Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Xmas? That would get me through this weekend and then I'd have to drive back there for more. :)

I saw this in a magazine shop: http://www.hopandbarley.co.uk/volume-07
Thought I'd share here.

Wow, £6 a bottle for Piraat and Gulden Draak. They are still in Lidl for £1.50 in that six pack.

^ and neither are very good :-/

Spencer IPA, paid 8 euros a bottle a couple of weeks ago in a local bar, now in my local (well just across the border in Belgium) bottle shop

Bets now on how much makes it until Xmas.. Haha.

@skydancer The 12 is for keeps, one bottle a year to age it. If I go back for more (I plan to) I'll let you know!

dafuq is "American Trappist"?

it's legit

They'll be gone by 3am this Sunday.

Innaressing.

Now I need to find some...

Bottle Shop sometimes has them in

My experience is similar to yours, flat as a pancake. Not undrinkable, but pretty rubbish

if at all possible, one should make sure to visit the Struise Brouwers' brewery in Oostvleteren some Saturday this December, new beers coming!

Struise are awesome

Maybe you could pick up a case and send it over :)

maybe... pm me your wish list & details, I might go 11 or 18 December and if I have enough car boot space maybe we can work something out.

This might be of interest

Have succumbed to Black Friday, Beergium have some pretty good sours in their sale. Also managed to get a De Molen / Hof Ten Dormaal imperial stout for 3 euros 24.

Beergium

?

https://www.beergium.com/en/ have to ship from belgium but still good prices on things compared to here

Hmm, do I need another beer retailer in my life?

I think a couple of deliveries arrived with neighbours today. I hope they don't get wise to what it is and drink it all before I get home.

I'm sure you've ordered more than your neighbours could handle :P

I mainly use Beergium for American and Scandi stuff.

I mainly travel to the US on the pretext of 'racing' to get US stuff :)
I'm back on the wagon (ie. only had two beers last night) in order to try and shed some weight and get back into training. It's not going well :P

Weekend sorted.

Awesome selection. Mariage is one of my favs.
