Once you go Craft, you never go back

And that is true. I can drink a domestic pilsner/lager, but there are very few of them I really enjoy anymore. Better to drink one or two really good beers than a 12 pack of beer flavored water. And the ultimate in craft beers? Home brews!

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

I'm not in Btown, I'm closer to Evansville and still about an hour from there.

 

EDIT:  And I don't touch that p!$$ water known as Bud Light anyway.

So take a little drive! Its worth the trip to downtown B'town just for the restaurant selection. Craft beer bars are getting easier to find though. We have one here in Salem, and we're always 5-10 years behind the rest of the world.

Yep - the only time I'll drink domestic now is if I am tubing for 6 hours or something and I just want some watered down beer for the hydration on the river...Even then, there are some great craft, summer brews that do the same trick and tastes way better.

I know a couple places in Evansville that sell craft beers.  One of them stocks 3 Floyd, Bells, Founder, et al and currently advertising special pricing on Stone.  I don't know of any craft beer bars though.

Ask for a craft beer in a lot of bars and they think Sam Adams or Rolling Rock qualifies. I like them both, but I wouldn't call them craft.

Sam Adams Octoberfest is alright.  I thought their Spring seasonal was alright too.  Boston Lager, I'm not sure on the first couple drinks were good then it seemed to go downhill from there.  Not sure I've ever tried Rolling Rock

I only drink 3 types of beer. Bottles, cans or draft. Plus I think it is awesome that this thread is named after me.

Pick up a 6 pack of RR. It may not be craft, but its a decent beer. Available about anywhere now, since Bud or Miller bought it.

Most American mass produced beers are like sex in a canoe-like f**king close to water ;)

Rolling Rock is good! Tried Goose Island 412, not a fan.

412 is the wheat beer, right? I love Goose Island, but I hate wheat beer. Not sure if 412 is the one I remember though. Distributors quit carrying it here.

[JaybobHoosier 11,821]

I can't remember off the top of my head. I can check.

[quote name="JSHoosier" post="33420" timestamp="1391127366"]Yeah, I haven't really tried craft beers. Many of the liquor stores I've been too either don't have them or I'm going in for a certain beer and don't bother looking.

I want to try some though.[/quote]

It's a slippery slope when you start. $7 beers at home before you know it!

412 is the wheat beer. It's just okay in my book.

If I had any go to beers, my top two are Miller Lite and Blue Moon (without the orange).

Blue moon is top dog on my list I'm a sucker for a blue moon draft.

Yeah, I can deal with full bodied Bud, its the beer flavored Sprite they call Bud Light I stay away from. I'm probably going to drink a couple of Warsteiners I have left over.

Miller lite actually tastes like piss to me. Blue moon I really enjoy with a. Big ol steak.

I made myself like Miller, which I do, because that's what the in-laws do. I enjoy just crackin one open with the father-in-law.
