What's your favorite Beer?

This is pretty much how I like my IPAs best: vinous and slightly tart.
And I'm sorry for using the word vinous.

I know this is like the 3rd time this summer I've posted this beer, but fekk it.
Summer's raised it's sexy head for one last hurrah. It's 25 C and I'm 150km north of the arctic circle. Kids and wife are out and I have Gueze Tilquin. Shoot me now, because it will probably never get better this. Cheers guys, and thank you Belgium (and Seul).

That brewery had me confused for a long time… It still does... Here's why...
- Ommegang is a beer here in Belgium as well
- Ommegang (US) is owned by Moortgat-Duvel (BE)
- Ommegang (US) makes beers with names such as Rare Vos (Flemish) and Goudenhop (Dutch for Golden hop)
Big difference is that Ommegang (BE) is brewed by Haacht, and it sucks, whilst Ommegang (US) makes several brilliant beers...
Oh: and I haven't had a chance to taste any of their beers, but going by memory, the ones that interested me most were Hennepin and Three Philosophers.

The Blithering Idiot barleywine….which is phenomenal. They were another brewer I hadn't tried, but had heard great things. This shop has been stepping it up bringing in new stuff of late and it had gotten hard to keep up. They even have tapped your market more, including a few more trappists and some Delirium

Three Philosophers is good. I think the only other one from Ommegang I've had was one of their Game Of Thrones special editions, can't remember which one. I do remember it was strongly alcoholic tasting, which I didn't particularly like.

This system is a couple years old now but I think it's kinda neat.
The cup has a small washer around a hole in the bottom. When the spigot seal breaks, a magnet closes the cup. It's a gimmick but cool to watch.
