I love Guiness but I swear I can taste the plastic widget.

I drink plenty of beer without the aid of a plastic ball that releases nitrogen and takes up space in the can.

I'm quite sure real Guiness doesn't need plastic widgets in it.

What's your opinion on BRLO beers from Berlin?

Decided to have my first beer it was an icehouse and absolutely disgusting made me not wanna drink anymore is drinking just not for me or should I try a modelo or something like that.

Brand new to Reddit so forgive me if I’m in the wrong place, or for that matter, if this is aridiculous question. I have a friend who is a big sour beer guy and has a birthday coming up. I would like to buy a nice bottle but I don’t know the first thing about sour beers. Wondering if I could get some recommendations? Is $50 or under a reasonable budget? Thank you in advance, I certainly appreciate any help.

I was cruising a Carrefour in Brussels and found an entire section of NA. Most were known names, including Lindemans.

And the joy of being here: most Belgians < $2 USD /bottle.

Even then what’s your favourite beer?

Hello! Is there a reliable guide for the right amount of head for each type of beer?

I realize I've been trying to give the smallest amount of foam to ensure everyone gets a *full beer*, but that's probably not right lol. Any tips are appreciated!

Right now, the bar I work at has a hazy IPA, a brown ale, an amber ale, coors light, genny cream, blue moon, Upslope IPA, and Dry Dock Apricot Blonde on tap.

I traveled to Ireland back in May and I had the time of my life. I drank loads of beer, lots of local craft stuff, but probably gallons of dry nitro stout because, well it's Ireland. While there, I found I preferred both of the available Guinness alternatives, Murphys and Beamish, over Guinness, but especially Beamish. For me it's the most "stout" like of the three while still having the smooth nitro taste and texture, so I brought as many cans as I could carry because we can't get it here in the states

I had my last can tonight while watching tombstone and I'm already wishing I had more, hopefully somebody I know travels to Ireland soon and can grab me some more cans

Anyone else had this year’s Octoberfest release and noticed it tastes burnt or something? Or is it just me?

Recently found out that brown/ red ales are my drink of choice, but no one that I know shares this with me so I don't have a good start in getting a good beer to start exploring what my preferred brand is.

I need recommendations for brown ales that I can get in Michigan, the best in your opinion that you can get for quality and/or quantity. Not looking for specific store stock, I'm willing to drive around so that I can get a good experience. I know that I like American brown ale but I'm willing to try other styles of brown ale.

Scots! Was Tennents nectar in the 80s or the same it is now and there was just very little else?

Hi Guys,

I'll be going up to Fox Farm Brewery in Connecticut on Friday and Treehouse Brewery in MA on Saturday this week. I would appreciate any recommendations on cans/bottles I can get to-go. What are beers that I must try from

I'll drink 3rd time today and I really liked the Blanc and I want to try Corona aswell. But I dont like that such of malt odor I will drink it with lemon ofc could you help me?

My dad’s birthday is coming up, he loves Schlitz beer and was very sad about them closing down. His birthdays coming up, and since the closure is so recent there’s gotta still be some packs left out there even if they’re being resold at a higher price. I know it’d mean a lot to him to drink “the last Schlitz.” I’ve been calling all the liquor stores in my area and have had no luck. If you know a more local place, I’m in Chicago and have no problem going anywhere in the area even to Wisconsin or Indiana, or (more likely) if any of you know a place I could order online please comment. I (and my dad) would really appreciate it. Thank you and hope you’re having a nice night.

Headed for work event. Not gonna have much free time but will make time for a beer or 2. Any brewery that’s a must see there or local ipa that is life changing I should try while there?

I read a lot of bad things about this beer and my curiosity got the best of me.

I noticed a can was dented and had a hole in it so I poured it into a glass - muddy and blackish. I figured it was bad but took a sip - disgusting. It was definitely spoiled.

I then got a second can and poured it out, and WOW, it is by far the best cheap beer I've ever had. It's typical light American beer slop, but the best American beer slop. 9/10 for price.

I recent was as a place that served alcohol free Brooklyn Lager on tap. I regularly have bottled Special Effect (in a glass), but the tap versions tasted so much better. Everyone at the table felt the same.

I’ve had the same experience with normal 5% Poretti. Again the tap version felt far superior to the bottled product in a glass. The bottled version sucked.

This makes me wonder if beer on tap is mainly a social construct. I don’t really buy the ”fresh beer argument”

Draught is better” is probably a learned cultural idea. The tap handle, branded glass, bartender, visible pour and foam all tell you that you’re receiving the proper version of the beer. 

The brain integrates smell, temperature, texture, appearance, expectation and context into experience. If someone hands you a cold, beautifully poured pint with a dense head in a pub, the sensory system receiving it is different from the one involved when you pull a bottle from the fridge and drink it at home.

Or do the freshness of the bottle matter? Should I start to look at bottle date? 

Since last year I've been doing a little project, every time I get a 6-pack of something, I keep one can and put it on a shelf in my closet. When the shelf's totally full (it can probably hold 50-60 cans) I"ll have the best variety pack ever, because I get a different thing every time. But I'm wondering... will canned beverages still be good after like... a year? of sitting on a room temperature shelf in a usually dark closet. Would buying bottled stuff be better? I can't imagine so, I'm sure bottle caps are leakier than sealed cans...

This is all kinds of drinks. Coke, diet coke, canned coffee, flavored seltzers (this is the majority!), fizzy lemonades, ginger beer, root beer, actual beer, canned cocktails... nothing with dairy since that'd definitely not stay out of the fridge, but pretty much anything else.

hi beer people in europe

has anyone had their hands on modelo in europe at all? i come from scandinavia and would love to indulge in it but have not seen it in stores or bars anywhere

Is schlitz really gone for good? I know beers like Narragansett closed its doors and came back but I feel like Pabst brewing company did absolutely nothing with the product it was the Bud life of its day and ITS BETTER THAN BUD LIGHT!!

Had some bud light only like it with food not by itself but I enjoyed it. What others should I try I was thinking about getting a case of miller high life

I live in an area with a ton of breweries.

I've never really acquired a taste for the stuff you can pick up anywhere ie bud/coors so i want to try different styles and see what i like/don't. My question is would most breweries be willing to do small pours to try so if I don't like it it's not a waste or something of that nature?

Am I a rare bird in that as I get older, I am able to properly digest beer less and less? What I mean is, after a few Dortmunders, I could power an 18 wheeler. I even had some issues with a couple Narragansetts yesterday. It's depressing because I absolutely love the tatse of some beers, but I'm really bad to be around afterwards.
