I’ve been making beer/cider for around six years. I enjoy creating my own recipes and also trying to clone other good beers. Nice creative hobby, I always have something around the house and enjoy giving it away as gifts etc. Thanks for listening

Even if I like craft beer, I still think the craft beer industry in Oregon is running out of ideas (and it is progressively being bought up by InBev or straight out going out of business).

Also the “IPA” thing is humorous consider how broad of a category pale ales are at this point.

in washington bars and breweries are under different sets of alcohol laws so if you go to a brewery you can enjoy the added experience of drinking around literal children.

Every brewery I've been to is basically just a Chili's that makes their own beer. A good neighborhood dive bar, though, now that's a treat. You can find people to hook up with who aren't your coworkers and you can roll the dice and risk food poisoning on the fajitas the dunk guy is cooking on a grill outside the bar.

beer is complicated. one time i made ginger mead it was easy and came out very very well

took some champagne yeast, the crystallized bottom of a gallon of honey already in a #2 bottle, brewed some tea with fresh ginger and poured it in with water... shook it up every day, made sure the lid hadnt closed quite all the way. it was pretty stable temperature and cool in the corner of my room most of the time.

i was shocked tbh

i tried making some homebrew ginger beer with a friend once and when the process was over it was so strong the hydrometer backflipped out of the carboy and the tiniest sip cause my friend to explode leaving only his smoking boots behind.

we still bottled it and polished off the lot in less than a week though it was good as gently caress.

Live Oak is fine but Adelbert's is very loving good Belgian beer and Jester King is the best pretentious beer to share with assholes who unironically use the term "terroir" and feel superior to other craft beer nerds.

anyone ever have a nigerian beer? they have their own licensing for guiness, and in each of their breweries (the biggest are star and gulder) they add more malt. everything is overmalted and sweet. it's really unique and also awful

In Belize beer is nationalized but not really because they just banned all imports and then only let one extremely wealthy that owns all the politicians operate the nation's brewery. Their chocolate lager is very good though.

It's a rich white frat boy thing, that's why they always give their beers ironic monkey cheese names like "IPA up yo rear end" and poo poo like that. It's kind of like how baby boomers all dream of owning a vineyard when they retire. They get the seed money from their rich parents or just pool their rich people money together with their friends. Sometimes snobby gentrified apartments will have a little brewery at the complex and require you to pitch in through the lease and in return you get an allowance of beer. It's the just the latest rich people trend.

I’d be legit interested if legal weed has led to a decline in alcohol consumption. idk if there’s any data on that

It's probably not. Beer consumption is going down because baby boomers and Gen Xers are getting too old/sick/dead to keep up their 12-pack of Bud Light a day habit.

I've made a couple ginger meads over the years. like, the hard way, not ghetto style. they're good but seriously you have to wait at least 2 years or they taste terrible. after a couple years though, boy howdy
