What's your favorite Beer?

Tripel Karmeliet…or maybe Duvel

@Seul:

I love this beer so much…

Old Chub is great, even better on nitro.

[Seul]

Great, refined brew… Expected more body for a 10.5% beer though...

[Broark]

Uh oh, Jester King released their info about their first spontaneously fermented beer.

Tons of info here on how it's been made, I already requested off work just now to make sure I get myself a bottle or two.

Fine read… Lot of big names in the t(h)ank list... Let us know how it is (or trade me a bottle you bastard)!.. 

[Broark]

We'll see if I manage to get any bottles, if I do I'd be willing to make a trade!
I'd have to imagine they have a ticket system in mind with the announcement a month before the release.

Also I'm going to Chicago over Thanksgiving, any beers I should try and track down while I'm there?

[Broark]

Forgot to add that at trivia last night we had quite the beer lineup.
KBS (and I got to take home a Founders mug), DFA 120 Minute and tried out the Prairie Paradise.
All were amazing and well over 11%. Glad I made it home just fine!

[Seul]

Prairie Paradise… You lucky dog...

And I'm sure I'll read about it in this thread if you do manage to get a(n extra) bottle... 

[Broark]

This'll be the first place I post about it.

[Seul]

Aggressively peated… Would prefer the more easy-going Kees Peated Impy Stout...

Great read on the Jester King. I learned a lot. Seems to me the beer would be different every time because of the spontaneous fermentation. I guess that could be good or bad.

Drinking this one tonight. Another great beer.

^^^super jealous of those Treehouse beers you've been posting.

But many of the Treehouse (and Trillium) beers that I've seen pictures of have been SUPER cloudy and opaque.  Have you heard anything in your area about why their beers are so remarkably hazy. There are obviously a few reasons that beers are cloudy, and this looks intentional since it's present in so many of their beers, but I was wondering if you have heard anything from the Brewers, maybe?

BTW, that's an awesome countertop!

@adam313 I'm in maryland so haven't spoken to the Brewers at TH or Trillium. It seems to be a trend. Almost a new style, everyone is calling it  New England IPA. Aslin is a local brewer here and they are brewing similar stuff.  Three guys who were home brewers that got tired of driving to trillium, tree house and hill farmstead for good beer. I have asked them the same question. They say it is the oils from the hops combining with the yeast that get suspended and causing the haze. They say it is related to the hop schedule. I Don't brew so it was all over my head. This is one of their beers.

Thank you for such a money answer!! Fascinating. I've done dry hopping but not like that I guess. This will be a great thing to research over the next several days. Love it

Thank you! That beer looks dreamy

Jester King Black Metal, batch 18.
Had it quite a few times, never get tired of it!

[Seul]

It's a Dolle brew alright - mad carbo but brilliant…

[Aetas]

Special Extra Export. Interesting

Dolle carbonation is always something special. 

[Seul]

Well good news on that front: the Oerbier '05 I had recently had mellowed down significantly!.. So just needs about a decade!..

[Sage954]

collab with Omnipollo. Buddy of mine brought this back from Philadelphia. Just released last week.

When you walk into a bar and know you've come to the right place. Thanks @Peter
