Bumping this up:

Last week I attended the annual local beer festival to benefit the veterans charities around here. The set up is you get in for free but if you want to drink you pay the $40 ($35 if you register online) and you're given 40 tickets that entitle you to one 2oz beer per ticket. I've probably discussed this before.

2014 and 2015 I missed due to other things but another couple we know has gone all four years. Last year I got REALLY into the festival, drank my tickets, my friend's extra tickets, and then a guy I know had to bail due to an emergency and gave me a bunch of tickets. I had to be helped to the car and then it all came back up on the ride home.

For 2017 I couldn't even FIND 40 beers I liked to even get close to that stupid. All told my group found 5 we would buy again, none are available here. Total waste of money from a beer standpoint. They should have just called it "LOL IPA FEST." Also, they stopped giving sample cups, you had to use your commemorative mug that you get at registration. After 3 or 4 beers, that residual starts to affect flavor, there were no rinse stations other than the foot pump hand wash station by the porta potty. The other alternative was to ask a vendor to use their melted ice to rinse out...which a lot of people were doing. Saliva and germs were a concern for one in our group.

It seems for the beers we do like, we can find people we know in other states to hunt them down, but mailing them here is apparently illegal. Such a bother.

I've decided to do my own gathering of friends for a beer tasting. I've been wanting to do this for years and just never pulled the trigger. Instead of $40 at the local beer fest, we could do this: You're invited to join us for this project. Your budget is $25-30 and to buy that amount in build your own six pack beers. Here they are less than $2 per bottle at the stores. With tax, you're talking about 12-13 beers per person being sampled out. You get 4 people that's 48 beers right there to try. You start adding other couples and next thing you know you're looking at GALLONS of beer. So realistically we can even lower that some more to just bring a six pack. I'm still toying with the idea, but the three I've run it past so far are game.

Just, my place is too small, and everyone else is at least a 30 minute - one hour drive. Someone has to stay sober.

Here are a couple I have sampled lately:

IMG_0433.jpg


I thought initially this was a stout and didn't see it was an Imperial Ale. So the cinnamon stuck around a little longer than I thought it would. But I really liked it was a sweet cinnamon instead of a hot cinnamon. Would recommend this but would probably just have a 22 ouncer at a time.

Got these for the Bengals game yesterday, I like that as an APA, it wasn't too hoppy. Not bad, but a little pricey at $13 for a 6 pack.

WELL THEY DO! AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER! THEY'RE 42 OZ!!!!!!!

I picked up a couple of OE 800's. I haven't had OE in a long ass time. I wish the store had had Mickey's, that and Colt 45 are probably my fave cheap malt liquors that I drank in college

Recently a hole in the wall closed down and the building was purchased by a craft beer lover. He's now up and running with 40 on tap. He also has a cooler full of other fun stuff along with the Buds and Millers of the world. 6 of us went check it out last night.

Fun night. I found a few that he'd let me sample where I was like, "I like it, not a pint worth, though." But he is one size seller. Either it's a 10 ounce pour or a pint, depending on the product.

I had a Scottish "Backwoods Bastard" ale done in bourbon barrels that was really good for the first few sips but I couldn't drink it fast enough and it became a chore at the end. I had forgotten to bring a pen so I can only vaguely say he had an IPA that I actually really liked. There was a "Gulfwater Gose" from Florida that was really good. I also had a "Blueberry Crumble" sour that was outstanding.

There's a banana bread beer I see at the fancy grocery store here and it's REALLY good but comes in unrealistically large bottles for one person to drink before it goes warm. He had it on tap and I think it was the last one I drank there before we ran out of cash and retreated to my place to raid Mrs. SFH's IPA stash. (Last week I went grocery shopping at walmart for 2 weeks worth of food, $140. She then went to one of the better stores and only bought IPAs and Belgian wheats and it had to be close to $80 worth of build your owns and prepackaged shit).

It's been so love/hate with me and IPAs this year. For vacation I had "Holy Roller" IPA in the pool and it was amazing. Got really messed up on it. Our friend swears by IPAs and Mrs. SFH is taken to them as well.

Oh and this guy poured out an "HPA" beer. Hemporer by New Belgium. I almost threw up (I can't stand the smell) and didn't taste it. The shit smells like marijuana. He warned the two in our group splitting it, "I don't know how to describe it other than it smells like dank weed." I don't know about the "dank" part but have fun explaining that to the cops if you drink too much of it. I'm being a stick in the mud over it, just driving home the point that beer definitely wasn't where I parked my car but for those that are INTO that sorta thing, that might be of interest for you to look into (but yuck :p ).

Jucifer:

Falls under IPA. It's damn good. It's brewed in Hammond, LA by "Gnarly Barley" but because "craft beer" has one price point and "domestics" have a different price point, no it's not cheaper just because it was brewed two hours east. You're looking at $5-$6 for a 12 ounce can and on tap I've seen as high as $10. Very safe IPA if you're iffy or new to them.

Tonight when I went cash out my bar tab for 8 Juicfers (3 were mine), 2 Bud Ice (I felt nostalgic for college when I saw that), and 3 or 4 bottles of water my tab was $28.

Now, we heard the lead singer order a Jucifer before the show and get charged $2.50, but he's the entertainment, obviously he's getting a deal. And while I know the nice bartender saw me unloading and helping the band set up, I was clearly not in the band. And the tab was under my wife's ID and card.

So we're panicking looking around trying to see what's wrong on the receipt and saw the sign on the wall, "Domestics: $2.50."

Best I can figure this bar got their hands on it because one of their kids told them about it (It's a rural daiquiri shop that pays my friend's band a week's worth of wages in most fields). As long as they're getting their $8 a hit (and more for larger) in daiquiri money, I don't think they much care about us beer drinking folk. I'd still like to know what their ROI is on this stuff for $2.50 a can if other places are charging $5+. It's not like they had back stock either. She told me after the second round she had one 6 pack left and if me, Mrs. SFH, AND our friend were on an IPA mission, we better start rationing or doing some rock, paper, scissors. I switched to Bud Ice then water, friend switched to Miller Lite, water and singing, Mrs. SFH knocked back a few more IPAs then switched to water.

But yes, if you come across it in your area, it's great in the can, bottle, or on tap. I'd imagine you'll never find it for $2.50 though.

(I referenced this beer in an earlier post)

Very safe starter IPA. I prefer this one as cold as possible but even when it gets to slightly above chilled, it's not torture like a lot of IPAs are for me. It's a local brew so I don't know if it'll be in your location. A 6 pack cost me the standard craft $8-10 depending on where I'm shopping. It was $7.99 at Wal-mart. A smaller store, you can expect to pay $10 but it's worth it.

Now that said, one of the smaller local venues here known for multi-tap beers and live music was serving this on draft the other night. At $8 per pint. It's only got a 6.3% ABV so it's not a heavy hitter, but definitely more character than a light. I'm not into using all the fancy adjectives like on the beer review sites, I'm just saying I'm not an IPA guy and I like this one as much as the last IPA (Jucifer) that I reviewed.

Accidentally acted like an adult earlier: "No, we have Ghost at home, pick a different beer."

I was referencing Ghost in the Machine. Another local brew, IPA. It's not as safe as the ones I've endorsed prior, but still pretty damn serviceable if you're on the fence. I will say though, it does represent my biggest complaints with the IPA craze: Once it gets above chilled it becomes wretched. So drink it fast or in an iced drinking container.

I first tried it at a beer festival, and yeah in a 2 oz sampler it's damn near heaven and "I've been so wrong about IPAs." But yeah...if you're nursing anything over a 10 oz glass on draft (specifically a commercially made 12 oz bottle) you're fucked on those last 4 ounces. Well, at least my taste buds anyway. You might like drinking sand. If so, more power to you.

This is not a chugging or tailgating beer, which causes a bit of a problem when you're spending $10.99 for a 4 pack. So, if you find it in your area either be prepared to share or eat shit towards the end of the bottle/pint.

My brother was in Horb am Neckar (a small town in Germany) recently and brought me these. I liked this Herforder but I can't say the same thing for the one on the right, tastes too strong. What a stingy guy. He has enough money to buy commercial property in Berlin but this is the best he can bring to his big brother: two bottles of cheap beer!

Accidentally acted like an adult earlier: "No, we have Ghost at home, pick a different beer."

I was referencing Ghost in the Machine. Another local brew, IPA. It's not as safe as the ones I've endorsed prior, but still pretty damn serviceable if you're on the fence. I will say though, it does represent my biggest complaints with the IPA craze: Once it gets above chilled it becomes wretched. So drink it fast or in an iced drinking container.

I first tried it at a beer festival, and yeah in a 2 oz sampler it's damn near heaven and "I've been so wrong about IPAs." But yeah...if you're nursing anything over a 10 oz glass on draft (specifically a commercially made 12 oz bottle) you're fucked on those last 4 ounces. Well, at least my taste buds anyway. You might like drinking sand. If so, more power to you.

This is not a chugging or tailgating beer, which causes a bit of a problem when you're spending $10.99 for a 4 pack. So, if you find it in your area either be prepared to share or eat shit towards the end of the bottle/pint.

Man she is running me broke with this craft beer snobbery. Our favorite music hole has Ghost for $8/pint and the service is so quick they refill before you get too low.

Her and my pal just went halfsies on $170 in one day only limited release stuff out of a brewery called "Parish" in Lafayette, Louisiana. It sold out online in the same way concert tickets do so she had to ask her impatient father to go wait in line there, and he did, for 90 minutes. That's true father's love right there, so much respect for that dude. It was a four pack each of two different beers, one a straight IPA and another was a combo of Ghost in the Machine and another beer made by a different brewery. Finally they split a wine bottle sized beer of some vanilla milk stout. It smelled amazing but SFH can't have milk.

Anyway in my own quest of beers, Sapporo Beer is something you've probably had or been offered if you've been to a Japanese restaurant. It's the most basic of beers when getting sushi and it is damn good. Last night our group went to a place in a New Orleans suburb called "Little Tokyo" and it was offered on tap. Holy shit, my friends, it was a whole new world of awesomeness. And because I was driving I couldn't drink more than two pints. After I finish this post I'm about to start blowing up some local facebook pages to start carrying it.

Also, I've come across another great beer that I've only had on tap (so far) called "Crying Eagle." That's what the bartender told me it was called. I researched and that's actually the brewer's name (out of Lake Charles, Louisiana). Since it was the Belgian I was drinking, it must have been their "Ready to Mingle" beer. It was served ice cold and while it was a Belgian, it wasn't in the same flavor as a Fat Tire or a Blue Moon. It had a nutty kick to it and (without sounding like a snob) had fruity tones to it. Honestly, I'm a huge fan of Belgians. This one apparently isn't a Belgian wheat, just Belgian. I'm not researched enough to know the differences aside from the obvious nomenclature and educated guessing involved. While Kronenbourg 1664 still sits on top my mantle of best ever beers on tap, we have a worthy #2 in this one. Their website seems to indicate it is a Louisiana only brew so that's kinda shitty...and the North Eastern part of the state is gray with a "not there yet" indicator.

Annually we have a beer festival here, organized by a veteran, and it benefits the veterans shelter. For $35 presale or $40 at the gate you get 40 tickets to sample many varieties of microbrew and home brewed beers 2 ounces at a time. Over the last 5 years it has gotten smaller with turnout increasing so much so that by 1pm (11am-4pm are the hours) almost all of the home brews are gone as are the smaller craft businesses. But if you show up right at the start you have to sit through all sorts of pomp and circumstance rah rah USA show boating (which I'm as 'murican as the next guy, but beer fest man, less jerking off to the Star Spangled Banner and more keg tapping).

I'd been crowing since about the 2nd year "we could do better! Get 10 friends to build a six pack at any number of places that sell singles and from there it's picking a site to try shit out." I once mentioned it to a guy with a really large yard but he didn't bite. Well he's going through a divorce now and his new girlfriend, someone I know pretty well, hit me up tonight with a proposal.

They want to start a COUNTER beer fest (not at the same time) and address the things a lot of our friend group feels is wrong with the existing one (so much so that we blew it off for the 2019 edition). As she shells out the details, she already has the local DA, police chief, and mayor equivalent on board. And they want me to be on the "Board" also. They're already lining up musical acts, a venue, security details, etc... Like a lot bigger than ten friends in a backyard. Target date is Spring 2021.

Thought I quit public service stuff like that, but I'm now wondering if "beer fest board of directors" can go on a resume' if these 2 knuckleheads don't break up and shit on the concept in the fall out.

If any of you are in reasonable driving distance to the New Orleans metro area, and have microbrewer friends, hit me up in the CFX DMs. Might be cool to have some out of town brewers and there's plenty of time to plan (and fail).

Guy I casually know just moved in next door. Brews his own beer. Has a keg in his living room. Enters a lot of the beer fests in the state. Standing invite to go drink with him and his peeps.


With social distancing, probably safer to drink outside. Generally home brewers go for the IPA style, which I've thankfully regained the taste for in the last 2 years. May heat generally doesn't favor IPA style, so we'll see what's up. Coming off working 60 hrs, so we'll see what's going on when I wake up.

Best part of shelter in place order is that breweries are delivering now. It's expensive since they all have at least a $40, usually $50 minimum. Damn. Me and the girlfriend have been drinking a lot of quality beer during the last two months.

There's a local beer in my fridge, a hazy IPA, called "Snowball Juice." What the rest of the country would call a "snow cone" gets called a "Snowball" here. I was expecting a syrupy sweet type thing with an IPA finish.

It tastes like dirt, and I don't mean that figuratively. It literally tastes like I'm getting my ass kicked and I face plant into the ground screaming and deep throat the fucking top soil on the playground. There's 3 more in that 4 pack. I need the boss to start hiring 18-20 year olds again that accept any sort of free alcohol.

Bought an 18 pack of Miller Lite (my go to shitty beer besides PBR) via grocery pickup. Turns out I got the aluminum bottle gimmick with the screw cap lid that you can reseal if you can't handle a full 16 ounces. The artwork is all 'merica-ish and it says something along the lines of limited edition. I don't know if the design is limited or if they changed up the recipe but it tastes different. I don't know if it's because the wide ass opening pours differently or if it is a placebo thing, but it's been a chore to drink the first one.

One of my fellow beer fan friends visited today and brought a 12 pack of normal Miller Lite cans. We wound up swapping his cans for my bottle cans. I'd caution against buying these.

Miller Lite probably only ranks above hobo beers and maybe Heineken for my taste preferences. To me, it just has a weird after taste of crappy cheap white bread. Bud Light is almost as bad but for random reason, I tolerate/circumstantially enjoy Coors Light (and the heavy versions of Bud & Miller)

I think I mostly enjoy it for nostalgia from the time Brock Lesnar said "I'M GOING TO DRINK A COORS BECAUSE BUD LIGHT DOESN'T PAY ME ENOUGH!" in one of his UFC post fight interviews.

I think I steer clear from Coors light b/c that's what my parents pound all night the second they get off work and then all weekend, since like 1995. When I first started drinking (the sneaky drinking we all did) I went with Coors b/c that's what I knew. So now, it just tastes like bad childhood, for me anyway. Y'all do you.

As a non-beer drinker (Hell, if I'm being honest, the only reason I'm not straight edge is sangría), I've always been curious: do guys ever tend to "inherit" the beer that their dads drink?

My dad drank PBR with salt on the rim cause it was cheaper than Corona so for me...no.

I think it was more common in the olden days and probably still is fairly common in rural places but I think most millennials and Gen Zers are like me.

I purposely avoid my parents' beer of choice (Coors Lite). When I was 15-20 I drank it b/c that is what was available. Once I was legally allowed options I tried all the different "lites" out there and settled between Bud and Miller as my go to in traditional bar settings. Last Coors I drank was at my Grandpa's grave when we buried his wife next to him. I wound up giving 3/4 of it to Grandpa.

That raises an interesting thought: what percentage of people who inherit their dad's beer started drinking while they were still underage?

My dad drank Coors Light but he never had more than a six pack of bottles in the fridge at any one time. I didn't really even drink until I turned 21.

I had no idea that was a ban that has gone on for 40 years!

Happy hour deals mostly went away where I live in Ohio in the last ten years or so. Most places seem to adopt the BW’s model of one monthly beer and mixed drink special.

I haven't been to a bar in the middle of the week in a while. I randomly referenced "Dollar beer night in college" to a younger colleague.

"what do you mean by dollar beer night?"

Are shit hole taverns not pouring $1 Millers on Wednesday nights anymore!?
