You live in Canton? If you find your way to Wooster, PM me for a drink at JAFB.

 

Does anyone here have experience in shipping bottles (singles or packs)?

 

At Wegman's yesterday I found a 12 pack of Hoponius Union cans for $17, which I thought was pretty sweet, since I think 12 cans of Sam Adams at my local liquor store runs me $15 or $16.

 

Ended up having these yesterday:

and they were all really fantastic

 

With @iplaydrums, I can't get into beer, but open to recs. (I'm so ashamed, I used to work for a publication where beer tasting was a norm! ) Do enjoy ciders, but also open to expanding my palette or whatever lol

 

What ciders do you like?

 

Normally go for Strongbow Gold Apple or Angry Orchard Green Apple, but had a friend turn me onto a pear cider last summer that was amazing. Can't remember who made it, but know it was imported.

 

Cider Boys? Their peach cider is really great.

 

If you like ciders, I recommend starting with Belgian-style beers. They also tend to be light in body, highly carbonated, and fruity and flavorful.

Some recs:

Allagash White
Affligem Blond
Saison DuPont
Boulevard Tank 7
Duvel

 

Thanks! I'll take a look around Hop City, see if I can find these.

 

@carina Was that pear cider from Australia? My cousin is fucking obsessed with that

 

I think it was from somewhere in Europe? She first tried it when she did a study abroad, so I'm not sure!

 

First post on the beta!

I don't know if anyone will find it outwith Scotland/UK but we have WEST Brewery here in Glasgow, they do various beers and that sort of thing. The best is their flagship St. Mungos which is marketed as 'German head; Glasweigan Heart'. A must have!

 

Helo fellow Scot! Love a St. Mungos. So good.

 

Hey! I didn't try it for ages then finally did hungover one day and it changed everything. West 4 is decent as well. The brewery is a great place to go to on a sunny day.

 

Was drinking Sam Adams Boston Lager for a while but switched to Yuengling to save money.

 

All I have in the fridge right now is a friend's left over Coors Light. Not happy about this.

 

pretty sure legally you can sue him

 

Think the store will let me trade in 4 Coors Lights for one good 40oz? Why is this not a thing allowed. IT SHOULD BE IN THE CONSTITUTION!

 

lmao
having a Miller Fortune. They're not bad, not great, not good, but just enough of an alc%/vol to get me tipsy easily
also have some Anchor stuff that isn't very good and i regret drinking the last of my Hard Orange Cream Ale yesterday

 

Having a Woodchuck Gumption. Definitely not the right time of year for a cider, but it's hitting the spot.

 

i THINK i've had that. or something from Woodchuck. they're not bad. is there a season to drink certain stuff? i'll have a cider all year round

 

Yeah, Woodchuck is always good! Cider is usually a fall drink for me, but moving to south Texas ruined my sense of seasons, haha.

 

There's a bar over here that actually does that like, once a year. You can bring in any of your "leftover" or "friend's beers" of that nature and they'll pour you a free craft brew

 

This is the worst, that's why I buy more craft beer than I can drink. There's always something decent on hand.

Woodchuck is the best. They've got a wide variety of flavors for any season. The summer and fall are typically the best, but the Winter is pretty good.
