pjbear05 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 As far as some "German" beers going South, not surprising. Spaten-Franziskaner-Brau is now owned by macro brew conglomerate Anheuser-Busch InBev. Who has tried taking over even the crafts. They lured Goose Island in, but when the tried with Dogfish Head, owner Sam Calagione basically said, "piss off, trolls." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Free ones. which are ice cold. free goes along way and i can drink most beers. not scotch ale. german beer is hit or miss for me. lambics and other open fermented beers are not my cup of tea either. most mexican beers are ok but in general avoid them due to their "B" status. yikes PBR me ASAPDon't count Beck's as a hit or miss German beer. When it was imported to the U.S., it had a great taste. As soon as it got taken over by a brewery in St. Louis, Missouri, it naturally turned into piss. It was usually good but not always. Not the fault of the brewer but at times in the 80s i would encounter a batch past their expiration date. I liked becks and especially becks dark. I was actually thinking about german wheat beers and I think Spaten which kicked my ass once. German beer wasnt the only offender in the pre micro brew days to be like that. I cant the remember the last saint pauli or grolsch i drank. used to love them bothNo expiration date involved. They just decided to put a Miller Light-type crap in a Beck's bottle and sell it at a higher price. American beer - just kill me now. i dont doubt you but i also dont think i have drank any becks in the past 25+ years. regardless, beer does go bad in bottles. That sucks they ran a great beer into the shit zone. like i said, back in the day becks dark was top shelf beer. i have read that the heinken that they sell here in the states is a far cry from the original.I appreciate your comments, Beck's was my choice for many years, but beer can't go bad in bottles if the expiration date is right, unless you fill it with sub-par ingredients. You must understand this company's move messed up my life. :boohoo: all you can do is grin and beer it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, there's a beercation, head up to Milton, or better still their pub in Rehoboth Beach. Ah, my next one will likely be back in MI-but that won't be too shabby.

As long as Spaten wants to remain one of the 6 official Oktoberfest beers, it will have to be brewed only in Munich.Despite it's ownership it will remain it's authenticity.

condemned2bfree Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I like Imperial IPA'S cask conditioned as a style, but appreciate any beer that's in my hands. :D I like a lot of Czech Rep lagers. The Bakalar dry hopped Pilsner is very good. Along with Bernard, and Svijany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
