                    So you judge the past year based on your two hundred dollar beer collection?

                      Don't be so quick to judge. It's all relative. When you're a broke failure, 200 dollars worth of beer can be quite the accomplishment...

                      Good job baddog!

                          Way to show you have no clue about craft beer. There are beers there that are $150 a bottle; from the source. There are maybe 4 beers there you can get for under $10; if you could even find them. Most of them are unavailable to you in your market.

                              150 dollars for a bottle..... gee golly that's impressive

                              What kind of rates did you get for your 3rd mortgage on your trailer to afford that?

                                    I am a hophead so IPAs are really my favorite for the summer, but of course they don't cellar well; except for the Enjoy Afters but this is their first release so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.

                                    TBH, it has been so hot around here most of the beers shown were not really appropriate; I am glad it is cooling off and scheduled for rain.

                                        I have read of 200 year old beer being drank - World's 'oldest beer' found in shipwreck - CNN.com

                                        Of course, American craft beer is relatively new, but some of the oldest beer I have personally consumed was Samichlaus Classic Bier (1993).

                                                Well, since "most beer" means Bud, Miller and Coors, yeah. There are tons of great beers that cellar well. Do not cellar IPAs, pilsners or lagers; do cellar porters, stouts, saisons, barleywines and anything that has been barrel-aged.

                                                Your comment reminded me of our visit to Full Circle Brewing back in February; none of the beer he pours (pictured) is less than 6 months old with one being from 2006 and another from 2009. This was just what he had on tap the night we went in there.

                                                All of the beers pictured in the original post are great beers and none of them are hoppy . . . except maybe the Enjoy After 10.31.15 but only time will tell on that one. Stone used to be primarily hoppy stuff but they have been releasing a lot of stuff that the hops are barely noticeable. If you can give me an idea of a style you enjoy I should be able to direct you to something you would like.

                                                Come to think of it, none of the beers pictured in the Full Circle flight were hoppy either; primarily because they were brewing before the "west coast IPA" style was conceived and he was not about to change his recipes for anyone.

                                                That guy was probably the coolest, most knowledgeable beer person I have ever met.

                                                  Your comment reminded me of our visit to Full Circle Brewing back in February; none of the beer he pours (pictured) is less than 6 months old with one being from 2006 and another from 2009. This was just what he had on tap the night we went in there.





                                                  All of the beers pictured in the original post are great beers and none of them are hoppy . . . except maybe the Enjoy After 10.31.15 but only time will tell on that one. Stone used to be primarily hoppy stuff but they have been releasing a lot of stuff that the hops are barely noticeable. If you can give me an idea of a style you enjoy I should be able to direct you to something you would like.

                                                  Come to think of it, none of the beers pictured in the Full Circle flight were hoppy either; primarily because they were brewing before the "west coast IPA" style was conceived and he was not about to change his recipes for anyone.

                                                  That guy was probably the coolest, most knowledgeable beer person I have ever met.
                                                  I'd like a pilsner I think. I can only drink light, not heavy beers. Perhaps a craft version of budweiser/Miller kind of brew?

                                                        I initially thought about the pils we had yesterday, but they do call it a "hoppy pils" so Pivo might not be the best option for you.



                                                        That being said, there are lots of pilsners out there that have a more balanced profile that you might enjoy. Loma Prieta by Beachwood Brewing (Long Beach) is a tasty German Pilsner; Port Town Pilsner by Port Town Brewing Company is outstanding. Smog City's Little Bo Pils is another good one.

                                                        Lagers are tougher because they are more difficult to produce do not a lot of craft brewers do them, but I liked Bottle Logic's Hanamachi (Japanese Rice Lager).

                                                        Ballast Point has a Helles Lager, Longfin Lager, that is pretty good and relatively easy to find. Anchor Steam's Anchor California Lager is pretty good too. Be advised, lagers are not my favorite style and because very few craft brewers can do them, I have limited experience with them. That being said, if I rate a lager highly it must be pretty damned good. A lager can be true to style but won't rank well with me just because I am not a lager guy.

                                                        Hope it helps a little.

                                                                  I would say as far as flavor goes, most lagers are lighter than most pilsners, but that is a tough one. Yeasts and malt varieties account for a lot. Anchor makes a lot of different styles, I would not judge them all by one.

                                                                          I'ma keep an eye out for the ones you mentioned. But I wonder why no one has made a craft miller light kinda beer? that sounds pretty fucking tasty to me!

                                                                              No one makes a light lagers the same reason few make lagers, they are hard to do because you have to cold ferment them. There are lots of craft breweries doing session ales now, like around 3.5 ABV. Some are very good, but most I've had have been session IPAs which I presume you do not care for.

                                                                                        and what can i say - i still like their beer the most here in CZ.

                                                                                        and they actually invented Pilsener beer (german brewmaster that came to Pilsen cause in Bavaria they found his beer too bitter)
                                                                                        Like I said, while others may see it as a bad thing my personal experience is that the craft guy getting bought out by the corporate brewers is able to expand his market.

                                                                                        Great example around here is Goose Island out of Chicago. Anheuser-Busch InBev bought them in 2010(?) and they now brew the standard stuff I never drink anyway, with a much larger distribution area. The best part is that now Goose Island can concentrate on their good stuff like their Bourbon County Brand Stouts which are now available in 8 or 9 markets in the country; including LA.

                                                                                        There are beer snobs that may not agree but that is what separates the geeks from the snobs, I guess.
