What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

Jimmy, I see that have Kelso Beer there. Give that a try. I've tried their IPA and thought it was outstanding. Plus, if you do like it it, pleas pick me up a few cans. I can't find that out in Jersey.

So what am I supposed to do with these.

Save them up for after BIYF - consume them as The Rite of Spring.
 
Cute marketing!!! "Industrial" IPA... Can a day laborer afford enough of this to get him fucked up enough to dull the pain of his arthritic hands???


Just bustin chops man... I will keep my eye out for this.... Never saw it or never heard of it
 
^So what does that mean? FP blows compared to NN & Hi Res? What are the results of this taste test.
 
well, FP can stand on its own - think we've agreed on that.
It may just be an unfair comparison to special batch beers.

As far as the taste test - the NN is the smooth operator, and the HR is the edgy dude. Really depends on the mood. If they were always available, probably would have NN in the frige, but i'd miss the mischief......

as far as:
its a notorious proposition that planet earth gained a new religion.

it was a reflex.

I know exactly what you mean. I love FP. But I made the mistake of drinking it after the Carton 077xx and it just couldn't hang.

Rookie mistake

I learned a while ago...start with the less powerful beer and work up. If you start with an imperial or a double then less powerful beers are gonna taste like shitwater after.

Start on the lighter side and work up the complexity/ ibu scale

huh, didn't realize that. thanks for the heads up. A-B has been looking at and purchasing smaller 'craft' brewers since the late 90s. it has also owned parts of Widmer Brothers Brewing, Redhook Ale Brewery and Kona Brewing Company for quite some time- the first two since the mid-90s.

to stay OT, i am not drinking any beer right now.

Goose Island, Blue Point, now Elysian. InBev wants to swallow the entire craft market.

Then there is the goofy wanna be craft beer stuff they hide behind like Blue Moon (Molson Coors) and Shock Top (InBev).

they may want to do that but it's an impossible task. hell man, when i worked there (A-B) i remember pulling together reports and presenting them to the region VP. they showed that we weren't losing volume to miller, coors, or heineken, which is what everyone expected- it was to guys like Sam Adams and 100 other micros that popped up. it was death for all the big brewers by 1000 paper cuts. and now it's wayyyyyyyy worse.

They need to think about making beer that doesn't suck in an attempt to keep their user base.

Based on that commercial, their base are "guys" who think a beer should be yellow with bubbles in it and served by women bartenders. Now I'll drink a crappy bud can or similar from time to time but this commercial will make me think twice going forward....unless of course it's the only thing left in the cooler.
 
I wonder if VP's for Bud really drink that crap. That would be a tough call...make a 6 figures or drink good beer:hmmm:
 
Making a consistent light lager is really hard. What they do is quite amazing actually, especially given the scale. They still are the devil of the industry.
 
I feel like I'm a spokesman for this joint but man this guy can make a lineup. Jefferson liquor factory has Nugget nectar, 077xx, overhead and creeker for growler fills. The Ithaca Creeker is $24 but well worth it.
