Your favourite beer

I believe I have a Unibroue Maudite in the fridge
I bought it cold, so I must store it cold.


(I haven't had my current stock for very long)

Cool
Those kind of beers shouldn't be served cold. They're best served at around 12-14 celcius. For storing, I don't know. I keep them in the fridge and when I want to drink one I'll let it warm for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Thanks, guys!

I have no room in the fridge for my collection. What I've been doing is storing them in a room, and when I want to drink one, I put it in the fridge, go back to it when it's cold, and then let 'er sit for a bit to release the flavours. This isn't the best technique, I know, so I'm gonna hafta do somethin'.

I drink most of my beers in the types of glasses you mentioned, Shred. Chalices for the win.

I tried Unbroue Trois Pistoles (as it turns out, I DID have one in my stock), and although it was awesome, I prefer Unibroue's Le Fin Du Monde... slightly.

I believe I have a Maudite as well, so I will try it next!

Speaking of IPAs, I saw a documentary on the making of "Bitch's Brew" by Dogfish Head.
I really want to try some DFH brews, but I cannot get them here.

 

[ABQShredHead]

I can't get Dogfish Head here either. I have to go to Texas or Colorado. When I do, I do.

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

I tried the Jacobite.
One of the best brews I've ever had. Wow. Gonna stock up before it's gone!

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

Tried some Solstice D'Hiver...
Very interesting brew. G/F and I loved it.

Cowboy Coffee Porter from Big Sky is super good. If you ever see it on the shelves, I highly recommend picking up a sixer.

NUGGET NECTAR is hitting shelves soon woohoo! (Troegs Brewery)

Right now, it's this for me:

Shiiiit, their Punkin Ale is the best fall seasonal I've ever had.

Innis is okay... I'm not a huge fan.

I've tried alot of oaked beers and most of them are too flavorful for me, in a bad way.Weyerbacher makes a bunch of oaked beers that are great but you can't really drink them in large quantities. Stone's oaked arrogant bastard didn't do it for me either (I prefer the original). Innis is the only one I've tried that tastes good and has that oak taste to it while still being massively drinkable. Love it.

My sister loves Innis. I bought her a gift pack that had a bottle that was aged in an oak barrel that previously had rum in it.
You tried?

I'm a lager guy. Most ales taste pretty much like puke to me and I have never really gotten into the US micro brewery stuff everyone's making a big fuss over. There's an exceptional finnish micro that makes good lager tho, but most of my beer comes canned.

Best mainstream beers I've tasted are probably the danish Tuborg, chinese Tsingtao, japanese Sapporo and german Warsteiner. All of these are quite rich in taste and don't come with the usual "cat droppings" aftertaste too many beers come with. It's just that imported beer is super expensive here.

 

[ABQShredHead]

Is that Finnish brewer Olfabrikken? Good stuff, especially the 100 Gram IPA. Can't say I agree at all with your characterization of ales, though.

 

[Sep3]

No, I think that's danish. The micro I was talking about is Suomenlinnan Panimo.

If you like IPA's, Plevna Smörre IPA is pretty good.

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

But... but... Ales are the best!
Stouts and IPAs are good, but I loves me some Ale.

 

[ABQShredHead]

Yes, you're correct - it's Danish.
