Snack Bitch posted:2 - smoked beers Thems fightin' words! I feel like 3.5 for average beers is too high. I rate average at 2.5 with anything below that as bad or a barley wine, and anything above as good or great.

Ypu probably buy beer that's better than average on average, so it makes sense for the average to be higher than the actual numeric average.

gently caress untappd btw- when the former Answer brewer told one of the founders that all the Andall stuff is beer cocktails, which are forbidden per their terms of service, the dude literally shrugged and said, "they get a lot of check-ins" sorry/not sorry if i've posted that before

Drank beer. Great floral hoppy notes with an amazing finish. I can't believe beer like this is being produced here. I could even taste the region the hops and malts hailed from. Truly wonderful. rated 2.85/5.00

Truly wonderful. Beer was delicious. Crisp, hoppy, like drinking sunshine on the first warm day of spring. My desert island beer. Taproom is awful though. When I was there last Friday at 7 pm I asked for samples of all 17 beers one at a time and then I forgot which ones I liked so I asked for a second taste of a few and they CHARGED me for a half pour! Uh excuse me it’s called a sample for a reason? Will NOT be going back! rated 0.75/5.00

Seeing a lot of broken people trying to drag everyone down to their level of misery on this page. I used to use Untappd religiously but stopped about a year ago after checking in was taking too long when trying deliciousness with my buddies. Beer is good, barleywines are good, barrel aging can be good, rauchbiers can be good. gently caress yo' lager tho.

danbanana posted:When I was younger and less sophisticated, this was a take I agreed with. I'm almost having the opposite experience. Loved my first smoked beer not too long after I could legally drink, and I've just been chasing the high of that taste since then. I think I've gotten too used to stuff so I guess at the time it overwhelmed my inexperienced taste buds and now I'll never recapture that sensation.

Heh, Founders is dropping out of the Michigan Brewer's Guild festival in Detroit this weekend. At least one other brewery had already said they would not attend as long as Founders was present. I hope they end up getting kicked out of the Guild considering they are no longer Michigan-owned.

Funkybottoms, The gently caress Bois I occasionally drink with will not shut the gently caress up about answer. And while I do enjoy some of their creations, every time they come up I insist it's not beer and no one wants to listen. Do you have anymore or recent hard evidence so I can shut them up?

Captain Duvel posted:Funkybottoms, I know you didn't direct this at me but I did briefly work there. I'd see kegs of berliner weiss/gose/stout that weren't on Answer or Mekong's menus coming in all the time. Anderson Valley Holy Gose, Founders Breakfast/Imperial Stout, this berliner from some no-name contract brewer in VA, stuff like that. I'd like to be able to say that any Answer employee would be able to tell you what the base beers are, but training and management were absolute dogshit during the time I was there and I don't expect that they've improved. Stories I've heard of people asking and their server/bartender not knowing and having to ask would seem to corroborate this. So either they've changed and they're running that place well from a FOH perspective (doubtful) or they're still not explicitly telling their staff what's up, which they really should, morally speaking.

not gonna soapbox too hard on the Answer again- i have many paragraphs in me and am friends with their original brewer, upon whom much of their reputation is built- but, yeah, integrity and ABC laws are regularly sacrificed at the altar of personality. buy the cheapest, most sugary purees and flavor syrups you can find and add them to whatever beer you like- now you've got an Andall beer! they're located in a little strip mall and bought the space next to them in order to "expand the brewery," but last time i was over there it was full of literally hundreds of kegs of future Andall kegs sitting out warm- pallets of FBS, AV Gose, Avery Jacob's, etc. as prayer group pointed out, it is actually a very poorly-run business and they lose tons of money on these things, but stroking some shitlord's ego by naming a loving Andall after them <coughkromerjuicecough> keeps people coming back, i guess.
