What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

Good news everyone!.. I've decided to cut back on my drinking… My stomache and espcially my liver have been giving me some hassle for a couple of weeks now, and enough is enough!.. Time to tackle the last (and most difficult) pilar of my unhealthy livingstyle... I will, of course, not stop drinking… I am Belgian after all... But, the new idea is to only have either two beers before a workday (or one and two glasses of wine)... This may still sound like a lot to some of you, but cutting back this drastically 4x/ week is a good start...

I will of course drink like a fish on my days off and my holidays 

On the menu for today: STILLE NACHT 2012 and PLEAD THE TH BOURBON BARREL AGED. So: no wine!..

Good on you Eli! Sounds closer to my levels, except I don't limit abv at all.

[Seul]

Nope: no more limits for me neither… The tons of calories found in the dark ales will be compensated by not drinking wine... 

[jdl1279]

I don't drink wine, so I wouldn't have had to make the distinction. I drink what I want when I want, but typically only 2-3 at a time, and many times 1. Usually have a few Bourbon belts if I really want to get loose, which isn't often.

Can't resist, must purchase

How much is it?..

[Seul]

Thornbridge Bracia. 50cl. 10%. Good stout. Love the texture of the beer, the head, the colour, but the taste lacks something… But then I'm more of a fan of (bourbon) barrel aged imperial stouts...

[jdl1279]

I picked up four bottles @$6.99 each. I would suspect you could acquire it for less, but it's a rare bird in these parts.

I had that rochefort the other day, picked up in whitefish Montana for 7.99.  I enjoyed it, really complex flavour.

[jdl1279]

Looking forward to it myself. I also snagged some Clown Shoe's Chocolate Sombrero and some Strawman. I need to familiarize myself with the Belgians more, both places I pick up are expanding what they offer from native land of the pigboy

If you ever have a question about a Belgian beer, fire away…

This reminds me: I need to buy you some beers when I visit Geers on Thursday...

[jdl1279]

No rush, I'm frustratingly awaiting your shipper, the first seems to have been lost. I'll need to make note of what all they have and ask appropriately. I know they carry a few Chimay, but beyond I'm not sure.

[Seul]

What d'you mean: you ordered a beer for me and it didn't arrive?.. Don't spend too much money dude!.. It's gonna be insanely expensive for you to ship to me 

[jdl1279]

No the container I am shipping in. Not more expensive, but more secure for such a trip.

[jdl1279]

This is pretty good

The Rochefort 10 is amazing. It's easy to get here, so I take it for granted. Consequently, I haven't had it for quite a while. I think I see where this is heading. Jdl, you're a bad influence on me.

[jdl1279]

You're welcome!;)

[Seul]

In love…

[jdl1279]

That is a good one, had it on tap at Dark Horse a while back.

[Seul]

Just finished it… Wished I had another...
