What's your favorite Beer?

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.

@Seul , do people in Belgium geek out over beer releases like us Americans seem to?
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:
-
And to finish off, some class A nuttiness from Nogne with a twist of luck. If you don't know what Aquavit is then google it. Suffice to say this has after taste for days,no surprise as it's been sat on the shelf in the town I'm visiting for 2 (!) years already. Thank the gods for ignorant rednecks. Just brilliant:

Went out to JK this evening to grab a bottle of the new Evil Twin collaboration called Even More Jeppe.
Really tasty, they set out to make a beer inspired by New Zealand sauvignon blanc without using any grapes (similar to what they did with the first Evil Twin collab World's Worst Twin).
Almost no line, really relaxed vibe for this release. Thank god. Had two pours, sat in the sun. Nice Friday evening in the Texas hill country!

^Yeah I figured that'un needed some rest…
Meanwhile, in Belgium...
@FOXY you sweet devil!.. This is spectacularly good… So much more complex and smooth than the OG'un... Have a feeling I'll be ordering, and drinking, a lot of these a/w 2k16...
Glad you like them!
Ordered a bunch for myself around the time I ordered yours - only my package has been reported as damaged and getting fixed, 3 weeks later and I'm still waiting for the package to show up…
Might just order another box for keeping - Winter is coming!
