Nocturna isn't that great, it's their attempt at a darker beer and it's pretty shit

Try the Tremens, it's quality

Also it was like $17 for a 4-pack, so I'm not sure it's worth it haha

Originally posted by Adam420 Cool! Wish I could get Eisbock ere again, I only got to have it in Australia. Aventinus is as Bavarian as it gets though, in my opinion. I can see why you'd compare it to some of the darker Belgian ales, but don't forget Aventinus is made with wheat, and I think it's overall more drinkable.

Since you live in MTL, do you have a friend near the border? If so, order it and then have them bring it up for ya.

Just had this:

i had the unpleasant experience of trying "Mixery" while in germany. at the nature one festival, i saw more people drinking this fluid than beer. where's the german pride? i mean coke and beer mixed together? it really tickles my throwup-muscles whenever i think of its flavour.

I've only tried 13 of the beers in their top 100

Pliny the Elder is number one? I've never tried, but to be considered the top beer on the planet, it better rock my cock off.

I've had 20 of them. I don't like IPAs though, so since that is a large amount of them, I won't ever try them. lol

I'm confused actually - I was looking at that site...and then I looked at BAs list on the site. I was thinking "hey whatever happened to the westy 12" and it is still number one on BA. the lists are a bit different, idk?

first time you try a pliny it will rock your cock off.

just went through the list...i've tried 46 of the top 100

To be fair, it's an annotated top 100...probably like, best 100 beers you can purchase in America with moderate difficulty

Win.

meh

Having one of these:



Not too bad, but I've had better.

that list is questionable. i agree that some of those beers are exceptional, but i feel like it was a crew from CA and MI that picked them all. Sierra Nevada Torpedo is nowhere near most of the beers on that list.

Oh and Westmalle triple is amazing.

Pliny is great too, but I would say Westmalle triple is still better.

i'm a fan

Just tried one from a local brewery here in Edmonton that has pumpkin in it. Not bad at all tbh, I thought it'd be horrid.

Enjoying some delicious Weihenstephaner weissebier this afternoon

that beer was a revelation for me the first time i had it. doesn't have the same charm anymore, and i have no idea why - but i still love it.

It's really weird, I feel almost the same way. But yeah, I love it

for me i think it was this - when i first had it i wasn't tooo experienced with hefes but i always enjoyed franziskaner, paulaner, and even occasionally the schneider. i never got into the domestic take on the style because i didn't think they could compare. all 3 i mentioned above, i think, are good beers but are quite similar in so many ways. i had trouble picking a favorite (franziskaner, fwiw).

then one day i was hanging out poolside, late afternoon, had just had an amazing meal and decided to try the new hefe i'd bought at the store. fireworks in my head for that beer. "so this is what the german hefe is all about. they all taste so similar but not enough like this"

i expected a mediocre beer and was surprised by how great it was.
now when i return to it i expect a great beer and, yeah, it delivers, but it's not the same of course.

I love the Schneider beers, they're awesome. Still never had Paulaner or Franziskaner though (nobody around here sells them )

Arrogant Bastard is my all time favorite beer, I got it the first time for the name as most probably do. But, it is actually a complex mixture of flavors that is fun to sip on and analyze as you get drunk. Weihenstephaner weissebier seems, really good though I'll have to order that if I am ever able to find it in the middle of nowhere Indiana.
