How often do you drink shelf beer?

No I get the point. He was lumping everyone who enjoys rare beers in the Douche category.

 

My clubs don't touch those awful mats. They only strike through the finest of Bermuda. And I only hit brand new ProV1's at the range.

 

My refined palate can only handle Whalez if lesser beer enters it's immediately rejected and if I somehow muscle it down my stomach refuses it and I vomit it's really bad so yeah walez bruh

 

Again, I think you are clearly missing the point. That is not what was said, or implied. There's no point in taking this discussion any further, because if I have to explain it to you, then you probably won't understand anyways.

 

I dont drink beers that cast a shadow

 

Walez reside behind the counter bruh keeps them clean from the unwashed philistines

 

No please do. I'll even ignore the fact that you insulted me when there was no need to do so.

He said he a would like to call all rare beers douche beers. From that I assumed he meant that people who drink douche beers must be douches.

What did you take away form his comment?

 

I'm appalled by all the peasants drinking shelf beer in this thread. So Savage.

 

Possibly the best quote I have read on here. +100 points to Gryffindor.

 

I may be a choad, but those are not rare enough for me.

 

I recently came to the realization that I pretty much only drink seasonal releases these days. Even from my favorite breweries, for example, I hardly ever pick up Founder's Porter or FBS, I just wait until November and start crushing Founder's Imperial Stout. I'm not out hunting or only drinking whalez like Heady Topper or Dark Lord or whatever, but, to me, most breweries' seasonal beers are a cut above their year-round line up. The nice thing is, there's so many great breweries with seasonal beers at the right times of the year that I can basically always get something awesome. But in these summer months, that's when things can get a bit dicey. Around this time of year is when I enjoy a lot of Narwhal and Ten Fidy to get my summer Imperial Stout fix.

Am I a beer elitist? I don't know. Not yet, I don't think, but with my consideration toward starting soon to order direct from Mikkeller and other online stores... I'm probably well on way.

Love this thread, laughed a few times. I'm in the little bit of both. However some places that aren't beer stores have a really nice selection.

 

Wait, you mean you actually go to a store, in person, and purchase malt beverages?? I have brewers bring their beer to me. If they're lucky I wont DP in front of them.

If you want walez, you gotta step up your game, you must be small-ballen bro.

 

I say: here are the last two weeks' worth of non-homebrewed beers I drank:

Belgo Anise Imperial Russian Stout (Stone)
Shadow Of A Doubt (Russian River)
Vanderghinste Oud Bruin
Billionaire (Clown Shoes)
Evil Twin Justin Blåbær (Evil Twin)
Lee Noir (De Garde)
Batch 100 (Enegren Brewing)
Negro Modelo
Bretta Rose (Firestone)
Populist (Eagle Rock)
2012 Abyss (Deschutes)

 

My weekly beer selection includes a mix of craft brews and AAL, and 99% of what I drink every weekend is "shelf beer."

 

It's a mix, but it's far more rare that I hunt for rare beers of the Import or Craft stripe. Maybe being in the 40-60 age bracket and a bit "set in my ways", nowadays, helps?

P.S. A fresh 12 of "Carling's" finest is calling out my name as I type this, yo.

 

I really wish I had been able to make it to the Bretta Rose Release

 

Whalez? Straight shelfie homie?

 

Is fresh green flash a whale? Those are almost a white whale to me. I drank some fresh GF last week, so yeah maybe whalez only.
