What's your favorite Beer?

[Giles]

Didn't you have a glass?

@Giles:

That is actually a glass from Kent Falls Brewery (which is a fantastic brewery) It’s also what was given to me by the host of the party. So I didn’t think twice.

[Giles]

It's a jar, not a glass imo….

[Seul]

Yeah I never got that either…

[Matty123]

I agree. Must be a yank thing. Mason jars used for moonshine and bootlegging. Part of
Our heritage I suppose. I don’t get Christmas pudding or vinegar on fried fish. But every expat here has a tin of that Christmas pudding in the pantry.

And that jar doesn’t function as so. It didn’t come
With a top and the threading is just decor. So nostalgia must be the reason

Last night. Delicious. It said Chocolate Martini imperial Stout in the label and by Salah that’s what it tasted of.

BBA version - reconkilously good…

[Seul]

Hill Farmstead x Siren… Citrus-y and delicious...

[Seul]

Warm innit.

[neph93]

You sir, are a beast.

43 beers (only the IPAs are shown in the pic btw) - 25 for me, 18 for me mate…

But: only had 2 of 25 before... So loads and loads of new stuff... And thàt, thàt excites me 

[Matty123]

@Seul  you seem to keep the belly off despite the beer. That genetics or some sort of exercise?

[Seul]

Gained 4 kilograms that I wanna get rid off before July… Other than that: working hard and eating healthy usually does it for me...

Cheers to my Belgian brother 

[neph93]

Is your dog Belgian?

Great beer though.

I'm not much of a cider connoisseur but this was a pretty amazing cider from Switzerland that we were recommended:

It was unlike anything I've had before.  My wife and I enjoyed this at the Downstairs bar at the Esquire in San Antonio.  It's definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in San Antonio.

Is it dry? Those are the ones I like. Those and the sharp / funky (e.g. Basque) ones.

Doing a no alcohol thing and when I come back ciders may replace a portion of the beer diet, so planning ahead.

[Clint_D]

Yeah, it was fairly dry, semi-sweet with a very unique flavor.  My palate isn't refined enough to pick out many notes but this stuff was pretty magical.  I'd say it was more reminiscent of a sparkling wine than any cider that I've ever had.

Cool I'll look for it. Cheers!

I'm hooked, I've got some feelers out trying to find a retailer near me that can get some.
