Based upon the turn out for The Session #49 it would appear regular beers still matter. So let’s get right to the links. <\/p>\nBased upon the turn out for The Session #49 it would appear regular beers still matter. So let’s get right to the links. <\/p>\n

\nFive Hundred And One Beers<\/a>. Or as the first comment notes, “Geekalicious.”<\/p>\n
\n“Beer has long been a regulator in civilization and for that, we are grateful.” From Ramblings of a Beer Runner.<\/a> <\/p>\n
\nThe Reluctant Scooper.<\/a> Also the strongest statement about the relationship between beer, place and circumstance.<\/p>\n
\nFrom KC Beer Blog,<\/a> because this sentence must tell us something about regular beers, “I’ll take American Pastoral over Moby Dick any day of the week.”<\/p>\n
\nAlan McLeod makes a case<\/a> for sweet, “a quality that gets little respect these days.” And he knows how to close the deal. “There’s better and there’s worse but at the end of the day . . .”<\/p>\n
\nWhen Max signs off<\/a> “Na Zdav\u00ed!” you just know<\/em> he’s off to drink a beer you wish you could. <\/p>\n
\nFrom Kaedrin Beer Blog.<\/a><\/p>\n
\nJeff Alworth asks,<\/a> “Will pale lagers always be ‘regular,’ or will our consciousnesses expand such that some future generation has a broader definition?”<\/p>\n
\nOr why Mark Dredge promises<\/a> to keep a regular beer beside the milk and ketchup in his fridge.<\/p>\n
\nFlagon of Ale<\/a> points out that light-lager drinkers don’t get to define regular beer. <\/p>\n
\nFlinchbot<\/a> on ordering beer in Germany: “There is no negotiating or asking what beers they have and if they have a beer similar to your favorite beer. It\u2019s pretty simple. They only have 3 beers, end of discussion.”<\/p>\n
\nMario Rubio’s regular beer<\/a> is the one he hasn’t tried.<\/p>\n
\nJoe Stange reports<\/a> of the passing of “Rupprecht Loeffler, venerable brewmaster of the Cervejaria Canoinhense, said to be Brazil’s oldest craft brewery. He was 93.” Is Canoinhense a regular beer, a relic, a beer that evolved over time?<\/p>\n
\nHow Jay Brooks gets there<\/a> is as important as the conclusion. Flaship beers and “your dad’s beer” included.<\/p>\n
\nAnd Sean at Beer Search Party<\/a> provides his own example, Mission Street Brown Ale<\/em> (brewed by Firestone Walker).<\/p>\n
\nRich at Beer, Baseball, and Other Things Writes<\/a> Moby D<\/em> ” isn’t my first regular beer and it won’t be my last.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd, yes, Nevitt at Beering in Mind<\/a> makes me want to try Yona Yona Ale<\/em> on cask.<\/p>\n
\nIn Pennsylvania it’s not a “style” but one specific beer. Jay Zeis raises his glass<\/a> to Yuengling.<\/p>\n
\nIt seems that during this exercise Tale of the Ale may have found<\/a> a new favorite.<\/p>\n
\nDave Phillips<\/a> gives us Goose Island Honkers Ale<\/em>, then Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, then the two together.<\/p>\n
\nThomas Vincent isn’t one<\/a> to order the same beer twice in a row, but Big Boss’ Blanco Diablo<\/em> became his “go to” beer without him noticing.<\/p>\n
\nTroy at myBrewing<\/a> figures, “Regular beer is better than craft beer when it’s homebrew.”<\/p>\n
\nDavid at Musings Over a Pint<\/a> picks a regular beer at a regular watering hole – Blue & Gray Falmouth American Pale Ale<\/em>. <\/p>\n
\nAt Drinking Class, Jim Pavlik writes,<\/a> “. . . homebrew is again what it used to be, regular beer, a beer that regular people drink fairly regularly.” <\/p>\n
\nWhen you’ve already written the regular pub beers in your neighborhood what’s left? The Beer Nut<\/a> turns to homebrew. But he promises not to make brewing a regular feature. “It’d be like a cooking blog from the guy who just figured out the manual of his deep fat fryer.”<\/p>\n
\nIn Edinburgh regular means Deuchars IPA<\/em>, once the Champion Beer of Britain. Richard at the Beer Cast<\/a> exlains why it is one that divides opinions.<\/p>\n
\nBob at beer.bobarnott.com<\/a> explains why a regular beer – in his case perhaps Marble Dobber<\/em> or HardKnott Infra Red<\/em> – might be the occasional beer. <\/p>\n
\nDon’t ask Ray at the Barley Blog<\/a> to pick a regular beer? He doesn’t even have a regular style. <\/p>\n
\n“. . . each time I go back I remember why they are regular beers.” – Gregg Irwin at A Beer on the Downs.<\/a> <\/p>\n
\nTom at what we\u2019re drinking<\/a> provides a list the illustrates how anybody’s personal regular beer can shift over time. <\/p>\n
\nAt Bottle Chasers<\/a> that beer is Guinness.<\/p>\n
\nSeth From My Mellin<\/a> singles out Victory\u2019s Headwaters Pale Ale<\/em> and Blue Point Toasted Lager.<\/em> <\/p>\n
\nJohn Hambrock at BeerTaster.ca<\/a> provides a description, but is keeping the name to himself.<\/p>\n
\nA regular beer for one occassion might not be the regular beer for another. Bruce Ticknor, also from BeerTaster.ca<\/a>, explains.<\/p>\n
\nTwo non-bloggers had a bit to say so I published their posts here, from Jeffrey McElfresh<\/a> and Bill Farr<\/a>. Bill’s candid contents about the effects of alcohol sparked comments beyond this blog. And finally — yes, was the last to post — there was our family visit to Urban Chestnut Brewing<\/a> in St. Louis.<\/p>\n
\nGoes to Jon Abernathy<\/a> at the Beer Site, who has probably made as many Sessions as anybody. “The reality is, it\u2019s respecting the beer that\u2019s offered to me. For instance, when we go to my parents\u2019 house, nine times out of ten there is canned macro lager in the fridge: not because my Dad doesn\u2019t like craft beer, but largely because the American lager is what he grew up with and often because it may be an affordability issue. I respect that, and I\u2019m happy to drink the beer that\u2019s offered. It\u2019s the Regular Beer I unreservedly drink when I\u2019m at my parents\u2019.”<\/p>\n
