Maybe I got a little high, so sharing here lol. I had my first beer, a Michigan local Cerveza, alone while coding, and it was the best feeling ever.

Update: Wow, I thought I was going to be a bit high, but it is just nothing

I tried many beers from around the world and liked Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier the most. Absolutely amazing. Came across its another variant, so what is the difference between Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier vs Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel. Tried looking it up, couldn't find a proper answer. So here I am.

I understand that the majority of the beer is water, but how do the other components (malt, hops, yeast, and possibly other additives) come into play? Are those also just considered water with dissolved materials?

My favorite pumpkin beer is Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale. May be my fave overall beer even. I haven't been able to find any for the last few years in north Texas so i keep trying other pumpkin beers and oktoberfest beers. I tried Jack-o tonight. It's much too sweet for me. I've read that others love it though. Each to his own. If anyone knows of a beer that's similar to the Harvest Pumpkin Ale, please post it here. Maybe I can avoid buying 6 packs of beer i won't enjoy drinking. Thanks!

I bought a can at the LCBO (Ontario Canada). It was absolutely horrible. Very strong and acrid, no actual pecan taste. Has positive reviews on the LCBO website, but they're all from three years ago.

came across a real neat one but it's got no info and google images has no answer for me.

Going there tomorrow. I’d like to find some German beer or good local tap room. The wife wants a decent meal. Not typical bar food. Suggestions please…….

Hi all,

I’m getting married in April and I’m trying to decide on a beer for the wedding reception. I know exactly what I want but unfortunately the place doesn’t allow cans for “aesthetic reasons” 🙄.

I’m a big fan of Stormtrooper Space Opera and Brewdog Wingman, but they only come in cans.

Can anyone help me with a selection of similar beers to these that I can try and choose for the reception?

Thanks a bunch!!

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 have two 2day pass available

I’ve always wondered if I was the only one who preferred reds over almost any cheap beer

Looking for some much needed recommendations on your favorites!

Any advice/recommendations?

There don’t seem to be a ton of breweries in Flagstaff (less than 10) and I do have a full day. I did find the Flagstaff Brewery Trail: https://craftbeerflg.com/

Will also be in Sedona before and after.

Thanks much, Beer Warriors!

Any good beers I should seek out? I like everything with the exception of sours, really. Just not my bag. I'm definitely looking out for a good Oktoberfest style.

Hi everybody -

The team at Burial Brewing in Asheville has been feeding the community and directing folks to fundraisers as they recover from the catastrophic flooding of Hurricane Helene (I know others like DSSOLVR are helping, but they're who I follow on Instagram). I emailed them to see if I could donate to them to help them with their efforts, and as promised, here's the email I received:

Good Morning Folks,

I want to start by saying thank you to each of you who reached out to offer support. It’s been overwhelming to keep up with in the best possible way. Hearing from you is keeping us optimistic and moving forward. I’d also like to thank you for your patience as we tried to wrap our heads around where and how to direct these offers.

We’ve spent the past few days sorting through the abundance of information that’s out there and have settled on the following as a start.

For those looking to support Burial Beer Co.:

• Overview - As of Tuesday, October 1st, we have been in contact with 100% of Burial's Asheville Staff. Everyone is safe and accounted for. We're considering ourselves incredibly lucky that our Asheville locations did not sustain any major damage. Unfortunately, many of our friends and neighbors cannot say the same. Our timeline on reopening any Burial AVL locations will largely rely on the city's ability to re-establish a potable and running water supply, which we've heard may take weeks and up to months. That being said, our main focus right now is supplying hot meals, cold water, dry goods, feminine products, gas, and electricity to both our staff and the community.
• Physical Donations -

Both our Charlotte and Raleigh Taprooms are accepting donations that will be delivered to our South Slope Asheville Taproom. Additionally, UPS and FedEx have resumed service to Asheville. If you're interested and able to send dry goods, feminine products, or bottled water, our address is:

• 40 Collier Ave, Asheville, NC 28801
• Volunteering -

We are thankful to have the resources on our staff to handle our limited Asheville operations at the moment. For those of you looking to volunteer, we'd like to direct you to: volunteer@buncombecounty.org.

• Financial Support -
  • GoFundMe for Asheville Hospitality Staff - Our Charlotte Taproom Manager, Alissa Gavin, has created a fund that will benefit our AVL Bartenders and Kitchen Employees currently unable to work.
  • Charlotte & Raleigh Taprooms - Both locations are currently open with standard operations. Come say hi to our teams, enjoy some pours, and take some beer to-go.
  • Online Shop - Our Online Shop for Beer and Merchandise Shipping is active. We're working to catch up on orders received during the storm, as well as the new orders coming in each day. Shipping will likely be a bit slower than you're used to from us, but we will get you the goods as soon as we possibly can.

I know this is a lot, but please let me know if you have any questions. I will do my best to get back to everyone as quickly as possible.

Thank you, The Burial Beer Co. Team

I will be downtown using rideshare so won't go very far. Just looking for any suggestions I'd appreciate it!

I’ve got to say, I’ve had some great times at ColdFire Brewing Company in Eugene, Oregon. They make solid beer, and I’ve enjoyed supporting a local spot. But tonight? They really lost me with one of the most pretentious policies I’ve ever come across in any brewery.

I’ve been to breweries all over the country and made the same simple request at all of them: half IPA, half cider. I like the sweetness of the cider mixed with the hoppiness of the IPA—it’s a combo that works for me. But apparently, ColdFire doesn’t care what its customers like. When I ordered this, the server told me it’s company policy not to honor requests like this because (I’m paraphrasing here), the brewers work “really hard” to create flavor profiles, and customers need to “honor that.” Yeah, really.

What? I thought I walked into a brewery, not the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. “No mixed drinks for you!” I made that exact comparison to the server, who looked at me like I’d just insulted their entire family. Seriously, though, the snobby disdain in the response was just off-putting.

And here’s the thing: I’ve never had a pub, bar, or brewery deny this simple request, which I’ve made dozens of times over many years at all kinds of places. But ColdFire? They’re so wrapped up in their self-importance that they actually enforce this ridiculous policy, as if they’re doing us a favor by refusing what we like.

And let’s get one thing straight—denying a customer’s request—even if it seems a bit weird—should NEVER be a company policy at a food and beverage establishment or anywhere in the service industry. The customer’s preferences reign supreme, especially over the pride and ego of the chefs or, in this case, the brewers. Customers come to enjoy themselves, not be told their tastes are wrong.

FOOD AND DRINK IS PERSONAL. What tastes good to one person might taste like absolute trash to another. People alter their food and drinks to suit their own tastes all the time. Imagine a steakhouse refusing to give you salt because “the chef seasoned it to perfection,” or an ice cream shop rejecting your request for two different flavors because “our chef determined those don’t go together.” It’s absurd, right? But here we are.

ColdFire, you’ve officially become one of the most pretentious and out-of-touch establishments in Eugene. Congratulations. Newsflash: customers come to enjoy themselves, not to bow down to some snobby, self-important idea of what “should” be good. And the fact that I’ve never had a single other place deny this request? That just makes your policy all the more ridiculous.

So, has anyone else had this experience? Is this really the hill ColdFire wants to die on? Curious to hear if this is a one-off or if other people have noticed a shift in the customer experience here. Also curious if anyone knows the name of the owner(s).

My dad’s birthday is coming up, and his favorite beer is from Laos (I can’t remember the name..Maybe Lager? Beerlaos? Something like that). Does anyone know of a market in Texas (or a website) where I can get some for his birthday?

My mouth is sensitive to bitterness, so Heineken and Budweiser don't do it for me. I'm looking for a brand of pale lager that's similar to Modelo Especial or Asahi Super Dry, which both taste like beer but are not bitter.

I've heard a few people say dark lager is less bitter than pale lager, but that's a topic for another thread.

Hello, I’m looking for a suggestion for a beer. I’ve really come to love Rogue dreamland since I first had it at their brewery in Newport Oregon. Now of course my luck would have it, it’s been discontinued. So before I finish off the last 6 I’ll ever see of it I’d like to find a lager that is similar in taste and is crisp. Not afraid of a cheap beer as well. Love me a Montucky cold snack! I live in Oregon if that helps the suggestion. Thank you!

https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41148694/beer-shortage-ahead-3-products-that-will-be-most-impacted-by-port-strike

These are the sectors that could be the most impacted by the strike:

Food and Beverage: The dozen or so U.S. ports affected by the strike import nearly $100 million a month of beverages and vinegar, according to a report from the Washington Post. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation via the Washington Post, 80% of all imported beer, whiskey, scotch and more come through the ports will be impacted by the strike.

Constellation Brands. The maker of Modelo, is one of the companies that imports the most beer to the U.S., although Constellation may be able to avoid disruptions caused by the port through ground transportation from Mexico. Heineken NV and other European beverage companies may feel more of the strike’s affects.

The longshoreman strikes on the East Coast may cause the prices on imported beer, wine, and spirits to increase, as well as supply to decrease. Some of the more popular imported brands like Modelo, Corona, Guinness and Heineken may see price increases and be harder to find. If you regularly drink imported beer, you may want to stock up in case prices increase.

I am searching for a picture of the old Canadian and Coors light get2gether packs from the 2000's. I swear I seen a picture not too long ago but I cannot for the life of me find one. If anyone could find one is love them forever!

Never tried it before but I think it will be fun. I heard it's a good activity for tourists. Does anyone have any tips for a good one to bring my partner to?
