ThaLoraxYou mean like this witty, mediocre beer from New Zealand (I may or may not have a poster of it on my wall)???

You probably don't know about the General Generic Brand beer they used to sell in the USA. Stuff came in a white can that just said Beer on the side. Now there are a bunch of these "generic" beers made by the micro brewers. Pub beer by 10 barrel is another one that is using the plain white cans.
Twinjibber77I tried the Lagunitas Pils last week because it sounded weird, can confirm it was weird. It's just like a Pils, but still tastes like Lagunitas.

Lagunitas is all pretty good stuff. Some of their beers probably have about a zillion calories though.

I'm from the US, so yes, I do know about that beer. It was crap.
Speaking of, I'm hopefully working with 10 Barrel for my new Sustainably Green Brewery certificate if I can climb the corporate goddamn ladder to talk to the right Anhauser people.
this is a good session beer for when you want to pick up a six pack and just drink one beer after another. id highly recommend it. it is considered an IPA but it is way less strong as IPA's such as Dogfish Head or like a Sierra Nevada Torpedo.
i'm hooked on porters and stouts. granville island winter ale comes to mind, it's just so damn tasty!!!
"Winter is coming—and you’re going to like it. With complex layers of vanilla, cocoa, and caramel, our Lions Winter Ale gives you plenty to get warm and cozy with. This brew is nicely balanced so the sweeter flavours don’t overwhelm. You could call it the ultimate winter comfort brew, perfect with cream-based soups and other winter comfort foods."
Ive been really into Granville islands Northwest pale ale, the perfect citrus blend with the right amount of hops. Ever since i moved to Van ive been drinking mostly craft, and really developed a taste for IPAs and stouts. I had a 20 oz stout that was 8.5 percent a few weeks ago while i was on a date lol was walking a lil crooked out of Red Truck brewing after one beer

Do you live in a van because you are poor from spending so much on beer or are you just one of those rich guys that lives in a van by choice?

Hmmm...
I go to school here. Busted my ass working a job last year to save money to afford full time schooling. midnight til 8:30 five days a week. I would put all the money away i could each paycheck and just leave enough for me to get by. Totally worth it. so definitely not one of those rich kids who has been given everything and fed with a silver spoon.
i am broke as hell now though. Just enough money to get me home for the summer to work.

Lol. Just messing with you. I know you are just trying to say you live in Canada and you don't actually live in your car lol. (or do you? I guess I'm just assuming you don't live in a car. Totally cool if you do though. Some good people live in vehicles both by choice and circumstance.)
Dad bought me some Grateful Dead beer! Stoked to try it tonight. Definitely a novelty item but any Dogfish Head I have tried is pretty good stuff.
DolanReloadedI drank 4-5 flying dog double dogs a day for about 2 years and did a number on my liver. I dont drink much anymore but my current favorite is kahlua
Especial (35% alc) and milk. Its as delicious
As chocolate milk.
If anybody wants to know what being an alcoholic is like, drink one of these.
Youll think to yourself “wow, goes down as easy as a sam adams”
and then the buzz will hit you
Then you look at the label:
I never liked hard liquor because it was hard to put down and i always had to fight the urge to vomit because im a huge vagina.
But this beer was like mainlining alcohol. Drinking it is just too easy.
if liver damage wasnt a thing this beer would be one of the best thing in the world.
but mines fucked so i gotta stick to weed and opioids

theabortionatorI quit drinking beer. Will drink the occasional cheap beer on the slopes now. Too much fucking money
Went back hard on the beer train last summer in Australia. And dabble more this season but mostly drank bourbon and scotch. In the spring I started going harder on the beer again. Then with covid it was yolo but mostly liquour. When I buikt my mini ramp switched to full time beer because whiskey and skating gets rowdy..
Was nice to grab some sip of sunshine, fiddlehead, smuttynose, saranac, and other east coast beers while back here. Mostly was on a Lagunitas and Seirra diet the last few season. I def like deals on 12 packs rather than 6ers and honestly I'd rather be at home drinking not deciding in the store for 30 min.
At bars I'm going to always try some new shit on tap though.
For me it was basically like a way to get a buzz as strong as you get from doing shots but it goes down easy without making you gag. Also you feel every sip you take. You take a sip, wait 30 seconds, and then youre like “ah, there it is”
oldmanskiSupport them local breweries when you can!
No kidding. Always have, always will! Alaska has some really awesome breweries and beers.
My current personal favorites are YellowEye PA from Broken Tooth, Panty Peeler (tripel) from Midnight Sun, the KUIU Verde 2.0 IPA collab with Anchorage Brewing, Chuli Stout from Denali Brewing, Long Track IPA from Matanuska Brewing, Hopothermia and the Smoked Porter from Alaskan Brewing, and No Woman No Cryo (NEIPA) from Girdwood Brewing.
Favorite non-local beers are the Oatis (oatmeal stout) from Ninkasi, and then Black Butte Porter, Rip City Lager (Blazers!), and The Abyss from Deschutes.
When I’m at home chillin (they’re actually pretty sweet tasting- bought em as a joke once but they hit real nice)
When it’s a special occasion or Something I love bunkhouse brewery sours, had a blood orange+ginger and a strawberry+Thai basil sours a while back when I went to the brewery and they’re so tasty- great ABV for a sour too.
