MattPie Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Blue moon is a belgian witbier brewed by Coors, and thus it's not a very stellar example of the style at all. Witbiers use wheat malt in the mash which along with yeast in suspension accounts for it's cloudy appearance. There are much better examples of the style to try such as Hoegaarden, Allagash White and Great Lakes Holy Moses. If you do drink one of these beers I wouldn't call you a hipster, but if you drink one with a slice of lemon or orange then you are most certainly a douche. :nana: But they're better with a little citrus! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 OOPS :bag: I love the slice of orange :doh: Witbier is traditionally brewed with coriander and orange peel so there isn't really need to add more citrus character. I suppose it wouldn't hurt in a blue moon since it's such a crappy beer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Blue Moon is overrated hipster beer. Not much more to expunge on that. I'm not sure you understand what hipsters are. Pabst Blue Ribbon? Sure, that's a hipster beer. Because they're obsessed with it. I can't say I've ever seen a Blue Moon cult following. Ever try one without the orange? If you cant drink a beer without putting fruit it, you should be drinking a Zima or Sangria. I can drink a 12 pack in a night without so much as cringing. I'm not saying I'm a Blue Moon fan boy, but there's really nothing wrong with it as a macro brew. It's not a good example of the Belgian White style, but it's not swill by any stretch. Is hating Blue Moon just the cool thing to do now? It's not like it's Golden Anniversary or Keystone Ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's Golden Anniversary or Keystone Ice. While I certainly am not hip I understand a cetain backlash against Blue Moon and think its anti hipster to hate on the hipster vibe from scarf wearing Blue Moon club! That would make a lot more sense. A lot of people drink Blue Moon. That makes it not cool. But PBR? There's a beer they can ruin with their hipster powers. Keystone Ice and PBR talk about value! Unless you include time lost the next day, well, you know. Its not that bad without the orange... i still dont understand the hate i would rather drink this than bud light.

Weave Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 At the end of the day, beer, I'm drinking it :beer: Now we're getting somewhere. There are beers that I just won't drink. Period. Because I think they taste bad. But they are few. Blue Moon isn't one of them. I don't think I've ever ordered one in a bar, and I don't buy them for home, but if I were offered one I'd drink it without complaint or reaction. No different or better/worse than Blue or Bud in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like my isse with hipsters and flannel/work clothing. If you're wearing it, why are your hands so clean? What do you mean you've never swung an axe before? Ugh, hipsters.

A friend of mine enjoys it and was pretty excited when he noticed it when we went to the pre-season opener against the 'canes. its not bad, a close comparison would be Riccards White which is available in Canada if you can't get it in the US. If you get it at a bar in a pint, you get an orange slice with it. Me personally, I would just rather drink Guiness (Tap or Cans) if I drink. As for the food, the concession area in the 100's looked different with "international" theme to the different stands (although there may have been little changes, I don't think I had ever been in that area before). When I went to the Foo Fighters show I was in the 200 level and bought some food which was actually pretty decent, similar in quality and price as I would get at a chain type eatery/bar (I had the chicken fingers and fries with the Anchor Bar wing sauce which we call Buffalo Chicken Fingers around here for under $10) Normallly I try not to buy food at games and concerts but the odd time I will. I usually find the typical arena/stadium food to be grossly overpriced for a regular hotdog or hamburger they try to pass off as JUMBO. Typically I just stick with Nachos (On an unrelated note, arenas, fast food joints and sometimes at home are the only places where I accept a cheese Sauce for my nachos. If I am going to a restaurant or bar and order them, which I like to do, it better be melted actual cheese. I was pissed one time when I went to a bar/restaurant and they gave me cheese sauce soaked nachos. I had the same thing this spring happen in Clevland when I went out to eat at a bar/restaurant and ordered fries that the I recall the menu saying had different types of melted cheese on it and was served cheese sauce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
