imaxcowboyx Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I couldn't find a way to resize images, but this beer is THE JAM (and may have been part of my breakfast, ha). Not as good as 'Even More Jesus' or 'Soft Dookie', but still crazy good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongbow cider, or get lighter flavored beers (Shocktop has lots of good ones, as does Leinenkugels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymbalism15 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Cider. That will help over the holidays but what about after? Strongbow cider, or get lighter flavored beers (Shocktop has lots of good ones, as does Leinenkugels) Those sound pricy, keep in mind that I'm broke. I'm not trying to drink natty light or coors but my options are limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seangj Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hornsby's is pretty cheap. they have a draft apple and a crisp apple. The crisp would be a good one to start with. Here they are like $6.99 for a six pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the thing about beer, there is a shitload of it. I'm making a huge assumption about what you drank in college, which is probably all of a similar flavor profile. Bad. Now, you just may not like beer. My mother-in-law doesn't like any of it, some people just don't find it to be particularly palatable. But if you're really curious about trying it, se if you can get yourself to a good liquor store, or beer bar, and try a good variety. Either of those establishments will have knowledgable staff who can help. Most people would generally advise to try a lighter pilsner or Kolsch style, something without a huge flavor profile. And I'd generally agree those are pretty safe bets. But you should also try some vastly different flavor profiles and some more esoteric offerings. Try a Lambic, or sour beer. A Stout aged on Vanilla beans or other flavor modifier, that'll also have a really different flavor profile. Grab one of them pumpkin beers everyone in this thread loves. And yeah, cider is good too. You may hate them all, which is fine, more for me. But there is a metric assload of beers to try, and you might find something that suits you especially if your willing to venture off the beaten path a bit. seangj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the hoppy bitterness of beer or general assy taste of cheap college beer than you may want to try either lighter white or wheat beers or the darker maltier beers. The wheat beers are light, smooth and very refreshing in the summer - Think Hoegaarden or any number of wheat styles, which can range from light, crisp and fruity to somewhat dark. Someone mentioned shock top, which isn't too bad. The dark malter beers are usually Belgian style. The "tend" to not be so hoppy, sweeter and have a high alcohol content (from the sugar and yeast strains). The doubles are darker and heavier and the triples are lighter and strong. They are usually pricey, but one tends to not drink too many, especially at 7-12% alcohol. I really like Gouden Carolus and Maredsous 10. If you really want alcoholic soda then try like a fruit lambic. The kriek (cherry) is good in small doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 where did you get that?? ---------- Snagged it at a local Total Wine. Seemed like literally the only thing people were buying today. Even given the cost, they sold out pretty quickly. Hoping to give it a go with my father before the week's end.

imaxcowboyx Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 So, I can't be the only person who went out and picked this up today... nah, i snagged one as well. Funny, the process was ridiculously easy. I showed up an hour after the TotalWine opened, and just picked one up off the counter. I don't even think they sold out until today. And it was pricey, but really not insane considering the cost of beer from people like Evil Twin, Haand, or Mikkeller. if you take away ~$10 for the two Westy glasses, then it's about 12-13 bucks a bottle. Wish I could have just bought two bottles (honestly, its not that good. Definitely worth trying, but it won't be the best beer you've ever had.) What I'm REALLY excited for, though is the release of Sierra Nevada Barrel-Aged Bigfoot this January. That beer is gonna be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
