What's your favorite Beer?

I didn't see that before, Gav, suz. Lemme have a look.
Rochefort: only get the 10. It's kinda ok price-wise I guess?.. They cost 2.2 € here. 2.85 for a Westmalle Tripel is steep cause they cost 1.3 € here. As for the Cantillon: have you drank geuze before?.. Perhaps wait til you've tried the one I will send you?..
In short, if you order, get these:
- ROCHEFORT 10
- WESTMALLE TRIPEL
- CANTILLON GEUZE BIO 75 CL
- CANTILLON CUVEE ST GILLOISE
About storing:
- got a cellar?..
- a dark storage room perhaps with preferably a constant temperature, and preferably cold?..
I' not reading that whole effin manifest, but in short:
- anything with a champagne cork => store flat (cork gets wet, expands, no oxidation in the bottle, only risk is getting a "corked" bottle)…
- anything with a regular cap: store vertically...
- if you wanna drink a bottle you've stored horizontally, let it rest vertically for at least 48 hours.

Thank you mate

If I were you, I'd order from http://www.bieresgourmet.be/catalog/
Even with shipping it might be cheaper…
As for stacking, here's a pic:
Saisons in the door (saisons are not bottles you store, so they're in the fridge to be had within a month or so), geuzes, other lambics and old brown beers with a champagne cork stored horizontally, everything else is standing...
As for the soy milk in the door: I'm not sure how to store that… :-\

Woah - what a haul!.. Big spender!.. Even I haven't bought the Deus Brut de Flandres before. Are you knowledgeable about champagnes?.. Would be great to have a nice review!..
Goudenband and Rodenbach Grand Cru: best old browns I've had to date…
Westmalle double: not a fan, but then I'm not a fan of doubles... They're too bloody light!..

Your coaster is killing me.. One promise though: if you smoke one of them menthol fags before or during drinking Belgian beer, I'll shove a sleeve of 'm up your arse… Wrapped with barbwire... And no courtesy "Pucker up!" warning either...
Rofl!!!

Finally found the Sammy cider. It's awesome.

Weird beer… Great, great, absolutely great taste...
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Collaboration brew with Stillwater Artisanal Ales (USA). Crowned last week with a golden Award for Best newcomer in the world 2011.This Belgian Strong Ale was married to a still young but powerful style, the Black IPA. You’ll discover a smooth chocolate like strong ale together with the high & bitter hop schedule of an IPA, and you get a great result…

BrewdogAberdeen collab, Black Rocker:
Smoked black rye ale, very smooth…
Last night before I became truly drunk, one of the extremely kind bar staff let me try a taste of Tactical Nuclear Penguin
Extremely nice is all I can remember, I'll have to refresh my memory later.
-
BrewdogBirmingham & Lovibonds collab, happy endings:
Lemongrass and Ginger wheat beer… Refreshing...
-
Growing envy for your Brewdog experience MorP. Beer in the UK really does not get better than that.

Trons planning a family visit to Belgium before Christmas maybe…....oh shiiiiiiiiit.

Well, it all ends tomorrow :(. Back to Cheshire… I'll just have to call in at the Manchester bar on the way back :).
I have certainly never encountered friendlier or more helpful bar staff...
