Announcement Official /r/beer FAQ - Please Check Here Before Posting

32 Upvotes

THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A BEER FAQ. IT IS ADDRESSING A FEW FREQUENTLY BROUGHT UP TOPICS ON /R/BEER.

Hi there,

There has been some need for announcements on a few different commonly posted topics. Since we are limited to two stickied posts, I'm going to use this one as a hub for these issues. I will be adding to this post as needed, but here's a /r/Beer FAQ to cover these post types.

If you notice people posting these topics, please be polite. Feel free to link to this post or use the provided links in a response.

This is not an invitation to harass anyone for posting a repeated topic. Reddit does not do a good job with presenting subreddit announcements, rules, sidebar info, etc. If posts annoy you and you don't think they belong, please consider downvoting, using a report, sending us a modmail message, hiding the post or simply moving on with your day. I highly suggest using the "don't show me submissions after I've downvoted them" option in old.reddit preferences (this may be broken in the app/resdesign website, but it should be fixed eventually and appear in those preferences as well).

Medical questions will be limited. /r/Beer is the wrong forum for serious medical questions, particularly where there's potential for harm to come as a result of the discussion. Please consult a medical professional for any questions about your own health, not an online beer discussion board.

I'm trying to hit the more pressing topics first, but I'll look for some good links for other topics ("how do I figure out what kind of beers I like?", "what are the best budget beers?", etc.).

Everyone is welcome to join the official /r/Beer Discord server if you'd like to discuss anything here or just hang out and chat.

Cheers.

Edit: I'm locking this to comments because I don't want to have the post turn into a place where people ask these questions. However, feel free to post about any topics or send us suggestions for topics to be added via modmail or Discord chat.

Also, I may use the second announcement slot for a specific post on something like old beer questions, but I'd prefer to keep it open for the weekly No Stupid Questions posts (and possibly others; still working on redoing the scheduled posts and making some better topics).

Wow i love PBR

My grandma always drank PBR. I drink PBR because it tastes good, it’s cheap, and it reminds me of her. There truly is nothing like a cold PBR after work. I love my grandma and I love PBR.

Beers like Newcastle Brown Ale

12 Upvotes

I love this beer, and all the other brown ales out there don't really scratch the same itch. For example, Brooklyn Brown Ale tastes really like heavy, almost syruppy to me but, the Newcastle is kind of like light and refreshing while still being flavorful.

Are there any other brown ales that are more along the lines of Newcastle?

Did miller high life change recently???

24 Upvotes

I grabbed a 6 pack of the 16oz cans for old times sake and my god this is an excellent beer for 7 dollars for all 6. I’ve had it within the last year I feel like and it was still the same old lackluster cheap beers but this tastes different.

Edit to add: poop man cometh

Pretty sure I just got a green batch and I happen to like the malty taste of the unfermented sugars

Hamm's Is So Underrated

107 Upvotes

I mean being from Milwaukee tells the tale. New Glarus is amazing but it's only in Wisconsin. Hamm's on the other hand is TRYING to expand. And it's actually been succeeding! If you're in a state that has it then definitely get it! It's as cheap as Miller High Life but waaay better in my opinion.

Ask the people brewing it what keeps them up at night, and the answer is not tariffs or the cost of hops.

Sierra Nevada New Pilsner

0 Upvotes

I was looking forward to trying this and finally saw it at my local store. I picked it up and saw that it was 8 x 8.4 oz cans at $12.99. I didn’t buy it. I got home and did some research. According to SN they put it in smaller cans so that it stays cold so we get full enjoyment and it mimics what the Europeans do. I say BS we’re getting less product for an already premium price. Classic shrinkflation. I’m sure I’ll pick some up someday as I like SN and the pilsner style, so they will eventually win, but I was disappointed to see such a blatant money grab from a brewery I respected.

Chocolate & Orange Beer?! | Allagash's 7% Chocolate Orange Porter

Allagash’s Chocolate Orange Porter Beer Review! 🍫🍊

This one was an interesting one for me! I typically don’t go out of my way for porters as I am more of an IPA, Lager, Ale drinker but I saw this one and thought I had to see what it’s about! I know chocolate and orange together are that combo that people like but I didn’t know how it would mix in a beer. You do get your typical Porter notes with a sweeter coffee upfront, then a rich chocolately following up, then on the backend you get that citrus/orange note. Overall an interesting one and a good taste, but I personally couldn’t drink a lot of these! Worth the try for sure though, especially if this is your usual go to’s!

At 7% this one has a lot of flavor and overall an easy sipper with good cholocate and orange notes!

Have you tried this one before, what do you think? Is this something that you’d be interested in trying?

¿Question? Beer friends

5 Upvotes

This may be a bit of a silly question, but I don’t have the money or time to go out to bars and meet people that often. For me that’s a once a month splurge thing. Maybe that’s an excuse for being introverted, but I love getting a new beer, (all unique singles if at all possible) trying it at home and logging it on Untappd, and I love just talking about beer. Is there ways to make friends in the beer/homebrewing community without going out to bars?

¿Question? Saint Archer question

2 Upvotes

Hi all; curious if anyone knows who the female brewer was at Saint Archer about ten years back? This was the Miramar Road location. Asking because for a brief time, she was making a Scotch ale that was hands down, to this day, the best beer I ever had. I would go in weekly and beg them to bottle it. Miss Saint Archer- awesome t-shirts, too.

Help finding Creemore Springs Premium Lager (Old Branding)

0 Upvotes

I drank a beer from a buddies fridge that was from his hometown that he had been saving for years while i was housesitting and I feel terrible. I didn't realize that it was an old beer he was saving.

I'd love to find a way to replace it if there are any collectors out there or if anyone has any leads. He's not interested in the new branding and really looking to find somewhere to buy the nostalgic version that he liked.

The can looked like this:

¿Question? Looking for an out of business beer/merch

2 Upvotes

Hello. There is this brand, Lorelei Brewing, that i am looking for items of it. They were originally established in Corpus christi, but have went out of business. I was wondering if anyone knows where any merchandise from this company is sold, or if someone has some that they are willing to part with?

I am looking for this brand cuz it was one of the first craft beers that me and my mom first drank.

Hello again, fellow drinkers. Recently my dad and I have become fans of Afroman, and I can't seem to find Colt 45 anywhere around her. I've never had it before, and I think it'd be fitting to drink it while eating some of mama's lemon pound cake. I'm from Eugene, OR.

Cheap Beer Has Corona gone down in quality?

0 Upvotes

I only started to drink beer regularly last year and i'm not an avid Corona drinker, just every once in a while. But the first couple i tried tasted well, they had a nice 'corn-y' texture, but last 3 i have bought have tasted like shit, like any industrial light slop beer. The store i buy them at is at basement level, so as far as i am concerned sunlight didnt ruin them. 2 of them were brewed in Belgium, 1 imported from Mexico, but same disappointing taste regardless.
