What's your favorite Beer?

That’s a great Veil beer.
Triple Crossing and Aslin last night.

You know that feeling you get after you've been drinking steadily for several hours, and you take a sip of beer and you are absolutely certain that if you take one more sip, you are definitely, positively going to puke?
Yeah, that's the feeling I got after the first sip of this:
Weirdest sensation I've ever had; it's not that it tastes bad, but somehow my body utterly rejected it at almost a cellular level. I tried it twice, months apart, once after a couple of other beers and once completely sober. Same reaction both times.
-
Hypothesis: it's because guava has a musky note that doesn't play well with lactose. I bet that stuff tastes like cat barf.
-
You should, just because my reaction was so bizarre. That can't be normal.
Of course, if Belgian customs wasn't what it is, and if I hadn't dumped the other two cans of it that I had in the pantry, I'd be sending them to you tomorrow…

Lactose does it for me. I stay away, except for a few of the OH Dream beers. Lactose doesn’t get fermented. That’s why it’s used. Are there other beers you like with Lactose?

@Joberwocky Im enjoying this one tonight.

Solid pickup @Sage954
Crooked Crab has been putting out some pretty solid beers -

Yeah, lots. Lactose definitely isn't the problem. On the other hand, I used to dislike IPAs, but that's become such an expansive category that it almost has no meaning any more. I think I'm going through some sort of full scale sea change in my taste preferences. I used to like stouts and porters, but lately, they've all tasted unpleasant. Too much smokiness; it's like licking an ashtray, which isn't the experience I want in a beer.

Nothing but stouts, so far, this week. First two are a new-to-me brewery. Revolution Brewing, out of Chicago. Limited releases, both were quite nice. Though, at $7 per 12oz can, they are a bit pricy. I definitely preferred the coffee version…..
Tonight's selection, from my favorite local brewer…..

I’m not so much of a beer drinker but maybe I need to change. This figure from the BBC maybe suggests we can save the world by eating less and drinking more beer?
-
How did you find that? I loved it.
Lervig is starting to piss me off… Their bourbon BA barleywine is now called PARAGON and is twice as expensive as it used to be... They now have a whole line of ultra expensive BA stouts... There's even an EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE PARAGON...

That being said: they'e all horribly good and I will try and get the whole OFF THE RACK line in me by the end of the year... #ambitions #Glasgow
