I knew I had found my people when I posted my favorite night cap: Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier- Märzen. A lot of you were curious on a 3rd photo I attached of this beauty!!! I would rate this a tad higher than the Märzen.

This is the Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel - Rotbier
The smokiness is jusst right with the sweetness. I find that the Märzen gets too sweet when it sits a min or two longer.

This one is beautiful smoke heaven and is making me ready for fall! 🍻🍂

Hello! I'm getting married in Chicago in September and am starting the process of selecting beers.

We're wanting to have all the beer selections be Chicago/Midwestern focused or brewed, and the plan is to have 3 options in total. I'm originally from Chicago but I now live in the PNW so it's been a while since I've been able to drink a lot of Chicago/Midwestern beers. So I am soliciting all of your advice!! We're going to be ordering from Garfield's since they let you return anything you don't drink and our venue has worked with them before.

I'm thinking one sort of more 'basic' neutral option, a darker option, and then a brighter more fun and maybe hoppy option. Here are my current considerations for each:

More neutral:

• Goose Island 312
• Revolution Pilsner

Darker:

• Great Lakes Eliot Ness Amber Lager
• Bell's American Amber Ale

More fun/hoppy:

• Half Acre Waybird IPA
• Revolution Hazy Hero
• Revolution X Hero Juicy Rush IPA

I would LOVE to hear all your thoughts on best combos and if you've recently had any of these beers and also if you have any other suggestions! Most of our crowd is not from the Midwest so I really want to be able to showcase how great our beers can be 😄 thank you!!!

Does anyone remember the contest Samuel Adams had every year where they would allow home brewers to send in samples of their special brews to enter a contest and the top three home brewers who would win,would get a limited edition of their beer released.I miss it and wish they could start the contest up again.

The film takes place in Massachusetts and one of the characters, Ransom, is shown to have growlers on display in his living room. Prior to the release of the film, MA law required breweries to only fill growlers with their own branding, so many beer fans had a large collection of growlers, some of which they would often display. Ransom is also seen drinking a Cisco, which isn't craft, but it does indicate he's not a macro guy. Fun little local detail that most people would have no context for.

Hi everyone,

My name is Christian, and I’ve spent a number of years working in the brewing industry in Canada.

Through conversations with brewery owners and taproom managers, I’ve realized many of us are juggling multiple systems, spreadsheets, and manual processes just to run day-to-day operations.

I’m conducting independent industry research to better understand the biggest operational challenges facing breweries today. The results will help identify trends across the industry and inform future tools designed specifically for breweries.

The survey takes about 5 minutes, and I’d really appreciate your input if you work in a brewery, brewpub, or taproom.

I’m not selling anything—I’m genuinely trying to understand what’s working, what’s frustrating, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement exist.
I’d also love to hear your thoughts in the comments:
What’s one operational task you wish took half the time it currently does?

Thanks in advance for helping out!

More than a month ago I ask on here for craft beer recommandation I could buy in northen Portugal, and as a flip my vacation picture i remember that I forgot to post, so here it is if anybody would be interested to see some local craft beers.

There is various style and I didnt had many pics so feel free to ask more information of each can you see

Celebrating with a Parish DDH Envie.

Was very excited to try this, knowing that Cellarmaker puts out a great product and I felt this could be really good.

It was a solid beer but not great. Now having had treehouse maybe there was some higher expectations than necessary, which will be addressed tonight after I have another one.

Good, just not at the level of their usual deliciousness. IMHO.

Stay safe and stay thirty my friends.

Update - having the second (and last one) right now, given that I lowered expectations, it is a better beer that I initially thought. But not close to the implied play on Treehouse.

Publix has these BOGO for $12 each btw but go off Walmart clearance

Edit: the steal was sarcasm, this beer is not worth the sticker price

Decided to drink some Belgian instead.

Lovely little selection of excellent English breweries
