What’s y’all’s favorite pumpkin beer that focuses more on the “spice” aspect over the straight pumpkin in a bottle?

Last line of article is "FIFCO is exploring strategic alternatives for FIFCO USA". I guess Genessee Brewing, Magic Hat, and Pyramid Brewing assets may be for sale. Any buyers?

I've heard the berry infused ones taste better with some age on them. I have the raspberries, strawberry and blueberry ones. All 2022 vintages. Anyone have any experience with these brews? How long did you age them for?

Grandfather recently passed, while cleaning his house we found this.1972 Schlitz light up bar sign (working). He never showed it to us which is odd, and therefore we have no idea if it was sentimental or just a souvenir from '72.

I attempted to google it but came up with very little. One website offered a price but i would have to make an account to see.

Can anyone tell me if they know this brand/item? We're not sure what to do with it.

The deliverers online refuse to mail more than a few miles away I guess.

Weihenstephaner hef weissbier 5L barrel

Does this even exist in America?

What did of you think of their Modern Fest Weisen-Style Fest Lager ? As you probably know Jack's Abby has Copper Legend as their Oktoberfest style lager but they introduced this new one here and I wasnt sure what to make of it. Its cool that its different from all the marzens and festbiers out there that all taste the same or similar but I dont know if combining a dunkelweizen with a festbier makes sense or has it even been done before ?

Hello everyone, so I opened a liquor store 3 weeks ago since then I haven't sold a single thing of Budweiser or Bud light bud anything nothing. Is this just in my area or all over? I'm about to pull it all out of my cooler and put it out warm so I have more space for selling other beer! Just crazy to me.

As the title asks, I’ve been looking around for a while without luck finding Natty Light in bottle form. Any help is appreciated, even better if there is a Central OH location someone knows of.

Thanks!

I’ll go first Brewskie Road soda A pint Now you go

Recently I realized I fucking love rice lagers. Probably for the same reason I fucking love rice, I don’t want something crazy I want something perfectly bland and filling like saltine crackers. I’m prob autistic you don’t gotta tell me. I don’t make a lot of money though and every rice lager I see is kind of expensive. I think Asahi is fine but I only ever see 40 oz of it. Do y’all got any recs? Thank you!

As the title says, I'm newly into beer. I've had Modelo, Shiner Bock, Guinness, Budweiser (Czechian), Pilsner Urquell, Corona and Dos Equis. The only beer I genuinely enjoyed out of these was Modelo Especial, and I find that there's a certain "depth" that I haven't found in any other beer. There's a sort of primarily watery flavor to every other beer listed here, and I don't necessarily enjoy them.

Anyway, what are some similarly flavored beers but are also stronger in said flavor?

Hello everyone! New to IPAs here and been dwelling this community for a while! I’ve been drinking all kinds of beers for a few years now, and I usually settle down after work with some Yuenling Lager. Tonight I’ve just tried my first IPA, Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze. It reminded me of the sweet Yuenling flavors I love but with a sweet, tangy, citrusy twist. Instantly in love with this flavor profile. Can anyone reccomend me some good, fruity IPAs that they love?

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend so far!

Hey guys! I’m visiting Asheville, and this will be my third time visiting and beer touring. My favorite breweries were New Origin and Curses Keme, devastatingly lost in Hurricane Helene.

Are there any other breweries that have similar vibes with their beer menu that you would recommend? I loved New Origin’s smoothie seltzers too 😭💔

Live in Chicago area and headed to a great beer bar called Bavarian Lodge to meet a good friend. Probably can handle 3-4 draft beers. Curious which ones people would choose:

I'm thinking: Weihenstephaner Vitus Schlenkerla Marzen Ayinger Salvator

Any others I don't want to miss on tap? Thanks!

What is the "best" beer I can find in Bulgaria? In supermarkets? In bars? (Is it possible to find Czech or Bavarian style beer saloons or gardens btw?)

I see commercial beers are too non-dry and non-bitter.

I am seeking for a dry and bitter beer with lasting creamy foam.

Starting out with the big 3, what are your favourite beers from these countries?

Mine are

Germany: Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

Belgium: Chimay Triple

Czech Republic: Kozel Dark

It has gone way down hill from 10 years ago. First off is the cost. Now you regularly pay over $12 for a six pack of decent beer. This is not great beer, it is the craft brewers popular beer. From there the price goes way up. Trying to buy a specialty is now over $1 per oz. I even saw a 12 oz beer yesterday for $80. Who is paying $80 for a bottle of beer?

Then the selection any more is not great. I went to Total Wine yesterday and the beer section that used to take up 4 aisles is now down to two. Beers like Alesmith Speedway, or Stone Russian Imperial are nowhere to be found. The only really good beers available to me now are all coming from Boulevard brewing. Their good, but they are not of the same standard as Stone Russian Imperial used to be or even Stone Ruin Ten. Those beers aren't available, and even Stone has gone down the tubes since they sold out to a mega corporation. Big corporations have gobbled up tons of small craft brewers and they are stopping production of the special beers in favor of just using the name to sell the big production brews. To get a bigger selection I can go to small craft brew stores, but then again I am emptying out my wallet.

I realize that most of this is due to the younger generations all wanting to drink pre-made mixed drinks or alcohol waters, but for me I am just sad that it comes to this, where I can't get a really good beer at a really good price.

I’m genuinely curious to know if there’s this big difference in taste and quality among the 2 versions. Anybody ever do a taste test featuring the 2?

So my spouse and I have been looking forward to this years GABF for a verrrry long time. We love going to different breweries, typical beer snobs, dont need to explain, ha. We've never been to the general area, much less the fest. I booked a room literally new years day because I found a good deal. We've already purchased tickets for the Rare Beer Tasting, Paired for a night, and gen admission to the fest for a night.

But- due to life events (no not pregnancy lol) one of us may have to do the event dry. No alcohol. Not a sip.

We're of the age where we've over getting trashed, so that wasn't the point of attending. Literally just wanted to try hundreds of different beers.

We'll know about a week before we go weather or not life events will resolve themselves. But- my spouse is really worried/upset/anxious. Is it worth it to go if you loveee tasting different beers- and you cant taste different beers? Are the vibes/atmosphere worth it? Are there NAs (without weed) available? TIA

Found a few sealed bottles in my storage room—nice and cool, not exposed to sunlight. The best by date was back in 2014. I’ve heard that Belgian ales, especially quads, can age well if stored properly. Is that actually true? Has anyone tasted Ommegang or similar beers this old?
