This is why I only drink out of my vintage 1993 Flintstones McDonald's glass mugs.

Who needs the added confusion.

As annoying as a lot of the current beer trends can be, the current overwhelming trend in glassware - multicolored glasses ripping off intellectual property from various pop-culture sources - is infinitely worse

couldn't agree more. hype breweries bookending their fomo-mongering with pop-culture nostalgia-baiting really gets my blood boiling. and don't get me started on the rap lyrics.

Would you say that Hill Farmstead is the best of the best when it comes to glassware??

There's honestly no one else remotely in their glassware class, in my estimation.

I'm glad I never got into the glassware game. I've collected a few from here and there but definitely never searched a bunch out.

I typically only use Willi's and can shape glasses for the most part.

I've got a probably 300 .rar and specialty glassware pieces and routinely only use a willi from a local i don't care about and dishwash, a goblet from tyranena that's completely washed away, a teku from a local, or a quart mason jar for intiharing black tuesdays. workhorses.

The rest are literally just cabinet fodder at this point.

My glass game is sick, fam.

JK, I mainly use this glass when I'm not drinking from the bottle or can. Everything else is either in boxes or in the cupboard and doesn't get much use.

Beer sucks now

Beer sucks now

Beer doesn't suck, it's just been ruined by the people that don't like what I do. The brewers need to understand they only need to brew what I like, not what makes them money. Obviously these beers are a fad and will change because I don't like it.

Dont forget about not drinking beer because of the value and instead of selling it like a true commodity.

While everyone is bellyaching about cloudy IPAs and pastry stouts, I’m down here drinking all the great Pils.

Nobody makes a good brown ale.

Get off my lawn.

I’m currently on antibiotics that would make me puke if I consumed alcohol so no beer for me!

For some reason brown ales and amber ales are everywhere in Latin America. I was at a beer competition last week and might have been the two most popular categories after American IPA.

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

I was at a brewpub this past weekend and they had an Amber on tap but I got the Pilsner and an IPA (one of a few IPAs they had)

So, I'm just as guilty as everyone else for not trying the Amber.

I don't really like browns but that's the standard "old dude curmudgeon" response to the modern PNW beer scene.

I actually enjoy a brown ale on occasion, if it's executed well. HF George is great (insert copypasta here), Civil Life in St. Louis makes a really excellent brown ale that I found on tap last time I was in DC, Maduro from Cigar City is solid, and I'm sure there's plenty of others I'm forgetting. My local place does a brown ale with pecans and some cherrywood smoked malt, and it's one of my fall/winter staples at their taproom.

The only brown ale I ever loved was DFH Indian Brown Ale

The only scotch ale I can specifically recall enjoying is FFF Robert The Bruce.

Smuttynose's Old Brown Dog is a pretty great entry to the brown ale canon.

Voodoo Wynona's Big Brown Ale is very good as well IMO.

This **** is good. They also make a wild/soured version called 'Scots Gone Wild'

That sounds terrible.

It does sound weird... but it’s actually incredible.

I had to taste a soured Scotch Heavy in my Cicerone exam... it sucked.
