What's your favorite Beer?

Guess my glass wasn't too clean or something, but the head will not go down…

I eventually just dipped my nose in and had a sip… Went down a bit... Is this normal with Chimay??? Anyway... Only having it cause it's only 7° and I gotta work early tomorrow...

My local LCBO gets a lot of the red in, so I have had it a bunch of times, and I can safely say that yes it does that most of the time.

6pm = beer o'clock

This a current fave.  Not sure how it passed me by for quite as long as it did, given it's one of my favourite styles of beer these days.

The Cuvee van de Keizer was slightly sweet and had a sour apple aftertaste.  This however is much drier and well balanced.  Totally different flavors from two BIG beers.  Gotta love the Belgians and their yeasts.

Mmmmmm…..

Something crazy…

That sounds pretty interesting.  How was it?

[Seul]

Pretty uninteresting.

With you on that one, great taste, really similar to a lot of US microbrewery IPA's, which I really like….sadly they're not easily available over here

After sending that pic of my car to college roommate, he sent me an email saying he had something to cheer me up the next time we hang out:

Needless to say, I am no expert, but I am excited to try it!

Pic's not showing, Tom…

Remember when I told y'all how tempted I was to buy this in the beginning of December, but how the price wasn't right?.. Patience rewarded...

Nice 33cl. (not 25!) glasses, very good for blond beer. Oh and some random restock of the Gouden Carolus classic and the Straffe Hendrik quadruple…

[thomasnunnally]

Nice Eli.  I updated the post with a stock pic.  But Westy 12.

I need to look for the Straffe Hendrik at my local Philly place the next time I am there.

I'll trade pretty much ANYTHING for one bottle of WXII… Any beer you wanna try...

[thomasnunnally]

Haha, my college roommate is a big trader on beeradvocate….you want me to get in touch with him about it?  I don't know anything about sending beer in the mail though.

Hey snap:

I actually, co-incidentally, just read about a bar in the town next to mine… They serve only Trappist beers, and also Westvleteren... My best mate is moving into this town in September, btw, so guess what the first thing we'll do is gonna be?.. Price: 3 €/ trappist... Specials: 2.5 €... 

[Chris]

3€ for Trappist beer on tap? And 2.50€ specials?  No wonder you drink so much- that's (nearly) cheaper than bottled water.

[Seul]

Not on tap per se… Although I read they're having Achel on tap... Achel being the least-known ATP that is... I only know I gotta get my arse over there asap...

In my city, most trappist beers (bottles) are sold for around 3-4 € in bars though...

Considering the only place with consistent trappist selection in Ottawa charges $15 dollars for a Westmalle Tripel (330 ml bottle), I have to agree with you on that Chris.  Fortunately, I got in touch with an agency here, so now I get better deals, but I will have to buy everything by the case.
