A friendly place for friends who drink

[iijakii]

There's an OR brewery that makes a pale ale with coffee called Java The Hop. It's pretty good and interesting when it's fresh from the fridge, but once it warms up at all it's just pure overpowering coffee. I'll drink a can, but it's not exactly a 6er beer.

I'm not getting in until Friday morning, but I've had a crapton of JK beers anyway (I'm actually going to a JK event the Wednesday night at the Avenue in NOLA).

.

I wasn't sure when you were getting into town. JK is great, but I was more interested in the Belgian breweries. Plus, Saint Somewhere kegs are usually fun, maybe they will have Cheval, made with 20% horse feed.

Nerd fact: Saint Somewhere carbonates their kegs with Brett.

Hucklebear: To bear one's casket. Was misquoted as 'huckleberry' in the Tombstone movie. Meaning was I'm the man who will accept your challenge to the death.

Most of them are readily available here, at least on draft. There are several 3F beers that are effectively shelf turds ironically (Oud Kriek and Oud Geueze are surprisingly easy to get usually). The Avenue has me spoiled where Blaugies, De Ranke, De La Senne, and 3F are concerned.

Not surprising at all. I've had Saint Somewhere bottles straining the hell out of the cage and even starting to foam out of the cork.

Having a couple of these.

Mmm.... Still only in the mixed case?

Hrm... Just got a source of the 3F oud geueze. What are they charging for the Geuezr and Kriek in that neck of the woods?

Funny... The last SS I had was undercarbed and sweet as hell. Even after more than a year in bottle.

These. Thanks DC and HawgWilde81!

We aren't so lucky down here, I've only ever seen 1 Cantillon bottle on a shelf here (not really, the beer manager handed it to me), and the only 3F bottle we get regularly is Intense Red. Drafts are even fewer and farther between outside of Zwanze day.

!

The only SS I've ever had that wasn't Bretty as hell was refrigerated it's whole life, and I've had a ton of SS.

 

[banesong]

Green label, sub 20/375. Fluctuates a bit.


The JK was interesting. The very slightest pepper character.

It was sitting in my cellar for a year. Not refrigerated. Was damn near a drain pour. Almost not carbed either.

In the $10-15 range retail. Bar prices in the link below.

Cantillon is much harder to find shelf these days (although I'm taking wifey to a Cantillon cheese pairing tomorrow at Corporate). There used to be a store in Covington that it would sit, but that secret has long gone. These are my two favorite spots.

Literally the same way I got all the beers except for the Ghost that I've drank today. Same guy that did the playoffs/Super Bowl BiF messaged me and asked if I wanted some. Me, him, and a guy in Tampa have a beer triangle going for all sorts of things.

Let him know they had cases of the stuff from today's release sitting on the floor as of six seconds ago. Maybe 100 cases lefy, probably less, also they had so limited bottles at the bar, too. Flemish sour concrete pillow, etc

Damn Skippy. I'm a lucky guy. She knows it, I know it, the guy whose arm I broke not so long ago know it.
