Do You Ever Stop Finding Promising New Beers?

Depends on where I go. My usual spots I usually get my growlers filled. I've discovered some new distributors on my way to and from work, found some bottles I haven't seen before.

 

When you run out of 'new' stuff, sometimes something that's always on the shelf that you either (a) haven't drank since you got into craft or (b) always pass over for some reason or another can prompt one of those "Wtf haven't I been drinking this all these years? C'mon man, a sixer's only $8 bucks!" moments...I've recently had such revelations with Schlafly Kolsch and a few others.

 

Whenever I get bored or worn out, I always turn to Belgians. They just keep pulling me back.

 

Green flash disappointment? Sounds like you got an old ipa. Which unfortunately happens. Most of their stuff is at least decent if not good.

Can't say I'm disappointed. Tons of new beers popping up around here

 

No, I never stop finding promising new beers. The rate at which I find them has decreased though.

 

Can't go wrong with a fresh IPA from Green Flash...but that's just your opinion, man.

 

This. WCIPA is an amazing beer.

 

Stop? I can't keep up.

 

My wallet begs to differ. I wish shit didn't hit the shelves all at once.

 

No, I don't stop finding promising new beers, but I find that I turn to my old standards much more often these days.

 

There are so many different styles of beer and so many breweries that make these beers. It's honestly impossible to not have something interesting to turn to. And there are plenty of seasonal/rotating beers that meet you halfway between promising new beers and excellent dependables.

 

I see he is from Wisconsin where they just started distribution of Green Flash so I would assume it wasnt old.

 

With new breweries opening all the time, older breweries expanding distribution to new areas and brewers trying new and exciting things, it's a safe bet that at this rate we'll never run out of tempting options. It's been stated before but it's worth repeating: now is a fantastic time to be a fan of craft beer!!

 

I never run out of things to try, especially since I've moved twice in the last two years. But, even when I go back to home (Knoxville TN, one of the worse beer places due to ABV caps and a current, but slowly growing, interest in craft beer) I find new stuff to try. Don't worry that you didn't like Green Flash, I've disliked everything from them I've tried so far (IPA, Stout, Rayon Vert, and Red Ale something). Happy future hunting.

 

No, there is too much to try.

 

I'm going to take this post a step further, not only is there never too many good beers to try, there are too many worthy beers to age. I don't have a cellar, so I converted a mini-frigde to cellar temp thinking this is good, limiting me spending-wise due to capacity and can't put anything corked in a fridge for an extended period...I recently purchased a second mini-fridge...cheers to great beer

 

I think that the only way that you could stop finding promising new beers is to stop looking. We live in a wonderful time! So many beers out there!

 

With an unlimited budget I would probably never run out of promising new beers to buy.

Then again, if my budget were unlimited, I might buy all the promising beers and run out of them.

hmm...

 

This is how unintentional cellaring happens. Buying more sheeyat than one can drink, and especially one trying to slim down. Ug. FML.
