Let's talk good beer

Funny I just picked up a sixer of 60 minute recently, haven't had it in a while but it's so tasty

Sadly one of the Breweries that I like from up in New England has closed due to the pandemic ,it seems I might not get to make my yearly beer run this fall.

I'm bored out of my mind right now. Not ready for sleep.

If you could only have 1 beer (doesn't even have to be beer) for the rest of your life, what would it be? Doesn't even have to be in business anymore. The only qualifications are: it has alcohol and you've had at least 1 of them.

Mine is the Alesmith .394 (the Tony Gwynn beer) pale ale. If Jager bombs were sustainable, that would be up there too.

Great question, for me Prima Pils by Victory Brewing Company. If you’re making me drink only one beer the rest of my life it has to be suitable for every situation and mood. It has to be crushable, it has to be flavorful, it has to go great on Thanksgiving as equally as it goes at a July 4 BBQ, it has to satisfy without making me feel full, it has to pair with food, has to go great in the sunshine or in the shower. This one does all of it. I can drink 10 at a party or I can sip one with a filet at a fine steakhouse.

I love the Pilsner style and this is one of the best in the world.

Good question, I’d probably go with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It’s one of those OG craft beers. A lot of times shopping for beer can feel overwhelming with all the choices and SN is often my go to. It’s basic enough that most people who claim to not like craft beer still like it and most beer snobs will admit it’s super solid. And I like the alcohol is only 5% so it’s very crushable.

Yes. Folks who drank good beer long enough remember when Sierra Nevada Sam Adams, Pete’s wicked, dominion ale...and maybe a Tuppers Hop Pocket Or Foggy bottom in the mid Atlantic region were your only choices. Sierra Nevada still stands tall today, I grab a 12 packet or 2 a year just to support them.

Sierra Nevada is definitely an OG and good stuff. It's towards the top of the craft beers all times greats list.

1. Bell’s Two Hearted Ale


2. Cigar City Jai Alai IPA

Both strong body, hoppy and refreshing


Ive noticed a big trend of Ultra light body, hoppy ipa over the last five year..too light. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy some pale ale, citra ale stuff in the summer especially and I do love German & Czech pilsners , but a body consistency of iced tea or cheap American beer isn’t why I’m paying extra In the store.

I've never been more than a social drinker but I'd go with Optimal Wit by Port City, that's pretty popular for a DMV beer. Everytime I go out my friends are always trying out new craft beers but I always go back to the familiar pale ale's lol.

Nothing wrong about sticking to your personal favorites.

I've bought a lot of six packs, to try something new, that I really didn't like.

I've narrowed it down to about 3 or 4 beers I constantly buy now.
