Do You Ever Stop Finding Promising New Beers?

At this point since I have not been into craft beer for a long time I still find things that get my attention. My beer bunker has exploded over the last year or so. I love new stuff and never tire of searching.

 

no

 

This

 

And this.

 

Promising new beers? No shortage. But delivering on that promise? Maybe 50/50.

 

Ask your local beer guy. If they know their stuff you'll never leave empty handed or without something that they know you'll like!

 

FIFY. :-)

 

Thanks for that. You ARE correct. The one I had last night WAS amazingly good!

 

Ahhh. That explains it. Rayon Vert is not a favorite of mine either. Have a few in the back of the fridge still. Much prefer GI Matilda when filling my desire for a Belgian Style PA at 7% ABV with Brett.

That said....get the GF West Coast IPA. Try that. Then judge how you feel about GF.

 

Kind of impossible in Texas these days. New breweries every week.

 

Had a malty epiphany with jacks Abby and the dunkles dopplebock known as saxonator. Massachusetts has new craft brew projects poppin up all over and pretty much constantly, so the availability is relatively prevalent and the qual is always high as can be

 

Never ran out of new interesting beers to try, which leads to a fridge/closet full of beer that constantly grows while my consumption remains the same.

 

There's so many I haven't tried yet already being distributed to Chicago, and now both Deschutes and Kona are here! Add to that a road trip to St. Louis in a week and I can see that my journey down the road of beers less traveled a long, interesting and flavorful one. Cheers to my fellow travelers!

 

Everytime I get a little bored I just try a new style. I'm really on a Sour/Wild Ale kick right now. I am always into barrel aged beers of all styles.

 

Finding them - no...I've a lot of catching up to do. What is hard is finding the balance - buying favorites vs. new stuff to try. The new overwhelms the faves by a long shot. So many beers, so little time....consumption is a constant.

Expect that it will get harder for a new brew to knock my socks off too. Only so many can be "outstanding" or provide that beervana moment, I suspect.

 

Nope, never.

Don't beleive I'll ever find it hard to discover new beers here in Eastern PA. Even with limiting it to beers distributed here (no trading), and styles I really like, (sorry Smoked, Lagers, Marzens & Pumpkins) and a BA rating of above average (3.6+, have to draw the line somewhere), and mostly 12ozs (mixed 6packs 20% off at my preferred bottle shop), my still to try list is 3-4 times longer than my tried. And then there's the 50 or so beloved go-to beers I still get. And I STILL find new stuff on almost every bottle shop visit. It's a great time to be a craft beer drinker

 

There's a fucking cornucopia of good new beers floating around the Scotland and the rest of the UK these days. The only people I hear dismissing this reality are the creaking cranks at CAMRA.
