What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

DUIVELS BIER - a dark, rich flavoured strong beer with a huge history… This was actually made before Duvel... Duvel was, until 1965, a dark beer... Based on this one, actually... They changed to the blond champagne-ish beer because it sold better...

The Boon brewery bought the name back in 2002, and started making the original Devilish beer again, DUIVELS BIER... So fuck Duvel - if you want something REAL get this...  ::)

I get goosebumps with every sip… This is just incredible beer... Followed the instructions and am drinking it at 14C° as well... In love... Gonna be needing a whole lot more of these stat... 1.25 €/ bottle.

That looks really good Eli.  Will have to look into local options.

I remember when I had my first Duvels in Amsterdam, in a small joint called Mellow Maloe or something similar, 1987 I think. Got one…got second one...started to thikn smebdy pot sumthin' in me drink....took alook at the bottle...aha...ordered third one...all in about 45 mins. Can't really remember how the evening ended, oh well....

[Seul]

I tried a Duvel a couple of weeks ago after not having had one in years, and poured it in the sink after one sip…

Hmmm, that does look good.  I'll have to see if I can (hopefully!) find some around here.  Dammit, Seul, why do you have to taunt us with good beer?;)

[thomasnunnally]

Seriously, Eli's selections make me jealous.  I have know of no location where I could find such gems.

[Seul]

I already made the selection for tomorrow… So stay tuned... Or ignore thread if you can't take it anymore!..

One day, you're going to hear a knock on your door, and when you open it, I will be standing there saying, "where's your beer fridge?"

[Seul]

Oh I'll share!.. One of those and you'll be flat on your arse anyway…

Now that would be fun!!  I have a copy set aside for me when it arrives stateside!

These two were from my local booze shop (b-day prezzies). coming in at a cheeky 10.5%, I like to call them "early night" beers….   very tasty, 'specially with a bit o' cheese….

Seul, I've been sippin' some of that Westmalle too(both the dubbel & tripel, mmmmmm) along with some Vedett extra blond - v.nice and crisp. They have a fantastic range of world beers but alas, non of that triple karma-wotsit

[thomasnunnally]

I had an imperial stout of that norwegian beer about a month ago.  It was damn good.

[Chris]

Funny you should mention that one;I had a porter from that brewery a while back.  Not bad, as I recall.

Not terribly strong, just 7%abv.

Anybody ever have Clutch's Dark Sour Ale by New Belgium Brewing?

[Seul]

Goes well with red meat!.. Excellent!.. 

[Chris]

Same brewery that makes Fat Tire, right?  Haven't had it, but I'll keep an eye out.  I'm starting to get into sours.
