Chat thread 95: old people can't hang anymore

[DeaconBrews]

I've yet to drink a seltzer. Is it like a Zima or Smirnoff Ice?

more like a la croix with booze. the good ones usually taste like the fruit flavor they are advertising on the can.

 

[BarcaDeac]

Pilsners rule. there are a few good ones brewed here.

 

[DeaconBrews]

lol beer-flavored water

uh...

sure you can say this for most american light lagers if you so choose but michelob ultra is especially guilty.

 

[BarcaDeac]

well I hope y'all are only enjoying Biden-endorsed plant-based beers

Burial does a double dry hopped pilsner that may be my most favorite of all

 

[WRS]

Juice, next time you’re down in the Triangle grab some of the Ponysaurus Pilsner. I like it a lot.

 

[06deacon]

No shame on crushing some seltzers.

Eh there should be

 

[06deacon]

I like la croix as much as the next person but those are for times when I’m intentionally not having alcohol. If I am then beer. Particularly in this age of absurdly available quality beer.

 

[BarcaDeac]

Spindrift >> x a million La Croix

 

[leftcoastdeac]

I've complained about this before but I've been really digging Pilsners and it's hard to find good ones outside the best of the liquor stores/bottle shops

Pilsner Summer 2021 imo!

I'm also team Pilsner. I like Pilsner Urquell and Czechvar as much as any of the good local options.

my favorite summer beer has always been brooklyn summer. sam's summer is p good too i guess. and obvs oberon

 

[wakephan09]

I've been drinking a lot of oberons lately. I loved that beer when I was first getting into beers in my late teens and early twenties but haven't had many since.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

is that the one that tastes like fruity pebbles

i used to crush those at pint night at fox and hound

Yes it is. Honestly what the fuck.

 

[mako1331]

Modelo Negra is the perfect summer beer.

 

[06deacon]

These days a chuggable session ipa is my typical summer beer such as founders all day IPA. But I’m still on board with domestics like yuengling, high life and hamms and there’s usually a case of that in the garage.

 

[06deacon]

Modelo Negra is the perfect summer beer.

Nothing like going to your local Mexican food joint and getting practically a half gallon of that for $5 in a frozen mug.

 

[wakephan09]

Modelo Negra is the perfect summer beer.

Not very especial

you do you, dude. i don't think seltzers are better than beer by any measure, but sometimes i don't want something that tastes like beer, ya know? their pretty light at 100 or so cals, very little if any carbs, and 5%+. caloric intake in drinks is a driving factor in what i decide to drink. about two years ago i had put on 20 or so lbs almost exclusively due to calorie heavy beer intake + not as much exercise as now. putting down 3 two hearted sets you back over 600 calories.

this is a fun summer beer: https://marz.beer/beer/chug-life/

If I want something non-beer and I'm either at home, at a friends house, or at a bar, I'll have a mixed drink (G&T or Transfusion). The only time I could see seltzers being the play would be beach or lake if I didn't want beer and didn't want to bother making a big Yeti mixed drink to nurse.
