what are you drinking right now?

Drinking Sam Adams escape route. It's a traditional Koelsch style that's very nice.

That looks delicious.

Man, it does, doesn't it? I wish I was rich and cultured enough to be able to afford to drink Belgian beers all the time.

Homebrew, and you won't have to buy "rich and cultured" beer.

Iced coffee, I'm a lightweight.

I wouldn't even know where to start. Is it more cost effective?

It is once you start making "good" beer. There are a lot of homebrewers on this forum actually. Plenty of ways to get advice.

After you have your equipment, you're looking at about 30-50 bucks for 50 beers (5 gallons). The cost largely depends on what style and abv you are making.

I'd probably tend more towards lighter styles like lagers, Koelsch, pilsners, and blonde ales. Although I'd love to home brew a traditional Marzen style beer.

As far as ABV, I'd do 6% at minimum, but I'm sure I'd play with some higher amounts.

Lagering requires more expensive equipment. you should be good with the kolsch and blonde ales though. A lot of homebrewers make those styles. Personally, I'm not a huge fan. I like bigger beers.

I love New Belgians Fat tire, and I like a good black lager. I don't get too crazy for IPA's or stouts or anything like that.

A combination of Yuenglling Chesterfield Ale (in the bottle) and Yuenging Lager (in the can). The ale's pretty damn good for the price. The lager is very good for the price.

Yes, I agree...Yeungling is my maintenance/lawnmower beer of choice. Very good for the $$$$.

Enjoying New Belgium's Spring Blonde. Nice Belgium style Ale.

North Coast Brewing Company's Old No. 38 Stout. Yummy.

 

[flaraider]

I got a 12 pack of Sam Adams - Beers of Summer: Porch Rocker, Belgian Session, Blueberry Hill Lager, White Lantern, Summer Ale, and of course a couple Boston Lager.

I am enjoying the variety at $12.99 on sale at my Publix.

 

[navamind]

Old No. 38 Stout again, but I also have some Flying Dog Double Dog IPA in my fridge.

 

[Nosferatu]

Corona with lime...

 

[Wishbone]

Finished off my Goose Island now onto Bridgeport Ipa.

 

[wingsauce7]

NB Summer Helles. Sorry New Belgium, not too impressed with this lager....
