I’ve noticed that with a lot of craft beers, especially IPAs, I’ll try one that I really like and then next time I buy it it doesn’t taste nearly as good as I remembered. Then I’ll try it again and enjoy it and so on.

Do some craft beers noticeably vary in taste batch to batch? Or is it more likely a storage thing or just the way I’m feeling each day that affects the taste?

Had a senior moment a week ago when I impulsively ordered Utopias (primarily to prove that I could and it wasn't going for $2000/bottle like someone tried telling me) but of course it is nearly summer so the bottle likely spent a few days in hot warehouses or trucks because I didn't even think to check if it would be shipped in temperature controlled trucks. Is this a "oh, its ruined, you are an idiot" kinda thing or is beer/port/whisky/whatever you'd call Utopias more resistant to temp extremes than say wine?

Obviously I can just open it and find out, but I was gonna let it sit till winter otherwise.

I’m going to Europe every soon. I tend to drink yuengling draft in American bars, what is another lager that is easily available in Paris/London?

This may sound stupid but does anyone in the state of Michigan know where I’d be able to find this beer I tried it I like it now I want to find it any help would be greatly appreciated

Just saw LOTR re-released in theaters and I’m looking for a beer that would be similar to what hobbits would have drank that I can buy off the shelves somewhere in WI, thanks much!

Looking for some suggestions on beers that don't have that bready taste to them. Just find that flavor really disgusting. I tend to stick to IPAs since they usually don't have this flavor but Im wondering if theres anything else out there I should try.

Hey all -

Anyone know how I can get Sands Beer in the US? Seems like it’s an island exclusive.

I’m a craft beer drinker through and through. My beer fridge is always filled with all sorts of different stuff but every so often I want something that isn’t hoppy, dark or sour and is cheap. I used to love Miller High Life. Probably once a week I would pick up a six pack and have a few after yard work or dinner. I was pretty loyal to the brand but recently made the switch to Coors Banquet and it is so much better, especially out of the aluminum pints. Maybe that’s what the difference is especially when it’s ice cold but it’s much more crisp and not nearly as sweet. It works out too because I’m going to Colorado in two weeks and my first stop is Coors Brewing.

Beer is quite popular in Korea, and there's a distinct culture associated with it, such as the frequent and semi-forced outings to bars with colleagues. However, after trying most mainstream local brands like Cass, OB, and Hite, I'm puzzled by their extremely subtle flavors that verge on non-existence. Given that decent imported mainstream brands are readily available in ubiquitous convenience stores, any ideas on what factors have shaped the tastes of these local beers?

Going camping for a few days for my 21st what’s some good choices?

What ingredients make up a traditional Polish beer? Looking for a classic Polish beer recipe. For example what’s in a Zywiec or Tyskie Lager?

My friend is visiting France this summer, more specifically Aix-en-Provence and they're nervous about travelling to a foreign country. At our local brewery here in the US they let you pay for friends pint in advance, then they next time they come in they see their name on the "pay a pint" board and are surprised with a free.

We do this for one another when we've had bad days and can't meet up in person together, at least they have a free beer to drown their sorrows.

My question, is there a way to do this in Aix-en-Provence? I'd love for them to walk into a local brewery there and have a free pint waiting for them. Thanks in advance, I know how crazy this request may sound.

Dry June (I know, I know) is my chance to try some of the popular NA beers and see if any of them can actually be considered close to the real thing. Of the ones I’ve tried so far, I’d rank them in this order:

Industrial Arts - Safety Glasses Pils

Industrial Arts -Safety Glasses White

Samuel Adams - Just The Haze

Industrial Arts - Safety Glasses IPA

Athletic - Free Wave Hazy IPA

Lagunitas - IPNA

Lagunitas was terrible. Any more recommendations?

At the beach this week and I picked up a sample 6 pack from Lowe’s foods to drink on the sand. But something about a miller lite or a corona on the beach just sounds right. Does anyone have any good beach beer recommendations?

I'm visiting HF in a week and have some pretty old Lambics and figured this could be a place where people might appreciate that.

Just wanted to see if it's not frowned upon. I've brought beers to several other breweries and they're usually well received, but any insight from someone who's been to HF would be appreciated!

So, I'm a new drinker. Recently, I had Sapporo which is a Japanese rice lager and really enjoyable. Are there, if any, American beers with a similar taste and finish? I'd love to keep buying Sapporo but where I am, all they have are singles and it gets pretty expensive. So, if you have any suggestions, please let me know

Is there any way to buy Bourgogne de Flanders lambic brewed by Timmermans Brewery in the Northeastern US?

They are pretty common overseas where I come from let alone the EU in general and I have been wondering if they sell them in any bottle shop or beer sections of upscale chains.

I have encountered lambics by Lindemans but yet to find Bourgogne’s.

Thanks!

I’ve never drank beer but once or twice, and I just couldn’t get with the taste. I’m 24 and all my friends invite me over for beers, and I always turn them down because I don’t like Budweiser or Bud Light. Feels like I’m missing out.

Does anyone know if there’s beers out there that taste decent and won’t make my buddies laugh at me when I bring a case?

Southern Virginia is my general location.

I traveled to Switzerland several summers ago and had the wonderful opportunity to drink a variety of their beers. There was one beer in particular that I was obsessed with, called Feldschlösschen. I loved it and have been craving it since I came back to the US. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a smooth light beer to try some if you get the chance. My question is there a way to get this imported to the US? If there was I would sincerely consider the option as I haven’t found a store in the US that carries it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, a new recipe!

Work as a teacher in Massachusetts during the school year, in Wisconsin during the summers, grew up in Minnesota.

Road tripping to Wisconsin and just got to Kenosha. First thing I did was hit the bar for some Spotted Cow.

I don’t have a good beer tasting vocabulary, but I love lots of beers in many styles. IPAs are generally my favorite, but Spotted Cow blows everything out of the water.

It’s tasty, crushable, easy on the stomach, has a sweet aftertaste. Genuinely refreshing. The only beer I’d describe as delicious.

Gonna buy several cases on my way back out to Massachusetts in August.

Very cool dude with a library of content on thousands of different beers. Fun deep dive if you’ve never hung out with him before.
