Following on from the 'Show us your Whisky' thread.

There is a common belief that all beer is like your average generic lager. I'm sure the discerning connoisseurs over at Pistonheads have some interesting beers to share.

I'll kick things off with tonight's sample.

And a good way to do it! Have you tried Rodenbach or Cuvee des Jacobins?

Camera is flat at the moment, will take some of what I've got in at the moment tomorrow.

Thanks went down quite well smile

Rodenbach Grand Cru is delicious and I currently have Caractère Rouge on order (via my Brother who is lucky enough to be in Belgium next week). Never heard of Cuvee des Jacobins will have to seek that out.

Look forward to seeing your photos. Bit of a beer geek...drink

I bought a fair selection of brewdog beers last weekend, on the whole they're pretty good!

I love the really hoppy stuff, IPA's and the like. That EXP366 is magnificent!

Very jealous, can get 8 in my slightly too cold food fridge, rest have to go in three different places!

What I'm drinking right now.



...and what's left of my last haul. Been after the JW Lees Harvest Ale for some time, it isn't coming out yet though smile. Also got some Oakham ales and German lagers at the moment.


A new, and old favorite wheat beer

If you like the Hoppy ones try their "Nanny State", only 0.5% but insanely hoppy, the Mrs loves it, I can't drink the stuff. I've also tried their Tactical Nuclear Penguin at 32% and it's bloody horrible biggrin

That's some good going. I'm sure there are some nice obscure ones there. smile

Indeed

Brewdogs - Sink the Bismarck/ Tactical Nuclear penguin/ Paradox Jura and Isle of Arran.

Quite a lot of local breweries (Naylors/bank top/3 bees)

A pre release (press edition) Thwaites old dan.

A few Belgium beers (Rochefort 6, 8 & 10).

Recently went on a whim to New York for beer (went cask Marqueing!) - oh and watching Hockey. Some very nice craft beers over there!

May one day make a list! Each one has been supped by me!

Now for something a little different...



Thomas Hardy's Vintage Ale, 1999 and 2007, just waiting for an opportune moment to open them. This is a 12% beer that will happily last for 20+ years in the bottle and develop with age. The last one I had was a 1999 vintage about 4 years ago.

I've got a bottle of 2004 Chimay Blue downstairs as well. Should probably crack that one before too long...

Here's one from a while ago. My cousin gave it to me; Brooklyn Local One. It's a 750ml bottle at 9%; it's Belgian style and was very very nice. I've not actually seen it for sale in the UK, but if I do, I reckon I'll buy another bottle.
