posh beers and ales and stuff thread

The monks brew is absolutely stunning (sometimes called Monk's elixir too, I've had several bottles of each and they're identical).

Let me know how the George stout is!

bought this on a whim among my usual PBR 12 packs and seasonal winter ales, really dug it

Easy night in tonight, not feeling so great. Two porters plus two relatively strong ales (nothing like those bloody Belgian beers spiral is drinking), asking for a hangover on top of this lingering cold. Oh well, 2015, YOLO.

Noice!

Heh, ended up only drinking the Zodiac IPA then we both switched to wine.

Looks like it's gonna be a boozy new years day!

i've always been a big fan of Chimay, and i recently found this in my local bottle king, the Chimay Doree, which is usually reserved for the monks themselves and visitors to the abbey and local inn:

My No. 1 beer of all time, i stumbled upon Joker about a year ago and had to accept the fact i'd spent years in the wilderness drinking tasteless pisswater. It's a taste sensation and you need to get this beer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Isnt that 7%? Cripes............not supped any booze for ages

Although you'd usually find this in CAMRA supporting pubs, it is nectar of the most delicious kind (considering the high alcohol content):

dodgy 80's metal album cover themed indeed

and if you saw this on tap you'd have to try a pint:

keeping it 100 with this poshness

Expensive as hell, but so so good.

Killed an Angry Orchard Summer Variety 12 Pack this weekend. The ginseng brew tastes like sushi to me, lol

Yes indeedly doodly, one of my favourite stouts.

ergh... I just took inventory of all the beer I have . I guess I'm set for awhile... I didn't realize I was hoarding this much.

The ones in orange are in the fridge, we're going to work on them today.

Anyone else have a hoarding problem with beer or wine?

Anyone wanna come over and help me with these? haha

I've never tried this. It's on my radar now though, looking to see if I can order it from zyn.

yeah Oakham ales are good

though avoid the Inferno, got that lychee/grapefruit/tropical fruit/flower thing going on

and that shit for beerwolf is like garlic to a vampire, eeeerrgghhhhh. ordered a pint the other day had 3 sips (just to make sure) and watered a hanging basket of flowers with it. can't stand beer tasting like some big fruity basket of....er fruit.

Anyone here tried Ballast Point's Sculpin or Grapefruit Sculpin? They're my current favorite brews.

Yeah, the standard Sculpin is my general go-to IPA now. Grapefruit one is very good too, nice for summer days especially.

Just bought an 18pack rolling rock for 7.64

Perlenbacher can 500ml from Lidl. 75p a can. Mass produced lager that tastes as insipid and ordinary as you would expect though perfect for sitting off in a session.

Had a gorgeous farmhouse ipa from Breakside yesterday. Can't wait to go to Portland and drink a metric shit ton of great beers.

found an amazing farm shop in my new town selling top quality local produce - veg, meats, cheeses etc and they also had a great selection of beers from small independent breweries...i picked up these 4 which i shall be sampling later

i've been working my way through trying all of the Trappist beers and, oh my god, is Rochefort sublime
