who cares if an IPA is old? The style was invented so that it would be drinkable after "aging" in non-ideal conditions.

Ooh is this where we rehash the "a brewery with good QA can make an IPA that tastes good for months" argument? I enjoyed that one.

 Hot TakeAll ipas are bad regardless of age If it makes you feel any better, my next stop is a bottle shop with hopefully fresh beers. Hot off the presses. So fresh you can tatse the racist/sexist remakrs the owners whispered into each bottle.

IPAs are what lovely craft brewers make to sell their crap skunky poorly-brewed beer. There's no such thing as a good IPA.

 Left to right: 1.Pilsner, Occidental Brewing Co. 2.Gegen den strom, Against The Grain Brewery & Freigest Brewery 3.Finish Him!, Level Beer 4.Infiltrator, Santiam Brewing Company 5.Trade War, Bend Brewing Co. 6.Nitro Irish Stout, Kells Brewery 3 stouts, 1 pilsner, 1 Bohemian Style Pilsner, 1 Zerbster Bitterbier. The bottle shop had some Breakside, but I'd rather go to the actual brewery soon! Wish me luck and let me know if I bought a beer thats actually 10 months old

funkybottoms posted:<in danbanana voice> let me tell you about Bell's Two Hearted... Hey, my response to this would be more like "actually that thing about the origin of IPAs is a myth." I'd also probably pull out my goto "time changes all beers, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse" rant.

I would probably also make comments about while many styles have very particular characteristics that define them, the breadth of variation in what are considered IPAs makes it pretty much impossible to apply some monolithic statement like "they're all bad."

I like to add that all sours are also bad. Trust my opinion, me, a random internet poster who drinks king kobras. I'm a somewhat of a connoisseur you see...

I apologize on the behalf of the west coasts for the west coast style ipa. Turns out my wife DOES NOT like milkshake ipas. Even after I told her many times it's not how it seems. Shes a trooper, aka stubborn, and cracked it open and gave it a swig.  Ill finish it later.

Last night had a bit of a tasting. High light was Spontan Fermier from Side Project. Low light was the Marz Blueberry Pazcki stout which had clearly gone bad in some weird way because it poured like literal syrup. It was the most viscus beer I've ever seen.

I'm going to be in New Orleans for 3-4 days next month. I know that NOLA isn't really a big 'beer town' per se, but are there any bars/breweries/beers I should be on the lookout for? We'll be staying at the edge of the quarter, probably won't have access to a car other than Uber.

Stein's Market and Deli has a great bottle selection and isn't too far of a walk from there, and Surrey's Juice bar is awesome and also nearby, not to mention Magazine Street in the Garden District is cool as hell in general. Parkway has dope po-boys and you could walk there pretty easily from the Quarter, although Domilise's are my favorite (pro tip: you will smell like a fryer when you walk out of there). as for breweries, Courtyard, Parish, and Canebreak were the cool guys a couple years back, but i'm not sure if something else has come along in the meantime.

Courtyard was the best brewery I went to in the city itself - they have a ton of guest taps in addition to their own and a really nice space of the others I went to in the city: NOLA is good if you like sours, Brieux Carre wasn't anything special St Lawrence on Peters was a really great beer bar in the French Quarter

Yeah, Courtyard is worth a visit. Keep an eye out for anything from Parish and Great Raft, Southern Prohibition does good stuff too and is easily found. I've heard NOLA Brewing has been doing good stuff too.

My love of upslope brewing has led to the questionable decision of buying batch 1000, a 17.5% bba ale, but the clowns at upslope hosed it up and accidentally made a Weird Porto

And in case it was ambiguous, do not under any circumstance buy this beer. It had almost 0 carbonation and you might as well just shell out for a good port

Current beer: Delicious. Also managed to snag up a pFriem Golden Coffee Pale. Thanks for all these recommendations.  Again, these are from stopping by local bottle shops. Still have to go to the breweries proper. ShortyMR.CAT fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Mar 29, 2019 |
