I am a self proclaimed beer snob who hates ALL budweiser products but I gotta admit the bud platinum is pretty goodThis may be sacrilegious to say...and the beer snobs on this board will probably string me up by my thumbs...but that Bud Light Platinum is a halfway decent beverage. Doesn't hurt that its 6% alcohol by volume either.
Jesus H! That's 130 proof. My glass of Bookers bourbon sittin in front of me is 100 proof and that's considered high.

Highest ABV beer I've had was dogfish 120 which I think was 20% and it was awful
How dare you say that the dogfish head 120 minute is awful! Sacrilege! You lose your beer snob title.

Here's what I'm gonna do cuz honestly I haven't had the 120 in 5 years. I'm gonna pick up a bottle and re-evaluate. I remember I wasnt happy thenWHAT? Did I read this correctly? 120 minute is outrageously incredible.
No doubt! Although I had a random guy show up at my North Manley extravaganza last week with a twelver of keystone light. I was appalled.I also took from this thread so far that:
690 considers his many tailgate buddies "beer aficionados"
Well, our last tailgater showed up with a 30 rack of them Friday. That was after we finished our PBR. Tailgating isn't the best case for my beer aficionado-ness however.No doubt!

We did start with Syracuse Pale Ale though.

I will say that I had the 120 minute a few years ago that wasn't great (bad batch - threw most of it out). However, every one since then has been ridiculous.
Without reading anything more than the linked article, what they are doing is not technically "freeze fermenting." They are fermenting normally, and then distilling the beer through freezing. Same process we used to use to purify things in Org Chem lab. A similar process is involved in making ice wine, when you rely on the water getting locked up as ice in order to jack up the sugar content in the remaining solution.
Love green flash west coast ipa. Blue tusk has it on every so often. One of the best. Damn, california has the best breweries. Stone, lagunitas, green flash, firestone walker, Russian river, bear republic, Sierra Nevada. Mercy!120 isn't better than the 90 minute but it is far from awful. But on the positive side it is 15-20% alcohol. That is also why it probably isn't quite as good as the 90 minute.
My current favorite brewery I've just discovered is Green Flash Brewery. Now I like IPA's but they are not my current favorite style of beer mainly because of acid reflux and probably an ulcer which were likely due in most party to drinking too many beers. They have an Imperial IPA that is fantastic. You know its a good beer when the warmer it gets the better it tastes. Definitely try it if you come across it.
Platinum tastes like metal to me... Idk why. I'm weird I guess. Wife loves it tho.This may be sacrilegious to say...and the beer snobs on this board will probably string me up by my thumbs...but that Bud Light Platinum is a halfway decent beverage. Doesn't hurt that its 6% alcohol by volume either.
Best beer I ever had was La Fin de Monde. It is a Canadian beer my son and I found in Sackets Harbor this summer.Platinum tastes like metal to me... Idk why. I'm weird I guess. Wife loves it tho.
SecondedPretty sure we need to have a SyracuseFan Beer Club. Just saying.
