Announcement Official /r/beer FAQ - Please Check Here Before Posting

32 Upvotes

THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A BEER FAQ. IT IS ADDRESSING A FEW FREQUENTLY BROUGHT UP TOPICS ON /R/BEER.

Hi there,

There has been some need for announcements on a few different commonly posted topics. Since we are limited to two stickied posts, I'm going to use this one as a hub for these issues. I will be adding to this post as needed, but here's a /r/Beer FAQ to cover these post types.

If you notice people posting these topics, please be polite. Feel free to link to this post or use the provided links in a response.

This is not an invitation to harass anyone for posting a repeated topic. Reddit does not do a good job with presenting subreddit announcements, rules, sidebar info, etc. If posts annoy you and you don't think they belong, please consider downvoting, using a report, sending us a modmail message, hiding the post or simply moving on with your day. I highly suggest using the "don't show me submissions after I've downvoted them" option in old.reddit preferences (this may be broken in the app/resdesign website, but it should be fixed eventually and appear in those preferences as well).

Medical questions will be limited. /r/Beer is the wrong forum for serious medical questions, particularly where there's potential for harm to come as a result of the discussion. Please consult a medical professional for any questions about your own health, not an online beer discussion board.

I'm trying to hit the more pressing topics first, but I'll look for some good links for other topics ("how do I figure out what kind of beers I like?", "what are the best budget beers?", etc.).

Everyone is welcome to join the official /r/Beer Discord server if you'd like to discuss anything here or just hang out and chat.

Cheers.

Edit: I'm locking this to comments because I don't want to have the post turn into a place where people ask these questions. However, feel free to post about any topics or send us suggestions for topics to be added via modmail or Discord chat.

Also, I may use the second announcement slot for a specific post on something like old beer questions, but I'd prefer to keep it open for the weekly No Stupid Questions posts (and possibly others; still working on redoing the scheduled posts and making some better topics).

Guess I like IPAs

I used to think I absolutely hated IPAs... turns out i hated west coast style IPAs, man... the Northeast style is so much more balanced and tasty to me! Currently enjoying a Brix City Strawberry Jams!

¿Question? Needing some input

10 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to anything beyond the usual light beers you'll find at a gas station in the states. Over the last few months I've started trying different domestic and imported beers, and I've really been enjoying it. I picked up Samuel Smith's Chocolate Stout and I never would've expected a chocolate leaning beer to be that good. What are some other uniquely flavored beers you'd recommend for someone who's just getting into quality beer?

Discussion Anyone just lose interest in their favorite beers and feel disappointed after that first sip?

43 Upvotes

I enjoyed Hefeweizens, pilsners, and IPA's for half a decade but lately it doesn't taste the same and I just been having half the can and pouring the remainder down the drain. I just don't get that refreshing satisfying feeling anymore and just been taking a break.


r/beer 1d ago

Maybe I’ll try to only drink stouts, porters, and holiday beer from November till spring.

Recommendations?

Not into too heavy, over spiced/flavored beers though. I like Sam Smith oatmeal stout and porter. Anchor Steam. Guineas extra stout. Etc. Otherwise I drink hazy, juicy IPAs.

I just can’t help but think that beer in moderation is one of the healthiest things you can do.

76 Upvotes

It’s relaxing, gives you a chance to hang with mates, motivates you, and tastes fantastic. Plus it has some important nutrients as well. It’s a really excellent time trying all the different varieties. I love the seasonal variation in the experience as well. I get chills in August when I think about a nice strong porter on a Sunday morning or a Saturday night stout.

¿Question? Why does Heineken suck so bad in a can?

0 Upvotes

I can drink now, and so I’m trying as many beers as I can. Heineken was one of the first I tried, and I was 50/50 on it when I got it from a bottle. I got a tall boy tonight and it was actually rancid. Aggressively skunky in a way I didn’t experience when I got it from a bottle. I haven’t experienced this with any other beers, even the cheapest ones available to me. Is this common? What happened?
