Wasn't planning to drink any, but I seem to have a few extra bottles of it that nobody wants to trade me for.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout just came back into my LCBO (Ontario's liquor store), I bought out their stock!! Love this stuff!
FW Double Barrel Ale
Hey, thanks for reminding me I've got some bottles of FW Double DBA stashed away that I had completely forgotten about!
For real, I have a bottle of Wookey that I'm gonna crack when I finish off this can of Hell. :rockin:

Enjoying a Cantillon Gueuze. I lucked out with my local beer store calling me that they put together 4 different Cantillons for me with some cool extra. Worth the price most certainly!
Mine did something similar earlier. When I quoted a post, it included a PM I'd written earlier. Weird.

IS IT OUT YET?!!?!?! Where are you location wise? I've been waiting for this to buy a whole case of it.

ther's a button for "attach my location" and it literally attached where I was with a push-pin. weird. Oh well. Now I know. This Gueuze is phenomenal! IT's very young still so I'm gonna save the other bottles for at least a year before drinking.
Odd! Least we all knew where you were for a minute!
I've heard Cantillion's insanely good, never had it but I'm going to have to seek some out. I'm sort of a newb when it comes to sours, but man are they good!

Remind me in our trade. I'll send you a bottle. I've had some lucky streaks lately and have about 50 too many of these Cantillon bottles. My luck means I should share the wealth.
If I don't share the luck..luck runs out, right?
The Cantillion geueze is indeed pretty good. I have a bottle of 2007 Boon Mariage Parfait in my fridge that is sort of calling my name...
I've had beer that is insanely good, but then you wake up in the morning and clean up and drink coffee and question your reliability. I love radishes by the way. With a sharp dijon.

You, my friend, are too cool! I believe in karma too, so I have something sweet I'll throw in too.
First go 'round with the Wookey! I did try a buddy's pretty spot on clone. I'm increasingly impressed with FW the more I try their beers.
The Corojo wrapped stog melds really well with the spicy rye and floral/citrus hops. Solid beer for sure and one of my favorite smokes!

STOGIES !!! Now I'm hungry.
Okay I decided to hang onto the Mariage Parfait but cracked this one instead. Timmermans Oude Gueuze Lambicus.

Nice on! What vintage?
Very new...bottle date is July 14 this year.
It's got a subtle hint of acetic sour that I would probably not want normally, and a pretty complex Brett character with elements of barnyard, sour, and...I dunno what you'd call it. Maybe metallic? It's not exactly that, but something sort of similar. Overall it's pretty enjoyable, but not the best gueuze I've had.
Actually the best gueuze I've had was probably a homebrew that I judged a couple of weeks ago in a competition, that had been entered as a straight lambic (by mistake, I think). It was better than the commercial example we had...which was a Boon Oude Gueuze I think. EDIT: nope that was a Lindemans Cuvee Rene now that I think about it.

Sweet! I've never had this but bought a bottle in San Francisco last month for $18.99 I think. Same beer and yeah, bottled this summer. I always try to wait a full year before opening Lambic. Gold notes! Thanks!
Metallic (copper?) I get that on some sours. Idk why.
Makes me want to open mine.

I figure a gueuze is good to drink right away usually since it's typically blended to taste at the brewery anyway. Not that I am averse to hanging on to a bottle or two. I am more likely to hang on to a straight lambic like the Cantillion Grand Cru, than I am to their gueuze.

I amNOT an expert but I've had Gueuze dating back 21 years and it really improves with age. It's all personal preference. But I try to keep it a while. Although, I doubt it improves after just one year. So fresh mat be better if its that versus one year. Just my preference though.
With gueuze I have a hard time telling whether aging improves it or not. I mean, obviously it changes over time, but I don't have anything against drinking one at any age. It is essentially already aged a few years by the time you get it. My main issue is that I only have limited space to store beers, and I enjoy them way too much to let them hang around so long without cracking them open.
Magic Hat Heart of Darkness. I can't seem to stay away from seasonal variety packs, this one was on sale at my grocery store today for $14. This tastes just like T-can and Bearcats Midnight Wheaton Beatdown, not bad at all.
I like that one a lot. I got the same thing, it's very hoppy, and I really like the Emerald hops. First thing I thought when I cracked an ER, "I gotta do an IPA with these hops!" Schell's makes some nice beers.
Adam, Weirdboy, I'm inspired.... gonna pick up a Cuvee Rene when I hit the bottle shop in a bit.
Yeah,Ive really liked almost and probably all of Schells beers Ive tried, that one remides me of one of Sierra Nevada's beers sorta. I still have some of the Rauchbier they had(think its retired now) left also which is great.

Was supposed to be in holland to watch my cousin play ball today, weather turned south and missed the game and a subsequent visit to the new holland brewery.

Stone IPA, the old standby. Soon to be followed by a Hopstoopid. I blew 3 kegs this week (my sons first birthday party was 2 weeks ago) so I'm trying to save the last keg of Centennial Blonde until the pipeline is refreshed (5 gallons fermenting, 10 gallons on deck to be brewed the 27th)

And try not to look at the ghetto electric outlet there, but this beer is very different. I can tast the booze in it at 13.2% (biggest beer I think ive had) but really good. Its worth a try if you see it somewhere.
