What's your favorite Beer?

[Jett129]

How was it? Never seen a Japanese stout before.

Good actually, light bodied for a stout, low carbonation, just a touch bitter, very chocolatey. Could easily have drank one or two more. Wouldn’t stand up next to a chewy flavor-smash stout, but a very good choice with sushi. Mostly chose it because I like dark beer and likewise had never seen a Japanese stout before. Glad I did.

[Jett129]

Thanks for the reply. Definitely keep my eye out for it.

Not bad. I prefer their Juicy Banger "single" IPA, but it is impressive that this 9%+ ABV beer as smooth as it is and malt is represented.

So dry… So much oak...

Beer festival yesterday. This Cherry barrel aged sour from Stamm Brewing in Russia was the stand out for me. 80 plus breweries. Also got to try FO from Bottle Logic for the first time.

[Sage954]

Don't sleep on this one. Easy to find and 12$ for a six pack of 16oz. cans.

"How's the weather?.."
"THIRSTY."

Shared with me dad…

Ok Eli, what is your favorite beer. I’ll make it easier. Your “desert island” 3. Because it’s too hard to pick one I think.

[Seul]

It's not possible to pick three. I might do a top twenty, maybe, but not a top three.

PS: I'm not doing a top twenty.

[Seul]

And if I ever get stuck on a tropical island, I'll just drown myself within 24 hours because of the heat.

That being said: summer beer top three… Only for you, and only because you're suffering from vertigo...

1. Saison Dupont
2. Girardin Black Label Old Gueuze
3. Verdant Maybe One More PSI DIPA

[Matty123]

Thanks bud. I love the first two you picked. I haven’t had any Verdant yet, but there’s always time. So weather plays a role in your choice… smart.

[Seul]

Huge part… Weather's everything...

But that being said, my all around favourite beer would still be Saison Dupont... Price vs. quality easily #1...

[Seul]

My last 2010… Absolutely beautiful... If budget allows it, I'll be stacking up on the new vintage this year...

[Sage954]

That's a strong endorsement. I'm going to get some Saison Dupont.
Drinking this now. Offshoot is a newish project by The Bruery. It's the label they use for their hoppy beers. Really solid beer.

Anyone do a 'Beer club' subscription offered by the likes of Honest brew and Beer Merchants?

[Giles]

Yes….Honest Brew.

It’s been a while, mostly because I’ve been recycling inexpensive classics as opposed to new, exciting and expensive.

This is somewhere in between and was rather good:

[Matty123]

you added a couple drops of boot oil to that beer didn’t you?
