A desperate friend with too much beer.


Honestly, that IS the answer.


Basically $100 in shelf beer was what it took. Nothing special. Right place, right time.

Damn, I figured there couldn't be many left, so, I basically gave up on that one. If you're ever in California with that Alpha Kong in tow; I'll open any or all of my beers for a taste, haha.

Nifty. Never knew about that trick. Thanks for the info!

For future reference, put salt in the paper towel before wrapping the bottle. Should chill even faster.

Traded a DDG batch 2 for both bottles. Keep in mind though it was a trade with a good friend that traveled to Vermont recently and he hooked me up big time since he knew I had been looking for them.

I thought we discussed this at some point in the lambic thread, but I believe the Cuvee Valentine is just a 2007 OGV that happened to be bottled on Valentine's Day. When they realized that they decided to make special labels for it. Bottles exist with the regular label and just a 2/14/2007 bottled date (well, I guess 14/02/2007 because Europeans are jerks), but most of the ones you see have the special label. If there's a difference between it and the other bottling(s?) of 2007 OGV it's subtle and I didn't pick up on it (having them at different times). That said, it's very good, like all OGV.

I mean, wait, it's terrible and don't seek it out. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I had it recently, and honestly, it's pretty bad. I don't even think that's just me, everyone at the tasting thought it was bad. If it costs you very little to get and you want to tick it, then I'd say to go for it, but please don't give up anything good for it.

I usually need things explained to me a few times...

Got a small haul from VT today

I received this box of 12 bottles from a very generous beer advocate from "another" site. I just wanted to try a bottle of Founders Rubaeus, and he sent me this!

Yeah, I had heard that, too. Do still want to tick, but that's part of the reason I haven't been actively seeking it anymore.
