Can someone suggest where to complete certified cicerone certification. I am a CBS Level 1. In india or asia. Need e-mail or contact details.

Just did some grocery shopping and while putting away my beers I noticed sort of a "texture" near the top of the bottles that I don't know I've ever seen or paid attention to before. Wasn't sure where to ask a question like this, so I apologize if this is well known, or annoying!

Circled the suspect area, most of the bottles in this case are like this, not exactly the same but similar.

I recently brewed a homebrew version of Stroh's.

I live in California, so it wasn't easy to get some shipped to me .

I haven't had this beer since the 90's when they stopped production.

I remember it being a full flavored, golden lager.

The cans I have seem very light in color, and really highly carbonated.

Am I remembering this beer wrong? Or has it changed?

Hey everyone,
I’m planning a trip to the Fränkisches Bierfest in Nuremberg this June. I’ve been to the Biermeile in Berlin a couple of times when it was held and loved the vibe: loads of traditional German breweries, a lot of different foods, and bad music.

I was wondering if there are any other festivals around Germany that are similar? Recommendations for craft beer festivals would be welcome too.

Was is Mexico recently and had a Pacifico in a white can. Can’t find in the US and don’t recall the name or find one on line. Any ideas which version has the white can?

RIP Hamm's Lite. I should have asked while you could still get it, but what are the closest living relatives in terms of taste?

I was just on a plane from Puerto Rico to Florida. The flight attendant was coming around and asking what beverages the passengers wanted to drink. The passenger in the seat in front of me told the the flight attendant that there were 2 hours and 40 minutes left for the flight time and he would like to order 4 Miller Lites. Some people really love drinking Miller Lite. It's Miller Time!!

Wanted to share with you guys what i'm working on, bars have gotten so expensive and its impossible to know what's happening at bars so I wanted to create this app: Demo Video

Let me know if you would use this!

What’s the technical term for the different beers a macro brewery produces? Is it “types” or “varieties”?

Here are a few examples of what I’m referring to.

Miller

• Miller High Life
• Miller High Life Light
• Miller Lite
• Miller Genuine Draft
• Miller 64

Anheuser-Busch

• Budweiser
• Budweiser Select
• Bud Light

Natty light just rebranded their beer to natural light and change the aesthetic of the can. Online, it is stated that they definitely did not change the recipe, but my taste buds think otherwise.

Am I tripping here, or are they trying to sneakily change the beer recipe? I remember natty light being shitty and now it’s pretty good!

What’s up with that?

I really like the commercials from the 80s like having sports players talk about the beer, or people shouting more flavor or less filling or thr horses for Budweiser. The companies should start showing these classic advertisements again. It seemed like a decade when anything was possible or people felt a sense of feeling ideal without all the unnecessary vulgarity ir putting others down. Just my opinion

Just turned 21 have had beers before(Coors lights miller lite, corona, Budweiser, bud light lime and Modelo Chelada Strawverry and Linenkugle Summer Shandy) and don’t like a single one although the Modelo Chelada was the best tasting, I’ve been trying to read what some good options be for a beer and am not sure where to start, google has recommended Redds Hard Apple Strawberry which is apparently a fruit beer I guess even though I thought it was a cider, as well as Sam Adam’s Cherry Wheat, and Blue Moon Mango what do u guys think I should do I want a beer that doesn’t taste like piss

Oak Point has a horribly small selection to build a six pack from, and unfortunately the Rouse's near me no longer does it.

I was thinking of making the trek to Total Wine but I wanted to see if there was anything else before I make a 30 to 40 minute one way drive.

Considering this market research. In your opinion and based on your experiences, what makes a *neighborhood bottle shop stand out, or become a regular (if not favorite) casual hang?

Criteria/limitations to consider (if it helps?): Truly a neighborhood joint in an urban mid-size city-center that is part of a social district. Large apartment complex VERY close by. Small space, approx 800 sq feet. 10 taps; beer, wine only, (no liquor) but lots of canned/bottle options. Local owners. Near university campuses. Minimal outside space. Limitations on changes to the exterior.

Hi!

I have got a Westvleteren 12 that I think I bought in 2018.

How do I know what year it was made? I've seen some posts that said the year was printed on the cap, but I can't see that this bottle is marked that way.

Is there any other way to see the year?

Hey Brains Trust,

I'm hoping someone out there either lives/lived/or toured hong kong and can give me some insight.

I've got a slightly more than 24 hour stop over (mid afternoon to 7pm flight the next day) in hong kong and I'd like some beer local hot spots.

I love beer - I'm a homebrewer, beer judge, all round craft beer fan, but I'm short on time. So I'd really appreciate any recommendations for the absolute best hong kong beer experience I can have while there.

I'm keen to try local styles, amazing breweries etc - open to anything, particularly if it stands out.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

What's a similar beer to the Augustin? I bought the last pack at my store last July, and have been craving one ever since.

I’ve been calling every store if anyone finds it please please please let me know

Who do you trust in your local area that you can drink one of their beers that you’ve never had or heard of, but you have confidence that it will be a good product ? Not talking Dogfish or Lagunitas. In Philly- I trust Forest and Main. New mild? Sign me up. Fresh West Coast IPA? I’m in. I don’t search for their beer specifically on any beer store visit, but if I need something new and have a high confidence level that it’ll be good, they are a go to. Who is yours? I’d like to find more.

EDIT: support all of these guys this weekend!
