      A few recent ones-


      I like most of the beers I've tried from Hitachino, but this is one of my favorites.


      This was a disappointment.  The complete lack of carbonation killed it for me.


      Same problem.  Flat as tap water.  Decent flavor, but I just couldn't get past the, I don't know what it's called- "mouth feel"?


      This, on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise.  I bought a six pack of it back in 2011 and didn't really like it.  As a result, it got pushed to the back of my beer fridge.  Lately I've been cleaning out old stuff, and I decided to give it a try before I poured it down the sink.  I don't know if my tastes have changed, or five years of aging have improved it, but it's really good.  I'll have try the fresh version and see what I think.

          @Traser2g - that haul…  😞
          @NewTopGearPresenter - glad I didn't ship you what I had in mind… Needs to be carbonated: check... 🙂

          It is so good I could cry... Honestly: amazing... And this isn't even their top material...

            This Tree House Haze is incredible.

              How does the Haze compare to Julius?
              At a birthday party tonight. Both really good. A lot more bourbon flavor in the green label.

                Jester King collaboration beer with Side Project and Off Color called Intersection of Species.
                Really nice farmhouse ale brewed with honey and tangerines. Great summer beer.

                Also drank the 2013 oak barrel aged grand cru from BFM. Really nice, but the flatness was my only complaint.
                None the less it was delicious, I'm interested in how that Vin Jaune version is @Seul !

                Another Jester King collaboration, this time with Local Option. This one was Feral Dampf.
                Gotta say not my favorite beer from Jester King. Maybe it ages well? No idea…

                And I really wanted to go get a bottle of gin barrel Nocturne Chrysalis but just look at this damned line…



                Have to say no beer is worth that kind of wait!

                  Broark: check the label in the neck. I think the Greatest Hits Tome 3 is the Vin Jaune (VJ)…

                    @Sage954 the Haze is a double and super dank. The Julius is juicier altogether.  Both have their merits I just tend to like DIPAs the most. Haze was almost sold out when I went so I only got a few cans. 1 is in the fridge and ready to go, must exercise willpower.

                      Aged in Heaven Hill barrels for two years (?) I think. Most limited version. I also hate you.  😠

                        Yes. It's the 2013 BCBS aged in 35 year old Heaven Hill barrels.

                          Yikes, that's ridiculous!  The beer did sound good, though.

                              Drinking an almost two year old I Love You With My Stout from Evil Twin and it's even better than when it was fresh.

                                I guess I'm just in a stout / unseasonable beer mood tonight.
                                This Christmas Bomb from last year is a lot better than the 2014 versions.

                                  I could drink nothing but Bomb and be totally fine with that.

                                          I think I have the best answer, if not already given. The best beer EVER…is the one in my hand 🙂
