The greatest beer of all time...

[JKoravos]

Around here, Longhammer is a good value beer. Usually $1 less per 6 pack than other big craft IPAs and it's not a bad drink. I still don't think it's the best, even from a value perspective. I might go with Sam Adams Black Lager there.

I am all about a good German-style lager or an over hopped IPA ... BUT, if I am tossing cost into the equation then I have to go with either Genny Cream Ale or Narrangansett Lager.

 

[bigbeergeek]

I would say the Ranger IPA from New Belgium is a much better IPA for your buck.

Im pretty sure the greatest beer of all time is Miller Lite. Its triple hopped!
-Jefe-

Wait. They put 3 HOP PELLETS in their brew kettle?!! Mind? Meet blown!

The greatest beer of all time is the one brewed by ancient Sumerians helping to give rise to human civilization, silly.

Not a fan...........just saying

 

[harrydrez]

Yeah, I have noticed they seem to be a very popular style on the forum, it's my dad's favorite style too. To me they just taste like hop tea.

Super hopped IPAs are something of a fad; so, they tend to attract a big following from people that are real into fads. I'm sure you know the type .

I know their rating of it. Remember the part where I said From a cost vs. quality standpoint of course."?
I prefer MANY beers over it, but cost wise its the winner IMO...MMMMM Bell's Two Hearted, Torpedo, Mojo, Mojo Risin', Big Sky IPA, DFH 60, Hop Stoopid, MGD 64 (just kidding), Lagunitas IPA and APA, Bubble Jack, the Unforgiven, and on and on. All so tasty yet so pricey.

Wow, how much is a sixer of it over there? Aside from DFH and MGD, most of those you listed sell for the same price around me. Torpedo is my go to if they don't have anything else.

I don't get the long hammer bashing.

At 6.99 it is GOOD and reasonable.

Best IPA: McNeil's Imperial IPA (MA)
Best Stout: North Coast Old Rasputin (CA?)
Best experimental beers: Lagunitas (Especially the Little Sumpin Sumpin and the Undercover Shutdown Ale) (CA)
Best mainline brews (pale ales, maibocks, stouts, etc): Rogue (OR)
Close runner up for mainlines: Heavy Seas (MD)

I feel like there's a good mix of East and West Coasters. West has the tops for now, but more and more quality stuff is coming out of the East.

North Coast is in Fort Bragg,Ca. I was there a couple of weeks and had Old Rasputin on Nitrogen. Unbelievably good Stout.

Works well as motor oil too. I bet it's better than synthetic!
