What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

I don't even know what an English curry is… If it's spicy, stick to English beer 

I always have beer as an apéritive, IF I have any food with it, it's mostly cheese...

[Megatron1505]

Excellent, I'll stick to crap lager and wine then 

[Seul]

Did ya like the Goudenband?..

[Megatron1505]

It was fucking phenomenal, preferred it to the La Trappe to be honest.

[Seul]

Not a fan of the sweeter stuff, ey?.. Good to know… 

[Seul]

Dear Lord… They obviously had some massive re-stocks @Geers... And the first X-Mas ales have been bought...

[Megatron1505]

If you need extra fridge space I can help.

[Chris]

I can see Seul doing this.

A man's gotta have priorities, am I right?

[Seul]

Yesterday, my mate came over to have diner w/ a side of GTA V…

Pre-apéritive... Me: Tilquin geuze. Him: Cantillon geuze. First time I had the Tilquin, massively good geuze!..

Later on… Him and me: Sint-Amatus Oostvleteren 12... Brother in the back is having a Westmalle tripel.

How do you feel about stouts Seul?

I have been into them a lot recently especially these few.
1. North Coast Old Rasputin
2. Nogne O Stout
3. Sail and Anchor 'Jack Tar' (Aussie)
4. And founders breakfast stout (Theeeeeee best)

Also wondering if anybody has tried North Coast 'Old Stock Ale' (Vintage 2012) phenomenal beer.

Having this one tonight normally

Gave four bottles of Gouden Carolus Cuvée van de Keizer blue 2013 to my mate who's gonna be keeping them in his cellar… Excellent...

Another mate contacted me about going to Geers... Might be going on Saturday... I just visited yesterday but what the hey, it'll be his first time and I reckon he could do with some advice (read: I'm spending his money)...

[Seul]

I was wrong, I'm having this… Heaven & Hell - 12%. No carbo, black as hell; but doesn't do it for me... But it's too good to stop drinking it... What's going on 

[JamesMarg]

Awesome,
I love a good stout!

[Morose_Penguin]

Decided I felt like  having a beer tonight. Unfortunately I didn't buy any more from work

^ This is the weakest I have in at the moment… 8% ABV. Oh well, day off tomorrow

[JamesMarg]

I'm sure the strongest is the TNP?
Doesnt it sit around 40-50%?

[Megatron1505]

32% I believe.

[Morose_Penguin]

Tactical Nuclear Penguin is 32% ABV

The strongest I have at the moment is 'Sink the Bismark' that's 41% ABV. Which Brewdog released in response to a German brewery releasing a stronger beer than the TNP.

There are rumours floating around that a brewery somewhere is trying to create a 60% ABV beer. Not sure which brewery, or how true the rumour is…

EDIT:

Mega got there first...

[Chris]

67%; Snake Venom, from Brewmeister.
Yikes- 114 proof beer…

EDIT: Oops, I can't do math.  That should be 134 proof.

[JamesMarg]

Wow!
Anybody got experience tasting these beers?
I would like to buy one… but the fact that you have to drink it all in one go puts me off a little.

[Morose_Penguin]

As far as the Brewdog stuff goes… I've tried the TNP. When I bought the TNP and the STB, they both came with stoppers... and the TNP doesn't have a best before end date :). It's highly recommended that you treat the stupidly high strength beers as you would a whisky or similar spirit... Sip and savour, rather than swig...
