What's your favorite Beer?

[Finn666]

fuck the choice of glass…they all look the same as soon as they're empty

not sure, wasn't liking it, but i also wasn't hating on it...a bit like the st.feuillien, just way different (if that makes any sense at all )...i guess you know what i'm trying to say eli, right?! ^^

Sours (and very specifically geuzes) are an acquired taste. I took out this summer to get into them. So just keep drinking 'm.

[Chris]

Sours are awesome.  I wish more breweries in the US would try doing them, but they are more of an acquired taste than most other styles.

[Finn666]

still have a little army sitting in the fridge…ready and waiting

[Seul]

Have you had geuzes before, Chris?.. Cause I'm sending you my two favourites tomorrow…

[Chris]

A few- Monk's Cafe, Timmerman's, Lindeman's; that's all, I think.  Always open to trying some new ones,  especially ones you think are worthwhile.

[Seul]

Jealous of that Monk's… But Timmermans and Lindemans are defo not (good) geuzes at all...

Coming to the ole Chippendale Rd:

This is just INCREDIBLE!.. Jesus tapdancing christ!!! 9%, dark ale  (but dark amber coloured), complex, soft… Just PERFECTLY balanced...

Seriously: I'm in LOVE!..

^ habe to seeing I can order that from the shop here…would be sweet (since we almost have a pretty similar taste)!

moved to one of my favorites this evening...check the glass Eli

St Feuillien is becoming a hit at work, selling like crazy… If my brother's thirsty tonight, I might open the big bottle I have in my fridge... Been a while since I had it!..

[Finn666]

imo one of the best beers for the money…perfect in every situation!

[Seul]

It's pretty good seeing as it's low in alcie at 7.5%, but there are tons of better blondes out there (and I don't mean [SFW] https://lh3.ggpht.com/_8PYnkPsYiZg/TK6SLTrsWVI/AAAAAAAABp4/gNpZi3vETJ8/s1600/pig.jpg )

[Seul]

Not good… Yes, you can taste the chocolate, no it's not a good mix/ unbalanced as fuck. Too bad!..

[Seul]

Fuck it - poured it in the sink. Live and learn!..

Dedicated to Rafa, I'm having this!..

@Seul:

It's pretty good seeing as it's low in alcie at 7.5%,

Ha. "Low" he says. Not a big fan of Belgian beer for the most part but at least they have ABV ideas I can relate to…

[Seul]

Well during the summer I regularly do beers under 6-7%… All other seasons I usually hover around 10-13% though... But it's still warm and sunny here, so this relatively light St Feuillien is a godsend right now 

And I'm wondering what Belgian beers you had that didn't impress you... I need names, McKleine!.. OR HEADS WILL ROLL!..

[mclaincausey]

I just don't dig top fermentation and champagny bubbles. I can appreciate them, but if I'm drinking beer and taking that caloric hit, I want a big, hoppy over the top West Coast IPA with notes of citrus and pine resin. The bitterer the betterer.

If examples of this aren't available over there id gladly send some.

I do love a sour beer, red Flemish ales have rung my bell before.

We do a Belgian beer Fest here annually, I'll send the menu next time, would love to see how a Belgian regarded it.

[Seul]

Yeah, you should!..

As for really bitter beers, you'd love De Struise's ELLIOT BREW and Fantôme's BRISE-BONBONS!.. Just of the top of my head, there are lots more, but honestly I do not like these kind of beers so not very knowledgeable about 'm… But we have 'm!.. 

And I'm sure you'd LOVE our geuzes!..

So on my way back from lunch I noticed a brewery is being constructed across the street from work. I think it may be Fulton, an outstanding local brewery. This will get ugly.

[mclaincausey]

Seul, I found a tap list from a past Belgian beer Fest. Any standouts here?  Geez kinda weak looking, too many American beers.
