What's your favorite Beer?
-
No picture, but I am drinking a Rochefort 10 whilst watching the match, and it is bloody lovely.
-
I like the sweet taste, especially with the slice of orange in the Blue Moon. Goes well with pizza or a burger. Also, they are made locally here in Golden, Colorado!
-
It's a nice beer J, and now widely available in the UK too so easily accessible for me
-
Using the rationale that "it's too large a bottle to fit in the same box as my Brewdog beers" tonight I have liberated my last "souvenir" from London:
Stone, Old Guardian: Oak Smoked 2013 odd year release…
11.4 ABV.
Very nice indeed :).
And regarding my dead bottles, I think I'll just take the labels and the memories
@Mega... You beer snob, you

Why doesn't this surprise me: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/blue-moon-belgian-white-ale/2228/
There's a lot of beer snobbery built into that rating, I think. If it wasn't mass produced and widely available, I bet the score would be 25 points higher. It's really pretty decent beer, and better than virtually anything else brewed in the US on a national/international scale.
-
As far as US beer goes, all I've really tried is what has been available locally (until I found the various Brewdog bars). So: Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Goose Island etc. There are more that I've tried, but I can't recall.
All quite nice, I really like Anchor and some of the Goose Island. Although their "interpretation" of a classic British ale is, I have to say, fucking appalling.
Now this is beer snobbery: I find I like the US beer more when they do there own thing rather than trying to ape other countries style of brewing.
I need to widen my palate, but the problem at the moment (apart from lack of funds) is that the nearest beer shop to me currently is in Leeds. Which is a couple of hours away. The other alternative is buy online, where I'll get hit by postage costs… The dilemma of the drinker :(.

My mistake, I thought you where disparaging Blue Moon for being widely available in the U.K. But on closer inspection, that turns out to be a happy emoticon (and part of me just died inside for typing the "word" emoticon, damn it happened again).
So, to summarise:
Leave me alone!! I'm drunk :P.
Oh, this Old Guardian works fast…
-
At 12%, this is stronger than I've had in a while. Pretty good, especially once I let it warm up a bit.
-
Oh, and this is a quick "Before" pic from my badly in need of reorganization beer fridge.
Really gotta get this thing cleaned up and figure out exactly what's lurking in there.
-
Got a hold of a massive stash of beer today.
Including some 'Stone'
In Australia, or anywhere but certain parts of America, its almost unheard of to get Stone beer, they really like to keep in in the US.
Looking forward to trying it! -
Rochefort 10 tonight.
Fantastic stuff
-
Also having a 'Geuze Boon' … Hmmmm, not sure about this one.
-
Good point.
I had them about 30-60 minutes apart though. -
I've had the first 2 and thought they were both excellent, slightly preferring the Saint Bernardus, not tried the other one.
