Anything that can come close to it or better?!

Hey guys, Purchased a can of rude elf reserve last year around this time of year, It was bottled in march of 2023. Now it does say drink fresh and do not age on the bottle though im curious as this has been sitting on my shelf in room temp for the past year now. Do you think i should toss it or try to crack it open?

I know that most beers say do not age however its not because its dangerous just bc of taste.

What do you think?

“Anybody know what im talking about- idk the name of it but trying to figure it out. The metal case of beer that has black lettering and like red something on top of it and you have to like break open the case to get to the beer”

Not sure how helpful this is to anyone but if yk what the hell hes talking about lmk😹

Controversial opinion but I think that Czech beers are the best in the world. You can't prove me wrong. You just can't beat a good Czech lager. Fact. They are so good that no other beers come even remotely close to Czech ones.

Thinking I'm finally going to open on New Years. Anyone had this recently and want to share experience at that 14-15 year mark? How was it?

Where can I find the best selection of Belgians in DFW? I know Spec’s is good, anywhere else I should know if?

I used to drink it semi regularly about three years ago and remember enjoying it very much. Bright, crisp flavor with a nice finish of orange peel.

I haven’t had access to it due to moving for a few years and recently found some when out of town. I honestly couldn’t believe it was even the same beer when I tried it. It tastes more like an American mass produced domestic beer now (almost similar to a Budweiser? Don’t quote me on that lol).

Nothing at all like a white ale/belgian/witbier.

I've been wanting to try it but it's so expensive, it's advertised as "The golden standard of light beer" so surely it must be better than most light beer on the market, I just wanted some opinions on it

It is a very good Belgian Style Abbey Ale, and pretty cheap for such high quality: 750ml, $8 or $9 dollars at most places that carry it.

It tastes fancy without being too expensive.

I am not a big beer fan, but I typically enjoy a lot of the fall flavors.

Is there a particular way to keep them “fresh” for an extended period, so I could enjoy them throughout the year? If I buy some off the shelf now, and keep them in a dark cabinet, could I put them in the fridge in a few months and enjoy them in the spring? If there is a way, are cans better than bottles?

Any tips/suggestions appreciated!

Cheers! 🍻

They changed the art on the box and can, and honestly it just doesn’t taste the same either. Were they trying to save money on ingredients or production time?

Still got a few bottles left and it’s November now!

Still delicious!

Hi there. Planning a wedding and having trouble picking a beer list. I can choose 3 from this list:

• Budweiser

• Miller Lite
• Miller High Life
• Michelob Ultra
• Coors Light
• Coors Banquet
• Yuengling
• Blue Moon

I also can choose one from this craft list in addition to the above:

Any input would be great. Leaning Juicy Truth or Prosperity Wheat for craft.

Was gifted a bottle some years back, unopened. Just curious how rare it is, as I still have it stored away!

hi!! i’m 21 (female) and i sorta messed up and was a little bit mean to my bf (24) last weekend. we’re going out tomorrow and i want to do something nice for him that he won’t expect as an apology. i always bake for him, so i thought getting him a nice beer would be nice since he likes beer haha. i need some recommendations because i know absolutely nothing about alcohol.

We had a new establishment open up down the street— one of those places with a zillion cans of beer and a few on tap. Nice selection. Guy at counter recommended a beer on tap so I ordered it, and a pretzel, and my husband ordered a beer. We walked over to a table and when I was setting the beer down, I misjudged and spilled about half of it— total bummer. The proprietor came over and cleaned up the table, but made no mention of the beer. Was it wrong that I was surprised he didn’t offer to fill my glass back up? I wouldn’t have expected him to crack a new can for me, but this was on tap. What say you, beer drinkers of Reddit?

My friend and I absolutely cherished this one beer we used to find at a chain called Earth Fare in the States about a decade ago. Neither of us can remember the name or evidently [correct] enough details to turn it up online. Hoping someone will know what I'm talking about so my friend and I can hopefully find it and enjoy it again.

Very, very old looking bottle design; not perfectly cylindrical, but wider and stouter. Bottle maybe had a little bit of embossed text? The one we found was a dark beer, I want to say oat stout. From the UK. I believe the label said how it was brewed in an old church or at least used the well of an old church/abbey. These details keep turning up Sam Smith but that's not the one. Sam Smith has a cylindrical bottle and the label covers more of it. The fabled beer didn't have the yellow color scheme either. I'm fairly confident it was in fact from the UK and not a Belgian one but perhaps that's memory playing tricks.

Hoping that rings a bell to someone because I'd kill to find it again, or at least know what it was. Thank you!

I live in Minnesota and always gift my friend a can of beer for her birthday. We like lighter beers which all would taste something like water, but I’m still looking for something worth trying due to some special quality - good of its kind, extra element of flavor via light hops/fruit, etc

Any recommendations?

Good evening I am trying to figure out a way to use my space more efficiently in my chest freezer. I was thinking a spring setup to push the bottles up vertically appreciate any ideas! Thanks. (Small chest freezer)

I always pour it like any other beer but Mexicans beers, most of times, produce so much foam it looks like a latte. It’s like the Mexican love of soda has gone to beer too?

Can some explain? I’ve been questioning my sanity over this. It’s not every Mexican beer, but they are the ones that foam the most in my experience.

Hi all, can you help me identify this beer? I can’t deal with this! Thank you 🙏🏼

Is there any other variety pack on earth like this? 12 different beers, 3/4ths of them not sold outside of the pack, so far all really good. How do they make this, logistically? It seems crazy to make 8 or 9 beers just for the this pack released in smallish quantities once a year.

Hello,

Does anybody know how many kinds of Desperados beer are there and where you can buy them?

Thanks Cheers

Thread shitting is encouraged! Have fun, talk about your weekend plans, let us know what you will be drinking. Post pictures and memes.

/r/Beer chat has moved from the abandoned IRC channel to our official Discord server. So, come say hello.

I was trying to make a room temp beer cold fast and accidentally forgot about it. Ended up leaving it in there too long and now it tastes like a beer slushie. Did I mention it's flat? 🤢

I’ve tried several beers since I’ve lived here and they all taste off. I don’t know what it is. At least they’re not all 3.2% anymore, but damn Utah, do better!
