$16.99 too expensive for an excellent 6-pk? We may have to reconsider your beer snob credentials. haha. Oracle is very good and worth the price.Originally Posted by beano
I went to my local Total Wine and they did indeed have The Oracle..But at $ 16.99 a six, I passed..But I did pick up a 12 pack of Lagunitas Super Cluster..Excellent !!
Just picked up a 4 pack of Founders Dank Wood Bourbon Barrel Aged IPA. Won't get to try it this weekend, has anyone had it yet?
^^^ It's enjoyable at the time, but not a memorable beer. YMMV.
If it's not memorable, how can you be sure it was enjoyable?
Today I had the first Sip Of Sunshine I've had in months. I still enjoy it once in a while. Also just had a Frost "Lush". That stuff is still good too.
<sig out of order>
No!! Will run out today and get one!!
It was enjoyable but wouldn't buy more. Better things to drink.If it's not memorable, how can you be sure it was enjoyable?

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I found out about 10 minutes ago when a badge popped open on Untappd. Drinking a Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA now. Decent, but not a must try.

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
I've tried about 30 IPAs and nothing comes close to that one for me
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
No comment...
The jokes really do write themselves.
However, your prime market, men with beer guts, aren't well served by this.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
Having some Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout from Cigar City. Last year on the way to ProgDay, I stopped at a craft beer store in Winston-Salem, NC and bought some bottles. I had one when I got home and was not all that impressed despite positive things I'd heard about it. Nearly a year in the cellar has done good things and I'm enjoying this much more. It's similar to Bell's Expedition Stout now.
That one is really good.

I have a very lame question for the esteemed folks in this thread. Is there such a thing as a really good light beer, and if so, what might it/they be?
A Comfort Zone is not a Life Sentence
Love the Rush name, but I, too, expect a beer brewed with peppers to have some bite.
If you want one with a little bite, but not so much it's not a beer anymore, try one of these, if available where you are:
Cerveza Chilebeso®
A lager with jalapenos. Recommended. I had one a couple weeks ago at their brewpub. I have seen it in 22 oz. bottles.

I would say no... if by light you mean calories/carbs

Depends on what you mean by “light”. If you are talking calories I don’t know any, with the possible exception of Guinness which is both low in calories and alcohol content.
If you are just talking low alcohol there are quite a few good session IPA’s out there (Founders All Day IPA being a particular favorite of mine), and several of the micros have come out with lagers that are low alcohol, but have much more taste than your typical Bud or Miller (Bell’s Lager Of The Lakes, Founders Solid Gold are two good examples).
The Germans can make lager with very little alcohol (0,5%) that is quite acceptable in taste:
This one is the most famous

This one has been praised by a friend, but I haven tried it

I don't think you can get it out your way, Lou; Nightshift's Whirlpool (a pale ale) is only 4.2% with a delicious citrous/pineapple hops flavor. Very similar to Heady Topper but with half the alcohol.

Looking forward to my day in court.
