tomspanks 9039 Posted March 30, 2017 Craft beer has been on the raise the last few years. More and more small breweries and craft bars have been opening up. One of my favourites Hitachino is actually available in the the US. But some other companies like Minoh and Braid are making Imperial stouts, but they aren't cheap. Also for the record I DO drink Kirin with my yakitori, but Sapporo isn't all that common. Asahi Super Dry and Kirin are the defacto beer in 80% of places.  That's crazy to me, because I can go to the corner boega and pick up a can of Sapporo for cheap. I have had Hitachino, but it didn't click until now that it was brewed in Japan, lol. Cute little owl though.  Wait, hold on, are you implying that Australian and Canadian beers are great? Because I beg to differ.   This is me, a teetotaler (but drinker of coffee and tea), nervously attempting to add SOMETHING to this thread, considering I was late to this particular musical party and found all your Rent analyses more interesting than my own:  I will geek out on coffee and tea as well  Taylor anne and Fister, this says the best Texan beer is RU55 - have you had it? 4 Share this post Link to post
taylor anne photo 11311 Posted March 30, 2017 Taylor anne and Fister, this says the best Texan beer is RU55 - have you had it? I haven't but I'm willing to seek it out and give it a try! I'm usually iffy when beer says they taste like chocolate but maybe the raspberry taste will counteract that lol. 1 Share this post Link to post
FisterRoboto 7499 Posted March 30, 2017 Taylor anne and Fister, this says the best Texan beer is RU55 - have you had it? I have, but that's a weird-ass choice. Jester King mostly makes sours, so it's strange to see that chosen as the best Texan beer. I like them, but I prefer Commercial Suicide and Black Metal.  But I wouldn't even call Jester King the best Austin beer. I prefer Thirsty Goat (whose brewery, Thirsty Planet, is right up the street from JK), almost anything Real Ale makes, Live Oak Hefeweizen, or Hops and Grain's 787ö2 (probably my favorite summer beer).  When I used to live in Fort Worth, I used to go to Rahr and Sons all the time because I lived about a mile away and could walk home if I made bad choices. All of their seasonals are really great, but any of their special edition beers are worth picking up if you find them, especially Snowmaggedon and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Winter Warmer. 1 Share this post Link to post
FisterRoboto 7499 Posted March 30, 2017 512 Pecan Porter, on the other hand, has been on my list for a long time and I haven't found a local source (although I admittedly haven't tried very hard.) I think it might be kind of a pain unless you can find it on tap somewhere. 512 doesn't bottle, so if you want any to drink at home, you have to buy a growler and get it filled.

tomspanks 9039 Posted March 30, 2017 (Did I kill the conversation by being a pretentious dildo?) Â Never heard of those beers you mentioned. I only drink hand-crafted beers made in local breweries, after yoga, with yogurt and rice and beans and cheese, mostly in a fallacy in my head. 6 Share this post Link to post

I like them, but I prefer Commercial Suicide and Black Metal. Â I may not be qualified to comment on the quality of beer products, but I am ALL IN on beer products that utilize black metal and corpse paint in their marketing. This is why I am glad the craft beer industry exists. Far more interesting shit goes on, both in the imagery and in the actual product, than in the conglomerated concoctions hoisted upon the world by InBev and its associated subsidiaries.
