zacaroo21 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's delicious, but cheap price wise compared to the other beer I drink. Grain Belt Premium was just voted the best cheap beer...and it's local for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 When I go cheap I go for Tecate or the champagne of beers I tell people you can tell what kind of financial state I'm in based on the session beers in my fridge. Two Hearted if I'm living large, Yuengling for the average times, and High Life I'm low on funds. If there is no beer in my fridge, then I've probably gone bankrupt.

David The Gnome Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Generally not a fan of fruit/citrus-flavored beer but Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy is super drinkable and refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faith Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I had a can of Tonka's summer shandy today and it was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I had Russian River's "HUGElarge Sound Czech" Pilsner today. It was definitely a nod towards Trumer Pils but in my opinion, superior. Without a doubt the best Pilsner I've ever tasted. It came in a boot (which I HAD to buy) and that helped too. RR can do no wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It has been hot here and the local bar has been featuring Du De Ciel's Rosee D'Hibiscus. It isn't the best beer in the world, but it is a awesome summer beverage. A little tart and really fucking drinkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Generally not a fan of fruit/citrus-flavored beer but Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy is super drinkable and refreshing. Summer Shandy was kind of entrance into drinking beer. I didn't really drink alcohol and definitely not beer, but I had/have a friend who was/is super interested in craft beer and was trying to get me excited about it as well, and this was like my gateway. Now I just try everything, although I'll never get a taste for Porters or Stouts(flavor of coffee overpowers it too much) and I'm some what getting a taste for IPAs now. But Shandy was my first beer that I truly enjoyed even if it was a little sissy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacaroo21 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Man, I love a good porter and stout. Also a huge fan of whites and browns. I just can't do the IPAs and EPAs. Not too keen on the hoppy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faith Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Meh, hops. Overused and overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Meh, hops. Overused and overrated. Yeah, it's only one of the four ingredients allowed by the Reinheitsgebot. Totally overused. Admittedly, West Coast beers tend to overdo it on the hops front, but the different hops and different ways the hops are used (Randall, dry hopping) add a lot of unique aromas and fragrance to beer. I'd have a hard time saying hops are "overused and overrated." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I mean, overrated in the sense that I know a lot of people who seem to think that the more hops, the better the beer. I disagree. Please note that everything that I write is IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacaroo21 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I mean, I still get down on a hoppy beer from time to time, but my go to choice is usually a brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seangj Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's all about the IPAs! I'm going to an exclusively IPA beer festival this weekend and I could not be more excited! Man I won't be able to make it this weekend. My wife and I are having a baby and our due date is September 5. This is my last weekend off until then, so she wanted to go Vail for one last trip before the baby comes. I am dry hopped a rye IPA last week, so I will send you some when it is done in a few weeks though. Yeah, it's only one of the four ingredients allowed by the Reinheitsgebot. Totally overused. Admittedly, West Coast beers tend to overdo it on the hops front, but the different hops and different ways the hops are used (Randall, dry hopping) add a lot of unique aromas and fragrance to beer. I'd have a hard time saying hops are "overused and overrated." This is the truth. I used to be in the hops are overused camp, but now I really enjoy them. Its fun experimenting with different varieties. There is a brewery in Denver that serves their beer in a french press, and you can add fresh hops to the beer to taste the different hops (very subtle, but it works). If anyone has stuff by Upslope around them, I highly recommend it. Upslope is awesome. Awesome guys and great beer. I think they opened a second location. Have you been there?

jtcohenour Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'd like to try some of the beers made by Big Choice brewing out of Denver, but I have not seen any for sale here in Omaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
