Making another trip to Sudbury, ON tomorrow! Found some cool Canadian beers last year. Anyone got any recommendations?

 

My usual metric is 3 and above I would drink it again.

Even if I don’t like something, I still give it about 2.5.

 

Yeah, a beer usually has to have a noticeable defect for me to give below a 3. That’s my baseline for “ok” beer.

 

Agreed, 3 means I’d have it again at a bar. 3.75> means I’d buy it at a 6 pack store

 

1 means I won't have it ever again, 2 means I don't want to have it again, 3 means I'd have it again, 4 means I want to have it again, 5 means I need to have it again haha

 

honestly I rank most beers a 3 just to track that I’ve had it. If I really love it I’ll go 3.5 or above.

If I don’t want it again I’ll put it in the 2s.

 

I used to use 3.5 as an average beer but I’m now tending towards 3 being average. I don’t care how small the place is, I rate the beer what I feel it deserves based on style and how much I enjoyed the beer. If that’s a 2.25 at a small brewery than so be it.

 

Usually if a beer is below a 2.5 I just don’t rate it unless it’s from one of the big breweries maybe. I don’t think I’ve rated anything a 5 hah

 

Yeah if something from a small brewery is that low for me I just don't rate it. I know I shouldn't feel bad about rating a small brewery's beers that low but I can't help it lol.

 

I’ve never given a beer a 5, I don’t know what I’m waiting for lol

 

I have given so many beers a 5 from when I first started using untappd. I thought the innis and Gunn BA “stouts” were the pinnacle of dark beer.

 

For a 5 something has to make me say “wow” after the first sip or two. Probably only a handful of beers over the years have done that.

I’m curious as to what everyone’s lowest rated is. I gave Avery’s El Gose a 1. Idk if the batch was skunked but I have never hated a beer more.

 

Heading over to pick up summa deez

 

Just had a very nice bunch of breeds at Denver Beer Co

 

Update: bought three of these bottles, plus another bottle and a four pack as well. Whoops.

 

did anthony just post something that isn't an NEIPA

 

that pretzel assassin tho

 

I've given 5 beers a 1: Ballast Point's Thai Chili Wahoo, Southern Tier's Creme Brulee (disgustingly sweet, tasted like confetti cake), Faction's Cherry Chocolate Stout, Faction's B Weisse R (tasted like Pledge), and Matchless' Blueberry Trainwreck (fitting name for a Triple IPA with blueberries). So Faction (a local brewery from Alameda) has the honor of having made 2 of the worst 5 beers I've ever tried.

 

Garrison City Neverending Circles 1: kettle sour with blueberries, vanilla, and lactose. I think I like the key lime pie version they had in March slightly more but this is still delicious.

 

You clearly don’t come in here often lol

 

That’s a good looking can

 

I’ve only recently heard of kettle sours. Anyone try one?

 

I didn't get that one, I gotta go back!!!

 

You in Denver? If you’re at the brewery get their pretzel w the horseradish mustard sauce too

 

Currently at the Rockies game, gonna go to Epic or Terminal after this. If I end up back there again I'll get the pretzel and pretzel beer
