Beck's Octoberfest is trash. Do not drink.

Had a Beer Works Oktoberfest tonight which was nice and spicy. Also had their Black o' Lantern which is a great pumpkin stout.

As expected. Becks make some shitty ass beers. I was unfortunate enough to try their "saphire" a few weeks back ... absolute garbage.

Even i wont stoop so low as to purchase Beck's. i dont like Oktoberfest beers at all. The style just isnt for me.

Also bought a Saranac sampler, their Adirondack and pale ale arent bad. I only got a single Legacy IPA, havent popped it yet.

The best of the best right there.

Drinking Rising Tide's cutter imperial ipa and damn is it fucking good.

Currently giving Yuengling Porter a taste, and it's actually pretty good.

All yuengling is good, minus their pilsner.

I might be the only guy here who hasn't tried a single beer from Yuengling .

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I don't think that's gonna hold you back in life.

They have good beer but it's not amazing or anything. I'm pretty sure you can only get it on the east coast. If you ever stumble across some maybe give it a shot. Or maybe you can get it on the west coast I don't know.

Had two Ritual Hop-o-matics on tap today. It's quickly becoming my go to local brew.

Newcastle Brown Ale is pretty good, I'd probably buy it again. When I first brought it home and opened one to try, it tasted watered down slightly. But after letting sit in the fridge for awhile it somehow tastes different. Goes down pretty easy.

Yeah it's pretty mild. A good intro to brown ales I think. It's something the whole family can drink so I buy it for like July 4th parties around here.

Newcastle is a cola in beer form. And more like RC Cola at that. I really can't endorse Newcastle. Any local competitor is better.

Never got into the brown ales. Which ones are considered top of the line?

Yuengling Premium is the first beer from them that I've been disappointed with. Virtually no flavor at all, not very exciting. I'll have to search for other pilsners. It's drinkable but it's not much to talk about.

I don't know about top of the line, but Sierra Nevada's Tumbler is fucking awesome. Dogfish Head also makes some really good brown ales from what i've hear.

Sounds like a good place to start. Cheers.
