What's your favorite Beer?
-
Thornbridge, great brewery based fairly close to me. And yet their beer has only just become available to buy in my local supermarket. Mind you it did take almost 2 years to get Tatton brewery in and that is literally just down the road…

I just watched that whole thing and it was brilliant, thanks Seul

You will be happy to know, Mega, that I've added the Iron Heart. of gueuzes to your box…
Holy Hell :o

No Pannepot!.. DAMN IT!.. But nice stuff anyway… 27 beers (3 big bottles) for 61.45 €...
Some more pics of Geers (finally brought me camera). This is how Geers work: they stock a couple of the shelves, and you're supposed to take the bottles out of the cases stacked beneath the beer. It helps if eg. you can distuinguish a carton of Cantillon and espécially if you know that they stamp what's in it on the box (eg. Oude Kriek, Geuze,…). This saves time
On my left: a whole isle for Lambic beers…
Recognise these?..
Took a snap to do my homework with…
Maybe I should give the Dochter van de Korenaar brewery a second chance?..
-
I could literally live there
-
Seul, are these prices ridiculous?

Thinking of putting in a £100 order with my bonus next week.

Also, whats the good word on optimum beer storage temperature and bottle positioning?
Is this a reliable guide?
-
Seul, a little help with the questions above dude? Might order today.
-
I didn't see that before, Gav, suz. Lemme have a look.
Rochefort: only get the 10. It's kinda ok price-wise I guess?.. They cost 2.2 € here. 2.85 for a Westmalle Tripel is steep cause they cost 1.3 € here. As for the Cantillon: have you drank geuze before?.. Perhaps wait til you've tried the one I will send you?..
In short, if you order, get these:
- ROCHEFORT 10
- WESTMALLE TRIPEL
- CANTILLON GEUZE BIO 75 CL
- CANTILLON CUVEE ST GILLOISE
About storing:
- got a cellar?..
- a dark storage room perhaps with preferably a constant temperature, and preferably cold?..
I' not reading that whole effin manifest, but in short:
- anything with a champagne cork => store flat (cork gets wet, expands, no oxidation in the bottle, only risk is getting a "corked" bottle)…
- anything with a regular cap: store vertically...
- if you wanna drink a bottle you've stored horizontally, let it rest vertically for at least 48 hours.
-
Thank you mate

If I were you, I'd order from http://www.bieresgourmet.be/catalog/
Even with shipping it might be cheaper…
As for stacking, here's a pic:
Saisons in the door (saisons are not bottles you store, so they're in the fridge to be had within a month or so), geuzes, other lambics and old brown beers with a champagne cork stored horizontally, everything else is standing...
As for the soy milk in the door: I'm not sure how to store that… :-\
-
Woah - what a haul!.. Big spender!.. Even I haven't bought the Deus Brut de Flandres before. Are you knowledgeable about champagnes?.. Would be great to have a nice review!..
Goudenband and Rodenbach Grand Cru: best old browns I've had to date…
Westmalle double: not a fan, but then I'm not a fan of doubles... They're too bloody light!..
