What about that manly Natty Ice? 😁

That purity law throws out all of the major American commercial brands.

I’m thankful every damn day, trust me.
I had in my own personal opinion an above average palette, you don’t realize how discriminating of taste you have until you loose it. A guy who has had 20/20 or better vision their whole life and then in a blink of an eye (pardon the pun) wake up one morning with way below vision ability then realize how well they saw. Sudden lost of Tastes is exactly like that.

Palate

C'mon man.

He had two shots at it.

Lagers that aren't too strong, but for my limited taste, Modelo Negra is a favorite. Dark Lagers do get my attention, containing roasted hops that give off a coffee or a slight hint of chocolate.

Wanting the best of many worlds, great flavor that's not too bitter& doesn't bloat as bad as some.

My test is not just a first taste or first glass impression, but a 6 pack. About 5 or 6 of any tend to change how ya feel about taste IMO.

Give Warsteiner dark a try.

Roasted malt by the way

You almost never see those things, Chelada’s, up here. Pal from TX turned me onto them. First time he was selling me onto trying one I had really low expectations. They’re delicious! Hard as hell to source up here though. I can’t imagine a hunting or fishing trip without them now.

Gross

When you get in the boat around 4 am, to be on your spot and dragging lead by sunrise, you’re going to be drinking by 9 am latest. Those cheladas and a bag of Snyder’s jalapeño pretzel bites make for fiiiine boat fare.

The Rhineheitsgebot is kinda retarded.

It had more to do with protecting grain for bakers and originally only had 3 ingredients listed as it predated any real knowledge of yeast. It really doesn’t factor at all.

If you want to try some great continental style beers, check out some local breweries. Many are turning out world class beers that aren’t shipped from Europe, warehoused, and trucked to hell and back with out refrigeration.

Check out winners of the World Beer Cup or the GBAF in styles you might like. Hopefully some of those are available in your local. Better yet the brewery.

I haven't yet found a US brewer that gets Kolsch just right.

Try Chuckanut if you can.

For a while I had a connection who got me cases of Kolsch flown straight from Germany on planes coming to his facility for maintenance. Climate controlled in the passenger area. I was spoiled.

And, there lies the conundrum. Not available for shipment to KY.

Hell, we couldn't get Yuengling here till 2018. And then it was a disappointment, to me any way.

I'll simplify it a bit, A decent everyday beer, lager style that might be available mostly nationwide.

Then maybe a weekend or special treat beer that can be found this side of Nashville.

Thanks.

That's what I thought I gave you.

Is KY that lame for beer?

Yeah. Hell, counties still dry to this day. It's changing, but just in the last decade.

Backward yes, & for the most part that's damn good. I'll take backward over so many of the recent modern problems.

The only thing I truly don't like are IPAs ... and some of the Asian imported "beer". I like ambers, porters, and stouts.

My favorite is Sam Adams Cream Stout. Haven't found it for sale here in over 10 years. Been calling around. Nobody in state seems to have it or can get it. WTF? I'm almost afraid now that if I found it, it couldn't live up to expectations and memories. Looking for a new favorite.
