What's your favorite Beer?

My gawwwdd!!! I am in love
This certainly lives up to the nameWhat's the ABV on that if it's an impy? 9-10%? Looks boss. I'll have to try and score some.
Visiting the 3Fonteinen Open Beer Days next week to score me some fucking VINTAGE!!!
These guys are on my must try list… How does the cost escalate if they're considered "vintage"?
-
Well I'll let you know…
My first vintage... Only seen 'm online...Probably going on a whole beer-related trip btw... 3 Fonteinen to Lille (https://www.saveur-biere.com/fr/) to pick up some big arse orders, then to Deconinck to pick up some Prairie and Evil Twin beers they have coming in next week...
At least a 500 € trip right there... Luckily my mate doesn't have to pay for gas ::)

The menu tonight:
Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin. No photo, just picked up the canned version. Funny how it used to be so highly sought after here, and now it's seemingly widely available. I'm not complaining, still a nice beer.
Green Flash Hop Head Red. Delicious. I've slept on Green Flash for awhile, no longer.
Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen. A bit early in the season but I'm not complaining. Hope the Ayinger supply lasts, I'm loving their beers.
The star of the show: 512 Funky Kingston. A local brewery (literally a mile or so down the road from where I live…) who rarely even bottle anything. The majority of their beers are available in kegs only for distribution locally, so when they bottle something it's a big deal and something you definitely have to pick up. This is great, nice mellow sour. Hope they start bottling more! -
I don't know why we're inundated with 'merican beers… Trades, maybe?.. Contacted Deconinck and they have another batch of Evil Twin and Prairie beers incoming next week... Just in time for our visit...

I'm in the process of quitting my fave tobacco product, snus (called dip in the US, I believe). All monies saved will be hereby sent to

Cool post @Broark . So much good stuff in the USA it seems. Very little gets out here to Norway. Brooklyn Brewing Co, a little Founders, a little Anchor. The best stuff so far has been the Boulevard Brewery - Smokestack series.
I feel you, same situation here in Sweden. Me and a friend are trying to change that though. Until then, the "Tillfälligt sortiment-hyllan" at Systembolaget will have to do

I apologize Mr Seul, but this is actually pretty tasty.
-
^That's getting good reviews though…
I'm drinking Orval and I'm confident that
- It's much better to be drank fresh (under 6 months old)
- It's the best beer in the world under 8%... It's definitely the most perfect beer all around...
- It's the beer where the glass made for it is well thought out, and attributes to it...
Overall: I could drink this all day. I actually try to restrain myself and not have it more than once a week or two weeks even, fearing I might grow tired of it, but that just doesn't happen.
In short: best beer, best glass. neph93: I hope I'm able to pick one up soon... Of course all the stores I'm visiting are out of stock...
-
I also love Orval, we've been getting stock a bit more consistently here in Texas.
I have one or two bottles in my fridge at the moment, experimenting with fresh vs. aged a bit.
From the other two bottles I've already drank I've found that I liked the fresh bottle a bit more than the age. Just more flavor and bite.
Now I just need to track down a glass! -
I'd ship you one but they apparently break easily in transit, just ask neph93…
You could kill a fucking elephant with this glass, that's how sturdy it is, but even if you wrap it in such an amount of bubblewrap that the size equals that of the Hindenburg (pre-fire), rest assure that some asshole postal worker drives over it with his car and shatters it...
