@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.

(Guess why this beer was named SCALDIS for the int'l market G…)

I wish I could visit Belgium, sit down at a bar, and stay for a week…

Fuck me this Bush is good… Marzipan heaven... Very boozy though... At 12%, that's not a surprise, right... I told myself "Seul - you're gonna drink 20 cls of this and pour the rest away, you've got work tomorrow!.."

Seul vs Seul: 1-0... Not enough left of it to get a ladybug drunk... This means no red wine today for Seul though

The beers I like best are the hardest to find, and not served in bars here…  :-\

[tmg]

But it wouldn't be a wasted effort….bound to find some worth drinking?

My kind of trip though

Way to shit on my hypothetical dream scenario, brah.

Hey you could always stick to Rochefort, Westmalle, Orval, Chimay… Most bars do serve those

I can stay home and do that!

I should stay home and do that!

Do you also pay 3.5 at a bar for 'm?.. Or 1.2 € for eg. the Westmalle Tripel at a store?.. 

[mclaincausey]

I have no idea.  Probably from $5-12 at a bar, I so rarely buy beer now I can't say.  And I didn't look at my tab the other night.  BTW, I measurably put weight on from that series of indiscretions (which also included short rib gravy poutines).

An Aussie runs a neat little boutique here : http://thefourfirkins.com/beer/

Went there yesterday looking for Sammy Smith cider, which has eluded me for the past week.

They're spendy, but a well-curated collection and they get interesting beers there all the time beyond the normal stock.  Any winners in there Seul?

Starting off tonight with:

Robinson's Old Tom blended with Fentiman's Ginger beer.
