It used to taste a lot better, but these days it seems it's all about how hopsy you can brew it, and that just makes it taste terrible :/. At least there's some beers that try to make them not taste like cat piss smells like, but they're few and far between, in my experience.
Personally I like Guinness and other stouts. But there are a bunch of European beers that are quite good, if you like beer, and there are local specialities all over.

Ah, to be fair, I'm referring mostly to North American beers; I don't have much if any experience with European beers, aside from the aforementioned radlers, and some specialty Guinness can that was like black liquorice or blackberry or something like that that was horribly bitter and just all around unpleasant to drink.

I'm on Fenrir's side, beer is bitter. And no, it's not mature taste or anything, I just don't like bitter drinks.

Yeah, that much smoke means too much fuel, and it's not combusting fully. A good BBQ has little smoke because it's burning cleanly.

Beer is one of those things that I don't think I'll ever get why people drink today. It used to taste a lot better, but these days it seems it's all about how hopsy you can brew it, and that just makes it taste terrible :/. At least there's some beers that try to make them not taste like cat piss smells like, but they're few and far between, in my experience. If anyone's curious (and legally can have a beer), try a radler, and see if it suits your tastebuds; I'm partial to Schöfferhofer's Hefeweizen selection (if I have to drink a beer) since it's already a low bitterness 'weissbier', and the sugar from the fruit juice mixed in can make the bitterness disappear entirely (or incorporate it into its own flavour in the case of the grapefruit variety).

Where I am from we still have the same old classic beers that has been in production for at least 80 years(malt classic). And if we want something "new" to Spice it up we import from the mainland continent, mostly czech pilsner for me :aquadrink:. Is this the luxury of being a europoor?


A nice "japanese" beer i would really like to drink again is Orion from Okinawa. Nice stuff according to my nostalgia.

Anyways. MC is 100% correct. BBQ + a cold one = life.

Unless you're trying to low and slow smoke the food to get the smoke flavor into it.
No, you want it burning cleanly, period; doing otherwise just introduces carcinogens as a result of improper combustion into the food. If you want smoke flavour, use a fancy filtration process like a zeolite filter, borrowed from the automotive industry's practices, produces safer smoke that tastes better, too; otherwise, use liquid smoke. The carcinogenic compounds are primarily fat-soluble, not water-soluble, while the flavonoids are the reverse, so the process of making liquid smoke discards most of the bad and keeps the good, so results in most of the flavour of smoking food retained without the irreversible cellular damage aspect. If you absolutely must smoke food naturally, use a smaller fire in a larger container so the wood can be properly oxygenated and burn cleanly without too high of a temperature being passed on to your food; those grills that contain a small secondary box for smoke chips/pellets/shavings & dust or whatnot are still better than running a shitty dirty burn the whole way through, in such non-recommended situations.
