What's your favorite beer, /ck/? Mine is Chimay

I tip my trilby to you, good sir! You see, I only drink Belgian ales as well. In particular, the sours from the Flanders region are quite nice. It truly takes a mature palate like you and I good gentlesirs surely have to appreciate such a fine brew.

Unless you're English and used a time machine to get back to the early 90's this is just sad. Do you still listen to hair metal and wear spandex as well?

I love Duvel

Oskar Blues G'Knight was spectacular too

I had Breakfast Stout from Founder's and it was superb as well, but the other bottles in the pack then had his overwhelming astringent bitterness or metallic flavor, I might've kept a couple of them too warm and another too cold, but it was really disappointing after how amazing the first bottle was

Haven't had too much of the finer stuff, but I'm definitely on the hunt

i love weihenstephaner vitus.

they sell that same bottle in singles at the local ABC for 2.99 and at 7% it gets the job done. Taste great as well.

My favorites are Oskar Blues Ten Fiddy and Sixpoint Resin

After reading your post I decided to drink that one first. Damn this is good beer

>> No.6699986

I've taken a liking to Duvel. It's so delicious.

My usual go-to is Rothaus Tannenzäpfle, but it's more of a matter of local pride.

I also have developed a nostalgic craving for Turbinenbräu, particularly their "Rodler" winter brew, but it's fucking impossible to find here.

I haven't tried the weihenstephaner vitus but so far I think my favorite is a dunkel weizenbock by Erdinger. What a nice beer that one was. Almost like a nutty brown ale yet with even more lovely malt flavors.

>> No.6700298

The first three look pretty tasty, but Rauchbier is just nasty. Do you want to drink beer that was used for bongwater? What kind of positive outcome are you hoping for?

I have no idea, I just bought some stuff that looked good. I hadn't seen the two weihenstephaners before and just picked up the others to try something new

is it not any good?

>> No.6700310

Well, personally I think it's shit, but I guess I'd also say it's something everyone should try once.

Don't be afraid to buy a beer just because of what some guy on the internet thinks.

>> No.6700395

>>6700345
I really like the funky yeasty flavors and that it's is always slightly different every time. It really is one that should be held onto for a year or 2 before drinking. I have a few in my collection that are pushing 3 and 4 yrs now. But unlike many brews that strive for a consistent flavor profile it is a beer that is only as good as the harvests were for that batch of ingredients. But I also like gruit beers too. Maybe it's more that I'm tired of shitty overly hopped ipas. I'll drink most any beer atleast once but I always like to treat myself to an orval. A pub not too far from me has cases and they don't sell anything under 1.5 yrs old. But they know I like the older stuff so I typically get 3 to 4 yr old if they have it

That`s some pretty sweet beers u got there OP. Dont belive what they are saying. Rauchbier is pretty good but i woul consider it a beer for the winter. Lovelt with some grilled sausages or other hearty meal. And the rauchbier u have is one of the finest. Abt 12 really is amazing and everything wighenstepahner touches is Gold. Irecommend being on the lookout for anything from Schneider Weisse their whole tap [insert number] series is amazing.

some of the grocery stores here will card anyone you're with (except kids) if you buy beer. My fiancee never seems to carry her wallet, and even though she's 22, she could pass for 18, so I always have to (politely) ask her to wait at the door while I buy the groceries. She really hates that though...
