The "I Hate Beer" Thread

[Sacrelicio]

I went down a rabbit hole in Untappd and found myself looking at Smooj vintages and I'm still not sure what the fuck I was.looking at.

I'm on a couple Nebraska beer groups on Facebook and with my trip out there in less than two weeks, I'm reminded that subtlety is lost on those poor souls.

Everything is a gigantic DIPA, a heavy adjunct laden choco-stout or some crazy ass smooshjy fruit concoction.

I mean, so what? Let people like what they want.

Sarcasm must be dead around here. Totally cool with whatever people want to enjoy, more like I was just surprised at how different things are between two parts of the country.

The irony that the coastal elite are clambering for the lighter lagers.

I was looking for stuff to have my BIL grab at the store since he gets in before I do and I was surprised that most breweries default to doing Imperial IPAs over standard ones. Kros Strain has a solid Helles and Pilsner both in cans, which will be perfect for floating down the river all day in the sun.

Bringing a Floodland, couple cans of 3-Way and a bottle of Pliny since he's never had it before.

This resembles the Midwest. All sugar and IPAs. We have great lager and saisons, but you have to go to the source to drink a lot of em on tap.

Omaha's scene is way too young to expect mixed fermentation stuff, but I'm always caught off guard by the ramped up ABV and sugar. I mean, that stuff is here too but not as pervasive. I don't think anyone in WA does the smoothie thing, but we have a couple Great Notion taprooms in the city to make up for that lack.

And Nebraska is totally the Midwest.

Moving to KC I definitely noticed a shift in beer preferences/culture relative to Chicago.

Basically I feel like we're just behind in trends several years.

Wheat beers are also huge in Nebraska. No matter where you go you've always got Boulevard Wheat as an option alongside Bud Light and Coors Light.. I can't think of anyone that does one in the Seattle area.

That’s a shame because wheat beers are delicious. And I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to anywhere with a halfway decent beer selection that didn’t have a wheat on tap. Crowd pleaser for sure.

We are on our second case of Oberon for the season. Ope.

One big thing I miss about spending every other weekend on a lake in Michigan is the Oberon mini keg we'd kill every time.

I was on a work trip a few years back in Atlanta. It was a two-week trip, with a Sunday off right in the middle. The team went out and got hammered on Saturday night, and we were all feeling quite ripe the following morning when we met up to enjoy the day off. We decided on one of those joints with table tennis, bowling, darts, pool, bocce ball, etc.
They had Allagash White on draft, which I hadn't had in a number of years since they pulled out of FL in ~'09.
Fucking glorious. Really set us straight. Honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect beer for that particular moment in time.
Still holds a very special little place in my heart because of that day.

This is the opposite of an "I Hate Beer" post.

Farnham House has a mixed fermentation and sour program. Stuff I had last time I was there (5 years ago) was solid.

Last time I was there I went to Farnam and thought it was pretty decent. Upstream used to have one as well, I really liked the gin barrel saisons they used to have, but I think that brewer left and is now over at Jukes.
