NWSPECB Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I had Elysian's Space Dust IPA at a restaurant this weekend, very crisp IPA without being overboard on hops, would definitely get again.

My point was, if you like the beer, then it's not about what you necessarily want to support. Unless your local craft brewer made something else that was similar that you enjoyed just as much for a similar price point. If you're dabbling into craft beer and growing your pallet, I think it's just as important to try all sorts of beers. Even crafts that are mass produced. Otherwise, you may not ascertain a quality difference, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, you may not ascertain a quality difference, etc.J, I got your point, however I don't necessarily agree. If you want a solid IPA, buy from the brewers that have everything on the line. There are endless options in the Seattle market, let alone the PNW. If you want to drink bud, drink bud. If you want variety and quality to continue to be a part of craft beer, supporting those who share that passion and work towards growth of our segment of the industry otherwise big beer will actively push us out. Just my view on it from the inside out. Hard to note differences as a consumer. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I get it. Im all about supporting local business too, within reason. I will pay a bit more buying lumber from a local lumber yard over home depot, but there is a breaking point in regards to the cost savings. But that can be said about any small/growing company. My point was, if you're a bud guy, it's ok to drink bud. Perhaps my point got washed up a bit. I think we agree more than we think we do If you're into exploring your palette and want to venture into the craft world, you kind of have no choice, but to buy from the smaller breweries. Though the big boys are buying up some of the craft companies, there are still thousands of independently owned craft beer companies. growing daily, as you know. You'd have to go out of your way to specifically by from the big boys in RE to craft beer nowadays. And I think every 'craft drinker' out there, including myself, enjoy the independently owned breweries way more than the big companies. It's still fine to dabble here and there. If you're at a restaurant, and there are two choices for beer... one is a shitty local craft (yes, this happens), and the other is a more palatable space dust, and you really want a beer.... I would think you choose space dust. Otherwise, If all things are relatively equal, and there's 5 magic hats, a space dust, and a lagunitas on the menu, along with a local independent brewery, I choose the independent if it doesn't suck. tldr - its ok to drink bud if that's what your into. It's great to support the small/independent breweries that are a part of your community and other peoples. It's a pet peeve of mine to automatically gravitate to harder to find stuff for the sake that it's hipstery and unique. Regardless of quality. There are some craft beers that aren't as good as the big company crafts. However for the most part, the smaller breweries offer better beers.

HDTurbo Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Amazing subjectivity when it comes to food, drink and any type of art discussed on teh web! As for me, being in upstate NY, I have my Igloo ready to transport Lawson’s Sip and Super Session#8, Singlecut 18 Watt, Brown’s #IPA, and Sloop Super Soft up to Sacandaga tomorrow to enjoy a trip down the 28 mile lake to dine at a decent restaurant with family and friends. Teh Yeti cookie will come in ‘handy’...cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickDastardly00 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I remember drinking and liking Blue Moon before Coors bought them out. It was a solid tasting Belgian White back then, now days it just tastes different, too much Orange peel or something, I don't know. Maybe it was brewed in smaller batches before the buy out, but I had a Blue Moon on Saturday and didn't really care for it much. The beer of the weekend was Sky Kraken, damn good beer. It's less hazy than some of the more recent hazy IPA's I've tried, and had some Lager notes to it as well. Good warm weather, Refreshing Beer. I hear Surf Dog is even better but it's much harder to find ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickDastardly00 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Visited Ft George brewery, twice, Vortex Ipa is a good staple beer, but the 3-Way IPA Casmere is a darn great beer. It's ridiculously good. I still have 5 of them left.

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Marbled Rye by Narrows brewing co is also pretty good, nice hazy with a slight twist, was a smidge on the bitter side even for a hazy IPA, but only in a good way really, makes it stand out from the gobs of other Hazy IPA's out there. Narrows is in Tacoma too, need to go visit that brewery sometime.
