Anyhow, I NEVER drink a beer straight out of the bottle. It doesn't matter what beer it is. It's always out of the glass. I even drink all my beer out of the same glass, that is only rinsed out with water and never touches soap. All my non-beer snob friends think I'm a freak.
But anyhow, there was just something extra fucking awesome about the Oatmeal Stout on tap that went above and beyond Youngs Oatmeal in a bottle. It was just better on every level.
So B... do the Flying Saucer girls have those outfits in Charlotte too? Holy shit man...
I will have to try this Oatmeal Stout

The wife doesn't make it out to Flying Saucer often does she?

I'm interested in hearing B's gameplan for RFD with such a huge selection to choose from.
I don't generally go into a location with a game plan. I mean, I could go in thinking, "I'm going for a light Hefeweizen and then I'm moving onto a heavy trappist ale." Then I'd walk in and they have a shit Hefeweizen or they focus on Czech beers and my plan is blown to shit.
When I'm in a strange town, I look for beers that are brewed locally or that are not available in my market here in NC. Even if a beer brewed near DC is available in Chapel Hill, it may not be on tap or may not be as fresh as at RFD.
Basically, I intend to take an out-of-towners recommendation from the barkeep.

As long as B understands that not everyone can always afford a microbrew, he's okay in my book.
If the cost of a quality beer is breaking the bank, you're either (a) a major market distributor or (b) holding up a cardboard sign every day, in which case, drink what you can get. What's the difference between a six-pack of Sam Adams and a six-pack of Bud Light? 50 cents?
If it's not worth a buck or two for you to drink a better beer, then you're just trying to get drunk with little to no interest in taste. If that's the case, there are cheaper and more pleasant ways to do it than guzzling Beast Ice. You're just too embarrassed to buy Mad Dog or drink fruit punch with Everclear. But trust me, Milwaukee's Best and Bud Light drinkers are just as big of pussies as Mad Dog drinkers, they just usually drink in establishments where the clientelle is not yet aware of that fact.
And hell ... usually, the extra cost of a better beer also translates into higher alcohol content.

I could give a fuck. I don't drink to impress anyone, especially you. I drink beer that tastes good, compliments my meal and/or surroundings, and inspires me to become a better brewer.

Has anyone experienced a Unibroue Maudite from Quebec?
I listen to a beer tasting podcast and there is much debate over whether this beer is delicious, or whether is sucks fat ass. I personally like it a lot. It's a Belgian-style which, of course, are my favorites, but I was wondering if anyone else had a take on it.

Alright, guys ... can we create a new thread for digging through my webpage? Stop derailing the beer discussion.

Have you encountered any New Zealand/Australian beers? I dont know how popular they are, but I have to say largely they are a whole bunch of suck.
It seems the world thinks Steinlager is our national beer, but only the homeless drink it here. Our 4% ers like Speights/Tui/Lion Red are really catered to our drink to excess culture and taste like goat piss. The only truly great one I have encountered is Monteiths Summer Ale...man it makes me dribble just thinking about it now. Got a bit of a honey feel to it and unfortunately its only a summer release so I have to wait 4 months to have my next pint.
And am I agreed with in saying Murphys is a better drop than Guiness?This was certainly my feeling when I was in Dublin, Murphys was unbeatable, although its amazing how much more drinkable Guinness was on the top of their factory looking over the town as opposed to here in my local boozer. Kilkenny=

Its from Goose Island. Its my beer of the year. I stumbled upon it on New Years Eve and havent let go since.
I haven't seen that beer. Probably not available this far south, but I did visit Goose Island's pub while I was in Chicago. LOVE their stuff. Highly recommend any Goose Island beers.

I talked to Laura about that in DC. I've never, NEVER seen an Australian or New Zealand beer other than Fosters. I've seen very few from the South Pacific at all. Now, craft beer stores are relatively new in NC, so maybe some will come filtering in. I'll look for some Monteiths.
Stouts improve considerably out of nitrogen taps.

You might as well pick up your cups of piss from the concert floor and redrink those.
