sderk 1,040 Posted November 16, 2018 Backwoods is so much better thank CBS and kbs Yeah, I always look for it around this time of year. I found 1 store near me that brought some in. When my GF and I travel around we always keep an eye out for local breweries. I really want to get over to Founders but there is just no other reason to go to that location that I know of.

sderk 1,040 Posted November 16, 2018 I like this one. Dogfish Head makes a 120 Minute IPA - This is the "Holy Grail for hopheads" - I happened upon it while in a local liquor store in Detroit when I was traveling there for work. They kept it behind the counter so people couldn't steal it. Costly for a beer but I had to try. Pretty tasty. Drink at home when you don't have to go out and drive. 15 - 20% ABV .

mobb_deep 917 Posted November 16, 2018 +1 If you want to try new beers, but don't like bitter/hoppy, stick with Belgium, Germany and England. Ommegang Abbey is my favorite of the beers on your OP. The Chimay Red would be similar, if you can't find the Ommegang. The Rochefort Trappistes 8 is my personal favorite of the Belgium Abbey/Double style. My favorite beer rigt now is the Tripel Karmeliet. It's fruity and aromatic, with really nice floral notes. The mix of 3 grains gives it a real unique flavor.

Unless you like your beer tasting like fruit punch. But there's nothing wrong with beer drinkers who prefer the taste of wine coolers labeled as beer. I guess...

sderk 1,040 Posted November 16, 2018 "Fat tire" . Marketing.Is Fat Tire all over the posts here? Give me a Founders Backwoods Bastard or Dogfish Head commercial. One that is mass marketed.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted November 16, 2018 I think it's fairly obvious so much of this is marketing. Suckers. Are you speaking to the catchy names of these beers? Yes, it gets a little out of hand, but there are soooo many different types that "normal" names are going to run out. I do think the beer descriptions are pointless and rarely have anything to do with the beer itself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,063 Posted November 16, 2018 "Fat tire" . Marketing. Not a fan of Fat Tire -- just not an amber fan -- but I can't really recall any marketing. Unlike the mass produced beers that need frogs, catch phrases (WASSSUUUPPPP???, Dilly dilly), and horses playing football. I do like the current Bud Light commercials though.

I'm just saying, a lot of these micro-brews are gimmicks. Some of them are even owned by the big boys. If you like it, great. But when a market gets flooded all at once with new product, most of them are going to suck. They have to distinguish themselves with a catchy name to stand out. Marketing. If these people were making beer 30 years ago they don't fit the category. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,169 Posted November 17, 2018 So many good beers, it is a matter of taste... and experience. 5-ish years ago I worked at a place near the Phoenix Ale Brewery. We went there for celebrations, people leaving, whatever. The head brewer plays FF and we got to be friends. I have a very positive memory of the place. And the beer is in my wheelhouse as far as taste. http://phoenixale.com/beer/ Their Camelback IPA is the most commercially successful beer, but my personal favorites are the Orange Peel IPA and Ironwood Porter. You probably can't buy them so... Also the founder, George Hancock, passed away a few years ago from cancer. George moved to Seattle from Scotland and founded Pyramid Brewery, which was fairly successful and went public. He then moved to Phoenix and was very involved in the local brewing leadership. The brewer came up with King George Amber which I haven't tasted but, given my relationship, I'll add this as my third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
