One of my favs… I'll trade hard for a barrel aged version fyi…

Glad you got some Jester King Giles, you've got to make it down to the brewery here in Austin sometime!
Talk about an unexpected haul, this just happened today at the grocery store.

Haven't had the Fresh Squeezed IPA from Deschutes, but I've heard good stuff.
I thought that the Prairie Apple Brandy Noir had been sold out here, but I grabbed the last two bottles. Same goes for the Bomb!, so I'm glad I came across a few more bottles.
Had no idea we got Orval here, so I picked up two bottles along with the Grand Reserve to give some Belgian beer a shot. I blame you Seul!

[Seul]

Good choices… And so jealous of that Bomb!.. 

[Broark]

I think I read a few pages back that I shouldn't drink the Orval cold, correct?

[Seul]

Correct - serve at around 55F…

[Chris]

Glad you liked the Noble King, Giles.  I still haven't unpacked my beer yet.  Happily, it all made it safely back to Houston.

[Broark]

Got it, will report back tonight with my impressions!

Interesting…..

Also a powerful indicator that popularity is no guarantee of quality.

I've always wanted to visit Mongolia…..Not now....

[Megatron1505]

Did you try Bintang in Indonesia G? That stuff is completely indistinguishable from Heineken….not a good thing.

[Broark]

Funny you mention Bintang, wearing this today…

Cheaper than water most of the time over there, and not a terrible beach beer.
Or maybe it's just my fond memories (or lack there of) I have associated with it when I lived in SE Asia.

The fact that Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita is the 20th most popular beer in America has to be a sign of the Apocalypse.

I just died a little more inside…thanks Chris
