Admitting Your Beer Noobdom

But you should try some HF, very worth it just get a regular beer like Everett. I had that with DC Brau PQ proter and Founders Porter, the DC and Founders were both great but the Everett was so much more complex while being refined.

 

Would love to!

 

Sadly to say ive tried of 200 different craft beers and i'm still a noob. Just converted about a year ago. I used to be an Anheiser Busch guy, but supprisingly my g/f turned me on to craft beer.

 

Everett would trade easily for stuff in your distro, I tend to buy what I drink but post an ISO for Everett and I don't see it being a problem.

 

when ordering the first time . . or second
mumbling the name
cause I really have no idea if I'm pronouncing it right

Achel
De Dolle Oerbier
Seizoen
Pissenlit
Struise Tsjeeses

it's easy to understand
someone who pronounces those wrong while feeling confident they're right

others you can confidently pronounce you've no idea
Cuvee D'Erpigny
Koerseklakske
't Smisje BBBourgondier
(not that you'd order those often)
cheers

Fingers and menus...

 

Only 'rare' beers I've had so far are Sucaba, Parabola and White Rajah - and they're not exactly 'rare', either.

Also, Yuengling is the shizz when you're fishing on a hot day.

Yes. This was my confusion too until I noticed the difference haha.

 

That's ok, because The Beer Formally Known as Abacus and Parabola are way better than almost all their 'rare' counterparts.

 

And in Chicago it's pretty easy to find Framboos but pretty hard to find Zombie Dust.

 

I've been a geek for years, but still have never gotten around to Belgian styles to any degree. I'm a sour noob and will probably stay that way, the only thing I could possible discuss without embarrassing myself would be IPA'S and DIPA's.

 

31 years old and I'm just now trying saisons. Haven't tried many lambics either

 

Not a big fan of sours yet. There's a few that I like, but most are alright. Which with the price tag of most of them means I rarely buy them.

 

give me your definition of noob first please. new to 1 beer or just new or just new to good beer?

 

Drink 3 good ones in a row, with a good cheese that matches what beer you picked, that helped me. Of course I was in Brugge at the time. ahh what a good year that was.

 

I haven't brewed a batch of my own yet.

 

Heh, I'm basically the same way.

I've started to get a lot more into stouts over the past year or so, but overall still feel rather noobish in that area as well.

 

your avatar is blowing my fucking mind

 

That song "Miller 64" is stuck in my head.

 

I still haven't been to southern California or Belgium for a beercation.
