Awww yeah just confirmed with a buddy who works at a bottle shop Tennessee is getting Evil Twin, Stillwater, and possibly Crooked Stave very soon. Yessssssss

[Joe Gress]

Mmmmmm, Crooked Stave is so fucking good!

First day of fall break for me. Time for some morning coffee...

Nice! I just had a Velvet Merlin while playing Clue with my kid and eating chili. That was a pretty good night right there.

It was really good! Perhaps a little bitter (have to get the right time in the press), but once it warmed a little it blended nicely.

[Joe Gress]

So my local best liquor store just added a bunch of new beers. I'm going to be so poor very soon...


Btw, that Evil Twin? Smoothest high abv (12%) imperial stout I think I've ever had. It's like velvet.

I'll be cracking into a Christmas Bomb probably tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. And my friend is in OK for Thanksgiving, he's bringing back a couple regular Bomb for me. So good.

dang, I gotta find a better spot locally to pick up sweet jank like this

Southern tier brewing company 2Xmas the last few days
Very confused on this beer
Can't tell if it supposed to taste like cough syrup or not,
apparently it is brewed like a swedish Glaagg?????????? What???

anyway tried it at fridge temp, then a little warmer, gonna let it get warmer tonight

feel like this is one of those, warmer is better beers

since I think a Glaag is a warm spiced wine,

Went to Nikki's in Providence today and got this haul. The Duchesse de Bourgogne almost made me do a backflip, because it's one of my top 3 beers on earth and hadn't seen it in a store in about 2 years. The Uerige is another one of my personal top 10. The BCBS is a vintage bottle from 2012.

Ever tried Liefmans Goudenband?
I think you might like that one as well since it's similar to Duchesse and it's amongst my most favourite standard Belgian beers:
Gouden Carolus Classic, Karmeliet Tripel, Liefmans Goudenband, Scheldebrouwerij Strandgaper, Urthel Saisonniere

[bigchiefbc]

Nope, never seen one over here. Do you know if they export it to the US?

[Tristan]

Apparently they do:

Excellent, looks like they have it at Natty Greene's, which is the next town over from me. I'll go hunt for it. Thanks for the heads up!

[Tristan]

You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it!
If you see any of the others I mentioned I can wholeheartedly recommend them although they're all a completely different style.
