The Beer Thread

Was only able to grab 2 bottles due to the 'limit 2 per customer' and the fact that the liquorstore owner was right there during checkout. I know the guy that checked me out and he said to come back tomorrow and he'll sell me up to (3) 4-packs tomorrow if they have any left.

8.50 a 22oz (750ml)? Fuck that's cheap. Even a 12oz that's cheap.

It's actually a 16.9oz bottle fwiw. Depends on where you are and what taxes are applied obviously but up here in the PNW $8.50ish for a 22oz of good DIPA is pretty standard.

Had this last weekend and it was absolutely delicious. For an 11.5% beer it was incredibly smooth. I am actually going to run to BevMo to see if I can find some more of it.

I got it from my cousin, who very amusingly was called a hipster by Alex. My cousin was so pissed off about it, and I laughed my ass off at him. Good times.

I tried this at a beer festival in Alameda yesterday. It is surprisingly smooth for the alcohol content. Not sure I would enjoy an entire bottle though.

Tried the Watermelon Dorado on tap - at a spot on Cincinnati of all places. Very good. Ballast Point kills it with these fruit IPAs.

I had the watermelon dorado last night. Wasn't a fan at all. You guys are crazy.

Wandered into a new liquor store and noticed they have grapefruit sculpin along with a few other ballast point brews. I have never seen them here before. Then I saw it's $28 for a 6 pack and I understood why.

Lol. I think they're maybe $16 or something for a 6 pack here. Expensive but not insane like that.

So I'm doing the keto thing now, and beer seems very costly carbwise. I'm digging through thislistand all the yummy looking stuff is of course towards the bottom. Anyone here ketoing have a good regular ale to indulge in now and then? I love hoppy IPAs.

They're distribution definitely seems further. I saw them everywhere out in Ohio last week.

You're SOL when it comes to beer on a low carb diet bro.

Bud Select, Mich Ultra and other shitty low cal light beers are your only real option if you want to drink more than one or two.

Two Hearted Ale on that list you linked is a very good beer if you can find it in your area but I think that list is wrong. A google search shows it as 11g of carbs per 12 oz serving, not 6.7 like that list shows.

"Barkeep, can I get a pint of 'America' please?"

Budweiser to rename beer to 'America' this summer

Bud Light = Canada.

If you're aiming to get drunk then get Budweiser(or PBR).... America it is then. Don't waste good beer on the getting drunk cause enjoy that stuff.

Thanks I will see if I can find two hearted. I know for sure I've had snake dog's ipa and I think it was pretty good, and the local place has it.

I'd only have one every now and then, so shouldn't be too bad
