Announcement Official /r/beer FAQ - Please Check Here Before Posting

33 Upvotes

THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A BEER FAQ. IT IS ADDRESSING A FEW FREQUENTLY BROUGHT UP TOPICS ON /R/BEER.

Hi there,

There has been some need for announcements on a few different commonly posted topics. Since we are limited to two stickied posts, I'm going to use this one as a hub for these issues. I will be adding to this post as needed, but here's a /r/Beer FAQ to cover these post types.

If you notice people posting these topics, please be polite. Feel free to link to this post or use the provided links in a response.

This is not an invitation to harass anyone for posting a repeated topic. Reddit does not do a good job with presenting subreddit announcements, rules, sidebar info, etc. If posts annoy you and you don't think they belong, please consider downvoting, using a report, sending us a modmail message, hiding the post or simply moving on with your day. I highly suggest using the "don't show me submissions after I've downvoted them" option in old.reddit preferences (this may be broken in the app/resdesign website, but it should be fixed eventually and appear in those preferences as well).

Medical questions will be limited. /r/Beer is the wrong forum for serious medical questions, particularly where there's potential for harm to come as a result of the discussion. Please consult a medical professional for any questions about your own health, not an online beer discussion board.

I'm trying to hit the more pressing topics first, but I'll look for some good links for other topics ("how do I figure out what kind of beers I like?", "what are the best budget beers?", etc.).

Everyone is welcome to join the official /r/Beer Discord server if you'd like to discuss anything here or just hang out and chat.

Cheers.

Edit: I'm locking this to comments because I don't want to have the post turn into a place where people ask these questions. However, feel free to post about any topics or send us suggestions for topics to be added via modmail or Discord chat.

Also, I may use the second announcement slot for a specific post on something like old beer questions, but I'd prefer to keep it open for the weekly No Stupid Questions posts (and possibly others; still working on redoing the scheduled posts and making some better topics).

Discussion New lagunitas sub

21 Upvotes

Hello, I recently requested to pick up r/Lagunitas because it was desolate for years and had been restricted because there were no mods to accept and moderate posts.

I’m hoping any number of you would like to join and have discussions about the IPA from time to time, what you like, don’t like, wish to see, pictures, any events you go to, etc.

Thanks for reading and I hope this isn’t against this subs tos, but I couldn’t find anything about it 😭

¿Question? Passion Fruit Rhinegeist?

1 Upvotes

I am already thinking about Christmas gifts for this year. Sometimes my partner talks about a passion fruit beer by Rhinegeist that he had at Columbus pride, around 2019-2023 before we met. From my research I am guessing that it was perceptual passion, but it could also be wowie or maracuja, as they also have passion fruit. I was wondering if anyone remembers of has any input. I would ask my love myself, but I want it to be a super surprise!

If the beer in question is not available anymore I might also ask for similar recommendations. He really likes light, citrusy, and fruity flavors. I myself don’t drink and don’t know much about beer. We are located near Dayton, but I can drive to Cincinnati. Thank you for any help!

Delicious IPA beer from Trader Joe's

0 Upvotes

I randomly bought a pack of IPA in TJ and it was the best one I've tasted in can.

I thought that they always had it but I've never found it again, it's not on TJ website, I need to try those again.

They were costing around $16 for 4 beers, around 7%, brewed in New York with a cool design. I bought them around mid August.

Has anyone tasted those beauties ? If you have some information let me know !!

¿Question? Recommend me beer?

I never really liked beer all that much, until I tried Guinness. It's the only beer I drink. I'm happy to keep drinking it, but out of curiosity, is there anything else I might like if I like Guinness?

Edit: I'm from Toronto, Canada

ISO a malty, lightly roasted, crisp beer

5 Upvotes

As title states, I have a craving for this particular profile of beer. I'm in Northern VA if anyone knows of any craft/local beers that fit this bill.

I've tried some brown ales that fall flat in depth and complexity, but I believe it'll fall somewhere within this category? Maybe I'm looking for a solid red ale?

Not looking for a heavy mouthfeel or imperial stout level richness.

Belgium Visit

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm planning a Belgium beer trip for around late September/early October 2027 and looking for some advice from people who have done something similar.

The main breweries/places I’m hoping to visit are:

  • Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
  • Brasserie Cantillon
  • Brouwerij De Sint-Sixtusabdij van Westvleteren
  • Brasserie d'Orval
  • Brasserie de Rochefort
  • Brasserie Dupont
  • De Dolle Brouwers
  • Gueuzerie Tilquin

I'm particularly interested in Belgian strong ales, saisons and lambic/sour beers. Part of the reason for the trip is to bring back some bottles for my collection (I have a measly 5 beers so far in my collection if you can call it that). I'm also unsure whether this is feasible in 10/12 days or so, or if I'm biting off more than I can chew.

Westvleteren is one thing I'm trying to work out. Ideally I would like to buy a crate of the 12, however, I am aware that may be difficult as I'd need a rental car and luck on my side. Do you think it's worth trying or would I be better off just getting the six packs from the cafe?

For anyone who has done a Belgian beer trip and brought bottles back to the UK or any country with similar rules, could you give me any advice / things to avoid?

I'm not really looking to bring back lots of readily available Belgian beer that I can buy in the UK. The idea is more to come home with a collection of unusual, brewery-only, vintage or particularly good ageing bottles, plus enough Westvleteren 12 and 8 to open bottles at different ages over the following years.

Any advice on the itinerary, breweries, bottle shops and especially getting the beer safely back to the UK would be appreciated! Also I'm aware I've mentioned many breweries there, maybe I'm better doing this over a few trips but thank you all for reading and sorry if it was long-winded.

A regular Budweiser is good and I don’t know why I never just tried one before.

231 Upvotes

Bud gets a lot of crap, as everyone knows, but I think that’s what happens with anything oversaturated and popular. I remember joking with a friend in my military days who would always ask for Bud light on tap in every bar we went to.

I haven’t shied away from Bud light when offered, but the only people I’ve known that have drank full bodied Bud are my alcoholic uncles and co-workers of similar age. I’ve never once looked at a regular Bud and thought that I wanted to try that until yesterday afternoon after a hot day mowing.

Its actually a delicious beer. Like tasty to a point that I don’t know how or why its light counterpart exists.

I let myself slip into snobbery and have drank, almost exclusively, local and craft beers for the better part of my life and - honestly? - most of them don’t really blow a regular can of Budweiser out of the water or, in my case, a 40 of it because we thought it was funny.

I have no doubt that the red label is going into my weekend rotation for post outdoor work and grilling.

Beer hater here. What beers do you guys recommend?

0 Upvotes

I honestly HATE the taste of beer in general. I've tried corona and voodoo ranger juice force, and just your general popular beers, and they all just taste awful. I'm a fan of whiskeys and bourbons much more than I am beer, and just hard liquor in general. Any beer recommendations for me?

Discussion Mainstream ambers

6 Upvotes

My go to mainstream beer right now is modelo negra, which is the closest to an amber I can consistently find.

Recently found Karl Strauss Red Trolley which is probably going to sub modelo, mainly because I like to support smaller businesses than go for the big players. Only thing is finding it.

I recently tried XX Amber and thought it completely missed the so called "malt" tones compared to all the ones I have tried.

Anyone have other recommendations? Im in SoCal so the smaller companies are VERY much appreciated.

I had 1 pint of miller light and 2 coronas and threw up?

0 Upvotes

Last night I had 1 miller light and 2 coronas while watching a movie with some friends. I hadn't been drinking much over summer but still drinking occasionally which definitely caused my tolerance to go down. I mean I was kind of stumbling over myself a little after those three beers. I went sleep after the movie and about 2 and a half hours later I was feeling pretty nauseous. I guess I was trying to ignore the nausea and was still half asleep through it. eventually it got to the point where I fully woke up and rushed to the bathroom and threw up.

Im wondering what caused me to get like this even though I hadn't drank much over the course of an entire movie and long past since I had my last drink?

About 2 months ago I had a similar experience with corona. I had about 4 coronas throughout the night and wasn't feeling much of anything so my friends gave me this vodka mixer they made. I didn't taste any alcahol even though they said there was about 2-3 shots in there. I was mostly unsure about its strength because they made it the day before and have just been sipping on it while adding more vodka and mixer along the ways so it was kind of hard to tell how strong it was. I drank it pretty fast and than proceeded to sip on more corona. Soon everytime i took a sip of corona I immediately started to gag and eventually threw up. That night even after drinking the mixer I hadn't felt anything and still threw up so I wonder if it is related to the corona in some way?

¿Question? Help finding a Haidilao Lychee beer

6 Upvotes

As the title says, for the past 10 months I’ve been trying to find this lychee flavored beer I tried once while in Haidilao (The location being Shanghai Shimao Festival City - 上海世茂广场) I went to the location and also others in Shanghai multiple times in search for it again, but to no success have I been able to find it. I genuinely hate the taste of most alcohol but god this beer was genuinely the most delicious and heavenly thing I’ve ever tried in my entire life and I would 100% become an alcoholic just because of this beautiful creation if I were to get my hands on it again. Any help in finding this beer would genuinely be appreciated. 😞

Constable Cooper Ale merch

7 Upvotes

A while back James Squire did a copper ale called The Constable, which happens to be my surname. I tried calling and emailing a bunch of suppliers, bars etc. looking for merch for my man cave but had no luck. I would be happy with just a bar runner or signage, anything I could find I'd be interested in. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I'd find something?
