    My local craft beer bar is right nextdoor to my gym (nice, right!!), I walked in after a workout to get my growler filled wearing a Bud Light tee-shirt, from the looks I got, you'd think the shirt had Charles Manson or ******'s face on it...fuck those people

    If you have ever been to Belgium you will know that most are drinking Euro Pils. I haven't been in a while to know if Shandy/Radler is there, but it could be.

    Edit - BBQ corn nuts, nope!

    With all due respect, how is this thread still open, because it REEKS of "troll bait." Sorry, but that's what I'm seeing.

    I couldn't agree more, especially when Im pounding high life, rolling rocks, or shitty Mexican lagers, love them all. to avoid the fodder, by all means don't say that there are other good IPAs out there besides heady haha

    There are hostile people here. Expect it, learn to accept it, and embrace it.

    i read this review on storm king stout saying it tastes like brownie batter and fudge... were you eating brownies with it? like really

    i can never tell if a beer review on this site is legitimate or a troll review... why do people post this crap anyway? they are just in denial imo... after paying their days salary on storm king imperial stout when they could've bought some Budweiser... they have to delude themself into thinking they made a good choice

    it's sad that such highly rated beers on this site are usually worse than crappy american beers

    When I was in highschool, I despised the smell of corn nuts in class, or on the girls breath I liked...

    You can put hazelnut in my coffee creamer but keep it away from my beer. All these flavorings and hops being added to beer is just getting silly. You think tasting 20 different flavors in a beer means high quality? I think that beer has an identity crisis.

    Minutes after my plane touches down in Boston prior to a Vermont beer tour I stock up on Shiner variety packs and corn nuts. I learned my lesson a few years ago, got some serious hop indigestion from those craft double IPAs at the Vermont bars and they accidentally gave me an arugula salad with goat cheese. I don't know about you guys, but I want something greasy, salty and crunchy with my beer. BBQ or Ranch corn nuts alone or with a steaming bowl of Wolf chili from Texas is without a doubt the ultimate beer pairing.

    You act like those top 250 beers are so much better than Shiner Bock. I'll guarantee you if "The Bock" wasn't distributed outside of Texas it would be on the top 250. Come on, you guys know how those ratings work...guy spends all this time and money obtaining rare beer, mighta been satisfied or disappointed, who knows, but talks it up anyway to make himself feel better.

    Amazing! Too many people are part if the "herd" and can't admit that vanilla rye is borderline disgusting and kbs is underwhelming. If you like it drink it, screw the wannabe "ba" fanboys who look down on others.

    I thought Shiner Bock paired with cheese fries.
