What's your favorite Beer?

@Seul:

It's been a while since I had Goudenband, but it's a great entry-level sour!..

It was nice to try something new. Speaking of which…

Big Elm Fat Boy Double IPA. Pretty darn solid.

:o

That's like saying, "Man, I was cleaning out my garage today and remembered i had this S550 AMG. Might drive it some day…"

Great score!  I've only seen one other from that year, and I didn't get to taste it.  Would love to hear/see your impressions/pics if you ever open it.

Wish I could find some of the 2015 Utopias, sounds brilliant:

Haha it was a gift way back in 2011.  It's dusty.  If the Pats win tomorrow I'll toast it. Outside of that I'll be opening a couple different Treehouse brews tonight or tomorrow.

My 35th birthday is May 12th. If any of you are having trouble thinking of a suitable present, Utopia 2011 (w/ fucking taster)

WILL FUCKING SUFFICE…

[Traser2g]

The taster was a gift from Sam Adams.  In order to get it I had to give them the serial number on the bottle and they mailed it to me. Pretty classy.

[Seul]

Yeah that's nice!.. Beautiful looking glass to boot!..

[Traser2g]

Thanks. I'll be using it later after market trip.

My regular trading partner offered me some, but I didn't feel like having to ship him two million bottles of Cantillon in return…

You made the right choice!

I'll keep an eye out. I'm going to a pretty good tasting/trading event next weekend and Sam Adams will actually be there.

Tonight's lineup, shared with mom in law

Treehouse Alter Ego - almost perfect

Wormtown Be Hoppy - too bitter from front to back not well rounded

Big Elm Transformer IPL - their first try, just ok, doesn't hold a candle to Jacks Abbey in this category, which brings me to this..

Jacks Abbey Hoponius Union IPL. Very crisp very solid. No coffee table because kids so I improvised.

HOLIDAYS!.. ONE WEEK TO DRINK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!..

[Seul]

My holiday is off to a BRILLIANT start… Best aged beer I've ever drank... One of the best beers I've ever drank, period... I was scared it'd be past its point, being a 2008 bottle... Fuck me running - it sure as fuck wasn't... Slowly gushing foam when opened, poured a beautiful chestnut with a bit of cognac coloured ale that prominently had port in the nose...

The balance... The balance... Dear gods the balance... I'm pretty sure this was at its absolute PEAK...

[Traser2g]

How do I get that…or something close.

[Seul]

Buy the oldest ones you can find nearby and cellar them… Not sure what state you're from, but they're sold in the US...

[Traser2g]

Cheers. I'll be asking promptly. I'm in Massachusetts btw.

[Finn666]
