What's your favorite Beer?

@Seul:

It's something they probably have never witnessed before: an American going crazy for Loons… 

Damn, I'm so excited about beer shopping with you again tomorrow @Seul and seeing Brewmaster @emceeQ again on Sunday!  And I'm not even that fond of beer (sorry) 

[Seul]

Not that fond of this particular beer… Had high hopes but it's too damn harsh...

Just picked up my 2016 Cantillon from my local shop  :D. Only two Fou Foune and two Lou Pepe :-X.
All the American guys took the rest! @emceeQ

My buddy and I went out to Jester King for the SPON release, their first spontaneously brewed beer.
I'll preface it with the fact that we waited maybe about 2 and a half or 3 hours for the beer, crazy I know.
To give you an idea of how long the line really was, I'm up at the very top right of this photo (in the distance behind the car that is in the foreground), with about 175 people in front of me.

They had 4 different blends of the beer (which were each basically the same beer, but blended on different dates). Each person was able to get two bottles, whatever batch they wanted.
I went with 1 and 4, figured you'd get the biggest difference between the first and last blend.
I also had a pour of each different one, and they were are subtly different in their own way but not different enough for me to go out there and wait in line again for the other two.

And Olive enjoyed herself, even if the crowds scared her a bit.

olive is an awesome doggie.  how much beer did she drink or was she the designated driver?

[Broark]

Thanks mm, she opted to be our designated driver yesterday.
She needs to stop chasing squirrels while behind the wheel though.

Had this last night. Super boozy Belgian red with a dry, oaky finish. Bloody great.

Yesterday, with mates… Smoking Wood Rye Whiskey BA '14. Brilliant.

Tonight I am going to a birthday party here in Belgium.  The host has told me that there are 6 special bottles of beer behind the bar for me, and me only.  The password to release each of these bottles is "English Drunkard" apparently….

[neph93]

Sounds bloody brilliant. I expect blurry pictorial evidence…

[Seul]

I expect Giles needing some Bloody Maries and 'za for lunch tomorrow…

[Giles]

He still has a pulse….

[Seul]

It's a start…

This is a good read for anyone who follows the beer advocate top beers list.

Good article, makes you think about things a bit.

Not a bad haul - thank you so much to my personal beer buyer…....

[Jett129]

Any stouts or porters in there?

[Giles]

Yep…..

[Seul]

There's half a case of this somewhere in it, Jett129:
