        Glad you got some Jester King Giles, you've got to make it down to the brewery here in Austin sometime!
        Talk about an unexpected haul, this just happened today at the grocery store.

        Haven't had the Fresh Squeezed IPA from Deschutes, but I've heard good stuff.
        I thought that the Prairie Apple Brandy Noir had been sold out here, but I grabbed the last two bottles. Same goes for the Bomb!, so I'm glad I came across a few more bottles.
        Had no idea we got Orval here, so I picked up two bottles along with the Grand Reserve to give some Belgian beer a shot. I blame you Seul!

            I think I read a few pages back that I shouldn't drink the Orval cold, correct?

                Glad you liked the Noble King, Giles.  I still haven't unpacked my beer yet.  Happily, it all made it safely back to Houston.

                    Also a powerful indicator that popularity is no guarantee of quality.

                        Did you try Bintang in Indonesia G? That stuff is completely indistinguishable from Heineken….not a good thing.

                          Funny you mention Bintang, wearing this today…

                          Cheaper than water most of the time over there, and not a terrible beach beer.
                          Or maybe it's just my fond memories (or lack there of) I have associated with it when I lived in SE Asia.

                            The fact that Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita is the 20th most popular beer in America has to be a sign of the Apocalypse.

                                Chins up lads, that's not that bad if you think in terms of the big picture. Craft beer is positively exploding. The general public has always quaffed bullshit. Bartles & James wine coolers, Boone's Farm "wine," whatever the fuck Zima was. More quality beer from small and medium sized breweries is being drunk than ever before.

                                Also: more for us.

                                To wit:

                                This imperial stout, aged wildly in oak in southern Illinois, and served at 55F. Reminds me of a really bright coffee infused with sour cherries and a hint of the barn. A pronounced alcoholic burn (10% ABV) makes me wish it were chillier outside. A big beer that insists I linger. An outstanding sour ale er stout. I'm anxious to try their noted framboise lambic now.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Good god… Not even a tolerable beer in the entire top 20. 90% of Americans are idiots.

                                    Just a few really great beers tonight, in this order:



                                    Can't say I was disappointed by any of these, all very good in their own right!

                                        DIP(sour)A. Extremely sour and extremely bitter at 150 IBU. The sour and tart notes somehow work together with the extreme bitterness. Like an apricot, a lemon, and a grapefruit having a menage a tois in a pile of yeast. This is an interesting beer and eminently quaffable despite its size. Really love it.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          This sounds amazing. I will be scouring the city of St. Louis tomorrow for this. But for tonight:

                                          Sainte Adairius Cask 200. Very nicely balanced sour. Delicious
