@ Gaz: Chimay Blue is gd amazing, prly one of my 5 most favorite beers I've tried. The DFH Black and Blue sounds awesome and way up my alley. Eyes will be on the lookout.

Orgazmo · 03-20-2011, 11:20 PM

You should have no trouble finding it, as it is plentiful around here, even though DFH has decided to stop servicing my state. Fucking assholes.

It's been in my fridge for a month or so along with another fruity beer they offer, an 18% beast that holds the claim as the "highest abv fruit beer created". I'll save that one for another day.

Fruitacious B · 03-22-2011, 09:53 PM

Went to a place called Lil' Charlies today, it's about 20 minutes from where I live, and has only been making their own beer for going on two years now. It was pretty decent, but I was disappointed at their lack of seasonal or specialty brews (the employee was not very well informed on what was being made or coming out soon). All in all, it was a pretty decent place. I did a sampler of the five beers they had available, the two best being the Father Franz’ Heféweizen and Bull Ram Bock, with the Bock easily being the champ.

Good place, good food. Not necessarily anything that would stand out as the best I've ever had, but by no means the worse, and considering its close proximity to me. I'll probably be getting my growler filled pretty often.

Fruit, I didn't know until now that you don't live in Warsaw.

Fruitacious B · 03-23-2011, 10:59 AM

I did live in Warsaw for about 6 months last year, but aside from that I've been in the greater Cincinnati/Southeast Indiana area for nearly 4 years. The only thing that's better down here is the terrain.

angry pancake · 03-23-2011, 01:27 PM

speaking of chimay blue. what a coincidence. i'm having lunch at the flying saucer and my new bestest bud, I'll call him Kojak, decides to buy a big ass 3 liter bottle of chimay blue. And he shares. Pics to follow.

Ugly Bastard · 03-23-2011, 03:48 PM

Aren't those bottles like $100+?

angry pancake · 03-23-2011, 03:55 PM

I dunno know. But I got for glasses out of it.

Orgazmo · 03-23-2011, 06:07 PM

3 liters = 6.3 pints. Sort of lower than I would have thought.

thekremlin · 04-09-2011, 10:50 AM

Just bought a bottle of this little gem:

This bad boy is 18.2% abv beer. Fucking ridiculous. You would think that it's just a gimmick and ends up tasting like shit, but I was surprised to find that it's very very good. At 17 pounds for a 12-oz bottle, it's a good thing I only plan on having one tonight.

SittinOnDubsWGW · 04-14-2011, 04:15 AM

Your use of pounds threw me off big time initially. Then it clicked. England, duh.

ninjaface · 09-17-2011, 03:41 PM

Picked up this years version of Southern Tier's Pumking. I have posted about this beer before.

Difference between this year and last? As far as taste goes, not a huge difference. The brewing process likely changed very little. The only discernible difference is this year's ABV is 8.6% as compared to 9% last year.

My previous review still stands. At ~$7 per bottle (1 pt. 6 fl oz or 650 ml), this beer is certainly worth a try.

DJ FC · 09-19-2011, 06:52 AM

I'm going to Munich on Wednesday for my 2nd Oktoberfest. I will be drinking a lot of the following beers:

Paulaner Brewery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hofbräuhaus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hacker-Pschorr Brewery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Löwenbräu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Augustiner Bräu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All of them are phenomenal examples of Bavarian-style lager beer, brewed in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

God damn I'm excited.

Beebs · 09-19-2011, 09:28 AM

Lowenbrau is fairly easily available in the US, it's a good example of the style. Lager isn't my favorite type of beer, but if you want a very good one, LowenBrau is it.

+1

I had a New Zealand lager two nights ago, Steinlager. It was nothing to write home about and completely forgettable.

Orgazmo · 09-23-2011, 07:31 PM

Just found a liquor store with a corner stocked with Rochefort 10. Never had nor seen, but looking forward to giving it a try tomorrow. They did not have pumkping. Assholes.

It gets very hard to find 2 weeks after being released. That is why I bought 9.

thekremlin · 09-24-2011, 10:27 AM

Rochefort is pretty good. Going to Brussels next weekend, last time I was there I hauled a case of rochefort back.

DJ FC · 10-07-2011, 03:43 AM

FC, Kremlin, Sloth, and RobbieK are going to Brussels this weekend. Lots of beer will be consumed.

Ugly Bastard · 10-07-2011, 03:46 AM

Do you drive there?

thekremlin · 10-07-2011, 03:51 AM

Eurostar (train), bro.

By the way, this might be my new favorite beer. It tastes like chocolate and sex. It's Belgian and 10.5% abv. There is a frou-frou french bistro a block from my apartment, and I pop in very often for a beer or three. I don't need to order it anymore, they just bring it to me, and I love that shit.

Orgazmo · 10-07-2011, 08:52 AM

I, too, love Gulden Draak. So much so that I reviewed it earlier in this thread.

I think they put boner pills in it because I always end up with an erection after drinking.

thekremlin · 10-07-2011, 09:01 AM

Whoa. I thought it was just hot french waitresses, but I get a boner too.

Ugly Bastard · 10-07-2011, 01:49 PM

I need to get my paper up and come visit you crazy bastards for a little while. Maybe a couple nights in London during the week and then bail to somewhere in Europe on the weekend.
