Well Americans don't know about beer.

In regards to Einstok, I can say as a former beer distributor guy when it comes to beer, especially imports they have two main things going against them. Time and light (also in some situations heat), bottled imports have both of these problems since bottled in a place like Iceland then the time it takes to bring it to their final destination is a lot longer than let's say Coors who has their main brewery in Colorado. Also, the time a beer like Einstok sits on the shelf in Alabama is probably longer than recommended, bottled beer as a general rule is good for 6 months stored in a dark cold place like a refrigerator or 3 months in a warm setting with more light. But store coolers are usually cold but not dark, most are really bright, and that's where light comes into play. Beer is extremely sensitive to light. Hop compounds are photosensitive and, when exposed to light, will be “light struck”. This is what causes the skunky off-flavor. Einstok and a lot of imported 6-pack bottles have packaging that comes up very high almost to the cap trying to eliminate as much light as possible, but it can never cut out all the light. As for cans they completely eliminate light exposure problems and can taste fresher for longer period of time. Thanks for coming to my Ted Beer Talk.

I think it’s safe to say your palette is not made for abbey beers like Chimay haha. Most of them are sooo good. If you’ve had one and drink a lager or Pilsner right after, they all taste like water. Still, I wouldn’t call most of these craft beers anyway. There are so many good micro breweries here in The Netherlands and Belgium that craft very good beer, but they’re just not available in the USA.

Spent my teens pickling my liver on Boddies bitter, we have much better beers in the same style but you're unlikely to find them outside the UK as they are traditional live yeast beers. Oddly Alex Lifeson (guitarist in Rush) was a fan of draught Boddingtons stuff and even bemoaned the closure of the brewery on stage in Manchester.

Boddingtons Pub Ale is one of my favorite beers

I have tried Boddingtons! I agree! I gotta try the Viking beer.

Beer is a broad definition. In Europe we generally have 2 types, Bitter and Lager. Bitter's taste depends on the yeast used at the time of fermentation. You don't get the same taste with every mouthful from different casks, where as Lager will give you the same taste regardless. When I was a young and inexperienced drinker I wanted to sample all of the beers to get a taste for one I liked. I was switch from Bitter to Lager and back and couldn't settle on a specific brand or type. What it did do was make me ill LOL. I found Bitter inconsistent, and eventually moved onto and stayed with Lager as my goto drink. Years later I was diagnosed diabetic and I found a considerable difference between Bitter and Lager after that diagnosis. I found that Bitter has a lot more sugar in it than Lager and regardless of alcoholic percentage, Bitter would smash my tolerance before I had finished my first pint, whereas with Lager I could drink 6-8 pints, which had a higher alcohol percentage than Bitter, but way less sugar within the concoction.

Monks brew beer for when they fast. There is a strong beer that has more calories and is like drinking a loaf of bread.

Good thing peroni isn't too strong with that like some IPAs. Bitter and dankness have their fans.

You should pour the whole can with the Boddies or you'll waste the gas... Pour the can in one go when you open it. It won't spit if it's not been disturbed. Same with the Guinness widget cans, or any widget can basically. You waited far far far too long from opening to pouring....Pour it so your pouring it onto the edge of the glass as if you were holding the nozzle against the edge of the glass when using a cask. Glass at 45 Degrees, can opening edge touching glass. The sooner you pour, the creamier the head and the flavour. Boddingtons is essentially what we call a bitter in the North of England. Timothy Taylors Landlord is a good option.

Tried some Polish beer that was 17% alc, was like a full meal

you really need to try some not-craft-average-local beers from all over Europe. Especially Austria and Germany. Stuff like Lübzer Pils

❤ Boddingtons

For the next beer review you should do California Breweries only ex. North Coast Brewing, Dust Bowl or Firestone Walker

Man, Reading the comments you certainly brought out the beer snobs and America-haters. I'd like to say thanks for stepping outside the comfort zone and trying something new. Regarding the Monk beers I agree, as the specific gravity goes up it's really hard to brew a drinkable enjoyable beer. Anything that says barley wine should be avoided. As you said the important thing is how a beer tastes. That, and how enjoyable the drinking experience is. For example west coast IPA's ....expensive yes, craft probably, drinkable....only if your preferred beer is a pound of hops straight out of the blender.

I think Boddingtons is brewed in Macclesfield. Yep I like boddies, that's what the locals call it. Tetley bitter is not bad either.

Chimay blue is not the cheapest beer and it is high in alcohol, but it's a delicious beer!

Skunk weed, holy shit I haven't heard that name in 16 years, you guys are in for a surprise when you catch up with Cali weed

The two primary styles of barley wine are the American, which tends to be hoppier and more bitter, with colours ranging from amber to light brown[6] and the English style, which tends to be less bitter and may have little hop flavour, with more variety in colour ranging from red-gold to opaque black.[7][8] Until the introduction of an amber-coloured barley wine under the name Gold Label by the Sheffield brewery Tennant's in 1951[9] (later brewed by Whitbread), British barley wines were always dark in colour.
