get that OUT of my face posted:it's bad enough that Pennsylvania has the most antiquated liquor laws in america. i'd die if i were in a country where that was the law of the land That's Minnesota. Only breweries(that don't serve too much food to qualify) can fill growlers, grocery stores/gas stations can't carry anything harder than 3.2%, liquor stores close at 10pm and can't open at all on Sundays. You can still get a growler filled on Sunday though. though in a 2 hour radius there's roughly ten million breweries so I guess the solution is don't live out in the middle of loving nowhere and you don't have to worry about getting fresh beer directly from the brewers.

this is london and the year is 2016. the only beverage that exists is IPA. I go to a mcdonalds. I order a burger and a coke. the man behind the counter informs me that there is no coke. what drinks do you have? i say. he points to the soda machine behind him. the colourful logos of soft drinks have been replaced with a panoply of irony drenched microbrew labels. each with more hops and sailor tattoos than the last. I point at one. the man at the counter pours it into a paper cup. i take a sip as the man totals up my bill. the ipa tastes like cat piss and dirty coins. 'that will be £19' the man behind the counter says.

Just bitter flavor in an IPA is a waste of time but if you can get an interesting profile (like the IPAs with a grapefruit balance) it makes for a pretty pleasant mix of flavor. Issue is a lot of the generic non-local IPAs tend to NOT put anything else in it but hops. Not to mention the concept of the IPA was made because the beer doesn't go bad when shipping it to India, not as a flavor thing. It's like the ship's biscuit of beer. That being said if it's given a more complex flavor profile and not overly hoppy (aka a double or triple IPA) it can have a very unique experience, and the Washington state and Oregon IPAs are pretty good due to the hops being used so fresh from harvest. Also I often get mad at wing places that just max out the spiciness of their sauce instead of going for a unique flavor with their hottest wing sauce. BW3 realized that recently with their Blazin' when they changed up the formula to have a more smoky flavor alongside the pepper, and switched to using ghost peppers instead of the concentrated capsaicin poo poo they used before, giving it a pepper flavor profile instead of just "here have some burn with no joy of the pepper". Same goes for IPAs and bitterness. I also think habaneros taste better than jalapenos since jalapenos taste metallic and habaneros have a richer flavor.

The 'worst' beers I've had that weren't garbage nonsense were craft beers that tried to do a stout or something big and dark and malty and ended up with a coppery-tasting flat coke type of thing, which is entirely drinkable but not really delicious at all. like I have some deschutes porter right now and it's fine I guess but it's kinda lifeless and has a metallic tang to it. I probably won't buy it again

yeah what is all this referencing to coppery or metallic flavours in beer? that is some seriously flawed beer you're drinking, ipa or not lol. hops don't make that flavour. either the brewer uses garbage, untreated water, has some issues with corrosion on their equipment, or the beer is getting oxidized along the way

thomawesome posted:Cider is really regional because you need access to an orchard, basically. And they need to grow cider apples. I had some amazing craft ciders in Nashville, and some mind blowing French and Spanish farmhouse ciders. They're out there, just harder to find. So much, SO MUCH good cider in the SW of England. One of, maybe the only thing they do better than anyone else.

Garage Project's Garagista IPA is the kind you give to IPA-haters. If they don't like it they are unlikely to enjoy one at all. I am drinking one as I type this - before I move onto cheaper stuff.

Oktoberfest beers should not contain any spices since if you are getting a german one it's brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot purity laws which say that beer can only be made with water, barley, hops, and yeast

Drinking the Golden Road Wolf Pup IPA. I don't know what they did to make this taste so amazing, but it's mind blowing. Like how does it even manage to taste super good and fresh even when I buy it at my supermarket mega chain, which usually stocks 3-6 month old faded rear end IPA
