3 Floyds Replacements?

It's no ZD don't get me wrong, but its a good substitute, cheaper, and you can almost always find it. Hell, I bought a 12 pack at Binny's last week and it was on sale for $13!

 

You just sold me Im going to stop at Binnys and buy myself a 12pk tonight

 

Odd Side's Citra Pale Ale tastes nearly identical to ZD up front (but fades a bit quicker). Probably only available in Michigan though.

 

Good luck, it is very difficult to replace a FFF beer once you get addicted to it. There are a lot of great beers out there, but it is just not the same.

 

Two Hearted, Cane and Ebel, Sidekick

 

Sucks, Oberon, Alchemy hour.

 

Daisy Cutter, for all three

 

No way! Two Brothers' Resistance across the board!

 

If you are just looking to make money, then why would you ask for similar beers? It would help if you tell us your location. I would recommend going to some local breweries. It seems like you are looking for readily available craft beers that sell that arent mainstream. There are a lot of those, just talk to any local bar that sells craft beer, and they can point you in the right direction.

 

Perhaps it's for the same kind of customers who'd order these FFF offerings- he would want something similar to "replace" what these brews bring to the bar in case he can't get any kegs of FFF that week or month.

 

Why? Did the brewery burn down again?

 

Akari Shogun for Gumballhead. In fact, it's better. The other two are just really bitter IPAs, though people call them pale ales. If you had Firestone Walker IPA, or DBA, I'd order that over Alpha King. I'd order any Pipeworks IPA/APA over Zombie Dust.

With Pipeworks and Half Acre in town, I kinda feel 3F is irrelevant. I never buy their beer anymore. It's overpriced, and I've been treated like crap so many times at the brewery. I guess that I, and my friends, are done with them. Chicago can more than hold its own. 3F still has that "je ne sais quoi" going for it, though I think that's more about beer from 10 years ago.

And I heard they burned down anyway.

 

Oh, this i'm an expert at!

Alpha King: Firestone Pale 31, Half Acre Daisy Cutter, Bear Republic Racer 5
Gumballhead: Boulevard 80 Acre, Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin, Southern Tier Hopsun, Half Acre Akari Shogun
Pride & Joy: Stone Levitation, Arcadia Angler's Ale, Grand Teton Sweet Grass
Robert The Bruce: Arcadia Loch Down, Founders Dirty Bastard, Moylan's Kilt Lifter
Jinx Proof: Stiegl Pils, Augustiner Edelster
Zombie Dust: Summit Saga, He'Brew Hop Manna, Pipeworks Citra Ninja, Victory Headwaters
Arctic Panzer Wolf: Firestone Walker Double Jack, Green Flash Imperial IPA
Dreadnaught: Wrapping a squashed grapefruit around a gold bar, punching yourself in the face with it

 

Dales Pale Ale for Alpha King?!? Not even close. IMO Dales sucks.

 

Oude Geuze jumped the shark long ago

 

+1. Utterly, completely different.

As for Little Sumpin Sumpin, they are both hoppy wheat-ish ales, but they don't taste alot alike imo. Oberson I love, and I like Gamballhead to but they are nothing alike. I hated HopSun. Tough one on the Gumballhead.

I actually thought Nugget Nectar tasted kinda like Alpha King, and I also think Victory Hop Devil tastes a bit like Alpha King (both have a carmelly undertone and a sweet floral hops taste) but neither is a perfect match at all. Racer 5 is pretty close, but more dry and less malty than AK.

Never had Zombie Dust so can't comment.

 

isn't jinx proof an attempt at a dortmunder? great lakes dortmunder gold beats the shit out of jinx proof anyway and that's what i'd recommend there.

 

Don't like the Dreadnaught, Vav?
