IPv6Freely Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I don't drink beer very often. Usually just after a game and in that case I want something as close to water as possible, so I actually prefer something like Coors Light. Actually, my drink of choice post-game is Angry Orchard but that's not beer. I just find it refreshing. When I'm actually having beer outside of a hockey setting it's usually going to be from one of the many San Diego based breweries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying desperately to get my hands on some Filthy Flow IPA from Mikkeller, but no luck. Talk about some kick ass label art! Holy shit! This one has a 4.27 average rating on Untappd! Must be a damned good one (though the 42 IBUs is surprisingly low). cheers, fellow beer geek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 So I got good news and bad news today. Good news: hockey won’t be interfering with my beering for the next several weeks. Bad news: felt a pop in a goalmouth scramble last night. Finished the game (in some discomfort, and at the cost of some VERY soft goals, and a proportionate amount of pride). Saw a Physiotherapist today, and I am the lucky winner of a grade 1 MCL sprain/minor tear. Out for at least 4 weeks. Had a couple of Collective Arts’ Ransack the Universe IPAs tonight to dull the pain (of not being able to play). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) So I was warned by the physio, but yeah; on the second day, this M-C-Effin’-L sprain hurts worse. But look - it’s beer o’clock! Juicy Ass by Flying Monkeys (insert joke here). The poor waitresses who work at bars with this on tap... can’t even imagine the lines about this beer they’ve had to hear from emboldened and inebriated patrons...

Traktor31 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I, too, love a lot of beer. I don't know if anyone is from Michigan, but my favorite brand is probably Oddside Ales. If I had to pick just ONE. They have a lot of unique stuff, and lots of Always Sunny themed brews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Nation is my fave MI brewery right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they made a limited release strawberry version of M-45? It sold out immediately, I want to try it badly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I drink Corona only. For many reasons - but the fact that the IPA beer people get enraged at it makes that much better. Get a real hobby. ha ha 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a real hobby. ha ha I guess I would consider myself "into beer" but I would say I am not at all snobby about it, I just like trying and experiencing different styles and flavors. One thing though, I actually am not a fan of IPA's for the most part, most of them are just too hoppy for me. There are a few exceptions, but I am not a fan of em either.

Lucky Pucker Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I am a total beer snob; I ONLY drink beers that have water, hops, barley and yeast. On this, I am completely unwavering! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one of the biggest craft brewery scenes in the country here, though it doesn't get obnoxious at all from what I've seen and experienced. Everyone seems to just like to have a good time regardless of local brewery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Naz - where you at again? I miss the forum that used to have your location under your name. I'm in Philly. Fishtown to be more specific. These hipster dweebs are too much. Sucks working here because I just can't go around here for lunch. I have to tread through the too cool to be normal eateries. We have old records on the wall... Every cook has a scruffy ass beard... every waitress looks like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Pucker Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hipsters seldom (if ever) self identify as such (because I guess it's not cool to say that you're trying to be cool by purposely not being cool - in a cool way...? I don't know, it's such a complicated paradox of being... and beardedness.) However, the shitty parts of town are periodically given new names, and they can't help themselves. They flock to those parts in ironic t-shirt wearing droves, paying stupidly high rent from their barista salaries or whatever the fuck they do for money, going around pretentiously saying "I live in Hintonburg" when everyone knows it's just Mechanicsville - or Hipsterville now. So ultimately, hipsters are mostly restricted to de-facto hipster ghettos in certain parts of town here in Ottawa. It's not a perfect system, but it works.
