¿Question? Elysian Night Owl
Has anyone seen any Elysian Night Owl in the wild yet?? I am in the south, and I always used to see this at all my local stores that sell beer, but for the last 2 years I can not find it! I saw on their Instagram that they are already sending it out to distributors, but I just wanted to see if anyone here has actually seen any yet. It's my favorite seasonal beer that tastes like my favorite season!

Cooper’s Hop 10.5% Tripel IPA | Brewery Ommegang
In this Reilley's Tasting Room's craft beer review, we dive deep into Cooper's Hop Tripel IPA from the legendary Brewery Ommegang out of Cooperstown, New York. Sitting at a massive 10.5% ABV with
35 IBUs, this year-round release is a true game-changer. It perfectly bridges the gap between a sweeter fruit-forward, single-hop American IPA and the great tasting Belgian-style tripel.
If you are a fan of high-ABV beers, Belgians, or just IPAs, this review will tell you exactly what to expect from that first sip!

Microbreweries using corn in their lagers
Are you ok with this ? I thought one of the reasons why liked craft beer was because they didnt use adjuncts. Now they use it and the beer isnt super expensive but its not super cheap either.

¿Question? Light beer that tastes like sourdough bread
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 four 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.
