What's your favorite Beer?

[Sugar Mountain]

So, as I said above, my plan for the weekend was to pick up some imported delights from the US and Belgium. Got me some Goose Island IPA and Sierra Nevada and, in tribute to Seul, some Tripel Karmeliet and Chimay blue.

The Belgian beers are waiting to be had later in the week with mussels and frites (what else?) but the American beers were quaffed on Saturday night. Gotta say, the Goose Island was one of the best beers I've tried in ages. Those of you in Chicago have got a great brewery on your doorstep!

You need some fine Chablis to go with those moules… A Karmeliet really wouldn't work with it...  :-\

[Sugar Mountain]

I'll make it work! 

What would you recommend with the TK though?

[Seul]

I never have anything with it  :-\

[Sugar Mountain]

In that case, I shall save it for 'dessert'. 

[Seul]

I use it as an appetizer/ apériritve… It will work for dessert though, oh yes it will!..

It has been decided that WESTMALLE TRIPEL is officially the most kickarse beer in the world… Why?.. Oh here's why:

• took my mate and his wife to a restaurant on Sunday, but had the apéritif at my place... St. Feuillien extra blond grand cru for my mate, Bush blond tripel for me... We were still thirsty after these so I decided to split a Westmalle tripel... I love Bush blonde but the Westmalle just blew me away... It's obviously not the first time I tried it, but it was just so much better in every way... The obvious quality and strength of the taste... The intense taste and character... Holy cow was it good...

• sober brand... They make the tripel and the double, and big bottles of the tripel, and that's it... No ads, no fancy additions to the line-up, just those two beers...

• most beautiful bottle and label (ok this is a stretch but I love the simplicity of it):

I would really suggest you non-Belgians to get some Westmalle tripel and to DRINK THE BASTARD!.. Shouldn't be hard to come by, one of the biggest/ best sold tripel beers in Belgium!..

Going out to grab a bottle this weekend at Seul's request if I can find it…

[Seul]

And I will continue my quest to discover more good beer!..

[Finn666]

i def. need to find a store that sells various brands of beer…i need to taste that!

[Seul]

LA TRAPPE 'Quadrupel'… My choice for tonight... Check where it's made!.. The only abbey beer from The Netherlands!..

To early for me to be in this thread. I'll check back later.

Sorry, all I got out of that post was that Seul loves blonde Bush…

Yeah, I'm juvenile like that.

@Seul:

What can I say?.. I love a little Bush…

I'm in love with this brewery Pity most of the beers only have a relatively short run. And you get charged £7.00 for postage
