Thanks, fellas. I appreciate it.

Zwer, looks like that glass is still half full to me. I'm in town btw, if you want to get a beer/coffee or something Sunday/Monday let me know.

Drinking Old Rasputin Russian Imperial today. Love this stuff.

Might be picking up some Westvleteren 12 at the monastery soon… Didn't see I could call this morning to order two cases though

^I've wanted to do that for ages, but from what I've read on various blogs is that you need great luck for them to pick up the phone, some people spent hours trying to get through …

Life is so sweet sometimes. Lori is cooking dinner and we're sipping one of my absolute favorites. Forêt. AKA Organic Saison DuPont.

Indeed, many thanks!

Beer I picked up in Brussels. Only made there and has a sour tang, has something to do with the air there if I remember correctly.
-
Ha ha I tried a lot more. Wish I bought some back from Prague! Very hard to find good beer in the UK.

Two words…....Brew Dog. That is all you need to know about finding great beer in the UK.

Any other hop-heads? Not sure that these styles are common outside of the US, though I've had some good variants down under, such as Little Creatures Pale Ale in Perth, seemingly modeled on the northwestern American Pale Ale style. The Belgians have made some hop-forward brews, but none that I've sampled quite have the punch I'm looking for. I think the esters introduced via bottle conditioning and the smaller bubbles take some of the bite away.
Taking this style of hop-forward, malt-backward style to an extreme:
Russian River Pliny the Elder
Three Floyds Dreadnaught
Bell's Hopslam!
Stone Ruination
Surly Abrasive AleAll American Imperial IPAs in the West Coast tradition, which is to say, super bitter, lots of citrus/pine resin hop flavor, high proof, heavy mouthfeel, and a weak malt backbone, typically pale / crystal malts. Unbalanced, brash, obnoxious, uncouth, and either beloved or hated… American ;).

I've tried all of those except the Surly. They're all great, especially Pliny and Hopslam. Founders Devil Dancer is awesome as well, but it is a bit maltier.
