We cut all the fluffy off of our dag. Now you can really see what a muppet he is with his big head and stick legs.

A would have a tough time picking a go-to beer. Style would be either IPA or IIPA, but I don't find myself buying the same beer over and over. If I had to choose one, I'd probably go with Odell Myrcenary.
Don't do it gav, BIAB community needs you
Obligatory ftfy
Apex predator from off colored for me. The latest batch (looks like they got logo caps now) is astounding. I want to start putting it in my steel water bottle for work
Sorry I meant monks cafe. Or wait, does it have red wiritng with a barrel on it?

I wonder if the monks cafe sour is the same as the house sour at Monks Cafe here in philly. I thought it was a u ique blend, and for sure it tastes different on tap then in a bottle.
Rumor has good problem to have DIPA coming out again middle of next month. I'm hoping I'll be in town for it. I'll totally pick up another case of that. At the brewery over the weekend they tapped a forking of dank hill with mango and kiwi. Damn that was good.
Man you guys actually talking about brewing. Giving me the itch to brew.
QOTD-
I like Founders All Day IPA and Perrin 98 Problems IPA as everyday accessible fresh beers that come in a can. Bells Two Hearted Ale too, although I don't get it as much because it comes in tallboys and it's a little higher ABV. Odd Side is close to me and has started canning and they do crowlers so I'll be exploring the space on that too.
In terms of homebrew, I like to go with something similar. Light, lowerish ABV, hoppy. I like to brew a simple Pale Ale and always have it on tap. Biermuncher's Nierra Sevada is a personal favorite as far as this goes. I like Wayne's Blue Moon clone a lot too. Not a complex beer but very quaffable.
Man, I need to get the garage cleaned out so I can start brewing at the new house. Been there almost 6 months already.

Keep HBT weird.
THE ARROGA-- no, you're right. That is a great one. I really need to buy more.
Saison is probably the latest style that I've really gotten a taste for. I really need to brew more of them too, I guess.
QOTD
The more I make of them the more I want them.
One beer that I would always want is a readily available German lager ~5%. Not overly fussed on the type. Helles, Dunkel, Pils, Vienna even a Schwartz. (Marzen is a bit big for day to day wear). Germany is not about to stop making and exporting these anytime soon so they'd qualify i reckon.
If a gun were put to my head I'd go with a Dunkel or a vienna, but Pils and helles are not without their charm.
I'd probably end up shot and indecisive.
ETA: if I was still home it's Guinness all day every day on draught. proper stuff, not served in a shaker or with a shamrock in the head or any other nonsense.
Just this. Nectar of the gods

- Readily available
- Always tasty
- Crushable when the mood strikes

It comes in 12 oz bottles, it's only 5.5%, and it's got some sweetness so it won't melt your esophagus. Win.
Not sure if they are different. I've never been to monks cafe, but I'm sure we'll stop there on the Duffman food tour some day.

I like that one. I've been told by sourbiersnobs who know more than me that it's a poor example of the style or whatever, but I enjoy it a lot. Very easy to drink. I like sours a lot, but most of the time I'm done after a glass or two and have to switch to something else. Not so with Monk's Cafe.

Have the mussels there and explain to @mhurst111 how it was the best you've ever had. Just to give him some incentive to take the Duff food tour too lol.
Yep, this. Not a great example of the style, but still a great beer.
Edit: Hunter_la5 you should give this a try too.

It's a little sweeter and has more of a cola flavor going on, but it's also good.

Yum.. Monk's is a great place and the mussels are very good.
Was just there Friday night.

Did they have anything really rare on tap or any bottles of Cantillon?
I'll look out for that. Is it easily found? Really need to try more sours. This sounds like a good option.

I cant recall having a Monks. Love me some flemish reds though. Now I want some duchesse.
Is this what you're talking about?
If so I'll pick it up. I'd no idea it was @iijakii aproved.

I think it's generally regarded as exemplary.
It's relatively easy to find in Denver, but not sure about elsewhere.

Duchesse is a lot more sour than monks cafe, so know that going into it. If I remember correctly there's a fair amount of acetic acid in that one.

Yeah that's it, lovely stuff.

I like both of those beers a lot. Like you said, great balance: sour enough to be refreshing, sweet enough to not feel like the enamel is stripping off your teeth.
Duchesse is good. More acetic than other examples, and their QC isn't the best so there's some variability. I prefer Rodenbach, particularly Rodenbach Grand Cru. But Duchesse is good.

Thanks all this is good stuff to know. Duchesse is easy to find in my area, have been wanting to get a bottle but something else always caught my eye that is a bit harder to find.

I agree . Rodenbach Grand Cru is the best of the three mentioned. I know I have some Monk's in the fridge but may have either a Duchesse or Rodenbach down the basement. May have to put one in the fridge.

I'm up for a DuffMan food tour, but I need to convince SWMBO that a trip to Philly is something we should do. Maybe I can work the 'the kids should see it, it's really educational' angle on her.

IPA is my spirit animal
I'd agree with this as well. I thought LA Follie was also very good but not better than Gran Cru which is cheaper here.
I end up buying Jai Alai often, but I'd prefer Two Hearted if it was in my grocery store. Jai Alai is a bit strong to drink much of during the week so I guess it fits in the fairly often category? I also drink Sweetwater IPA fairly often since it's much cheaper.

Philly is the cradle of liberty...also only two hours or so away from Hershey Park, Dorney park and six flags.
Love some Freddy good stuff, I think I have a bottle of my Flanders in the fridge and I'm taking the day off so it sounds like a good idea to me
Having a Tank 7. Really nice beer and I'm pumped that they distribute to MI now.
bottled 10 gallons of sours (all this sour talk reminded me to do it).. decided to have a session beer. then bottle some mead.
