What's your favorite Beer?

See I've had Pliny the Elder when I was out in SF, and honestly I thought it wasn't nearly as good as Supplication from Russian River. But Pliny the Younger is a different monster I'm sure.
And really if I could keep a case of anything in the fridge it would be Atrial Rubicite aged in sherry barrels.
But that's just crazy talk! -
MMMMMMmmmm, aged on dried Cherries!
And yes, triple IPA's on draft are
Googling Rubicite, keep talkin!…..good work

Atrial is one of those ones that you'll have to make it out to Jester King to get (at least in previous years).
Really most of their sours tend to get really hyped up, not always rightfully so, but most I've had are great.
Sadly their production is still so small that a lot of the time if you're not lucky enough to make it to the brewery the weekend that the beer gets released you might miss it entirely. Kind of annoying as someone who works weekends at times, but when you do get to go out there it's always a great time.
The one I'm still kicking myself for missing out on was Fen Tao. -
I have nothing against a road trip with a purpose

Fen Tao was very, very good. I got super lucky on that one.

So looks like Jester King is having their Zwanze Day and releasing Cantillon for the first time legally in Texas, I'm going to try and get tickets to it. A ticket garuntees you a pour of 2015 Zwanze and some other swag.
But it ALSO guarantees you to be able to purchase one bottle of Cantillon from these three: Bruocsella Grand Cru, Kriek, and Gueuze.
Which two would you pick? I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to go with me so I can get two bottles.
But if I'm not able to convince her and I go on my own, which one would you go with?
They're also going to have both Kriek and Gueze on tap, so I'm going to definitely drink those too.
All things considered this is only if I get one of the 200 available tickets!
In other news I'm drinking another Live Oak beer that has recently been canned, their Pilz.
Very nice, not as nice as their heffe.

The bruoscella is definitely one for the future. I got it without doing research first and it needs a couple of years proper cellaring. As I didn't have the facilities to do so at the time I had it young and it was not a great time

The Gueze is excellent. I'm envious that you'll get to have it on tap (if you get a ticket, that is. Fingers crossed for you).

But, good news!.. They fucked up another batch and they're gonna let it barrel age a bit longer, in effect creating a 2nd batch of Tilquin²!..
