My wife even liked it and she hates any alcohol outside pink moscato and vodka with juice. A lambic would be a sour beer. Lambic and gose would probably be the two most common types. And yes, when done well they are incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are more done better now than there have been before (there are also more that are poor than there have been before). Sours are having a massive moment right now. I'm glad for it, because I really like sours and it doesn't seem to have put too much of a dent into IPA's which I love as well. Also, IPA's have been moving away from super bitter (which I kind of miss) to being very tropical in flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPA's and sours are raging, but so are stouts, porters, and even traditional "macro" lagers brewed by craft breweries. Beer in general is in the middle of a giant surge. Nearly every decent size city in the country will have a decent brewery with a good selection. Bars are carrying good beers, both in bottles/cans as well as on tap. The days of having to choose between miller lite and bud light are over, at least of the bar wants to stay relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The one thing about sours though as @The Gnat mentioned, there are some bad ones and the bad ones aren't tasty. Try a sample if you're at a brewery before committing to a pint, some are heinous. And don't get me started on smoke flavored beers, those things aren't meant for human consumption.

scar988 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Ahhh, I remember when I was super into beer. Can't stand where it went with all the IPAs and sours. none of those are tasty to me. Give me a Bourbon and coke all day. Ideally Bulleit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try some porters and stouts if you don't like the fruity/tart/floral stuff. As a side note, Bulleit Rye is my go-to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently digging a local Minnesota rye whiskey from Far North. Very likely best whiskey I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Not much better in the world than laying down and drinking a Coors light after a long day imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I had a bottle of Bacardi oakheart I got for just $8 and actually liked it. Super smooth. I'm not well versed in liquors so I'll probably have all of you lol'ing at me but whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
