What's your favorite Beer?

[Jestre]

Seul: it was about $18-20usd, which i felt was more than reasonable. I love my local beer mart… Family owned for three generations, good prices, good selection, nicest guys around.

Yea, I have kept my eye out for a St. Bernardus but no luck as of yet.  Been wanting one of the glasses.  Congrats Jestre.  Lots of nice hidden gem beer stores in PA.

Expensive, but buying it from Belgium and shipping it to you would be much, much more expensive…

[thomasnunnally]

Thanks as always Eli.  I will look into it!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Tomorrow morning and Monday morning I'll be going to the beer stores with my dad… Picking out our festive beers (for December 24 and 31), as we'll be spending those days together...

So if you have a jealous nature, don't visit this thread til January 2k13... Happy new year!..

Johnny: cheers mate!..

Guess who this is for baby 

Got the very last bottle of La Trappe Quadrupel oak aged.

I thought you guys drank your beer warm?

[Seul]

That'd be the Brits. Either warm or cold, I'd rather drink piss out of a boot than their stuff btw…

[hectic]

shame on you Seul, you're a discerning beer drinker, there are so many such good quality ales.

[hectic]

This is as good quality as any continental variant: http://www.thekernelbrewery.com/

I was just taking the piss lads… Something you always do at the pub... 

[injunjack]

And to be honest…my fav beers usually come other parts of europe than Belgium...

Ales, Pils's, Bitters and Stouts...there are even very good Lagers. Not to mention variety of good german biers...mmmm

Yeah cool man, its just that there has been such an awesome development of insanely good IPAs in the past few years that I am quite emotional about it. If you can get a Kernel it will blow your mind.

I love a good Belgian beer but they're not the best for a proper session in my opinion. Give me an English 4.3% ale and we'll get steadily merrier over 5-6 pints. Love that feeling.

[Giles]

I had a session on IPA last night - not firing on all 4 at the moment….../

[Sugar Mountain]

IPAs can be some of the worst for feeling super groggy the day after. Never sits quite right in me - especially the IPA from Meantime Brewery in Greenwich.

[hectic]

yeah, I would agree on the Meantime.
