I had no idea there was a subset of hops. Galaxy hops are legit.

Just picked up an Allagash 'Tripel' 4-pack. Can't wait to try it later tonight.

It has nothing to do with who the Indians are. Before the Suez Canal was built, English ale went bad on the long sea voyage to India, so they put extra hops in it to make it last longer on the journey.

Well I hadn't bothered to look that up. The More You Know. My brother left me a variety of IPAs over the holidays. Harpoon wasn't bad. First IPA I think I've tried that was tolerable.

If you like that, they have a XXXX IPA. That'll take care of ya!

It was pretty good. Kinda reminded me of Dogfish Head's 'Midas Touch', both being golden beers on the sweet side and similar abv.

Going to a Belgian Biergarten tomorrow with a ton of my friends. It's gonna be siiiiiiiick.

I'll let you guys know what the flavors were all about.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Shouldn't that be a biergaarden, being Belgian and all?

 

[Zephyrus]

You beat me to it.

Going to Utah, land of the near-beer.

Anything I ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT MISS, beer experts?

Utah is the home of Epic Brewing Company, and they make some pretty solid stuff. Their Elder Brett is fantastic. Big Bad Baptist is a giant fucking pot of coffee. Aside from that there isn't a whole lot else. They get some west coast stuff (Sierra Nevada, Deschutes, and Firestone Walker).

Too bad you can't go in there. Morons only.

Still young so I haven't had that much time to explore beers, can't even legally drink in the U.S. but luckily I live on the right side of the Atlantic.
I've found myself enjoying belgian beers and trappists and next week I will together with a couple of friends order some beers which aren't found at the local store for tasting. I've decided on contributing with Westmalle Triple as one beer, any thoughts about it?

 

[unknown]

Westmalle is good stuff. I really like their dubbel

Westmalle is good stuff. I really like their dubbel

The choice was between dubbel and triple but if I wanted double I would have had to order a whole case of 24 bottles, I think I can manage to wait allthough I believe it too would tickle my taste buds.

my favorite trappist ales are Rochefort 10 and Orval. Both are absolutely fantastic. I could drink them everyday

 

[Ah0nen]

Rochefort 10 is my favourite of those I've tasted so far. Orval is yet to be tried.

Should be some good drinking.

Three Philosophers is a sexy beer. Went out drinking with my buddy last night. The highlight was splitting a bottle of Deschutes Mirror Mirror red wine barrel aged barleywine...absolutely delicious. I'm glad I snagged a bottle to go because it should age beautifully
