Controversial Beer Opinions Thread

Good one.

 

If a brewery taproom wants to be kid friendly and have activities and stuff, that’s fine, but don’t you dare expect me not to steal all of the Legos from the children and build a massive structure in the middle of the bar the second I get drunk. You have Legos and alcohol, then that’s on you brother.

 

I doubt whether most Corona drinkers have ever tasted anything except skunked beer. That little lime chunk doesn't keep much sunlight out.

 

Cascade, and other pine resin hops just shouldn't be grown anymore.

 

Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free . . .

 

Just a contrast statement on what I believe to be utter shit, and preferring something pedestrian, eternally

 

There is no requirements here, that I know of - but there are levels of embarrassing behavior exhibited to suggest that some people are defined by, or define themselves by their beer choices.

Me, I drink beer. I love beer. I need beer. But I have my limits and it is not a priority or some journey that I am on.

 

I'm looking forward to pumpkin beers this Fall.

 

Me too. It'll only be a couple, but it still won't be a good autumn season without them.

 

If White Claw was called 'White Claw Clear IPA' people would drink it thinking they look hardcore, because they're drinking an IPA.

 

Unless its something I know will be good 100% of the time like founders Backwoods Bastard, I refuse to pay $10+ for a 4 pack of anything. Maybe its because I'm just a poor college student, but that seems preposterous.

 

I am of the same mind, but I will stretch to $12 in some cases - but I firmly believe that a beer at home should not come close to what you would pay for a beer in a pub. That means no 6.99 tallboys for this guy.

 

I hate IPAs. I've tried and I've tried to like them but I just can't.

 

Or in a Wit, Grains of Paradise are sometimes used, and those are peppery.

 

I won't buy an IPA if the bottled date isn't printed, unless I already know for a fact that it's fresh (such as a limited release). Otherwise, I think some breweries are losing business by not printing the date. And liquor stores that don't cycle their product and put fresh stuff out really piss me off. If you can't sell the outdated product, maybe don't buy as much, if any, for your next shipment?

 

GoP should be use much more in witbier, IMO. They impart quite a lovely character.

 

Right-o. Fuck non dated packages.

 

My controversial beer opinion: I would rather be in a room with 20 kids who just ate a pound of jelly beans each, and a pack of wild dogs, than a room full of goobers with a taster flight in front of them, sipping them like a goddamn apéritif, and then punching their results into their smart phone. Thank you.

Edit: late to the party, I know.
