Oh wait no: I'm not sending you one, I'm sending M_P one… I only bought two... Screw you, get your own damn beer!..

Isn't this good news for you?.. Make me lists of beers you want, it's even cheaper SHIPPED than you driving out to Newark and buying 'm there…

True and it saves me (Pam) petrol too

Weird question here…
I hope it's understandable!

Is Geuze pronounced like Gooze, or Gerze?

Thanks!

JamesMarg

Oh, and also!
It is okay to lay beers down instead of upright in the fridge?

@JamesMarg:

Like Gerze, but without the R… You'll never get it right, though, cause you lot don't use the "Soft G"...

@JamesMarg:

Aaah the good ole "up or down" question… For me, it's quite simple...

anything with a cork = horizontal... Cork gets wet, expands, no air in the bottle = perfect for storing. If you wanna drink the bottle, you can either store it vertically for a couple of days before opening it, or when dealing with 37.5 cls bottles (geuze) you can just pour slowly and make sure the residue stays in the belly.
anything with a regular cap = vertical/ upright.

Seul

Geuzes on the top and bottom shelf, saisons for "immediate" consumption in the door. They're not made to store for very long, and there's no chance of the cork drying out in my fridge, so they're kept vertically…

How do you follow Seul in this thread?

Stone "Enjoy by 12.13.13" IPA. It's a good one. Apricot, citrus…

Seul

Mmmm that looks good

JamesMarg

Thanks Seul!!

Seul

And what do we have here!.. Verrrry nice little X-Mas beer

Speaking of St Feuillien, is this a "thing" everywhere? This is the first year that I've seen these massive bottles being sold all over town. The 9L was the biggest I've seen yet. I've noticed Stone brewery putting out large format beers as well.

Seul

1.5 and 3 l bottles sure, haven't really seen any 9ls though… Good luck pouring from that as well...

Tomorrow morning I'm visiting my local beerstore... Local, as in "Two minute drive"... Expensive and not that good a selection but I'd be surprised if they didn't have the Delirium Christmas and that's what Im after

Clint_D

I actually went home empty handed that day. I'm all for novelty but I just can't bring myself to spend $260 on a ridiculously oversized beer.

JamesMarg

Rogue Mocha Porter tonight.
Nice beer, but very light, not what i expected from a porter!

I found some Delirium Christmas at my local Carrefour yesterday, shouldn't be that hard to find I guess(?) … Anyway, gonna have a sip tonight, how does it taste?

Seul

It's good!..

Rye Triple… This... is... so... fucking... good...

JamesMarg

Stone Ruination IPA
Fekking AWESOME.

Seul

Local store haul was quite disappointing, but very pleased with the Chimay Grande Réserve 2010 nonetheless!..

Oh: and my Etre Gourmet order came in…

tmg

First order from Brew Dog

Ostensibly these are for Christmas, but I suspect I may need some 'sampling' sessions between now and then
