What's your favorite Beer?

Finally reached my point of annoyance with the Jester King release hype.
Tried getting a couple of bottles of Atrial Rubicite this morning and by the time I got there the line was already maxed out for today's allocation.
It's a good beer but it ain't worth that kind of wait.
Just glad I already managed to get two bottles anyways. -

Glad you found the place. I'm overdue for a trip there myself. Hope you had a nice trip up north!

@Seul , do people in Belgium geek out over beer releases like us Americans seem to?
That line today was where I draw the line with Jester King, no beer is worth being out there at 7 or 8 in the morning when a place opens as noon…
I grabbed a 4 pack of Funkwerks Nelson Sauvin tonight, really impressed with it. Probably will all get drank tonight at this rate.

I gave up on Side Project releases a year ago, it's out of control. My brother still goes to some of them so I still get to sample what he gets, but damn. It's not a Led Zeppelin reunion.

Tree House is like that a lot of the time. I just assume I'll be standing in a line for hours on any given day even if there is no special release. They do move quick though once they open.

Maybe for the geuzes… I don't visit breweries, so I'm not entirely sure... If I had a car I would be that guy though…
In general, though, there never is much hype or a fuss over a release... It's usually well distributed within Belgium, so there's no need to pick it up at the breweries... I think us Belgians would find it arrogant if a brewery made a release only available at the brewery...
And one last edit: if a release was to cost say more than 15 €/ bottle here, a LOT of people would deem that arrogant as well... I read about that 40$/ bottle (was it Jester King?) release, well, there certainly wouldn't be a queue for that here

I think the most expensive JK beer I've seen at the brewery is 20 USD for the smaller bottles that their sours come in.
I wish I didn't have to make it to the brewery to buy most of their stuff, and I think Atrial gets the biggest line.
Their new coolship beer will surely have an insane line I'm sure… -
Good news for anyone who happens to have any 2015 BCBS regulars or Proprietors left

I had 9 in the cellar all within the date range. Sent the info in today. I paid about 9 bucks each for them. We shall see.

Those go down quick. Fun change of pace summertime beer.

From the sessionable to the… uh, non-sessionable. Nøgne's all-day IPA is really very good for bbq's, footie and so on at 4.5 ABV. Lots of good hoppiness, balanced citrus and biscuit. Bit heavy on the carbonisation but that goes with the territory:
I like most of what Midtfyns do. Rarely spectacular but always solid. This Barley Wine at 10 ABV is on the sweeter side but delicious for that:
