I haven't seen that one yet, but the Little Yella Pils is still around here - Oskar's has an "East Coast" brewery out near Asheville, NC now (as do Sierra and New Belgium).  I like that more of them a trying to do lagers, but it's not as easy as it may seem - and they can't mask the mistakes by overloading the hops.  Still, imported German pilsener for the price I paid is a good "in-between".


Did you know New Belgium got bought up by Kirin? They were employee owned; wonder how that sorts out. And Stone just sold to Sapporo. Doesn't matter as long as it's good, I guess. These buyouts do bring beer to the hinterlands so I guess I shouldn't gripe...

If I could still drink beer, it would be mostly German lagers (Paulaner was a favorite), Guinness, and an occasional IPA like Little Sumpin or Dogfish Head.
I found most craft beers to be a either too malty/sweet, heavy, or bitter...not good drinking beers.

I have a hard time spending craft brew money for what is essentially "Good Bud™©®" but I do like the trend of good breweries doing "plain" beers. Oskar Blues has had Momma's Little Yella Pils for years, and I just got a mix-pack with their Oskar's Lager that's not spectacular enough to wow the snobs but to do that they'd have to push the style limits, right? Like make it *not* a classic American lager? Anyway, I thought it tasted something like I remember beer tasting like in 1978.


Being from New England (well...almost...NJ is mid-Atlantic, but my maternal family is Northern VT), we've had a good run of NEIPA's.  It's the go-to everywhere, and there are some great ones.  That said... it's getting harder to enjoy them in the summer.  

A friend started a brewery 6 years ago, and when the pandemic hit, he and several other breweries did a version of "stimulus beer".  My recollection is that they were selling it for $3/six-pack...as one would for "stimulus" beer.  It was a hit.  A nice, light, pils.  Bud-esque, but a little bit more depth to it. It was so popular, they added it to their core rotation. I like it more and more the warmer it gets outside.

Seems like there's less call for German beers lately with all the craft brews and IPAs around.  One local bar has a good German pilsener on tap.  Warsteiner is predictably good stuff, especially on these hot days.  The local supermarket sells it for $13.99 a twelve-pack, cheaper than Becks, and the Becks they sell is brewed in the US.  I like it more than Becks anyhow - even the imported version.

Just spoke with my BIL in Oregon, who had a Jubel on Nitro over the weekend....and said A) it tastes more like he remembers it tasting a few years ago, and B) it was really good.

I'll grab some if I see it.

That Wreck the Halls stuff... I had two cans last night about an hour apart and that was way too much. In a so-good-it's-dangerous sort of way. Glad I didn't have any plans.

So I was cruising thru Costco yesterday and I usually get a case of Jubelale when it comes out but saw this "Christmas" beer from Full Sail and thought hey okay. It's pretty awesome. 8.5% so take it easy, but malty, not radically hoppy but it's an imperial IPA so it's hoppy enough. Really a top flight beverage. Despite being a "holiday" offering, it has no pumpkin spice or cranberry/nog/spice just a good stout beer well made.



One of the first micro-breweries I ever went to...around 1990.  Amazing location... Hood River.  Their beers have been hit or miss for me for a while, but they used to make a "fest" version of one of their "Session" beers that were released around the holidays and were really good.  Gonna pick up some of the above if I see it.
