I was making a joke that always crops up on the beer threads. I love all beers, for the most part. Although I just can't bring myself to try a peanut butter stout.

Scrimshaw is one of my go-to's right now. It's "mainstream" according to the beer snobs, but idgaf

Scrimshaw is a very good beer !
Crushable
Agreed.
 
I am interested in Craft Beer / Breweries with BBQ
Just had great beer from Alameda Brewing Company @ Boonville Brewfest 2026 (my understanding this is on Park Street)
The brewer is Justin Green and definitely has great beers.
The brewery is next to Fikscue Craft BBQ (Best true BBQ in Alameda)
The line starts a few hours early and it appears you can get beer while in line for the BBQ for Alameda Brewery Company

Craft Beer and BBQ are a great combination….

I am going to list a few places that are currently serving Craft Beer and BBQ that are on my summer plans for visiting.

Solid Ground is one of them..
Urban Roots Sacramento

Most brewers have great food and or food trucks this provides a great alternative to the restaurant scene.

Probably many more

Umm, I hope the Turkish coffee I sent you wasn't a culprit?:angel On my knees, praying it wasn't so......

OMG, dude, i only used my little stovetop turkish coffee pot with the coffee you sent. sublime. i would have never wasted it on cold brew. besides, it was long gone before the ‘cold brew incident’.
 
In 2008 Starbucks had closed 600 stores and their stock had dropped 75%.
CEO Schultz had quit but decided return.
He closed every store for 3 1/2 hours and had every barista retrained.
He told them “we’re an experience company, not a coffee company”.
In 2010 stock up 200%.
Same philosophy today.
 
Look at how premium this experience is.

When I turned 21, the first case I bought was Rolling Rock. :laughing The bottles looked cool, that's all I knew. Another dude in the store smirked and told me to get a real beer.

That’s just the way it works….

When you are coming to Solid Ground, check out Geartooth, also in Placerville. They do barbeque and beer and both are great. Tiny little family-run place where the dad smokes the meat, the mom serves the food, and the two sons brew the beer.

Most IPA's are shit anyway. Just an easy way to mask one's mistake when brewing.

You can say that but I will disagree with you. If an IPA is masking poor process or mistakes, it is going to taste like shit. I have brewed a lot of beer, and mostly IPAs. In fact I have won 2nd place for my IPAs at the State Fair and at the World Cup of Beer. The reason I didn't get 1st place was due to very small issues or mistakes that the judges absolutely picked up on. I have brewed probably a couple hundred batches and can easily taste mistakes in IPAs.

I applaud your devotion to bottom tier type of beer.

I'm just tired of EVERYONE in the fucking world having some type of IPA. It's not the only beer type in existence.

Question
What is the beer type or brand do you actually like ?
If it’s the standard crap on tap at most locations, Coors Light, Bud Light, Ultra, or any other beer then Craft Beer lets us know.
Knowing what you like as beer drinking is key to avoiding other beer types.
For the part all beer styles are good just some better than others….that includes IPA’s
Geez…

I recently had a chance to spend some time in Germany. I drank a lot of fantastic beer. None of it was an IPA. Like I said, I enjoy most, if not all types of beer.
 
Let's not derail a coffee thread too much.

Love a good Pilsner/Lager like Modelo Especial and San Miguel Dark. Colimita is a great Mexican/German-style lager.

Stout when I'm watching English football at times...Nitro! Hefeweizen is also great such as Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier.
