces, it's a bit colder so you want something heavier for your beer...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh yeah, Deni was a huge fan of chocolate stouts some time back. Now's getting to be the time of the year for it too...

big beers.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm not from the Florida area so I can't recommend any good local stuff. Obviously you're trying to stay away from the Millers, the Buschs, the Coronas... Dogfishhead is available everywhere. Rogue is another good brand, their Hazelnut Brown Nectar is one of my favorites. Bells is a large brewery from my area that might sell down there. Oberon is their summer brew and it's just now becoming available, and you should probably be able to get Two-Hearted Ale (hoppy) or Hopslam (hoppier) still.

FELIPE NO

To be honest with you Rychord, Orlando, Florida is kind of a shit place to be if you want to spend your time trying interesting local beers. Best bet though is to head here.

Oh. I didn't know where Rychord was from.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
