Guys please don't mess up the thread.
I'll be honest, thought this was kind of meh. The Memes on the other hand....Coeur de Lion said:Ran out at lunch and grabbed a 4 pack of Two if by Citra. Will report back.
Yeah, either Memes beer would have been the first choice, but they were gone except on tap with no growler fills, so I didn't drive down to Dyer and settled for this one at the beer store. Rated over 4 on BA, so we'll see tonight. Supposedly doesn't have the NE mouthfeel but is a major Citra bomb, which would work for me.I'll be honest, thought this was kind of meh.

How much was it for the 4 pack?Two if by Citra is good IMO -- not a NE IPA at all except for the low bitterness, but still a pretty good Citra IPA. Don't know that I'd buy it again given the competition in that price range (Todd / Transient / Bare Hands DIPAs / 18th Street Shadows series), but it's a good beer.
There is a really awesome bottle shop a few miles off the strip called Khourey's. Killer selection and great prices. They also have some taps and full liquor. Most vegas trips aren't about to-go purchases, but that place was a god send when we did an air bnb mansion bachelor party weekend.Trip planned for Las Vegas. Any beer related must dos?
See if you can track down some Mosaic IPA from Community Brewing out of DallasSpeaking of bachelor parties... I'm off to Austin in the am. Going to Jester King Friday!
Yep. Least surprising news of the day, I've been saying for months that FB would be the next FL brewery to sell out.Another one bites the dust as I read that Constellation has purchased Funky Buddha. :(
Wow. Makes 18th Street look reasonable.Over $20 w/ tax lol.
Yes. This was outstanding.See if you can track down some Mosaic IPA from Community Brewing out of Dallas
So you have something to keep you hydrated while you wait at Franklin's?Going to be in Austin on Sunday, hoping to get an Uber or Lyft for 50 round trip so I can hit Jester King
no Franklin's. Can't get there early enough to get brisket.So you have something to keep you hydrated while you wait at Franklin's?
Me too! Also Exit Buddy APA from Windmill. Jade and Moteuka. Again good, not great, but more tolerable on price at $12.ditka311 said:Lazurite
Let me know what you think Sebowski. I was there in the Spring. Cool place. The owner gave the small group tour. Definitely a different style than most breweries.Speaking of bachelor parties... I'm off to Austin in the am. Going to Jester King Friday!
I didn't like it either. And it's either 4 months old right or they DB brewed it again.Don Quixote said:Cross Eyed Stranger. Collab between Devils Backbone and Ocelot. With apologies to Sebowski, not my favorite. I think both breweries make better IPAs on their own.
Age could partially be it. I didn't look at the date. I was over at a friend's and he had it there.I didn't like it either. And it's either 4 months old right or they DB brewed it again.
Does Labatt Blue count? If not Strohs for meI'm bracing for a hail of empty beer cans to be thrown at me, but is Hamm's the best cheap beer out there? Tried it for the first time in my life and I gotta say it's not bad. Doesn't have that after taste that the mass produced cheap beers have. Kinda smooth actually. At 30 cans for 10 bucks, can't beat the price.
What's your favorite "go-to" cheap brew?
I will have to give Labatt Blue a try, thanks for the tip.Does Labatt Blue count? If not Strohs for me
Labatt in the bud / Miller tier so may not qualify as "cheap"Statorama said:I will have to give Labatt Blue a try, thanks for the tip.
Strohs gives me the squirts
Not sure if it's cheap but probably Dos Equis. Or Miller Lite I guess.I'm bracing for a hail of empty beer cans to be thrown at me, but is Hamm's the best cheap beer out there?

Over the last year or so I've consistently seen Dos Equis at around $11.99 for a twelve pack. A dollar a bottle is a nice buy, and right in the Leinenkugel's sweet spot. At a casual glance, I'm not seeing a lot of truly "cheap" packaged beers out there. Milwaukee's Best Ice, JW Dundee's Honey Brown, Keystone....things like that. Sounds like a good idea for a cornhole... "Bad Beer Fest"ditka311 said:Not sure if it's cheap but probably Dos Equis. Or Miller Lite I guess.
I think it's already in PA. Definitely seen a few DB beers.Two Saturdays ago I was travelling from central PA to VA along 81 south. I stopped for gas and lunch at a Sheetz in VA. They had a walk in cooler at this Sheetz with beer. We don't see beer in convenience stores often in PA (although it is starting to happen recently) so my interest was piqued. They had some local VA beers including Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager. Vienna Lager is one of my favorite styles of beer and I really wanted to try it, but I had a long drive home and didn't have a cooler with me.
Fast forward to last night... I was eating dinner at a local golf course and a representative for Devil's Backbone brewery was at the restaurant giving samples of the Vienna Lager. It was excellent. He said they are going to be selling bottles in the PA market so they were sending kegs to a few local restaurants to get samples out to the market. If you ever run into it, I would definitely recommend it.
Thanks for telling me about that place....Went back last night...had about 15 different sours. So awesome.
