Whats the best beer you've had & why?

I love a good IPA and I mean a traditional one, none of this mosaic or citra hops shit. Beer was better before some dick decided it should taste like fruit or flowers.
If your into all this modern crap then I don't actually consider you a beer drinker.
Stick your "good" (and shit) IPAs where the sun shouldn't shine; if I wanted my tongue stripped I'd swig a mouthful of acetone from work! Dial back the abrasive hops and give me a rich, smooth malty brew any day.
 
the whole craft beer industry is going to have to clean itself up, seeing many go into administration lately. adding more hops to your 12 wildly varying but difficult to tell apart IPAs and asking for $100 a carton cant last.
I think so. Ever rising alcohol taxes sure don't help, but the number of hipster beers with just plain weird ingredients has to end somewhere. I am always good to try something odd but not many make me want to buy the next one.

Well in that case get you to a bottle-o and try the Monsuta Okinawa Dry. It's actually made in Japan and is delicious! (Unlike that licensed Asahi and Sapporo rubbish)
 
Very tasty drop.

You have a rather strange perception of hops, I gotta say! Do you think fruit tastes like paint stripper too?

I like all beers: hoppy stuff on the hotter days, maltier, roastier beers on the colder days. Lucky me, I guess!
 
I love a big bold IPA, really really good when done well.
chili pickle beer…….

It's - I assume - a take on a gose. Which is an old school beer that is very refreshing.
I made a gose recently, sour and salty and so easy drinking and refreshing.

I reckon I have tried a gose it has Coriander? I remember it being very odd and I like coriander. Whilst in Europe this year I drank a lot of lemon radlers. After drinking tons of water in the heat the need for something different hits and these were great. Light and refreshing. Also very cheap

One of the best beers I've ever had was a salty gose. It was post-work Xmas party - a hot afternoon and fewer beers have ever gone down as well.
 
For better or worse my body doesn’t get along with alcohol. One maybe two full strength and that’s it. So low strength or alcohol free are great to have. Lots of great options now. Having lunch the other week and bar staff bar recommended Heaps Normal XPA. Super tasty. Tastes just like a full strength XPA. Grabbed a pack today.
