Those prices seem highptown_trojans_1;1666613 wrote:Yeah, got the Shipyard, best for the price compared to the other. Was a little pricey, about $30 for my 2L.
Drinking it now, and not bad. Like it.
Place I went to has a Growler Club, $25 a year and half price fills on Sunday.

Picked up some West Sixth Pay It Forward (Cocoa) Porter this weekend, it was pretty damn good. Also have a co-worker bringing me in some Spotted Cow and Pie Lust from New Glarus today.

Wasted $8 yesterday on the Guinness Blond. Guinness has made a great Stout for 300 yrs, YTF do they feel the need to screw up their legacy with inferior products? Guinness Black Lager sucked too.

Buddy of mine loved their black lager. Guinness on nitro ain't bad imo.

Lemongrass. Terrible. But other than that I've liked all their stuff.GOONx19;1667977 wrote:I haven't had a bad West Sixth anything. I'll have to try those soon.

The flavor has always been so non-complex, but I mean, if you want cheap and heavy, their stout will do that.Commander of Awesome;1667985 wrote:Buddy of mine loved their black lager. Guinness on nitro ain't bad imo.
To be fair, I've never had it on nitro. I didn't know places did that with Guinness.

I don't consider Guinness heavy at all, mostly here it from bud light drinkers. I like it good enough, and can't find a beer that has replicated the creaminess/ texture of a Guinness. Closest one I have had is probably the Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro, as well as some local Oatmeal Stout on Nitro in Montreal.O-Trap;1667988 wrote:The flavor has always been so non-complex, but I mean, if you want cheap and heavy, their stout will do that.

Try some craft stouts. It's just like saying Bud Light is the bomb because millions of drunk Americans love the shit out of it.Tiernan;1668141 wrote:Yeah 5million drunk Irish don't count right?

Just tried Lagunitas IPA. Not bad. I seem to like most IPAs, though. The citrus was pretty evident.

I used to loathe stouts, solely bc of Guinness. They're now my favorite bc of craft.

It's a beer "snob" thread. What's wrong with saying a crappy stout is crap? What would you expect if someone came on this thread touting that they love Bud Light, and Budweiser Black Crown is the best "snob" beer they had?justincredible;1668420 wrote:Can we get back to not arguing about Guinness?
I love craft stouts. Love a good imperial craft stout, as well as porters. Wish that I could get GLBC Maple Porter outside their brewery.

Outside of GLBC Christmas ale and 12 Dogs Christmas Ale, what are some other must have winter beers? I'm excited to get back on the wagon here in a couple weeks. Or is it back off the wagon.
