oh wait you had one made.

i need to try this

Yeah, I actually mixed it myself from a recipe. Going to try something similar tonight actually. Since I liked it so well and all.

But for reference it was Bouy Beer IPA with some scratch made sparkling lemonade I threw together from lemon la croix, simple syrup, and lemon juice.

Is this the one with tomato juice? Because if it is I have been thinking about it just based on how much I liked the shandy.

Yes. You want a nice crisp Mexican lager (I prefer Pacifico or Modelo, but Corona will do). Tomato juice/V8, a HEALTHY dose of your favorite hot sauce, squeeze of lime, salt the rim if you want, BOOM you’re in refreshment town.

I have probably 10-20 of these to share with you weirdos!!!!!!!!!!

This Matsu-Rika by JA-PAS, a dark lager with jasmine flowers. Delicious, smooth, great malt and body. Jasmine adds a little to the mix in the right way. Solid after taste you'd expect from a dark lager. Gonna try to hunt down more beers from this place, apparently from Chicago!

NA beer that had a thing that said first pack's on us! $8.99 rebate. Sure, alright! It's like NA Heineken without the skunky after taste. Like a 6 or a 7 out of 10.

Went to Grand Trunk Pub and Detroit Beer Exchange after work on Wednesday, it was very fun and nice. Here are the Grand Trunk beers, a Brew Detroit Cerveza Delray Oscura and a Mountain Town Brewing Train Wreck red ale! The Mountain Town was a really good heavy red ale, a bit more bitter than I like but hoo boy did it get me goin.



At Detroit Beer Exchange, I had a Good Humans by Short's Brewing, which is my hands down favorite brown ale (it's a double brown). Also had a Freedom Lemonade cuz it was cheap.




Detroit Beer Exchange is a "stock market" style beer place, so it's loving weird.

Here is the craziest beer that I got at Movement! They didn't really have any craft beers, so I mostly drank vodka+red bull when I was drinking that weekend. But in this shot, I am consuming a "Budweiser Freedom Edition" while smoking a free pre-rolled joint that was given to me at the festival. Neat, huh?

I bought these last week, had two last night because I spilled half of my first while watering the gardens. It tastes like a Heineken without that extremely bitter taste and finish. I know Heine's are notorious for being skunked, but even fresh Heineken has this strong bitter aftertaste for me. Clausthaler does not, but still has that delicious lager body. These are going into the "sometimes" category of my NA experiment.

For the record, O'Douls is still my favorite NA beer so far. Everything else is great for breaking up the monotony, but O'Douls mimics a lawnmowing beer so perfectly it's hard to not acknowledge.

Drinking a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, a beer which I have not bought a six pack of in at least 20 years.

It’s sweeter than I remember, but quite tasty.

I tried a new beer last night. I bought four beers from the fancy store and they were all really good in their own way. Here's the Guava Beer




Tasted exactly as you'd expect! I loved it, was very crisp and refreshing while cold, and opened up a bit flavor wise once it warmed up, but was still super drinkable. Favorite type of sour is one that I can drink at my own pace, sometimes they get real weird once they warm up.

That stuff (single version of Heady Topper) is good as hell. Nice find. I still have a couple 4-packs of Heady from earlier this year and it makes me happy. Hell, it’s what got me to lift my blanket ban on IPAs after I got tired of trying super bitter trash with all the subtlety of crushed aspirin. I actually like the really floral and hazy NEIPA stuff. Special recognition to the folks at Old Nation for M-43 and Boss Tweed and Waredaca (brewery and horse farm) for their, “Morgan.”

8 Wired Horseshoe Brown Ale. Its an American Brown ale. Same carbonation as a proper Brown Ale, but then slightly more roasty and darker malt character, and then far too many hops use. Its not bad.

I tried one last night and I'll say the same thing about it as I did about Heady Topper:

It's a very solid IPA, nothing more. Have yet to understand why HT was one of the original "holy grail" beers.

wait it counts as an NEIPA? lol what the gently caress happened to that style (lactose happened to that style, I know)

Honestly I was comparing it to normal IPAs - the whole "drink from the can only" bit means I've never actually seen it poured out and didn't realize it was even unfiltered :v:

Billy Ray Blowjob posted:

to be fair I didn't say it sucks, I think they're great beers, just not something I would drive several hours to wait in line for, but "at the time 99.9% of other IPAs were 100+ IBU" or something along those lines is valid I think

Dainton - Burnout Black IPA. Its good and thats because it is well balanced. Big black dark roasted malts, and a big - not fruity or resinous - hop bitterness.

I like the lower IBUs and floral feel. The lactose IPAs aren’t for me. First time I had HT was in the age of high-IBU stuff and I received the can as a thank you for setting up someone’s turntable. I’d heard of it but never seen it and it seemed crazy to not at least try it (a bit poured into a glass so I could give the remainder to a friend who liked IPAs.) It was a radical departure from any IPAs I’d ever choked on before.
