What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

You'd love Westvleteren XII… I'm trying to score two cases by the end of the year (pciking them up at the abbey), if I manage to do so, I'll send you a bottle... Pinky swear!..

I've been wanting to read that since Michael Jackson waxed poetic on it. Would love to try, and would try to find something similarly rare from here in exchange.

@Seul
So I picked this up the other day because you and others rave about it.  I'm definitely not a beer aficionado, more of a wine guy, but Fred I would give it a go.  I don't have the proper beer glass and have no idea about the right temperature to serve at.  Looking for your expert advice on alternative glass and temperature.

[Seul]

Anything that resembles the OG glass will suffice…

Pour slowly and steadily. Don't pour the leftover yeast residu in the glass (if you pour slowly, you can see the dark residu at the bottom sliding up; stop pouring there). Drink at 12-14C°. Don't eat anything whilst or before tasting. If you like wine, you'll like (this) beer. I wouldn't be able to make a choice between wine or beer…

Oh: and and enjoy... It's one of the best commercial beers out there...

Thanks Seul.  I'll let you know…

Crappy pic (cell bitch), but you get the idea… Dulle Teve (translates to: mad bitch) triple. This is EXTREMELY good...

found another "store" (not as well sorted as the other one though…and a bit more expensive as well!)

[Seul]

Stick to the other shop, Rafa…

Kinda cinnamon heavy, but zero fucks given.  Delicious!

I love angry orchard enjoy!

I have some of that in my fridge right now. Good weather for it too.

Our new retailer from Belgium has come to visit for a couple of days.  He came bearing a gift, I think we'll get on together…....

[Seul]

Only one decent beer in the lot, though (Straffe Hendrik Tripel)…

One of my fav beers, and my fav La Trappe (minus the oak aged verion of this)... Quadrupel, 10%, beautiful red shade to it...

[Giles]

The difference is, if it's wet, I'll probably drink and enjoy…...

Amen to that.

It's weird how most stores will have the blonde Achel, but not the brown one - especially cause the brown is ten times better than the blonde… Even in my store we are only able to order the blonde...

[Finn666]

good to know…will try to check back with the store if they're able to get that one.
the blonde was good, but not the bomb!

Did my first order through the Etre Gourmet webshop (http://www.bieresgourmet.be/catalog/)… I normally am not a fan of beer stores selling Belgian stuff at a mark-up, but here it's legit... Stuff you'd never find otherwise... Great and quick service... He's even done collabs with Cantillon (if I remember correctly)... Need I say more?..

My mate ordered four Black Alberts, and two Westvleteren XIIs... I was tempted to order the Westy, but decided I'd try some cheaper stuff instead... Pannepeut 2009, Pannepot Reserva 2009, Stille Nacht 2012, and one Black Albert.
