Where do you live anyways? I was too damn drunk to remember anything we spoke of last time other than Domine Non Es Dignus... Definitely though.

Call me dude. We're always partying. PM for my phone number. Whatever PM means.

I've got to find a way to get some good beer here. I'm dying for just a Sam Adams or something.

well on tap it goes good with sushi. i wouldnt buy it at the store, but i dunno what they got over there so i suggested it. i dont think the japs like the heavier and hoppier shit.

At most stores here you can only find the major Japanese brands. Yebisu, Sapporo, Kirin, Asashi, and the occasional imported beer such as a Bud or Heineken are all I've been able to find so far. Oh, and I did find some Orval though have never tried it.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Orval (if it is what I'm thinking of) is pretty damn tasty.


I got a bunch of cheap 500ml cans of strong beer randomly for consumption this evening. I don't expect it to be good, but maybe I'll be surprised.

First up is Boris Bold.

First impression: A completely average strong lager.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Orval is awesome, just ask Elestin .

That'd really suck to only drink piss lagers all the time. I need my hoppy beers.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Orval is one of, if not THE, the most unique beers you'll ever have. It tastes nothing like whisky, but the complexities are paralleled.

Amazingly, I actually found some traquair jacobite in Utah... strangely enough, it was in the wine store. I bought many bottles.

Last time I had it, I had to get some dude from scotland to send it to me. I am very pleased. One of the most flavorful ales I've ever had.

Also on the menu for tonight, some rochefort 8's that I've had aging for about a year. I've heard the 8 really benefits from a nice aging, guess we'll see.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Weird that it's hard to buy Traquair Jacobite in Scotland. It's all over. I see it in almost every liquor store that has craft beer. I guess Utah sucks. Wee heavies do indeed rule. Other scottish ales are pretty lame, imo.

Drinking my Arrogant Bastard atm. Ace brew.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I had a pint of Arrogant Bastard last night. Tonight was Rogue Dead Guy Ale and Troegs Hopback Amber Ale.

My friend introduced me to a new beer store yesterday, the selection was staggering. The probably had 300-400 different belgian ales alone. I picked up:

Trappistes Rochefort 10
La Fin Du Monde
Trois Pistoles
Rogue Brutal Bitter
Stone Ruination IPA
