Ymm, Beer

[ClemmonsDevil]

Hey, you know what they say. Beer is like sex. When its good, its great. When its bad, its still pretty good.

I would disagree. I just won't drink a domestic lager from a macro-brewery. No taste and I just don't enjoy them. I won't drink them if they're free, and I frequently go to conferences where the domestics are free. Lately I have wished I liked Bud Light, so I could drink it. Just can't do it.

I am very much in agreement...I generally have one or two beers and I don't want to waste the experience on crappy macro beers (I will say that for years some of the Canadian standard beers have been considerably more flavorful than their American counterparts...

I believe in situational beer. If I'm mowing the lawn or settling in for 6 hours of NFL, I have no problem with a few cheap boring beers. Or if I'm at a baseball stadium with a hot dog in my hand. But if I'm having a nice meal or sitting in a beer garden, I can't imagine ordering something so light and flavorless.

Thank you for that. The long, beer thread nightmare is over. Let's put this behind us.

I've enjoyed Hillman's the times I've been there, especially the ability to eat and drink outdoors during the pandemic. The tables in the back along the creek are a lot more quiet than the ones on the road. The biggest drawback is that they are split between food and beer and are more limited in each area than places that specialize in one or the other.

I've not been to Cellarest, so I can't offer an opinion.

As I wrote in another thread, the very best brewery/taproom I've been to is cursus kĕmē:

https://smokymountains.com/asheville...s/cursus-keme/ and https://cursuskeme.com/

Hard to find (hidden off Swannanoa River road) but well worth it.

Visited Cursus Keme for the first time on Saturday, and loved the place. Great inside and outside feel, and the beers I sampled were uniformly strong. Thanks again for the nudge in that direction.

I enjoy the spiced holiday brews. Having a Troegs Mad Elf now. Lots of spice, a bit creamy, high abv to make my stockings tingle.

Well not exactly.

Some of our old crew and I are uploading an AI virus which will copy/paste every beer review from Beeradvocate, Rate Beer, and Untappd on a minute-by-minute basis into this thread for the next 30 days. So that should start with about 52,000 posts and overtake the LTE in no time.

It's all in good fun. But my apologies, this virus upload is taking longer than I thought and it's slowing connectivity gateways and posting over here. Thanks for your patience, it should be all done and rolling soon.

I mean no not really. My last post was a joke. Not guilty for the bad gateway. Just playin.
