So I bought a 12-pack of Trader Joe Simpler Times Lager thinking well it's cheap but has to be drinkable right? Boy was I fucking wrong, tastes like Steel Reserve, has a metallic flavor, and honestly may kill my lust for beer and now I am involuntarily sober. I should have bought Miller High Life or Coors Banquet. Honestly Simpler Times lates like shit. Why is this still being sold?
One of my favorite beers is Miller High Life. Just recently, I found out that Miller Genuine Draft is still made, and in a lot of ways I find it to be better than High Life.
Of course, everyone knows about Miller Lite, but why is there no so-called original beer on the market called “Miller?”
Bud Light has Budweiser, Busch Light has Busch Beer, Coors Light has Coors Banquet (which is called Coors Original in some countries) but there is no original Miller? I know some refer to High Life as the original Miller, but I’ve also heard that for a while there was a beer called “Miller Beer” which has been discontinued. Can a beer historian please enlighten me to the mystery of the seemingly missing “Miller?”
hi there, I’m new to my beer game and am just looking for recommendations or direction. I love an asahi super dry and modelo especials. Not a fan of super bitter beers, or sweet. I like when they taste yeasty or go well with food.
please send any recs or advice. thank you!
I got to spend my 4th knocking out a honeydo list: Mounting TVs, cleaning the kitchen and getting the house together for my parents to come. Now I’m ready to put a couple back!
Any suggestions on good sipping Hazys, pale ales or even IPAs? I’m in northern Colorado and I love Pliny the Elder when I can find it. Anything come close to Pliny?
So from what I know this was pulled from being a nationwide release years ago and became a local release you could only get on their website. I just saw it at a local liquor store on the east coast so it appears its a national release again. I didnt see any news on it.
I unusually do it at the end of a drinking sesh. I’m on my 5th beer of the day and I’ve gotten to the point where I’d rather just drink it straight out of the bottle. I’m a little high too because of an edible I took earlier.
On a search for a beer that does not have a strong malty flavor, not grainy, not bitter, and would be a good beer for a beginner. I know mixed drinks and flavored malt drinks may be recommend instead but I would like to try beer.
I hope this doesn't get removed. I have alcohol induced pancreatitis. I spent two days in the hospital after a flare up last year. I was a home drinker who loved my 7-8% IPA's and had a few EVERY Friday night and most Saturdays. Other half, bells, founders, loved the seasonal releases too. I mostly did not drink during the week. Occasionally drank to excess but was not frequently getting drunk. Early last year I noticed a bloating feeling on the right side of my abdomen. CT/MRI scans ruled out appendicitis, my doctor thought it was another intestinal issue. I continued to drink and ignore this indication. As a teacher, I was drinking more during the summer. I figured with my mid week break my body had time to recover. I also eat a fairly healthy diet with lots of water and fresh fruit - figured I was good to go. Well, August 6th last year I woke up with intense abdominal pain that had me in a fetal position for about 30 minutes. Woke up my wife who took me to the hospital where I was eventually told I had acute pancreatitis. I wish I knew this was a possibility. Once I recovered, my gastroenterologist said it was a mild case (trust me the pain was not mild) and said I could have an occasional drink but I'm sticking to 4% beers, 1 or 2 max spacing them out much more. Also NA beers have helped scratch that itch. Once you have pancreatitis, your pancreas is much more likely to have another flare up. Officially, it's supposed to be zero alcohol for life afterwards, so I understand the risk I'm taking but I'm much more in tune with how my body feels. Listen to your body, give yourself a break.
Hi there I’ve just joined this group and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I am looking to try a beer from every country (obviously I understand that some will be beer to impossible to get like Arabian nations and micro countries) but I thought it’d give it a whirl and see if anyone knew.
For the record I am UK based and am looking for beers from any of the following countries. I’ve checked websites online like BeersforEurope, BeerHawk, Winestyle etc as well as certain local produces in the UK which specialise on certain areas, Afro-Caribbean, Australia / New a Zealand / Sahara etc. any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
Indonesia - I think the main beer is Bintang
Paraguay
Uruguay
Tanzania
Guatemala
Albania
Mongolia
Cambodia
Tunisia - the main beer is celtia I think
Luxembourg
Hey guys, trying to find some help in regards to glycol in a beer system.
We’ve bought out a restaurant business where the previous owners were meant to stay with us for a few weeks while we take over but they just left soon as they got the money so now we’re left with figuring their shit out.
We’ve got no prior experience with running a bar, there’s big tub of glycol that is connected to the system that is now overfilled (not sure if that’s actually a thing but it’s spewing out stuff from the top). I’ve been searching up how to get it replaced and stuff but nothing concrete on how to get it done.
I’ve bought some fresh propylene glycol usp but I’m not sure if I’m just meant to empty the old one and replace? Am I meant to dilute it? The old one says A-GAS MPG Concentrate which is a 20ltr but the one I bought is only a 5ltr.
Any tips or advice is welcome, thanks in advance
Wanted to get something new for my friends to try. We generally like strong stouts, stuff like Old Rasputin, Dark Star, Founders, etc. Dragons Milk is my personal favorite.
Was thinking of trying something new, ideally that's readily available in most places. Any ideas?
I've noticed that I drink beers significantly faster than any of my peers. I simply can't take small drinks unless it's the first sip or two of a brand new beer I havent tried. Does anyone else do this? I don't overindulge, I simply can't stand not drinking a beer rather quickly (within 3-5 minutes every time.)
(Edited for grammar)
I am a fan of German culture and am actually going to Germany this October on vacation and am probably popping into Munich for Oktoberfest. What are some good recommendations for someone who has really only had what my dad calls "Rocky Mountain Panther P*ss" (Coors Banquet) and i cant help but agree with him. Coors sucks.
I’ve had it in my fridge for years, do you think it’s still good to drink? It’s been cooled the entire time.
I am getting married this summer and trying to decide what beers to serve at our wedding. My fiancé and his friends all like Coors light so we will have that lol, but I was wondering what beer drinkers might enjoy at a wedding?
A lot of my family is Hispanic so we were thinking a Modelo, and maybe Pub Beer by 10 Barrel Brewing which is local to where we live. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated, we want there to be something for everyone and as a non beer drinking I have no idea what to purchase. Thank you!
I've been training as a barback at my job and today the lead bartender gave me a beer class. General information as well as tasting what we had on tap.
I've never been much of a beer guy. If I'd have to choose, Sapporo would definitely be my favorite.
The most surprising. I did not expect to like our draft IPA as much as I did. It ended up being my favorite out of all the ones we had on draft. Now, my least favorite?
Bro. That 512 pecan porter. Absolutely not. I was comically gagging at it. I recorded a voice memo so I wouldn't forget everything she was teaching me, and when trying the porter, you can hear my many exclamations of disgust. It wasn't just me. One of the servers tried it and said it tasted horrible. LOL.
The first flavor that hit me was smoke. The second? Coffee. After that? Eeeuuugghh. To be fair, I hate coffee. So that probably made this worse. I know it's brewed with chocolate malts but I did not taste any chocolate. Maybe my palate isn't refined enough.
That is a winner for the worst beer I've ever tried thus far. I really wish I could see what others see in this beer. But holy shit. I'm convinced that people who drink pecan porter must hate themselves and their lives so thoroughly that they've condemned themselves to drinking liquid ass.
Any and all discussion is welcome lol. If you have beer recs, I'm all for it.
Is it normal to have floaties in my unopened bottles of corona? Are these beers safe to drink?
