Rhinegeist Holiday Bubbles

Hello, I'm trying to find out more about this blend from rhinegeist. Bar I work at is gonna have it this season and I wanted to know more about it.

All I've been able to find is a short description saying it's a blend of "festive fruit, vanilla, and holiday spices" which doesn't say too much about it lol. Thanks! (Edit: fixed some typos)

Does ballast point no longer distribute to Cincinnati, Ohio?

I used to love drinking grapefruit/pineapple sculpin but I’ve not been able to find it in years here.

CBS 2018 release

I’d like to gift a Founders CBS to a friend. It was released 2018, any chance it’s turned? It’s been in a steady cool environment so I think should still be good. Thoughts?

TUI beer -> where to find?

Hey! It seems like an impossible task but does anyone know where (outside of new Zealand and UK, since they don't do global deliveries) I could order TUI beer? Like 6 or a 12 lack (bottle or can, doesn't matter which)?

I live in Estonia so shopping options seem to be extremely limited.

Thank you for the attention!

Highest IBU beer?

I was curious what’s the highest IBU beer that you guys have tried, and if it was at least good? I have just started to appreciate beers with a higher IBU but want to know what the limit is lol.

Dogfish Head Seaquench

I am in love with Dogfish Head Seaquench. Is there any other beers that are similar, with some different flavor profiles? The lime and saltiness of Seaquench is so refreshing.

wtf happened to the taste of Moosehead?

Used to be my favourite beer, great taste and great price. What the hell happened? They changed the taste clearly and it’s so much worse.

Looking for Barrel Trolley Amber Ale

Hi there, been looking for many years for Barrel Trolley's Amber Ale. They make several other varieties (Nut Brown, IPA, Belgian White) but I loved the Amber Ale and was never able to find it again. Anyone know of a place to find it, or someone to contact to ask about it? Thanks in advance!

How to order beer living in the US from the Czech Republic?

I’m hoping this kind of question is okay to ask here so here goes: I want to import some beer from the Czech Republic to the US. I’ve looked online and can’t find what I need. I had my honeymoon there and I’m finding myself nostalgic for Gambrinus Original. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the 6 pack of Christmas ale that I got at H-E-B left over from last year? No head at all.

Troegs Perpetual bad batches?

I've been enjoying Troegs Perpetual IPA for quite some time, but lately, I've been disappointed with its inconsistency. I've had to return multiple cases in the past few months because they were undrinkable. Some were past the "freshest by" date, while others were within the date but just tasted off. This has made me question both my taste buds and Troegs. I'm now looking for a more reliable IPA. Can anyone recommend a comparable IPA available in the Philadelphia, PA area?

I'm trying to get into beer, but I'm having limited success——Help!

My positive experience has come in the form of fruit beers and sours. I really like Founders Rubaeus fruit beer. Recently I had Lemon Meringue Pie SMOLVERINE and I liked it well enough. If I remember right I also like Gumballhead by 3 Floyds Brewing a few years ago. That's basically it. I tried an IPA and didn't vibe with it, I've tried Heineken and didn't enjoy it. I like coffee and tried a coffee something, and also struggled with it. I'm not sure how to get into the malt flavor maybe? I don't even like the Malt Vita soda pop much.

Do you have any suggestions for fruit beers, sours, or apparently wheat ales that I could get into and are accessible? I have very little experience, so almost any suggestion would be new to me

Tips for a new beer sales rep?

A while ago I worked as a bartender at a small food/beverage company and the owner recently asked me to step in a sales rep for new product their launching at the company he owns (which makes ciders). I don't know if they're going to provide me with any materials beyond POS items and samples, but I think I have to create my own pitch decks for these products. They informed me that a previous sales rep was able to collect around 100 accounts in 2 months through remote work.

I just want to make sure that come December (when I start), I can take off running and begin contacting accounts. I've started creating a list of prospects, but plan to update that information and put in CRM whenever I make initial contact in Decemeber. However, outside of that I'm a little lost on where to start.

For any current beer reps, how do you structure your days/how would you to fit in contacting around 8 new leads/day? Also, how would you approach contacting bars and making calls face-to-face? Also, how do I make a proposal.

Beer tap handles

I recently got a 3 tap keg in my garage. I dialed it in and now want to make it my own. Where would I get genuine tap handles? Like coors light, blue moon, miller, etc? Only place I found is occasionally someone lists one on Facebook or eBay.

Worried about beer price going up under Trump?

Anyone worried about beer price going up under Trump’s tariffs? Do you think it will help local breweries?

Edit: I am hurt from all the downvotes! (I’m kidding, I get why my post appeared in a way I didn’t intend) I understand how tariffs work. I wanted to share my concern with you all. At the same time, I feel like, though I may be misguided, that beer community has a lot of people who voted for Trump. You know that “Someone I can have a beer with.” But then, it’s like WHY. I wouldn’t choose a candidate over beer price only, but we do care about it eh?

After a long day, sit down and grab a beer. Inflation makes it hard to afford beers. Did beer community fail to speak up more to peer beer drinkers, to protect our….rights to beer?

How to support Western North Carolina/Asheville craft brewers

One of the things I had loved about Asheville and WNC was the abundance and diversity of the breweries. Big or small, corporate or quirky - always fun and willing to try new things. Known as "Beer City". The destruction from Helene and the water crisis have devastated the beer community from the largest to the smallest.

I heard that some are still trying to operate or are shifting production or are being creative to stay in business.

How can we support those struggling to keep things flowing? I have mostly drank locally and want to continue to do that. Do some of the smaller breweries have outlets for product so that we can keep them going until better days. Love to know everyone's thoughts. Cheers.

USA beer that tastes similar to Terra (Korea)?

I just came back from a trip to South Korea and really enjoyed Terra (especially with the shot of soju in it). It doesn’t seem like something that’s easy to find where I live.

Does anyone have any recommendations of beers in the US that has a similar flavor to Terra or would mix well with a shot of soju?

Australian Smiths Lager beer

It’s a relatively cheap beer but does anyone else who has tried it find it enjoyable? With most cheap beer it’s usually pretty hard to go down but I find Smiths to be easy to drink. I also think it’s got a relatively sweet aftertaste to it, would anyone agree? Let me know your thoughts on it and similar beers

Need your advise: Looking for craft beer + glass which has delivery to Croatia

Hi,
I'm looking for a craft beer (preferably Belgium, but not a must) that can be delivered to Croatia. Would like to pack it with its branded glass as a gift for my husband.

I've already checked Delirum web shop, but their delivery costs >70€.

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you in advance!

I created a map of Korean craft beer.

I put most of the places that handle and sell craft beer. There are about 800 and adding more. You can add a map by installing 'Naver Map' and clicking the link. I can guarantee that this will be helpful when traveling to Korea.

Dead Rise by Flying Dog

Just picked this up because it looked like a Halloween beer on sale. Didn’t realize it’s brewed with Old Bay. Should be interesting.

Moylan’s Kilt-lifter

Anyone had this beer? They used to sell it at the grocery store by my house, was always my favorite. I’d drink the bombers all day and I’ve been thinking about it lately. Looked online and the total wine near me(well, 30min drive…) may have it.

Found a few old beers lurking in a wine cellar

I've got 2 2014 heavy seas Yule Tides at 9% and 1 Elysian Dragonstooth stout at 7%, brewed pre Anheuser-Busch sellout, not sure exact date but it would have had to be before 2015.

Should I crack something open or let it ride for the nostalgia?

Edit: I also found a Firestone 2014 dry hopped saison at 7.5% not too bad on the sediment
