I've never done it, but it'd be cool to hear how it's done. Let 'er rip, man!

My comfortable middle ground local beers you can get at the liquor store, order online or, are local brews sold in bulk locally. If you haven't had Shiner while down South you're missing out on the best common beer known to man.

And this you can get at Walmart so you better damned have it at your house party if I'm in town:

Will the next Microbrewery you get a VIP membership (Taste Test Lovers Card) in Beijing take over an old bathhouse where guys can steam it up in towels or less and talk about their favorite new Cilantro Lime Spicy Lemon Cider recipes?

Where can I get this?

Here's some craft beer:

   

   
They make a bunch of them. The restaurant sucks. They sell the beer at a few strip joints.

In case you need to find it: http://konabrewingco.com/about/contact-us/. There you go!

Aloha!

Craft beer in Quebec has been a flourishing in the last 7 years but we always had an history of having large micro-breweries selling for the province or the city ( Mcauslan, Unibroue, Trois-Mousquetères), these larger breweries are delicious and paved the way for micro-brewery here. Our belgian ancestors taught us well..we love drinking these strong trappist style beers.

The Trois-mousquetère bottles are quite cool and sold everywhere:

I got started getting serious about the microbrewery experience in Grand Rapids, MI. I was living there for school and in my final year, I started hanging out with a new group of friends who would hit up Founders every Monday night. I'd been aware of the craft beer industry for a while before that with my first visit to a microbrewery in Shanghai in 2006. However, I had never really explored the full range of flavours available until that fateful summer of 2013.

That's the summer I became a man.

A few more friends:

- La Vache Folle milk stout (Quebec)


- Harviestoun Old Engine Oil black ale/porter (Scotland)


- Kalnapilis Grand lager (Lithuania... actually all the Lithuanian beer is highly enjoyable, including Svyturys and Utenos)

Koestritzer Schwarzbier, the beer that made me a man at age 16.

It's claim to fame is that Johann von Goethe once survived an entire month of crippling illness by drinking this beer instead of eating real food.

If you don't know who that is, you should do the same.

Founded in 1543.

Now I am forced to start my own Shitty Domestic Beer To Get Day Drinking Wasted Thread.



I predict plaid shirt sales and Bjork poster pop up ads in this tread.

I spot 5 manlets already effortlessly on image display in their natural habitat within 1 post. WB girls 0 for 3. Firecracker start.

I hope you're just trolling and/or drunk. I don't see the difference between wanting to bang an above-average woman or drinking an above-average beer. Having good taste in women and bad taste in beer is not only tragic but horribly inconsistent.

I don't like hipster culture. And I don't go out to craft breweries often...hardly at all, these days. But it's cool if people like to do it.

All I'm saying is that I like good quality domestic beer. I like the beers from different parts of the country, the good stuff, that you can buy in a good liquor store. I don't see how, or why, anyone can possibly shame that. Makes no sense to me.

Samuel Adams is my favorite domestic brand, all around.

Is that considered a "craft beer"?

.

I think Sam Adams finds the perfect middle ground in terms of "large brewery" and "craft brewery". It's available coast to coast, but they still have a wide variety of special and seasonal beers. Frankly, for my money, nothing tops a Sam Adams Octoberfest seasonal. In my younger days, I once cleared out the grocery store of Octoberfest upon its first release for the year.

Yeah Sam Adams is my shit, you can get it anywhere in MA.

They just opened a liquor store down the street that I can walk to in 5 minutes that sells nothing but craft beer/ microbrewery etc. Looking for something high alcohol, but tastes good. I used to drink a 40 of St. Ides a day, slowed my roll and drink about once a week now, but I want something strong, but not terrible like St Ides.

Goddamn Trav dropping bombs in this thread.

I HATE IPA's - literally can't drink it man - I've tried quite a few (being in SoCal) but can't get into it.

Sours, Blondes, Reds, and stouts are cool.

I don't drink much nowadays but if it's a marathon weekend:



Unlike those hipster fags drinking PBR.

I don't pair brews with food, that's just weird to me.

Brews ARE food!




On a side note,one thing I love doing whether its a weizen or a pilsner or a bock,I love dipping a piece of ginger on the glass.
Let it rest a bit so the beer gets flavoured,it works pretty well with gasified water or fizzy drinks too

I like my food with water or ice tea, call me weird.

If I drink good beer, it's at the brewery with friends and conversing.

Alaskan Smoked Porter (good, but overpriced)
Kodiak Nut Brown Ale
Deschutes Blackberry Porter

When I just want to drink beer that doesn't cost much, I like MGD. I'll drink almost any beer except Budweiser, I really can't stand it. I also don't like IPAs.

How the fuck I miss this thread. Trav and Suits throwing down!

For the record....
I am probably a hipster. I support my local bar, they brew their own beer and I can walk there in 42 seconds. I own my own small business. I like to make things. Tinker and take photos for pleasure. I get a keg a month at my studio (which I might ride my bicycle to) from one of three micro breweries in my hood. People stop by and drink beer and if we get a certain sales rep drunk then we all pile back to the brewery and get wasted.

I like good beer. Because I know the difference between shitty Canadian or Kokanee and my local beer. One just tastes way better. I still drink my swill, but its for when I go to the cabin, lake or just want to crush beer all day playing horseshoes.

No way. Laner is way too cool to be a hipster.

Little known fact: when CodyB and I first met Laner in Hong Kong about a year ago, the first venue we hit up together was a LKF microbrewery location.

Man that german Schwarzbier look delicious:

For me I think Montreal is the best craft beer city in the world and probably in the top 4 best beer cities in the world, with Brussels, Munich, Prague.

If anyone wants to grab a pint forward me a PM..and I suggest and highly recommend Dieu-du-ciel, Vices & Versa and le St-Houblon to try the best crafted Quebec beers. In almost all bars now you can find Mcauslan and Unibroue.
