What's your favorite Beer?
-
Some local beers shipping out to a few lucky forum members. Mixed bags of four from these varieties. I haven't tried the two leftmost ones.
A saison, a hop bomb, a "grapefruit shandy" (this one is barely a beer but it plays well by the pool or on the boat or in your lady), a hop/malt bomb, and a beer that's between a brown ale and a porter with coffee added to it.

Spoiling myself…
Bush de Noël (Bush Xmas): 12%. Spicy, heavy, fucking awesome. Dubuisson surely is one of my fab breweries.
Rodenbach Grand Cru: best old, brown sour. 6%. Really need to open my Vintage 2010 soon...
Trappistes Rochefort: in my top 3 of heavy, brown beers. Enough said. 11.3%.
Gouden Carolus Tripel: love these, but mainly got them for my brother. 9 %.
Duchesse de Bourgogne: another sour red/ brown. Haven't tried it yet, but read about it on RateBeer. 6.2%.
Liefmans Oud Bruin (Old Brown): perfect when in need of a quick, refreshing beer. 5%.
Cantillon Geuze: quality beer right here. 5%.
Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait: 8%. Amazing geuze made of three year old Lambiek. What's more amazing is it's price: it's cheaper than most regular geuzes… And only slightly more expensive than the regular Boon geuze. Definitely one of my favourite brews.
Liefmans Goudenband: another sour brown. 8%. On the other spectrum of taste and such, but equally as good. I need my brother to start cooking with this stuff...
-
My mate has a cellar in his new house. I've checked it out and marked my territory… In the darkest corner under the stairs... That's my G-spot... Beers I will be saving:
- different kind of geuzes
- Liefmans Goudenband
- Gouden Carolus Cuvée van de keizer Blauw
- several strong brown beers such as Rochefort 10, Westvleteren XII,...
And lots more... Need to start doing my homework on what beers are best for this...

I like Sir Seul, the Swillin' Swine.

Right now the swine is swillin (Chris take notice, you'd love this!):

So I'm going to Geers on Monday with my mate (and his one year old son)… My mate asked me to make a list, as he will blindly follow what I choose simply because our tastes are so similar... He's the best guy to go to Geers with - and best guy all around

TeppistenbierAnd now I gotta look into blond beers as my mate stated he needed some of those... Not really my thing anymore, but will do my best of course!.. This is NOT gonna be a cheap visit I'm afraid
-
Did this last night and lived it.
Oude Geuze Tilquin tonight and I'm excited! -
Finally went to a highly recommended beer shop. It looks like a crappy strip center convenience store, but the selection is really, really good. So I picked up these, a couple of which I shamelessly copied from Seul's earlier haul:
And you're right, Eli- I this one is excellent.

Fucking Timmermans… Why Chris, WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY
What is that Reinaert Wild Ale??? Reinaert's made like 5 miles from me... Glad you liked the Duchesse... The reg Rodenbach is nothing too crazy, but the Grand Cru, well: I really like that'un!.. It's weird how they always seem to sell big bottles of this kinda stuff in the States!..
-
Dean Seul, I think you need to do a list for me
-
Well I'll make you a list anyhow…
I'd get some glasses to start... You need a good Trappistenglass (I would recommend Westmalle), a good snifter (Rodenbach Grand Cru), and a Geuze glass (I see the Tilquin glass is cheapest, but the Cantillon one has that great logo so).

I like the Timmermans. I think the taste varies a lot depending on batch, though. I'm looking forward to the Reinaert and Rodenbach ones. I'll let you know what I think.
