Beers we take for granted

I could go buy a Rochefort 10, 8, or 6 right now. Also Bernardus. I went on a beercation to Gobel in Wichita and they had none of these.

 

I say these all the time, but Old Rasputin, Stone IPA, and SNPA. For as excellent as these beers are in their respective styles, you can find them all over, they're well priced, the quality is always super consistent and fresh. Great beers by great breweries.

 

I used to take for granted stuff from Firestone.

 

I take Odell, Great Divide, and Oskar blues for granted. They all have beers that I mean to try, but keep putting off for shit like Green Monster and Prairie Bomb and all the other limited releases that won't stick around for long. I have had my eyes on G'Knight for years now but never seem to be able to pull the trigger.

 

Fou'Foune

 

I take NEBCO for granted. I get burned out on Gandi bot and 668. I would kill for a Surely Abrasive or a FRESH Jai Alai (I can get jai alai in NY but they're usually old)

 

We just got Ballast Point and Green Flash here in Minnesota. And I can say that i really enjoyed Green Flash's West Coast IPA.

 

NWLA doesnt get much but...Some things i do get that i tend to "forget about and not care about"



Old Raspy for sure. Although i still purchase it every couple months.

Samuel Smiths Oatmeal

St. Bernardus Abt.

Chimay Blue is also a big one. Only buy it once a year. Surprised it hasnt been mentioned yet...


Anchorage Bitter Monk and Love Buzz sit on the shelves around here and collect dust.

 

Founders Breakfast Stout. Available pretty much all year where I live.

Also agree on the Old Rasputin. Always available and only $2.50 a bottle tiboot!

 

Cigar City Jai Alai.

I see people here wanting it all the time but I can walk to the closest store and pick up a 6 pack any time of day/night.

 

so true

 

Smuttynose finestkind IPA

 

I can do that with Surly products. We oughta trade

 

As far as imports Id say that Orval and Weihenstephaner are big ones

And as for beers on the home front id say anything on the Deschutes or sierra Nevada standard line up

 

For me as an islander of the uk it has to be torpedo
It's never mentioned in what beer are you drinking now but is the ipa I continually come back to
At 2.09 pounds compared to 4 pounds for most other offerings over here its a no brainier
Oh and it is delicious
After that anything Anderson valley do utterly superb brewery that again barely gets a mention

 

7 dollars for six my god I'm lucky if I get two for that price in the uk
You are taking it for granted sir

 

SNPA, have it once and a great while. It isn't the most hoppy or strongest in alcohol but a great all-around ale. I'd also include Sam Adams Black Lager, easy to find but rarely have.

 

I did not realize anyone else had the same opinion with DFH Indian Brown Ale.A great beer,a fantastic price and very unique.Great post

 

La fin du monde-many of us take it for granted.And all of Weihenstephaner-

 

Lagunitas IPA. When right, this beer is so easy to drink, but still with signature west coast profile. Agree with votes for Sierra Nevadas and the Weihenstephaner "group". I still think more folks need to visit and revisit Aventinus.
