    Hi there,
    a new beer store have opened yesterday, and I don't know what should I buy there.

    Here is the photo from their website:

    Is it worth buying? 'Cause it costs like 4.5$ for 0.3 liter bottle.

    Hmmm...not to sound like a smart a** but that is a little bit of a vague question don't ya think? What types of beer do you like? I see some Belgian beers there (Chimay) that i would get if I were in the mood for a Belgian..

    I don't like the heavy beers, like Murphy's. My favorite is Weihenstephan hefeweissbier , I don't like pilsners, lagers and that fizzy mouthfeel.

    "good" beer usually costs more than your average beer. I find that for me personally that any beer that peaks my interests and taste buds has a higher price than your average run of the mill beer. Seems as though my starting price point for a 6er of "good" beer is about $8.00. Bomber $5. Please understand that I am not trying to say that the pricier the beer the better but I am saying that there is a lower threshold where you get below the figures I mentioned the quality of the beer is not quite so good.

    Try some IPA's or Double/Imperial IPA's. This is a very popular style. Not "heavy" as you say and not "fizzy" like a pilsner. Do they have Sierra Nevada Torpedo? That is a good one that represents the style and has a pretty low pricepoint. $7-$9 usually for a 6pk.

    Show us the loons! Show us the loons! I definitely see Lindeman's way to the back w/ its' paper wrapping but that's all I can make out for Belgians. :slight_smile:

    They got any Ayinger? You'd probably like their beers if you like Weihenstephaner.

    That Brooklyn Monster Ale (barleywine) is quite tasty. Israel's got a great selection of Brookyn it seems.

    Oooh, Corona on the bottom.

    Ofcourse, the average lagers here are like 2$ for 0.5 liter. I have no problem paying 5$ for a beer, as long as I won't get disappointed.

    We don't have Sierra Nevada here, are there any other good beers in this style?

    They don't have Ayinger, I've heard it's great though.
    I'll find out some information about the Monster Ale.
    Yes, this beer store is one of the largest in Israel, located in Tel Aviv.
    I've heard some bad things about Corona unfortunately...
