200 Euros for the beginning, mostly blond and IPAs.

Some beers I would recommend from Etre Gourmet (I'll do a separate one for Bergium)…

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

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

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

Seul

No worries: I'm gonna let you work your magic… I will most certainly ship you some of my favourite beers if you want... Kinda unsure whether you still wanna do a trade...

jdl1279

Definitely do, the wagon ride was short lived. I'm dying to get my mitts on Belgium's finest brews, if nothing else, for comparison. Will have to exchange addys again when ready, as mine changed and I lost yours in the shuffle

All goes to plan…may be able to do something in the bourbon department down the line too

Not sure if anyone else saw this during the Super Bowl but this Budweiser commercial really pissed me off.
My girlfriend didn't understand why, and I feel like this article sums up why.

Saw it, funny thing is ab now own all of the craft breweries repped in this spot

Seul

Lotta smaller breweries are making fun of Budweiser because of it…

Chris

It was a cynical idea and this one line from that article summarizes it perfectly- "Budweiser consumers will simply see the ad’s obvious message: 'Craft beer is for pretentious fools, Budweiser is for real people' and presumably let confirmation bias do the rest of the work."

I'm a little surprised that A-B signed off on it, since they're generally much smarter with their advertising. You don't sell the most beer in the world by publicly being a dick.

Broark

I like the rebuttal from Firestone Walker, those are good people!

Drank a few of my recent purchases last night during the Superbowl.

This was definitely top of the list, nice and funky. Could drink this every day!
Sour with a very dry finish, reminded me of some of Jester King's farmhouse ales.

Pleasently surprised by the Divine Reserve 15, nothing to rave about but definitely worth drinking.

This came as a recommendation from the guy at the shop.
Wasn't too keen on the one I had last night, but I was a few in at that point.
Drinking another one now and enjoying it quite a bit more.
Gotta support local Austin breweries.

Had a few more good beers tonight.

Victory at Sea by Ballast Point, fantastic beer. Did not expect this one to be so good.

Imperial Stout by Founders, quite boozey but toned down a bit as I drank it.

Any shipment of beer that has a KBS, Backwoods Bastard, Palo Santo Marron, and a Hopslam is worthy of a Mission Impossible type interception operation. Where do you live again, jdl?
