What are the expectations for Tyson Jost?

Any beer can be tolerated with a funnel.

I just discovered Sam Adams ‘76 and I find it extremely satisfying, refreshing but not tasteless.

'76 is definitely interesting as it tastes like a hybrid of a lager and IPA. I also enjoy it. There really is nothing else like it on the market that I've tasted.

Spoken like my 23 year old self.

I'm all for resurrecting the booze talk! Nobody else wants to hear my homebrew adventures, soon, none of you will either!

I'm all in for it.

Ironically I lived in Arvada and later Golden for the first 29 years of my life but never once took the Coors tour. I'm always parking (somewhat illegally) in the tour shuttle parking lot whenever I visit my old man in Golden because my favorite burger joint is right across the street from it.

I'm sorry if I'm derailing this thread a tad (but hey, it's the Jost thread, big whoop) but I don't drink much local CO brews these days. The local craft brewing scene kinda exploded here in NE the last 6-7 years so there's always new stuff to try. The one annoying thing about craft brews is that every single one of them is so obsessed with 15 different types of IPA, and I don't care for those. Gimme a Saison or a sour any day over that stuff. Whenever I'm in town I try and sample the local stuff however.

Bob's! I just ate there on Friday. I grew up in Golden and was back for the holiday.

We could just hijack this thread for good, I'm sure Jost wouldn't mind.

Yeah, most crafts are very hit and miss for me as I stated, they are all trying to find their own niche and too often the crafts that I can find on tap in my region are trying to do it with an every increasing alcohol content that because so sickly sweet that I can't drink it. Examples are Matanuska Brewing Company's Magnatude 9.2 (9.2% ABV) taking over their shelf space as well as their spaces on growler bars. Denali Brewing's Abaddon (9.7% ABV) doing the same and becoming their major presence in Fairbanks.

Hell, even Sam Adams is in danger of actually losing their craft beer status...a designation they once defined and made a thing.

A Twist Ending
​

I miss having so many great craft beers available available in the 4.5% - 7% ABV range my area. Now it seems like everything is borderline wine in alcohol content..and the huge tradeoff is that this **** doesn't taste like beer anymore. I think the last local craft beer I enjoy is HooDoo Brewing Co. (located in Fairbanks) that makes a German Kölsh that comes in at 5.1%. This thing is wonderful, but it's the only local craft I can stomach anymore.

I agree. If I want wine I buy wine. If I want beer it must be refreshing not a meal into itself that I need to chew.

Coors has some of the best experimental brewing that you'd ever have and from some of the best brewers in the world... they just don't release it (sure ABInBev is the same I just don't know anybody that has worked there).

At least Jost can get a (small) buzz from that fridge of beer.

Hell, even Miller did a smaller craft beer in their Red Dog beer. I loved that in the mid 90s. I've never seen it on sale in Alaska, but I have heard that it is starting to reappear in the lower 48 priced somewhere between Miller High Life and Milwaukee's Best. *LMAO*

Probably just shows how ignorant my taste was in my early-mid 20s.

I expect as much out of Jost as I expect out of a Bud Light...

I'm not sure he'd be more aware than he is when he's a forward who is supposed to be covering for a pinching d-man.

Wine must stay out of my house... my wife wine drunk is not a pretty sight.

At least you can get drunk of of Bud Light....with Jost, the most you can do is beat your brains into submission by hitting your head against a door jam repeatedly by watching him play.

That’s a major inconvenience!

Just lock her up in the bathroom with a bubbly bath, candle lights, and a cheap bottle of wine. Then go about your business of having a great steak dinner with a top bottle and a good Avs game in the quiet comfort of your living room.

If someone could make something like a "Tyson Jost Slow Brew IPA" in his honor then it would still be kinda/sorta on-topic.

Self hatred for thinking it could end up positively?

Both are the choice of Denver-based puck bunnies to quench their thirst.

Pretty much yeah!

Weird... I pictured puck bunnies to be more White Claw fanatics.

“It’s slow brewed but it’s not strong. Will leave a real bitter after taste and a feeling you should have picked McAvoy Brown Ale instead.”

When talking AB...(not the poster, but Anheuser-Busch) the correct answer is to always beware of the penguin.



The commercials for this beer was so much better than the beer itself.

Bad enough to make you wanna get drunk?

Not sure if the Denver-based ones do that--East Coast? Sure.

Oh GOD...the Ice beer craze. That was just a clever marketing ploy to get rid of watered-down stock. Of course that, and Keystone were the beers I used to get in my teenage years. Beggars can't be choosers.

Oh god no...Bud Ice was AB's exclusive ice-brewing process that takes the beer to a temperature below freezing, which leads to the formation of ice crystals in the finishing process that gives it a rich, smooth taste.

Or like you said, freezing watered down stock and slapping a different label on it.

This thread's nowhere near as depressing as it used to be!
