Tavaruawon Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Far from it mayn. I am an enhancement drinker. I had to fuck my palette way the fuck up in order to truly appreciate such a fine ale as it is. Like eating saltines in between a taste testing. After a night of cheap beer, In n Out, Tums, and heartburn I can now truly dig the sixers of Lagu chilled in my fridge. Hairy eyeball, Censored, 09 Correction, and of course Shutdown. In fact I think I'll have one with meh cheerios. Nothing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Some of the best beer I've had. I'm apparently supposed to drink it almost room temperature, so I'm letting a few sit out while I drink now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Tyranena brewing co out of Wisconsin had this the other day http://www.tyranena.com/ Bitter Old Woman. a rather smooth tasting IPA not as bitter as it implies. Barley Island out of Indiana Dirty Helen Brown Ale. Sheet Metal Blonde Ale (sorry about the size) http://barleyisland.tripod.com/brews.html I never saw these before and tried them. pretty good light-mid bodied beers Big Sky Brewing co out of Montana http://www.bigskybrew.com/index.aspx/Our_Beers Seasonal Summer Honey This was interesting but for some reason I was hoping for a little bite and instead it was just slightly sweet. but it was good enough to try and it has made me interested enough to try the other beers they offer. and stuff I just can't get enough of this summer Bell's two hearted ale Bell's Oberon North coast old rasputin and last but not least Great Lakes Grassroots ale. I had this at that convention. I got it again recently. it doesnt taste like anything i've ever had before. though this does not sound appealing the only thing i can compare the smell/taste to is freshly cut grass. i love it. if you can find a 6 of this grab it.

serum Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 also before i forget, with the economy the way it is let me help you with beer prices. ok first off only shop at small liquor stores that carry this sort of stuff. though whole foods has a pretty good selection and price they are not going to give two shits about you. however if you can find a small liquor store shop there instead. get to know the owner. micro brews are not marked up that much so the owner really isnt making that much off of them. but if you buy it by the case you should be able to get atleast $5 off. now figure that the sixer you are buying costs $8.99(without tax) you are paying $1.50 a beer so i bought a case which would have cost me $36 i got it for $30 which drops the per beer price to $1.25 a beer now for the real savings, ask what kind of deal he can give you. all liquor store owners have stuff that they can't seem to get rid of or if there are crappy beers that you enjoy see how much you can get them for. bigger the beer company (miller lite, corona etc) the more he can drop the price. he was offering me miller or corona at around .50 a beer (no thanks). instead i got a case of some german beer for $1.00 a beer ($24) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Or get a Keg-a-rator and have a initial investment pay off in savings over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeaaaah baby Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 word up morton, a prefabricated keggerator is sold at stores like home depot for just 400 or so bucks you also gotta factor in electricity costs of running a second fridge tho.. a keg of good beer will probably run you about 120-150 but that comes out to about 81 cents a beer, and it keeps it fresh for 4 months or so. but then you have the problem of only drinking that beer for a good while, i like to switch up my six packs all the time. heres what i copped last night: itssss gooooodd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-walk Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 But if you get a keg of something that never gets old then you're okay. For instance a solid lager or ale which ever you prefer. Easy to drink and could be an every day kind of thing, or the beer you drink before the bar. Or you also have the option of buying pony kegs or soda kegs which will hold far less and are cheaper obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goproyonotam Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 brewery outta eugene, oregon- NINKASI. super fresh, ridiculously dank, and the label is a sticker that can be peeled off for other uses. guess it has also been one of the biggest hits on the market lately. tricerahops is where it's at.

AREANKAY Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Buying a kegerator and then justifying it as a way to "cut costs" is the excuse that you tell your wife why you have to spend 300-400 dollars up front for beer. in reality it just means that you will drink more pints of beer every night than you regularly would have because you have a half barrel sitting in your living room. then you end up blowing through a few kegs way faster than you should and one day when you find your self without any beer or a keg you decide to stop spending 70-150 bucks on a keg and just buy a case or a few bottles , then your kegerator sits empty, and empty, and empty. Then one day its on craigslist for maybe half of what you bought it for and the whole process repeats with some other thirsty young buck.

For full disclosure, yes I work there. However, if you want to find out about case specials, etc. ask to speak to the Beer Specialist. They will be the one's who actually buy the beer, manage the stock and typically genuinely enjoy good beer. The one I work with is awesome, he will stock particular cases in back so we can go and get a six pack everyonce in a while rather than actually stock it on the shelves. So basically just go in, find someone in specialty (Beer, Cheese, Wine) and ask to speak to the beer specialist. If you have something specific in mind, see if they carry it. If not, just start a general conversation with em about what they like, what they suggest, and what their case discounts are like. It's a nice way to develop a good relationship with someone who can provide you good beer cheaper than most places who stock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 so the beer specialist at whole foods could hook up a discount on cases? if so i'll try that avenue as well because they're selling coney island bombers for around $4 where as my liq store is trying to sell them at $6.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm pretty sure there is a case discount. Or, the cases are gonna be cheaper than most places because of the lowered price. The buyer and I got really sad the other week because there was a beer we both wanted, got it in and it was two dollars cheaper than a competing beer store in SF. We both rejoiced in that fact, but two days later the beer's price jumped a dollar and a half. Someone at regional figured out what the beer was worth, and that sucked. But the two tall boys of PBR for 3 dollars has been rockin my socks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
