Yes JJ

I'm not the only one here after all.
But, I'm disappointed in you. At least get yuengling over natty

lol wut??? thats two totally different types of beer lol ur silly jack

In this case the difference is a poor attempt at a light pilsner (I thought all pilsners were light to begin with) and a fairly good, albeit cheap, lager. No contest. Yuengling is a great session beer.

They're different, but not that different. A Pale Lager vs. a Light lager, both 100% bad/underwhelming. It's not like comparing a Dubbel Bock with a Gueuze.

The hop obsessed American craft beer movement has reached a point of self-parody. Its a goddamn blight upon brewing.

I'm looking forward to the needle swinging the other way -- a veritable flood of high-quality stouts and porters!

I'm from Pittsburgh! Still my permanent address. But I go to school at Edinboro, near Erie. You?

Oh you're way out there haha. I'm in Philly. I almost ended up in Pittsburgh for college though

Yeah I'm with Smalls on this one.

I'm aware that they are different. Its more the principle that if you're getting cheap beer and you are from Pennsylvania or Florida thats what you get. At least thats how it always was with my friends

FTFY.

There is a plethora of very, very good stouts and porters (they're the same damn thing). Black Butte Porter, The Abyss, BCBS, KBS, Huna, Dark Lord, Darkness, Black Note Stout, etc. I could go on for awhile. Big, barrel aged stouts are right there with unbalanced hop forward IPAs in terms of craft trendiness right now.

Might be the climate to blame, but its not really that way in Florida.

I didn't realize IPA's were particularly trendy. I honestly just like the taste.

By trendy I meant that micro/nano breweries are producing a lot of IPAs currently. The American craft scene is dominated by IPAs and DIPAs. I love them as well, and I wasn't trying to imply that folks drink them because they are trendy.

(This isn't directed at you Rigo) I disagree that the "obsession" with IPA here in America is anything negative. One could easily say the same about Germany and lagers. Certain countries to certain styles better than others. America does big IPAs and big stouts better than any other country, just like Belgium does sours and quads better than anybody else. Speaking of German beers, if anyone wants to know the best type of beer for summer session drinking, it's Goses. Slightly salty, slightly tart, crisp, and refreshing. Westbrook Gose is a

One of the best stouts in the world is brewed in Florida, and I even named it in that list. A quick look at who distributes in Florida shows that you guys get a lot of good stuff. Bells, Crooked Stave, Goose Island (for BCBS and variants), Hoppin Frog (has an excellent stout BORIS), Lagunitas, Stone, The Bruery, Prairie Artisan Ales (Prairie Bomb! is my favorite stout), and many others. You have to find the right beer store, and talk to the folks that work there. They should be able to point out some great options.

Stop trying to make Florida happen. It's not going to happen.

Why should Rigo just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Prodigal is just as cute as Rigo, right? Prodigal is just as smart as Rigo, people totally like Prodigal just as much as they like Rigo, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what TLS is about! We should totally just STAB RIGO!

Rigo,

[leslieknope]

Febbers, I know we're shitposting in anticipation of Waiters but I just retook PT 72's LG after dying on it last week and -0ed it! Finished in 30, and managed to find the two mistakes I made in the five minutes remaining. It doesn't mean much, since it's only been a week, but I'm definitely calmer about Saturday now.

You may now return to talking about booze and how much Florida sux.

Huna doesn't count, due to availability. The thing is, I've seen 75% of those brands, and almost never their stouts, down here. Maybe its more a Miami thing, but central and north Florida don't see them. For the purpose of stating it, I work at a grocery store widely lauded for its beer selection.

Tangentially, a guy a work with who consults for brewers around here pulled a 176 some years back.

I rarely say "180," but 180.
