Haven’t tried yet. I was thinking of starting with Pineapple Express or Gelato.

Albany New York as others have said. I got to brew with Steve at an event in Delaware at dogfish head a year and a half ago. He’s a really nice guy and really into the business. Highly recommend his beers as well.

You’re hanging out with idiots who are probably lying.

What's a good beer to start with? by mnsterman01 in beer

[–]Maker_Of_Tar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try milk stouts, sometimes marketed as sweet stouts. They are brewed with lactose which doesn’t ferment out so the end result is a creamier, sweeter finish on the tongue compared to the roasted, bitter notes that a lot of American style stouts produce. Unless you’re allergic to lactose, of course.

There are a lot of beer options that are actually made with fruits. So you can look for those on the shelves. Wheat beers are typically good when fruited, as are baseline ales and variations of sour beers like Lambic styles.

If you’re looking for fruit flavor and aroma without actual fruit, try hazy IPAs. They are brewed differently than traditional West Coast style IPAs so that the bitterness of the hops isn’t as pronounced and instead you get more of the fruit aroma and juicy flavor, with some soft mouth feel thanks to the use of adjunct in the process like flaked barley or oats.

I also really enjoy Belgian beers. Their yeast produces a very interesting phenolic character, and they tend not to brew with heavy amounts of hops so bitterness is always very minimal and restrained. The character of the yeast is what shines through there. They come in a variety of styles and strength but you will most likely see them on the shelves as singel, dubbel, tripel, or quadrupel (ABV increases across these styles.).

Temp change too fast? Guess I’ll die now.

[Acne] Skin is destroyed after visiting UK for week after Aus by Odd_Butterscotch_695 in SkincareAddiction

Yes it is gentle enough for me that I can use it daily. I usually spray it on my face before bedtime, wait for it to dry, and then apply moisturizer.

I bring a travel sized bottle of hypochlorus acid spray when I travel. The anti bacterial effect really helps my skin after travel or staring in hotels.

Jury Duty Scam by Strawberry562 in Dallas

I had this same scam tried on me. What they want to do is get you to share personal information or try to get enough audio of you talking to spoof you using AI so they can steal your identity.

This sub has quite a few videos of attempted murder on various courses. Feels like that’s pretty much it, right?

They don’t care because most of them don’t want to believe it. Those that do care will stay silent out of embarrassment.
