Re: Let's talk good beer
my go to beer - "go to" meaning I get to drink a sixer in one night = a west coast ipa or juicy pale ale.
if I only get to drink 1 or 2 beers that night = BA stout ---------------- Tavour - i signed up for their mailing list a few years ago, lots of beers from other parts of the country that I never heard of and had to research. I get overwhelmed with all the different beers and breweries. Monument City american nut brown ale - real nice, balanced malt sweetness to it and thicker than you would think in a good way, 6% abv .. i like getting a few sixers during the winter months .. the beer farts the next morning though ... Burley lost ipa - good, would buy again RAR stunts - sour/wild ale ... not to my liking. im trying to find an affordable always available sour as my go to but it seems with sours i only really like the individual bottles from wicked weed or someone more expensive |

Re: Let's talk good beer
Love me some Hopslam.
Chico, if memory serves me correctly, you're near Richmond right? Ever make it over to The Veil? If you love Hopslam, The Veil (and their fanbois are nuts) makes some of the best IPAs in country. The Veil and Triple Crossing absolutely fucking kill it in RVA.

The hipster fanboys of veil are super annoying agree for sure but they do a good job. Final Gravity is probably my favorite destination these days...well when covid is over. The Stone brewery here is phenomenal as well. Final Gravity Stone Brewery Hardywood (city location) Ardent Triple Cossing (East side location) The Veil These are my spots

Ohhhhhhh shit...you can tell covid has fucked up my brewery game, as I don’t really go a lot since the outbreak. How could I fucking forget The Answer brewery and brewpub.. A top 3 go to...good food and great beer.

Stone is definitely one of our stops and right now the only breweries we're comfortable going to are 1) in HUGE warehouse styles or 2) heated and outside. Summer we were totally fine going to places because we knew we could sit outside. Winter making it a LOT harder now. Strangeways is also our jam. They don't make the best beer in town, but there's something to be said for getting a flight of twelve.  They HAVE upped their game however. Murder Hornet is one of their best IPAs they've put out. Mostly my wife and I don't have a true "preference" on beer, but I tend to migrate to DIPAs/IPAs and she migrates to sours mostly. I am getting over the IPA craze a bit. These douches walk into a place and are like, "Bruuuuuh, what's your haziest IPA?" I'm like, do you just want your palette blown out by hops for hops sake? The Veil has been notorious for that recently (at least for us). I bought their dry hopped pilsner because that's a style ranking higher and higher for me. Was almost undrinkable because of how bitter it was. Zero balance.

Re: Let's talk good beer
Local craft store had surprise 3 Floyds in stock, one time only. They ran out of zombiedust before I got there. dont think they put a limit so im guessing some asshole just bought out whatever they had
lazer snake ipa, barbarian haze pale, alpha king pale and dreadnaught dipa next level beers and not overly expensive, like $12 to $16 for each. singelcut, cushwa etc are starting to charge $18 plus for their 4 packs Maryland has great beers but I do wish we got at least one of the big guys from RR, 3 floyds, toppling, lawsons, tree house, hill farmstead |

https://www.3floyds.com/distribution/ 2021>2020 edit - 3 floyds was smart, the beer i bought was like a week old. Surly dumped a ton of palletes on Perfect Pour about 6 months ago but the pale ale was like 9 months old at that time and its just sitting there for months later growing dust Last edited by SunnySide; 03-11-2021 at 11:15 AM. |

The presence of malt was nice, good beer .. i dont know how to say this but Id take monument citys 51 rye over it in terms of everyday regular drinking beer. Makes me appreciate Other Half, Singlecut and some other breweries that perhaps Im not missing out .. theres great beer evyerwhere |

Coors Light. Every once in a while, you just need something nice and simple (more simple than nice).

Re: Let's talk good beer
Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet Double IPA
1st time having it as I type this. It's 8% and doesn't taste like it. These are dangerously good.
