What's your favorite Beer?
-
Wondering whether to take my 'dead bottle' collection with me… Yes, you read that right.
-
Keep a picture or the labels. Let em go IMO.
-
No picture, but I am drinking a Rochefort 10 whilst watching the match, and it is bloody lovely.
-
I like the sweet taste, especially with the slice of orange in the Blue Moon. Goes well with pizza or a burger. Also, they are made locally here in Golden, Colorado!
-
It's a nice beer J, and now widely available in the UK too so easily accessible for me
-
Using the rationale that "it's too large a bottle to fit in the same box as my Brewdog beers" tonight I have liberated my last "souvenir" from London:
Stone, Old Guardian: Oak Smoked 2013 odd year release…
11.4 ABV.
Very nice indeed :).
And regarding my dead bottles, I think I'll just take the labels and the memories
@Mega... You beer snob, you

Why doesn't this surprise me: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/blue-moon-belgian-white-ale/2228/
There's a lot of beer snobbery built into that rating, I think. If it wasn't mass produced and widely available, I bet the score would be 25 points higher. It's really pretty decent beer, and better than virtually anything else brewed in the US on a national/international scale.

As far as US beer goes, all I've really tried is what has been available locally (until I found the various Brewdog bars). So: Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Goose Island etc. There are more that I've tried, but I can't recall.
All quite nice, I really like Anchor and some of the Goose Island. Although their "interpretation" of a classic British ale is, I have to say, fucking appalling.
Now this is beer snobbery: I find I like the US beer more when they do there own thing rather than trying to ape other countries style of brewing.
I need to widen my palate, but the problem at the moment (apart from lack of funds) is that the nearest beer shop to me currently is in Leeds. Which is a couple of hours away. The other alternative is buy online, where I'll get hit by postage costs… The dilemma of the drinker :(.

My mistake, I thought you where disparaging Blue Moon for being widely available in the U.K. But on closer inspection, that turns out to be a happy emoticon (and part of me just died inside for typing the "word" emoticon, damn it happened again).
So, to summarise:
Leave me alone!! I'm drunk :P.
Oh, this Old Guardian works fast…
-
At 12%, this is stronger than I've had in a while. Pretty good, especially once I let it warm up a bit.
-
Oh, and this is a quick "Before" pic from my badly in need of reorganization beer fridge.
Really gotta get this thing cleaned up and figure out exactly what's lurking in there.
