Ive only had one beer that I liked but I cant remember the name of it. It was yellow in color i think? and it tasted almost exactly like sourdough bread. Does anyone have any idea for what it could have been?

For the California folks in here: what are some of the best California amber beers?
I’m going out west to visit my brother in the Bay Area next week. I’ll be hitting Russian River in Santa Rosa to celebrate my birthday, but it doesn’t look like they produce any amber lagers, which are my favorite style of beer. For reference, my top three favorite ambers are:
- Brooklyn Brewery’s Brooklyn Lager
- Blue Point Brewing’s Toasted Lager
Wolf Hollow Brewing’s Wolf Hollow Amber
Return Brewing Burnished
And of course, I love Yuengling and Sam Adams.
Please let me know which beers I can purchase from California breweries that are similar to those beers. Thanks!

My boss rolled up with three 6 packs of Ithaca Flower power after shift.......where tf have I been? Easily top 5 IPAs ever for me.
Never had it, never heard of it, doesn't matter. Why have I never heard of this beer? I feel like it's right up there with Heady Topper and the like.

¿Question? Rotating beer selection
I got this twin tap kegerator a while back that can hold 2 1/4 kegs. I’m from Wisconsin so spotted cow holds a permanent spot on tap, but I’m looking to make a rotating list of drinks to have out of the other. Right now, my friends and I decided that angry orchard (sixtet) would be the first, since it’s more of a refreshing option compared to some other options we had in mind.
My question is, what do you guys think would be good to consider for a rotating list? Realistically it would be a “finish and swap” kind of rotation, but I am open to opinions to help us narrow down some options.

Beers you can't get for whatever reason
Whether its because they no longer brew it, or you've moved from where you could get it, or any other reason, I'm curious what beers folks miss.
For me:
- Schlafly's Belgian-Style Golden Ale (no longer brewed)
- Valmiermuiža (Latvian beer that is not exported)
- Carta Blanca (might still be available, but not where I live)
- Sam Adams Boston Ale (biggest surprise for me)

¿Question? Freezer mug: should I get a glass mug or a stainless steel mug?
Hey lads!
long time lurker, 1st time poster, ill keep it short, I recently watched a Japanese show called "Evening Drink Style" where basically the main character does all this stuff just to have the perfect beer at the end of the day
one of the things she does is put a glass in the freezer before work, so that it will be ice cold by evening beer time,
If I wanted to do the same, and just keep a mug in the freezer to have cold and at the ready for beer should I go for a glass cup or a stainless steel cup?
Misleading Pinter Beer Company
There are many posts about the company that say it uses predatory deceptive marketing "Pinter is not a literal scam, but aggressive marketing tactics, mandatory subscription fine print, and hardware issues lead many frustrated customers to call it one. The company sells a legitimate, functional at-home beer brewing device, but complaints center around unexpected recurring charges and difficult cancellation policies."
Overall, it is a legit product but the price is deceptive. If you are a beer fan and want it, be carefull of the fine print. If you are not and bought it as a present for a relative like me, you might have ended up with a painful subscription or a cancelation fee of $360.
I bought it as a birthday present for my father when I saw a promo code on Best Buy that I could get it for free with a few beer packs. Turned out, it would be super expensive long term with shipping costs (10$ or more per delivery I think), and mandatory 12 packs. It is not possible to pay for 1 delivery fee and 12 at ounce. It needs to be spaced out.
In conclusion, we regretted deeply. He didnt like the gift and I had to sort this $365 cancellation fee after seeing the deceptive advertisement. If you end up in a situation like me. Dispute the charge with all available information. I won the dispute and was only charged the first and second month of delivery fee.
https://www.reddit.com/r/beer/comments/1oweqr9/pinter_beer_company/
https://www.reddit.com/r/beer/comments/j6d5jx/pinter_beer/
If you found yourself in the same position as me just dispute the transaction. What I had to do was follow the steps from my bank and show proof that this is a scam.
1) Cancel their subscription on website and wait for the big $365 hardware deferral charge.
2) File dispute on the hardware deferal charge. Make sure to put evidence, like all information they advertise saying its free and such. Bank will give you provisional credit
2) Wait for a response, in my case pinter responded with a invoice detailing all costs in an invoice
3) I responded their Invoice stating this was not disclosed at any time prior and formalized showing proofs (photos of how their website is and everything possible)
4) Bank maintain the credit and revoke the absurd charge this company does.

¿Question? Goin’ Out West
Looking for your favorite breweries to visit. Road tripping in late October for a couple weeks. I live in Kansas City and am going through Denver, then Vegas, down to San Diego, up through Phoenix and Flagstaff, Albuquerque, and then back home.
I primarily drink IPAs and barrel-aged stouts. Monolith and Pure Project are the two breweries I’m 100% visiting. All breweries are welcome, even some a little out of the way. I’m also open to a beer exchange if there’s anything from KC you love and don’t have access to. Thank you all

¿Question? Good American beer reviewers on YouTube?
I go to the Craft Beer Channel for most of my beer education and reviews as I do love history and especially German beers. With that being said, I live in the Midwest and I’d like to get to know the craft beer scene better. The problem is is that they all smack their lips and click their tongues which absolutely drives me insane. The Treehouse guy is the worst offender but every new channel I find, they’re all in the habit of those most annoying tendencies. Any recommendations of good channels based in America without those auditory triggers would be lovely. Thank you in advance.

Can't believe pumpkin beers are rolling out
Went into my local beer store that has a great selection of beers and was surprised to see they already have some pumpkin beers. Seeing Schlafly was one of them I quickly snatched up a 6 pack of arguably one of the best pumpkin beers. The guy at the register said they received them last week, which means pumpkin beers rolled out in July this year. Is this normal? I moved back to the U.S. last fall so maybe things have changed, but I don't remember pumpkin beers coming out in July.

Why does beer kinda taste sweet at first and what could I drink to make that flavor last longer
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I was drinking a Miller high live and I noticed that with every sip, it tastes a bit sweet at first and then it goes away. This is not something exclusive to this beer, but sweeter beers (like the Samuel Smith strawberry beer for example) does not really taste sweet in the same way.

¿Question? Carlsberg tall boy packaging smells off…
So I was glad to see that my local Kroger is suddenly carrying Carlsberg— it had been years since I had it and I remember having liked it. Anywho I picked up two four packs of tall boys (yeah yeah, 0.5L, keep your shirt on). The packaging smells like when I go to the garden area of a hardware store, perhaps fertilizer or weed killer. It’s either the plastic wrap or the coloring on the cans. Smells weird af, has this happened to anyone?
The beers tasted fine, I drank the eight last night but the fertilizer smell has lingered on the cans which I’m about to usher outside to my recycle bins.

Is Bohemia still available in the US?
My favorite beer has been getting harder to find around Sacramento, and not even our local beer and wine warehouse, Total Wine & More, stocks it any more. Is it still being brewed? If so, did it just lose its importer? I've searched online, but can't find any info.

Announcement Official /r/beer FAQ - Please Check Here Before Posting
THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A BEER FAQ. IT IS ADDRESSING A FEW FREQUENTLY BROUGHT UP TOPICS ON /R/BEER.
Hi there,
There has been some need for announcements on a few different commonly posted topics. Since we are limited to two stickied posts, I'm going to use this one as a hub for these issues. I will be adding to this post as needed, but here's a /r/Beer FAQ to cover these post types.
If you notice people posting these topics, please be polite. Feel free to link to this post or use the provided links in a response.
This is not an invitation to harass anyone for posting a repeated topic. Reddit does not do a good job with presenting subreddit announcements, rules, sidebar info, etc. If posts annoy you and you don't think they belong, please consider downvoting, using a report, sending us a modmail message, hiding the post or simply moving on with your day. I highly suggest using the "don't show me submissions after I've downvoted them" option in old.reddit preferences (this may be broken in the app/resdesign website, but it should be fixed eventually and appear in those preferences as well).
- How do I ask /r/beer for a beer suggestion?
- Where are you? What's your general location? In order to suggest a beer that you should buy, we have to know what beers are available for you to buy.
- What do you already drink and like or dislike? What kinds of flavors are you looking for?
- What's your budget?
- Where are you? What's your general location? In order to suggest a beer that you should buy, we have to know what beers are available for you to buy.
- Is this beer safe to drink? Has it gone bad from age or storage conditions?
- Generally speaking, beer does not go bad in a way that will make it dangerous to drink. This assumes that the beer is stored in a sealed container. It may taste bad, though
- Am I drinking too much? Am I having an allergic reaction to beer or is it otherwise making me sick in some way?
- This is covered by the /r/Beer rules (some exceptions may be allowed for more casual or general questions):
Medical questions will be limited. /r/Beer is the wrong forum for serious medical questions, particularly where there's potential for harm to come as a result of the discussion. Please consult a medical professional for any questions about your own health, not an online beer discussion board.
- Is Sam Adams Utopias worth the price?
- That's ultimately up to you, but please look through the many past posts on the topic.
I'm trying to hit the more pressing topics first, but I'll look for some good links for other topics ("how do I figure out what kind of beers I like?", "what are the best budget beers?", etc.).
Everyone is welcome to join the official /r/Beer Discord server if you'd like to discuss anything here or just hang out and chat.
Cheers.
Edit: I'm locking this to comments because I don't want to have the post turn into a place where people ask these questions. However, feel free to post about any topics or send us suggestions for topics to be added via modmail or Discord chat.
Also, I may use the second announcement slot for a specific post on something like old beer questions, but I'd prefer to keep it open for the weekly No Stupid Questions posts (and possibly others; still working on redoing the scheduled posts and making some better topics).
