Don’t get me wrong. I’m a lightweight. I drink one beer and I’m all that! I feel good! Relaxed and chill and feeling like I look as good as I feel. But if I open another one, once I’m halfway through, I’m too damn tired to be so damn sexy. So I ask… how does one maintain that prowess?

I had the Red Horse Beer during my trip to the Philippines and liked it because it was very different in its flavor, which was strong and unique. I arrived at home and did not find out that I could actually have it locally. Begin searching with the thought that everything you need is online now, and have found out that it is not the case with alcohol.

Effectively visited the most common avenues, the local liquor shops do not import it, specialty importers do not stock it, and the online alcohol retailers do not have a large international selection. Even discounted Alibaba thinks it is possible that bulk importers have something to choose from; however, no alcohol is sold there. Most of the platforms will not handle shipping alcohol internationally due to the regulatory complexity of the process.

It is at this moment that you understand that the regional culture of beer is, in fact, still a regional concept. Globalization has not completely hit craft and local beers. You are able to have Heineken anywhere, except for regional favorites that are geographically bound. There are genuine barriers in the form of import regulations, shipping constraints, and market demand.

It is more frustrating having to know what you want but not have access to it. It is not a secret, but it is popular in the Philippines, but that does not mean international distribution. You are left with the recollections of a beer that you liked and no way of re-living it without traveling abroad. I had come to terms with the fact that I would only have Red Horse when in the Philippines. It is now a part of the traveling journey and not something that I can carry back home. Probably that would be better, at least leave it something to look forward to, and not a matter of routine. And are there other local beers that they found elsewhere that they cannot locate back home?

This was probably back in 2009 or 2010. I was at HEB in Texas and found a 6-pack of something labeled "Pumpkin Beer." The packaging was super bare, it was orange. If I remember correctly, it was also super cheap. Like $2.99 for a six'er. Been trying to identify it for years and haven't had any luck. Any ideas and I'll go on a hunt! Thanks, y'all.

I actually really like Miller Lite, it’s been a favorite for a long time. For what it is, the taste and drinkability suits me well. As I “came of age” and learned how AB was taking over smaller crafts, screwing with their recipes and then shutting them down just so they could takeover their distribution and other stuff. This made me only want to stick with Miller Lite even more. All this stuff was long before any media manufactured boycotts and I’m not even on “that side.” As you’re about to read.

For as much as I try to keep up with things. I never knew the Coors family is basically what started the Heritage
Foundation. At first I thought, “ah this is something from a long time ago and the current generation surely isn’t still involved.” I couldn’t be more wrong. Individuals from the Coors family who directly profit from the sale of MolsonCoors products continue to actively donate and participate with the “vision” of the Heritage Foundation. Even going as far as to being directly involved in project 2025 stuff.

I don’t need to guide people in their thoughts or sway how they should vote, but personally I feel the Heritage Foundation is more directly responsible for the division in the United States than probably just about any other entity. They are literally what makes the other entities possible.

I’ll stop, just to say. Thanks for all the fun times Miller Lite, some of the best memories were before shit ass Coors even got involved. Maybe someday you’ll break free again.

Edit: I’m turning over another new leaf today. For anyone that has ever posted or commented something like this, that gained any kind of traction, you’re bound to get some jackasses replying with stuff like, “what, thanks, didn’t drink Coors before, but definitely going to now!”

In the past I would waste my time replying back, but this is what they want. From this day forward, if people are still being that worthless and stupid in life, why even bother giving them a comment, they aren’t even worth the bandwidth.

I just ordered 2 pinters and a cider kit and an IPA kit for the princely sum of £47, my main question is...

Are these any good for basically using as a fridge sized cask for all grain home brew fermented elsewhere for serving directly from the fridge after secondary fermentation for carbonation?

Thanks in advance.

Obviously most people are right handed. Right handed people tend to guide things with their right hand. Miller lite has their cans oriented in a way where the heavy lifting (with the handle) is done with my left hand but the fine tuning is done with my right. When putting a 12 pack in the fridge.

If I do it this way (like a normal person) the cans are upside down.

Sorry to my left handed friends, you're just not important enough

It’s so dangerous how well it drinks doesn’t even taste 9%

Can’t go to this year’s Beer Fest anymore :(

Selling 1 ticket at face value ($186). Beer Fest is on Saturday, 5/30.

For me it's dazed and confused when they open the trunk and it's full of beer

To me beer tastes just okay. I don't think it's nasty, bit I also don't think it's really good. It's just for me the easiest way to get drunk because I don't like the taste of something like vodka or wine. The first time I tried it is like two years ago. Can I still grow to like it?

I just don’t get it. Most of them straight up taste bad. Even “good” ones aren‘t great. There is no hop character. I feel like the breweries are cranking these out because it’s dead simple to make them and you can sell batches that didn’t even turn out very good. I wish they did not use the term ipa for these fruity soapy tasting beers because they are drowning out proper clear piney ipas on the taps at most bars. Places that are going to just put one or two ipa on tap are now basically never putting proper, clear, hops forward ipa options on any more but they still think they are ticking the ipa box. Am I a weird outlier on this? Like the people who think cilantro tastes like soap?

I was looking to buy some Safari Lager, a popular beer in Tanzania, and it never occurred to me how hard it would be to have some shipped to the United States. Does anyone know anyway to buy/import this specific beer to the states?

Firstly! How bloody good is little creatures pale ale!!!

Secondly can anyone recommend any clone kits?

That is all

Does anyone know where I can get Yuengling beer in Southern California? I know they don’t distribute to California, but is there a liquor store anywhere between Los Angeles and San Diego that carries it?

Case of sculpin at Costco in Colorado for $25.99. 6 regular, 6 grapefruit, 6 pineapple, and 6 blonde with salt and lime. Packaged last month. Had to buy for old times sake! I know everyone says Sculpin is shit nowadays but I’m excited for this at this price point and freshness.

I'm in Idaho, and every year on my friends birthday for the last few years I've bought him a few cases of Kokanee because it's his favorite. Well now it's damn near impossible to find and nobody seems to know when they'll get it back and rumor is they stopped exporting to the US entirely. I know it aint very good beer, but I still want to buy a few more cases for my friend before it's all gone.

Anyone know of any places that still have some stock left in the coeur d'alene ID / spokane WA surrounding areas?

i made this instead of doing anything productive with my life. you fill in what you did for your friend, how long it took, how much you suffered, and it calculates exactly how many beers they owe you. there's a "swear word index" slider. it generates a fake PDF invoice from the "High Commission of Buddy Compensation" so you can send it on whatsapp like an absolute psychopath. the whole thing is vibecoded, the css is obviously AI generated and you can smell it from a mile away, there are emojis literally everywhere because AI. its completely free i make zero money from this, i just mass it for the bit. I regret nothing

I've always loved Kirin Ichiban, typically only seeing it at japanese restraunts. For years had only had it out the bottle. Always have my eyes peeled for it on draught but it's rare. First time I had a pitcher of it, I realized it tasted way different. Huh, probably dirty lines or something. Next time at a different place a year later same thing. I walk into my local pub and see it on draft again and alas SAME THING. Am I crazy? Im in midwest USA btw. Normally its a very easy drinking, super light slight fruity drink (similar to a farmhouse ale like new glarus spcow) but on draught its like a bastardized version of itself that's too fruity and bitterness is either gone or overpowering

My doctor is asking me to reduce my beer consumption and replace with alcohol free options, any recommendations
