Figured this would entertain at least one person here, it's definitely entertained my parents.

Backstory: I don't really drink alcohol of any kind, not a fan of the taste. I expressed my mild frustration at lack of drink variety (i.e., water and tea) to my parents, and they suggested I try a couple different beers to see if there are any I liked.

I then escalated things as I normally do, which has resulted in a spreadsheet built over the course of several months. So if anyone here is interested in the in-depth beer opinions of someone who doesn't like beer, this post is for you! I mostly just went to a local liquor store that let me build my own six pack and randomly grabbed stuff that looked interesting.

For reference, filtered tap water is probably a 70/100 for me.

I added the beer advocate rating just to see how my scores compared to beer nerds for fun. The subcategory column is sourced from BA, if anything is wrong there, blame them and not me. The main category is me though, if I screwed something up in that column I will take the blame. I don't really understand the differences between types of beer, other than stouts/porters being generally decent.

I added the Alc/Vol column early on to see if there was any correlation to my scores, but in the end there wasn't. It's kind of unnecessary at this point, but I left it in for the hell of it.

Lastly, I say I don't like beer, but honestly the top 3 or 4 I would call "good." Not sure if I'd ever buy a 4/6 pack of them, but I enjoyed the singles. With that in mind, if someone has a recommendation for me, feel free to send it. Maybe I'll expand my spreadsheet in the future, lmao

IMO: these folks are best in Massachusetts.

Yes, better than Treehouse or Trillium.

Their flavor profiles are distinctive and tasty. They do a great job with NEIPA, Lager, Pilsner, and Sours(Harvester Scythe) is awesome. Weakness is the stouts.

If you're around New England, lots of places carry their flag ship called: "Blue Comet". Cheers! 🍻

Full disclosure... I am NOT affiliated or financially connected in any way. Just a lover of great brews.

Long Live Beerworks is my favorite in Rhode Island (Providence). Little over a year ago they opened a 2nd spot in Roxbury (Boston). They have great Jazz every Thursday night. ❤️ Long Live Roxbury!

Wow, what a project - and an opportunity to get a unique tick on Untappd or Beer Advocate (BA) though I'm not sure the beer style is listed. :) More importantly, I would love to have tried beer that our ancestors drank.

They took this project to be authentic as possible - down to utensils, #barrels, equipment, and open fire to #brew

https://foodcult.eu/exhibition/brewing-historical-beer/

In September 2021, after several years of preparation, the FoodCult team recreated a beer last brewed in the sixteenth century. In Ireland and across early modern Europe, beer was integral to social life and a vital source of nutrition. But up to now we have had little sense of what that beer was like, how strong it really was, and how much energy it provided. By reconstructing the recipes, equipment, and techniques used at Dublin Castle four hundred years ago, FoodCult set out to answer these important questions.

This virtual exhibition will lead you through the project, from the rationale to the reconstruction to the results. It is organized in five chapters, which you can follow sequentially or by clicking on the individual links below.

Mock "Mai Tai" didn't really hit off for me. The barrel age stout was yummy, other was too nut forward for me. Both IPAs had a nice flavor, smooth drop back without any hop burn.
