So I've got this beer...

[Mikej]

What I want to know..... Is how you even find a three-year-old thread about bad beer.....

Because they've been screwing up the beverage with too many hops for longer than that.

I dont "despise" there's some good ones out there. I just wish they weren't doing a one up contest on who can jam the most hops into a beer. I dont like cheap beer unless I'm camping.

Actually, there are some amber ales out there that I really like, but I'll take a dark stout over an IPA any time. I always keep some Groundbreaker red (amber) ale around because it's gluten free and if I'm making beer battered anything I need to keep in mind that my wife can't do gluten. The other nice thing about it is it comes in oversized bottles, so I can put some in the batter and some in the chef.

I'm glad this frankenthread got some life back into it.
In the years since I posted this, I found a really good brewery up here in Longview, 5 Dons Brewing, that opened my eyes to how a lot of beers should be done.
Their Full Boat IPA is phenomenal and doesn't have that damned over-hoppiness. It's closer to a Pale, but just enough hops that you want to slug them down.
And the Snowbeast Milk Stout blew my mind.
I got halfway done with my pint and the barman asks me if I'd like a scoop of ice cream in it.
I'd had root beer floats, but I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me to use real beer...
It was out-of-this-world good!!!

They have $3 pint Thursdays ($4 regularly)($9 growler fill Wednesday), but they're backing down to only Saturdays soon because business has slowed up.
Anyone here have any experience in a Drinking Club?
I'd do almost anything to keep it open more than just Saturdays, so any input would be appreciated.
I might have to go over to Northwestspirits and ask around there...

It appears that Northwesspirits.com is no more...I thought it was one of Joe Link's...

I've said it before, many times, and I'll say it again, and again, and again, "Beer is like women, it's all good, some are just a lot better". And going along with this theme, the colder the beer (and the woman) the less the flavor.

I like a dark beer just fine with a burger or sandwich. Used to have the likes of "Henry's Dark" and "Rainier Dark"....Dark toasted malt and minimal hops/ IBU's. Too many anymore have way too much ABV. 4%-5% is nice.

Henry's Dark was pretty interesting. Was not as dark in color or taste as many others. Haven't seen anything like it since.

Went to New Zealand's south island for our 40th anniversary a few years back. Tried Speight's at the first pub we visited, and liked it so much I never tried anything else on the ten days we were there. They had some great commercials back in the day, until the PC crowd outlawed them.

Edit to add: I actually like the sour and fruity ales.

Same thing happened yesterday in the thread what did you have tonight .but it was 7 years old

 

[Andy54Hawken]

These aren't old or zombie threads...They are now to be thought of as "classic" or "vintage"...

After all we wouldn't want to trigger a thread and have it need its "wubbie" , safe place and years of therapy... So I am giving this thread a bump and a trophy for being a special thread that is classic and endearing to all....

I tend to like dark beers and ales. Had this one I drank 30 years ago, it was cream ale. Then all of a sudden it just disappeared was never able to find it again.
