Re: Let's talk good beer
Stout season (if there even is one nowadays) has been disappointing so far. Keep buying and trying new stouts and imperial brown ales etc and everything has been disappointing so far.

Basically only drink pale ales and IPAs nowadays. Not including the occasional Coors Light/Miller Lite's.

Re: Let's talk good beer
Picked up some Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, two things this year it appears to be in cans only, and it's now called Celebration Fresh Hop IPA. Regardless of the changes this year's batch is super delicious.

Re: Let's talk good beer
You can't find new beers you might love without having some new ones you hate.
I'm drinking a hate beer right now. I had the 1st can, didn't like it. So the next 2 I had were some stragglers I had leftover. Figured after 3, the taste buds would be a little dampened. I was incorrect. It's still gross.

Re: Let's talk good beer
Noticed Monument City stopped stamping the bottom of their cans with the production date for a few months now. I stopped buying their ipas and pales, still getting their woodstove stout.
This weekend I bought a sixer of their ipa 51 rye to give it a go and it was bad. It turned, it was stale and malty. So ive had a few and sent them an email and the responded back that their "date coder" should be active and will pass on to shipping. Dude ... none of your cans have had dates for months .. there is no way this wasnt an intentional decision .. theres no way you couldnt have noticed. Odd response. Some breweries like 15 years ago you had to go to their website and plug in some batch info for dates .. im assuming they arent talking about this though. |

I don't pretend to know why they aren't .If they aren't a classified "micro brewer" (gallons brewed) they might not have to. Many brewers are having a hard time getting packaging it's why almost all are in cans. A brand I like is not pasturized and so they can only sell with in a certain radius of where it's brewed.

Re: Let's talk good beer
Im gonna be outta this thread (not that i was a heavy contributor but i dabbled) for the foreseeable future. Man those 4 packs are just a super big expense. I found myself thinking I was being frugal by grabbing the head high for like 15-16 bucks. Since the new year I have only purchased 15-18-20 packs of goose island or founders - whatever kind of ipa brewer makes em. Get that for pretty much the price of a four pack of dank shit. Ill treat myself or get something new if im out but home consumption is going to be a budget saver this year.

That lasted 3 15 packs. Man I couldn’t sacrifice for money when it came to beer. Got to the point I didn’t even want one, and that’s when I knew I had a problem. This is solid. ![]() Local brewery here in Dirty Jersey. |

Re: Let's talk good beer
Taking out my freezer chilled mason jar about to pour me Bells Hopslam. Another year, another Hopslam season. Thankfully some things never change

Re: Let's talk good beer
I'm giving up alcohol, chips, and pasta for lent, so I was sucking beers down last night like they were the last ones I'll ever have. Even out here in SC, they have Lagunitas (from Northern California). One of my classic go to IPA's. Good stuff.
