posh beers and ales and stuff thread

I think I just might. I've just started enjoying the sours more often, recently. They weren't really my thing before but I'm really getting into them!

Our COOP liquor (of all places) hooks us up with the hard to find beers. I hope I can find some.

Good luck, it's worth it - they're out of stock at the brewery even now - so sad.

 

The new sour from this brewery will apparently be called "Rae" (spelling might be "Ray"?) so you should ask your favourite liquor store to order some in for you ;)

I hope it is Rae and it's the first ever beer named after an autechre track

Expensive as hell, but so so good.

 

Yes indeedly doodly, one of my favourite stouts.

 

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

 

 

My beer friend says these age really well, probably gonna get a pack and save them for winter

 

 

My all-time favorite beer. I own the hoodie. I haven't been drinking much lately but I'd guzzle one of these down any day.

 

I have to say, pretty impressed. Not the biggest stout man but this definitely had some complexity and a nice sort of smokey musk that I have to respect. 

Had at the afterparty in Coventry for the Mogwai gig. Dark Brown like the dark eyes of an egyptian. Slight coffee after taste. Winner!

Any homebrewers in here? Would be keen to set up a swap.

Recently drank: Sierra Nevada Ovila (Belgian Quad with raspberries), and a lot of NZ beer in Wellington for Beervana. Recently had this guy and it was stellar:

Had a Fullers session last weekend. ESB I know is praised around the world, though I've tried it many times I've never ordered a second, its okay. I much prefer

Glad you enjoyed! I buy that one regularly. It's a fair price here ($6.49 for a bottle) especially considering the 9% kick. Unibroue is one of my favorite breweries (and certainly one of the best Canadian micro breweries). 

Trying one of these tonight. Haven't been disappointed by any of their beers but they're a little pricey =/

edit: srry, it's by Le Trou Du Diable, the beer is called L'imperatrice. Barrel aged stout, 10%

^^^  That was one of the best stouts I've ever had.

Nice maltiness, kind of chocolatey. Poured nice, clean/strong alcohol finish. Kind of like a liqueur in a way. Highly recommend it if you can get your hands on it.

Ever since visiting Bavaria and basically consuming beer in the place of water while there - I can't get enough german beer. I can drink it so easily, it's tasty and it's pretty cool to drink beers that are basically the mecca for euro beer origins. 

I used to be a big hop-head. Now when I drink a heavier IPA it's just not appealing. 

MY GOD WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

German beers are bloody fantastic imo. I prefer them to Belgium beers, they may not be as complex but are tasty, yet refreshing and hit 'the spot' much more perfectly.

Is there a reason for abstinence my good fellow?

Deschutes = <3

I love the Fresh Squeezed, also their Hop henge IPA if you can find it. Not readily available these days I don't think.

Strangely, I've had the Hop henge with 3 different abv - 8.9, 10.4, and 10.9. All the bottles appeared identical with the exception of the abv.

been boozing nothing but the local craft beers. this was my pick tonight. she slips down easy i must say. 

Today, Little Creatures Pale Ale

Yesterday, Exmoor Beast porter (6.6%)

^yeah I had that one recently, very nice. Roasty informs me in Oz it's known as a 'wanker beer' :^)

Recent additions:

mmm good choices spi, I've not had the beaverton or the crate beers though. The rest are delish. 

I'm sure the top left one is Mikkeller but I can't remember which one it was. =/  Beer geek breakfast stout maybe?
