Related to the Fat Tire news, anyone try the “remastered” Sam Adams Boston Lager yet?

Huh, I hadn't even realized they'd changed it. Pretty much the only Sam Adams I buy at this point is Oktoberfest. I used to get a Winter pack but they took out all of the beers I like and made Sam Winter kinda thin and flavorless.

I only ever liked Noble Pils. That poo poo I could drink like iced tea.

Filled up some barrels with a doppelbock the other day. The beer was tasting pretty good, if a little young, so I'm excited to see how these turn out.![]()

I'm heading to Germany and Prague this October for what is essentially a food and beer drinking tour. I'm heading after Ocktoberfest as I'm not a big fan of the hustle and bustle and just want to stroll around at my own pace. Excitement about the trip has overcome me like I'm a little kid so I'm youtubing and googling like crazy. I'm pretty sure I'll have all the obvious beers and locations covered. Just wondering if there's any less obvious places or beers it'd be a travesty to miss out on that may not come up in my searches. I've got three nights in Munich and Prague and am also visiting Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Berlin and Hamburg. edit: oh and I like/am willing to try any beer if it has a solid rep. If I was to have a preference it would be towards lagers and pilsners. But like I said, any beer any place. fuckpot fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 27, 2023 |

Well it's a good thing you like lager beer because you'll be hard pressed to find anything but in those places. Honestly, there's "craft" but aside from a select few bars in Prague it's going to be disappointing. If you can make it to Bamberg from Nuremberg there's some really gorgeous old school Franconian lagers to be had, both smoked and not. Edit: Berlin is great but also expensive. But it has the brilliant option of buying 500ml bottles from a convenience store and taking in the city while drinking them.

Yeah, from your post it seems to me that you don't really know how beer works in Germany. It's basically like this: Each town or region has a brewery. Everyone in that town/region thinks that their local beer is the best in the world and won't have anything else. So, in that town you go to the Brauhaus of that brewery and have their beer, which exists in maybe 2 or 3 variations - pilsner and weizen, maybe schwarz, maybe some local variant like Kölsch or altbier. If you want anything that is from another town/region you go to a local Getränkemarkt and load up your car with crates of them for cheap. Don't expect it in any bars - they will have some nationwide boring macro stuff and the local thing only. The only exception to this is indeed some recent small-scale and expensive craft beer stuff that exists in some larger/student cities which follow more the American style of doing things. But it's more rare in Germany than other places as they already had their own beer culture. I don't know too much about Prague since I haven't been there since 2012 but I guess it's similar there, totally worth it to just drink lots of the local pils though. Back then there was already the Prague beer museum which had some different local things that were good.

Prague has U Kunštátů. It was fun but not worth planning on a trip around. Like an American craft experience.

It was funny in Amsterdam going to a craft beer bar that was 75% American stuff, and only big breweries of course. (We only went there because another bar had a challenge where if you went to the three other bars they owned and had a beer at each in one day, you got a free tshirt.)

Connecticut beer goons, Firefly Hollow is going under it appears. I wasn’t a huge fan of their stuff but it’s still sad to see a relatively long-running brewery go out.

I saw that. Not the greatest beer, but as you said it is sad that a place that had been around that long is closing. Plus, I did like their location if nothing else.

This is an exception though, American craft beer is fairly rare and expensive here except for some brands that got taken over by big companies. There's just one or two places that have a big import operation like the Beer Temple + Bierkoning. Most craft beer bars in Amsterdam focus on Dutch + Belgian with some other European stuff.

I've got three nights in Munich and Prague and am also visiting Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Berlin and Hamburg. Everything I know about Frankfurt is that it's a fairly boring city full of office buildings. You're better off going to Dusseldorf or Cologne(Koln), which both have countless bars and small breweries showing off altbier and Kolsch respectively, plus a lot of great wandering and history. Those were probably my two favorite stops during my Siebel study tour. Three nights in Munich will be fantastic, just keep in mind you're probably drinking Augustiner, Ayinger and Schneider-Weisse the whole time. Bamburg is also worth a stop if you like smoked beers and beautiful old buildings.

For the Canadians: is Collective Arts a good brewery or just good at marketing? I see them everywhere here in Alberta and yeah the labels are cool but I've yet to have anything from them that I would rate higher than 3/5

I, a non-Canadian non-American, think they've been just fine each time I've had their stuff but I've stayed away from the ridiculous pastry I think they might be known for?

We are the “beer folk” in our circle of friends so get a lot of beer themed gifts for Christmas / birthdays. I swear, every attempt to make a dessert / candy with beer just makes the dessert worse, or at best is unnoticeable. We had some fancy beer caramels las tonight and they just tasted like caramels with a bitter aftertaste. Also, not a gift, but beer ice creams tend to have the same problem. Just nasty bitterness.

One of the big commercial brewers here has released this for some reason![]() 250ml 6%ABV. Normal Victoria Bitter is 375ml and 4.9% I guess its so its the same amount of standard drinks as a normal VB? Just seems weird and pointless. VX is an apt name for all their beer generally.
