What's your favorite Beer?

@Clint_D:

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.

Is your dog Belgian?

Great beer though.

Dog is Romanian, the beer was sent by “Ze Belgian”

You're welcome, btw… Canned San Diego version was better than €uro version imo...

Has to be the darkest beer I’ve ever seen. Did you like it?

[Morose_Penguin]

It’s very nice. I get really upset that bars seem to think that as soon as the weather gets warmer no one wants to drink stout.

Trying to stop myself from decanting the other 2/3 of a pint.

I drink stouts and porters all year long,and look forward to this time of year as my local liquor stores put all their leftover stouts and porters on sale to make way for Spring/Summer seasonals.

Never averse to a Joy Division reference with my beer. This was great. Sticky, sweet, floral and resinous.

[neph93]

Fully expected this to be shite. It really isn’t. Do share with a friend though.

Damn, 16% ABV?  :o
