Barbecue til 3am yesterday… Housewarming party at my mate the day before... Feeling a wee bit fragile today...
The only pic I took was this:
Which was a-ok… Drank a 2008 Rochefort 8 before that, which was better
Started with this yesterday: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/boon-oude-geuze-black-label/367485/ Tad boring, but definitely great geuze...

New Belgium Snapshot. Lightly hoppy and citrusy with a little sour on the finish. Just might be my new summer go to.

3F Oude Geuze 2007 - flat, but still good. Prairie Gold bombed after it. Like eating a saltless ricecracker after a 4 course Thai meal.
Too bad about the Prairie Gold. I like it, though I've only had it on it's own. I can see how it could suffer following something else, though.

I shouldn't have drank it after the 3F… But I had to pick something from the refrigerator and there's no geuze in it yet...
I will pick up another bottle and try it on its own...
Btw, this is the bottle next to the De Cam beers: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/to-ol-peardon-my-french/393446/ How freakin awesome does this sound?..
Cider-like Saison brewed with Pears and aged on Sauterne barrels. This crisp ale is straw coloured and sparkling using only Pilsner Malt and Unmalted Wheat, however we used Cider yeast and brewed it with Pears and used Calypso hops, to layer this beer with fruit flavours. This beer was then infused in Sauterne barrels, a sweet French wine, with Brett added into the barrels.

Couple good ones this weekend
Evil Twin Triple IPA. Huge flavor and the 13% is well hidden
Mikeller Citra DIPA. Wow, very well done, will keep these on hand. -
24 of these lovelies, Belgium to UK inc postage; 65 euro.

I know pretty funny. My buddy surprised me with the Evil Twin, I already had my roster lined up. Had a few others too. Maine Beer Co Mean Old Tom, Dogfish Pennsylvania Tuxedo, really a random hodge podge. I did just come from a sharing event so I guess it was par for the course. Tried all these at the tasting

Been a little while, here's what I've been drinking lately.
Saint Arnold Bishops Barrel 12: Christmas ale aged in sauvignon blanc barrels with cherries.
Pretty tasty, but felt a little light. Needed a bit more kick, but I like the influence of the wine barrels.
Prairie Phantasmagoria. New double IPA from one of my favorite breweries.
Really tasty, high in hop flavor but really drinkable at 8% ABV.
Avery Pump[KY]n. Pshew, 15% ABV and a bit too sweet. Interesting beer though.
Prairie / TRVE Sour Red farmhouse ale.
I have to say this is the first beer from Prairie that I've really struggled to drink. I love sour beers but this was just not good. I didn't pour it down the drain but I really thought about doing it…
The Bruery White Oak. I love this beer.
The combination of wheat and barrel aged mix is just great. 12.5% ABV also packs a punch.
Founders Sumatra Mountain brown ale.
Picked up a four pack of this. This beer is awesome. So much coffee.
If there was a beer I could drink it the morning it would be something like this. Very impressed. -
Founders Sumatra Mountain brown ale.
Your post reminded me of this video. While I was in Dallas I got to check Martin House brewery out, love the creativity.

@Broark Like founders beers a lot,especially their Breakfast Stout and their Porter. Recently had some of their KBS,which was pretty good,albeit very strong. Couldn't help but notice the bottle of Makers in the background of all the pictures. Bourbon is really my passion,with Makers being one of my favorites. I'm a Makers Ambassador,and brought Giles a bottle of Cask Strength Makers when I visited him in October. Haven't had regular makers since they came out with the Cask Strength version. I'm in NJ and a lot of the really cool limited edition beer doesn't make it here. Have to make it to Austin some day,as I also love BBQ.–Jett

@Jett129 very nice, I like Founders beers a lot too. I didn't manage to get any KBS this year sadly, but maybe I'll come across some next time around. The Sumatra Mountain was a nice surprise since I had never had it before, I also really like their Backwoods Bastard ale. Most of their beers in general are solid.
I also like Maker's quite a bit, although I tend to drink more beer than hard liquor. My dad's side of the family is from Kentucky so it's in my blood to have a proclivity for bourbon! I'll have to check out the Cask Strength stuff sometime if I see it in the local liquor stores, I've had the 46 and it's also great.
If you ever make it down to Austin I'll show you where the best beer and barbecue are, same goes for anyone else on the forum!
