What's your favorite Beer?

You are correct, sir. Bar food, but it's actually not half bad– at least when I used to go.

My recommendation is to get drunk at Stone, eat enough food to hold you over, and then go have dinner at Tango. It's a little gem of a restaurant in Escondido.

Thanks for the offer mclain, much appreciated, but I'll actually be trying some of the GF stuff soon.  Got a tasting coming up at my local store.  Looking forward to trying it…

I've heard awesome things about Stone's brewery.  I'd love to get out there at some point...

Enjoy it mate!.. Tonight I will be using that glass as well… But for a Rodenbach Vin de Céréale 2004...  ::)

[Seul]

But first… Hoegaarden Grand Cru... I did not have high expectations of it, and it defo wasn't on any priority list, but I thought to myself "Seul, don't be so closeminded, you eejit!.. Come on!.. Grab a bottle!.. ATTA BOY!.." And hey: it's not bad at all!.. Nothing crazy, but a solid beer!..

Monk's Ale, brewed in Abiquiu, NM: New Mexico's version of a Belgian Trappist Brewery

Sick glass, Adam!.. And very nice, Rafa!.. 

Yesterday I had the Vin de Céréale 2004. It was borderline between expired and drinkable… Too bad!..

I have discovered Brewdog Manchester :). I could leave here broke and paralytic…

[Seul]

If I recall so correctly, Geers has Brewdog urm… brews. Which one should I try bearing in mind I prefer mildly sweet, very strong dark ales...

And their take on a Belgian Wit Ale:

[mclaincausey]

Epic Hopulent Nitro 9%abv. Awesome.

It was actually more of a straw color terrible photo.

St. Bernardus Abt 12 10%abv. Even awesomer

Rodenbach GC need sourness. Yummy.

Chouffe Hublon back to the hops. Well done Belgium.

Stone R&R Coconut IPA

@Seul:

7.2%?.. That the best you got?.. 

That was the strongest dark they had on draft. The strongest beer ever brewed was released by Brewdog a few years ago… 'The End of History', 50% ABV, sadly I never got round to picking a bottle up :(.

If you can get to a Brewdog bar, it's well worth it. It won't be a cheap experience but you will find something you enjoy.

McKleine: drinking Grand Cru out of a La Trappe glass?.. Excellent!.. You should post more ITT mate!!!

Me?.. I scored an older Rodenbach GC glass this morning at the fleemarket for 0.5 €… Decided it was time to finally open my Vintage 2010... Fans of sour, complex beer, TAKE HEED!.. This is spectacularly good!!!
