What's your favorite Beer?

Should've tagged me (Seul IH), as I don't really look at anyone's profile on FB… But I've had a look and the regular La Chouffe is a very well known (read: commercial) beer... And to be honest, it's the main reason why I can't recall ever having tried one...

These are two I do wanna try though…

Obviously "good" is subjective but y'all pour a lot of beer down the drain. It has to be really really bad for me to do that. Almost never happens to me.

Seul will be appalled that you dumped that one. But the Grand Cru is excellent, I'll grant you that…
-
Karmeliet will get you sideways in a hurry if that's your ambition
-
Taking the Grand Cru over the Tripel Karmeliet… I reckon about 99.9 % of not too experienced beer drinkers would disagree with you... I, however, am sporting a huge smile... We will talk soon about me sending you 5 kilograms worth of beer for postage cost... Something I'm mulling over, so give me some time... But first of all please tell me: how much did you pay for that last catch, Rafa (exc glass please)?..

C: it's been about a year since I had one, and I was in the mood for one then, so it did taste good… But there are many, many blondes I'd prefer (although blondes are my least fav beers, unlike 2 years ago)... It's very perfumed, somethng I've grown to dislike in a beer... Maybe I should have one again soon!..

let's do so buddy…unless you're looking to send me brands i can also get at the local store. that wouldn't be too smart...as you might know already
the last catch was:
Triple Karmeliet 2.90CHF +0.30
Achel brown 3.90CHF +0.30
La Trappe Quad 3.40CHF +0.30so a total of 10.20CHF + 0.90

I dunno, if you're in the mood for a tripel, or in the mood for a sour, comparing the two doesn't really make sense. I do prefer the Rodenbach style of beer (I can't recall if I've had this one, but I mean sour reds and browns to tripels).

Goddamnit I'm trying to quit beer, but I was looking for some Sammy Smith cider for D, and I just couldn't resist these bombers of hop bombs.
Green flash and Stone are two San Diego breweries that I just fucking love. Stone has been in this market for a couple of years now (I missed it sorely before it made it here), but Green Flash has just penetrated this market apparently.
Two San Diego-style DIPAs. Ruination has long been a favorite. This is the 10 year anniversary edition. I presume the Green Flash is the imperial version of their West Coast IPA, a similarly classic, canonical west coast hop bomb. These are SoCal's answer to similarly iconic NorCal brews such as Russian River's Pliny the Elder, which is sorely missed in this market.
Here we go, trying the Green Flash tonight.
Chunky mouthfeel, typical of the style. Aggressive carbonation. A little breadiness, a lot of hoppiness. Grapefruit, tangerines, mint, pine. I don't know what hops they used but I'm not sure they used the canonical Californian ones; Amarillo, cascade, etc. ah never mind it says summit and nugget hops. Unfamiliar with those.
Great beer, not astounding, blow your hair back, did someone just open a bag of funk kind of beer. But great. Glad it's not any better or it would be hard to set aside when I stop being bad and drinking beer.
EDIT: this beer should be served at warmer temps. Like many IPAs, she opens up beautifully.

Used to love me some Stone & Rogue two favorite past times.

This beer bar back home used to do Grateful Dead Guy night. Hippie music and $9 pitchers of Rogue Dead Guy. I rarely missed a night of that.
