@Megatron1505 Thanks, are there any beer online shops in Belgium? How expensive is shipping of fragile stuff usually compared to regular packages?

How to drink beer and not have to deal with that warm piss flavor:

Yet another proposal I have given to the UN to help the worlds starving children get the proper grain intake, but still no answer back. My heart bleeds at the thought.

What kind of beer are you looking for?.. Brown, blond, IPA, sour, black, red, barel aged,… I can compose an order for you...

shoque

@Seul Thanks!

Blond and IPA mostly, and I wouldn't mind to try a third kind.

Feel free to compose something.

Brunette?

Seul

shoque: budget, and/ or desired amount of beers?..

shoque

200 Euros for the beginning, mostly blond and IPAs. Some bottles of other types would be nice, but not too much.

Nice haul E! Just an fyi, the Backwoods Bastard may be the best ale to have crossed my lips. The balance is amazing, and it gives the creamiest, most delectable head (no dirty)I may have ever seen. I am blown away by this brew

Giles

It's difficult to take a post altogether seriously when just 2 lines contain,

Blown
Creamiest
Head
Gives

Thanks jdl. I feel like I'm doing pretty well. My dream is to have a cellar of my own one day…

And it's weird that neither RB or BA have a separate entrance for Backwoods Bastard BBA... Shows just how freakin limited it is... You declaring it the best you've ever had, is not helping me in my urge to wanna try it... ASAP...

G, I could say it was tongue in cheek, but that only makes the statements more perverse.

Eli, I'm surprised neither have a dedicated page. Given the favorable reviews I have gotten word of mouth, I would think some beer geek would've created one. As far as ales go, it really is on a level all it's own. The only other that comes close for me is the Rochefort 10.

Patience will get you far this time my Belgian brother. Thus far I have a KBS, Shipwreck Porter, Backwoods Bastard, and Palo Santo Marron. Plead the 5th just hit and will likely be added, and trying to work a Hopslam trade. Gotta make it worth your wait. Once I fill out the 6 (hoping by the weekend)I will drop them in the mail
