Twisted Toaster Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Now I'm prepared to be scolded for this, but just lookin for some ideas. I've never been too much of a beer drinker. I used to drink some back in the day, but I just don't care for the cheap water beer we used to drink. Could drink it again just to get torn up, but I'm wanting something better.My friends just stay with their ol keystone, coors, busch and don't recommend much. What would you recommend for a "beginner" I suppose you could say. Any ideas for some good brews I could go try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltrailer77 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 That's kind of a broad question, and a lot of it comes down to your location and what's available around you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Toaster Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm in Colorado. I just want something that is smooth and flavorful. Not just bitter cheap shit, but I don't know where to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltrailer77 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 New Belgian brewing mothership wit would be a good way to git your feet wet so to speak. I know there are some pretty solid breweries out that way, but fist could give you much better advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Cheap beer isn't bitter, mate. I believe your general mass producers are smacking out a gob smacking 7/8IBU's. ? Stop me if I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I wouldn't mind discovering a bitter cheap beer. Speaking of which, I am in Europe on limited funds and subsisting on supermarket tall boys. Regardless of brand or style they all taste shockingly similar, which is shitty. Not mad at two for 3 dollars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 hey toaster i'll put up a better list after work but: i second the new belgium as a beginner beer. its like beer with training wheels, it'll get you over the initial palette shock when transferring from canned piss to "real" beer. fat tire is a decent beer for the purpose.

the.crooked Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I vote you start with avery, but that's just me. I think some good advice too that's not just the brewery is styles: Start with Pale Ales Then have an IPA. Taste the difference and similarities between the two. Then move to American Ales like Arrogant Bastard. Darker, larger malt profile, but maintaining the Hoppiness of the west coast style. etc. etc. Just a thought.

Realism Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Denmark...there's naturally some very good stuff here but it's not budget-wise to drink daily (recommendations?) although Chimay is slightly cheaper than in the States... I'll be headed to Germany for a week or so in March, that's gonna be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ahhh afraid I can't man, everything I drank in CPH ( I assume you're there) was not even close to cost effective. Tuborg's solid (carlsberg's other beer) and carlsberg special is pretty good if you like your dark 5%ers. I do recommend you party in a district called Kongens Nytorv, awesome fun and lots of food, clubs, bars and strippers. Just dont go to the stripper whores on Monday or Tuesday, scary ass b-team line-up. I may be here in march, gimme a shout and you can tell me how much better yank brews are than other beers, no joke, my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sure thing. I'll shoot a PM if I'll be around to shamelessly endorse American companies. Edit: And yeah, CPH ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 back to CO beers/starter: Avery is also an excellent choice, they make incredible beer in just about every style and are readily available. and i also agree that its best to start lighter: when i started drinking beers i hated IPAs, so i stuck to reds and ambers and hefs and "easier to drink" beers. moved into pale ales, belgians, porters, stouts and developed and figured out what i liked, what i didn't, but what is good in their respective categories/styles. toaster: you've got a huge adventure in front of you.

serum Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 agreed^ i think everyone dislikes bitter IPA's the first couple times around. eventually you'll get hooked and never look back. just don't give up on them. best type of beer IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
