watching 360 tonight and it is all Victoria, Victoria, and Victoria

Do yourself a favour and don't watch it. First Crack and On the Couch are OK but 360 is just a pile of VFL swill.

Lager is mass-produced garbage for people who haven't developed a palate.

It's harder to craft an IPA that actually tastes good and not like run-off from the car wash than it is to make mass produced liquid bread.

You obviously have no idea what brewing beer entails. Comparing an industrial brewery to craft brewing is stupid.

IPA just needs a crap wort and a bucket of hops and it's done. You can't just chuck shit in a tub to make a lager. I'd be surprised if you even know what lagering is.

 

[Cam Payne]

There's a few that have gone that way for sure. They're just as average as most lagers.

Most pale ales, dark ales, hazys and stouts sh** all over lagers.

Pales are shit. I am prepared agree partially to the rest.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Much like how all beers aren't Bush Chook, not all lagers aren't Bush Chook. There are some amazing lagers out there without even venturing into lager varieties like Helles/Munich dunkels/Marzens/rice lagers etc. Not saying that the PL/Freo one will be amazing, but it probably won't be swill either.

And yeah Paracleet you're pretty spot on in terms of lagers being fermented colder, which actually makes them more expensive to brew than pale ales/XPAs etc. That's why the go to brew for most microbreweries is a pale ale.

I mean I've assumed when you talk about lager you're a VB drinker.

Yes I know, temperature sensitive ect yada yada. Good pale ales still taste better.

Oh God have I started people arguing with each other over beer now?

 

[Cam Payne]

They're right. Whatever you think of the outputs in terms of flavour, making a proper Lager is a bit tricky as it involves pretty fiddly temperature manipulations and then keeping it near freezing for months. Whereas I believe that making an IPA isn't really any different to any other ale process.

Correct.

You just call in SA for a change of pace if you are concerned.

As a person who struggles with wheat and gluten I found I can stomach Millers but that's about it.

Stupid Gluten. Stupid allergies. Stupid genetics.

Yes, I know grammar isn't your strong point.

Check out Two Bays Brewery, they do some really good GF beers. O'Briens as well, but Two Bays are better

Grammar? No it's easy to assume you're a VB drinker based on your posting history.

Simple brews for simple folk

 

[DeadEyeJye]

I would be extremely surprised if the Fremantle Lager is anything other than underwhelming. It will be brewed to appeal to the masses ie Great Northern or Carlton Dry like - unoffensive and cheap to produce. They will be relying on the can art to sell it anyway.

As for the IPA vs Lager debate, as a hobby level all grain brewer, I can agree Lagers are much harder to brew for a couple of reasons: Hops do a great job of masking poor processes and procedures that are difficult to avoid in a home-brew setting without professional quality equipment. And, on top of that a lot of true Lager yeast strains produce undesirable flavours that Ale strains simply don't. Hence the need to "Lager" the beer for a period of time to allow these flavours to subside. At least, that's my understanding and experiences.

Can’t we all just get along?

Does it contain kava?

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Coffee snobs are worse than beer snobs. Mostly.

I DGAF what you drink but don’t try and be all elite about it because someone else doesn’t like what you drink

I remember talking to a bartender once about beer and saying that I’m not a huge fan of most ales but I didn’t mind Guinness and no joke he replied with “stouts are ales”.

 

[DragoDelph]

No idea, been too long since I had a bottle.

But is smooth and delicious.

Depends on what your definition of "coffee" is. Order whatever coffee you like but don't try to tell me nescafe is fine. You don't like coffee then, you like caffeine.

Ever had a really good small-scale (somewhere like Eagle Bay would be too big) craft lager?

There's plenty of people that claim the path of enlightenment is from mass produced beer to small scale to good craft to lager.

I personally view that as a little like life, you learn plenty of things along the way, grow as a person and at some point you might come down with Alzheimer's or general old age.
That last phase is the lager phase.

Do you count drip coffee as coffee?
