favorite beers

[TheOriginalFlashDavo]

Though at the moment:

[wouter999]

Delirium Tremens - heavy triple fermented Belgian beer


Moeder Overste - Belgian amber ale, double fermented


Hoegaarden Grand Cru


Tripel Karmeliet, with possibly the most gorgeous beer glass available


Aventinus - four of these will get any beast incredibly drunk (11.5% alcohol volume I think)


Those are my favourite special beers, they're pretty much all Belgian I think. Belgians rule. When it comes to pilsener, I'm quite fond of Grolsch and Brand Urtyp Pilsener.

I trump your Aventinus with Samichlaus (14%)

I've had a few - they're actually pretty gross, but hit you like a truck.

“Samichlaus” beer is brewed once a year, in each case on December 6th, and stored and matured afterwards for over 10 months before it is bottled. "Samichlaus” beer can mature for many years in the bottle; older vintages obtain a complexity and receive their creamy warm aftertaste. This beer can be served with heavy meals and desserts, particularly with chocolate - or as digestive and meditations drink. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the strongest lager beer in the world with 14 % alcohol and 32° original extract content. It is brewed exclusively of natural raw ingredients after the purity requirement of 1516. “Samichlaus” beer is filled in a 0.33 litre designer bottle embossed with Schloss Eggenberg and in barrels of 15 and 30 litres for export.

Friend of mine picked a couple up for me while in NY. I actually haven't opened them yet but he says they're kinda nasty.

see avatar.

I was JUST next door to their brewery in London Ontario not more than 5 minutes ago. They've got a distribution store right next to it and i thought i'd died and gone to heaven. All BLUE everywhere....too bad it's double the price in Canada as it is when it's imported into the states. I mean...$11.50 for a six pack...i can buy the same thing at any grocery store in NY for $4.50 with tax and deposit. And what's up with canada only selling at beer stores??? What a crock of crap. damn government.

[Pope de Flash]

We are talking about 11.50 canadian right. Thats like what 50 cents US?

Ahhh the wife beater!

[carly1979]

i've never fully understood why it gets called that.....]

[littleMatt]

You've never seen a bunch of rowdy men after 10 pints of Stella? Loopy juice!!!

[carly1979]

no more so than any other lager though..

[mr_malee]

Ahhh the wife beater!

never heard that before

no one else likes becks

[hurricaneone]

So-called wife beater juice in reference to its 5% ABV, which when it was introduced (in the UK) was higher than most available lagers.

Yeah, Stella's good, Guinness is good (for you - though the iron content is not as high as everyone thinks it is).

Like wooter, I like the Belgians, though after the first two glasses of anything, what does it matter? You may as well switch to Stella/Grolsch/Heineken/Krony 'cause it all tastes the same after you've had the first few glasses.
