        I've had the Bells Porter and really liked it. I'm mostly a stout and porter guy. But never see the selection of beers,in New Jersey, like some of you have available. Left Hand Nitro Milk stout probably my favorite these days.

                Do any of you lovely US fellas know of an online store with a big selection of beers and glasswear?.. Don't really care where it's based (obviously), as long as they ship to most states…

                  Austin Beerworks Wet-Hop IPA. Managed to get a 4 pack very fresh and it was really tasty.
                  Will be drinking the rest this weekend while watching football.

                    @Seul
                    I have ordered from craftshack.com a few times. Never had a problem.

                    I may have a chance to go to Cantillon Zwanze Day on October first. I know nothing about Belgium beers. I have never tried anything from Cantillon. In addition to the Zwanze they will also have these from  Cantillon on draft
                    Gueze 100% Lambic
                    Kriek
                    Mamouche
                    Iris Grand Cru

                    I thought I would ask an expert. Is it worth going to try these beers?
                    Thanks

                        If you like sours: yes. I haven't tried a lot of Cantillon honestly because I end up trading them away most of the time… But he definitely makes solid beers...

                        I had already checked Craftshack... I guess it's a tad more difficult to find one big online store in the US that has all the rare beers, what with all the different laws in different states...

                          I tried to get tickets to Zwanze day at Jester King but I was not fortunate enough to get selected in their ticket lottery. 😞

                            Craftshack has Allagash Curieux, 4-packs of Even More Jesus 16oz cans, Evil Twin Aus Mas Cafe, Goose Island Halia, Bruery Mélange 15, Russian River Damnation… This could get expensive  😠

                            For now: a shitty, fresh Struise beer... Bought two to try it again, but I'll never like this one... Especially fresh... Struise beers need 6-18 months after being bottled to evolve... Always been my experience...

                              Resident Belgian beer expert @Seul , what's your opinion on Brasserie de la Senne?
                              JK posted on their blog that they actually got some imported and will be selling it at the brewery and was wondering if you had any thoughts on their beer.
                              I'm always trying to find new Belgian beers to seek out!

                                I've tried some of their stuff, latest being Bruxellensis, which I would definitely recommend to Orval lovers…

                                Solid brewery that hasn't made anything groundbreaking, really, but usually churns out ok beers...

                                  Thanks, I'll give 'em a shot next time I'm out at the brewery!

                                    A (nerdy) thing you can do, is check RateBeer (or Beeradvocate, either works) and write down the names of their best beers (or memorise the list, if your brain still works)… Or check the reviews and see what would probably be your thing... Just easier to avoid buying shitty beers/ potential fridge turds this way... I do this with every beer I buy these days by the way… Mainly cause I don't have the money or space to experience and go by instinct... Every brewery makes shitty beers, and most of the times if a store sells their best offering, they also sell their worst...

                                      I do tend to check BA before almost every purchase, just was wondering if you had any personal insight since it's a Belgian brewery. 😛
                                      I have zero fridge space too right now, means I need to start drinking more…

                                        ^ sound advice.

                                        Last night and a case in point, an ordinary beer from Amundsen. Great idea, boringly executed.

                                            I know, right? Amundsen's graphics dude is a star. Check the stout I had from them a week ago. I've got a black cherry sour from them too with mad graphics. Their beers are normally good too. This wasn't bad, just meh. And who's got time for that?
