Fat Tire is the beer that made me stop hating beer.

What’s the chant, Berk?

I'm not following you. The alc of the wine was 10.5%, and it was a cheaper brand since I'm not familiar with plum wines (yet). I had a taste of it, for the first time, recently at a local vietnamese restraunt that I like alot for their variety of bubble teas. Of course, it was a higher quality brand than the one that I purchased, but I like starting from the 'bottom' and work my way up. Does that answer your inquiry?

Tried Shock Top and Land Shark at a buddy's place. They were both amazing...

Land Shark always reminded me of Heineken soley on the grounds that it's over priced for what you get. Luckily, the local venders here dropped the price about 1.50$ on LS which makes it worth buying now. It's strange since most beers typically go up in price. At least, all of my favorite brands do.

EDIT:
Guinness calls for a slightly different pour than most beers look it up. Unlike some other beers it is not waiting for a little O2 to round out its flavors. You are pouring your beers into glasses, right?
Well, the bottles are glass.

Fat Tire is one of my "go to" beers. For when I am feeling boring, but still want to be kind of pretentious. Thad will tell you stuff like, "Dogfish head has only made 90 Minute IPA with different labels." But you should ignore his bullshit, because he's old and surly and apparently does not love 90 Minute IPA enough.

The fuck are you talking about?  Criticizing Dogfish 90 really does not sound like something I would do.

EDIT: Oh, you got me confused with Ocksi.

All Dogfish beers at this point are just 90minute plus flavoring.  They've been very disappointing for a while :(

Thanks for that.

Fat Tire was my first beer, and I still regularly keep it in my fridge.

The last time I saw Steve, he insulted it.  Because he's the kind of guy who will come to your house and insult your taste in beer when you offer him one.

T EVERYONE ELSE: Steve is a good guy that I managed to live with for about 2 years (consider that against my raging misanthropy) but he has an unfortunate tendency to aim for the deep end of hipsterism and this often results in him second-guessing his own opinions.  Sometimes as soon as he forms them.

I never did figure out if he actually liked The Ramones or liked trashing himself for pretending to like The Ramones.

Steve's good people.

I gave him a Kiltlifter.  He liked it!





PS: Kiltlifter is a beer, not a sex act.

So does pouring beer do something magical to it, or is that just Classic being himself?

Some beers taste significantly different when there's a little fresh O2 mixed in with it. Others, not so much.

I can't tell the difference between 312 in the bottle and 312 poured, and I'm pretty sure I imagine the difference for Fat Tire as well. However, some of my less pretentious friends tried Victory Storm King in the bottle and didn't understand why I liked it until I poured it out for them. So either they're damned liars, or there is a difference. I think it's something similar to how you're supposed to let red wine breathe/decant a little for its full flavor.

:tl;dr: Yes, there's magic.

In the case of Guinness it's because of activation and head and blah blah blah.  For most other beers it's just the difference between drinking it out of a small bottleneck which still has most of the carbonation trapped under it vs a wide-rimmed glass which mostly contains oxygen.  It's largely a matter of personal preference and beer type (I prefer dark beers in a bottle and light beers in a mug, except for Guinness which I'll only choke down on St. Patty's day but at least I do it right god dammit.)

Hee hee, now I'm picturing Captain Harlock trying to down a pint of Guinness; grimacing and retching like he'd just taken a spoonful of Buckley's Cough Syrup.

Which is weird, since he drinks Buckley's Cough Syrup the way most people drink Guinness wine.

What's the alcohol % in Lindemans Pomme Lambic.  This is so perplexing.

Also this is a bizarre beer, because it's tart and it tastes almost nothing like beer.  And I'm not sure if I like it either.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

New Belgium's Mothership Wit is weird. Not in a bad way, although at first my taste buds were like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, but once I got used to it, it's pretty good!

Old Plowshare Stout has just become a new favorite of mine.  It's organic and a little pricey (I picked it up because the liquor store had it on sale for $6 a 4-pack) but may be the best stout I've ever had out of a bottle.  Full flavor, chocolatey aftertaste, and pretty much the perfect beer for this time of year when it's starting to get a little chilly.

I'm a "whatever's good and on sale (and will fit in my backpack if I am on my bike)" kind of guy and don't expect I'll be paying full price for it anytime soon, but it was enough for me to go back for another four-pack.
