What beer are you drinking right now? Part III

[Roscoe East]

Ballast Point Brewing Company's Sculpin IPA

...never even heard of it before I saw the 6-pack in the local store last night. Not bad. Not great, but it'll do in a pinch.

PBR on draft! Love it for something cheap and simple. Nothing fancy, but I'm okay with that. I've had enough to appreciate both ends of the spectrum, and prefer either end to the middle!

Whenever anyone gives me **** for drinking PBR I just scream at them "HEY MAN IT WON A ****ING BLUE RIBBON, OK?!" The reactions are priceless. Seriously though it's my favorite cheap beer. Due to it being one of the few cheap beers that tastes like, well, beer. Not just carbonated water. Lol.

Yeah, it's popular enough to stay around, but not popular enough to charge as much as other American adjuncts. Plus, like you said, it has taste! How novel! Love PBR, it's one of my go to's for cheap, as well as Stag or Stroh's. Anybody else drink Stroh's?

There's a bar that a few of my friends like that has big bottles of PBR dry at around 3$. It's a cheap way to get drunk.

Whoa. Never seen that before. Almost as weird as the first time I saw PBR Light.

I think it's Canada exclusive. We're hip like that.

Probably. I've never seen big bottles of PBR like that either.

 

[kleinenenten]

I'd like to try some! Only in Canada you say... Guess I'll have to get the guys together and start aiming for that world tour...

Quebec exclusive even. Well maybe not quite exclusive but those big beers are extremely more common in Quebec than in the rest of Canada. Do they still make Laurentide? I went on a school trip to Montreal in 1989 and drinking loads of that in the 1l bottles. Don't think the trip did my French skills much good, but it was fun. In terms of French language skills, we would have been better off going somewhere less cosmopolitan than Montreal because we'd have been forced to use French more.

I recently had some of this, brewed in Halifax:

It was really good. On par with Dogfish Head 90 or Sculpin if you ask me. Two of them put me in a bit of a haze.

You're the first person I've ever encountered that has ever been ambivalent about Sculpin (or double IPAs in general). Usually a love it or hate it type of thing.

I've yet to taste a disappointing propeller! Their porter is pretty good, I often buy some when I'm in New-B.

As for the Laurentide, they still make it I think, but I've never had one.

 

[Unprofessional]

Left Hand Milk Stout. Yummy.

 

[Ziltoid]

I've been neglecting this thread a lot the past weeks. Don't worry, I had plenty of nice beers.

Helping my roommate move in today, but after I'm having:

I did not get around it yesterday, I'm having it now. It's quite a brew, makes me reconsider my stance on IPAs.

Leipziger Gose. It's a light, tart tasting beer from eastern Germany brewed with coriander and salt.

 

[spade2you]

I was under the impression that spices were verboten in German beers.

Well it's from Leipzig, they get a little wild there.

They don't enforce it very strictly anymore. The post-reunification influx of East German beers (they did not enforce Reinheitsgebot in the former DDR) may have lead to revision in 1993 which expanded the requirements, thus throwing the proverbial barn doors open. Two years ago we were in Berlin and I was served Berliner Weisse bottled with raspberry rather than on the side as they had to do it earlier. Plus they served it with a straw! Nonetheless I felt compelled to try it at an an outdoor cafe by the River Spree in the old Mitte quarter of town. (see below). I'll try any local beer at least once!

Now this one I enjoyed much more when we were in nearby Potsdam. Köstritzer Schwarzbier!

I'm in Canada, and I've never seen that kind of PBR bottle anywhere.
