Shrdlu knew beer was just another tool of Satan!

We have Maudite here in Canada - the Damned one - also an 8% brew!

I guess Brother Thelonious would have to counter Satan beer.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

probably should go in the Hello Kitty thread but ... new meaning to De Beers.

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

What an attractive foam-fitting engagement ring.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

had some of them Dogfish 90 Minute IPAs over the weekend.

good stuff, but alas I was straightened right up when the bill came! premium brew.

now what's with the electric-football-game hopping?

& a rec for anybody out in Cleveland - had a chance to check out Bar Cento across from the West Side Market last week.

Belgian beer houz with the best duck fat fries - oh my oh my!

Picked up a bottle of this Brew yesterday. Have no idea what it tastes like, but hopefully

it's better than that godawful Panther Ale that besmirched the Three Stooges' name.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the original release of Bitches Brew, Miles Davis' 1970

paradigm-shifting landmark fusion breakthrough, we've created our own Bitches Brew - a bold, dark beer

that's a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory

analog to Miles' masterpiece.Featuring the album's iconic artwork, created by the late Mati Klarwein,

on its label.

You should try this! Great Norwegian Christmas beer with a name that translates well everywhere:

I've been drinking Obsidian Stout lately, and it's very good. Nice dark taste, a good late night listen to jazz beer. It's heavy though, I only drink one at a time. Made out of Oregon. Kudos.

Have you tried theDeshutes Black Butte Porter?

I love hefeweizen in summer, and this is a great one.

I love hefeweizen in Summer too... and Fall, and Winter, and Spring.

Widmer is the highly accessible, regular favorite that I keep on hand constantly. I like Franziskaner, but among the imports I've tried (some in side-by-side taste tests)...

my personal favorites are Paulaner (loved the smooth taste, as well as the carbonation) and Weihenstephaner (so rich and flavorful... it's always sad when the glass goes empty).

I've had all of those at one time or another, but when it comes to hefeweizen I've probably put more of these away over the years than any other:

Dave, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my eyes open for that one.

I felt in love with La Trappe Dubbel.

[Noj]

They serve this 'un at a local specialty beer bar. 11% alcohol! Tasty too.

"gimme the worst beer in the house," i asked of chad and joyce, my favorite bartenders and knowledgeable beer ultra snobs, on one of my few sober days.

folks, seeing my pathetic beverage selection, were asking me what was wrong.

chad quickly served up this tepid classic:

joycer suggested the equally pathetic:

Me too. At least they don't proudly advertise how low in carbs or calories their beer is. Anyone who's seriously concerned about either when it comes to selecting a beer is missing the point.

Is that actually a Duvel or just the glass?

I love the regular and dark Duvel but tend to not try all these fruity and otherwise flavored ones... but nothing beats Belgian beer anyway! (Well, maybe French Belzebuth... very strong one, tastes best after a couple of hours in the freezer)

[Big Wheel]

It's just the glass (I have the same Duvel tulip). Trois Pistoles is a Belgian-style strong dark ale made by Unibroue in Canada. I've been cellaring a bottle of it for about 3 years now!
