The Beer Snobs 2.0 Thread

[MrWillyWanker]

oh shyt. i never knew this thread existed. im a huge beer snob. beer or bourbon is all i drink.. ill just copy this post i just made in the staying in for new years thread. lol that hefe pictured above is the one im referring to

purchased a great german hefeweizen to start off with, got a 4 pack of prob my fav belgian tripel La Fin Du Monde, and ending the night with a Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout. a beer that is VERY hyped up and that i have been waiting to try for some time. 15% ! gonna knock me on my ass

Yo, what's this like? I hear a lot of people are all about GI's Belgian line, but what I've had (Pere Jacques and Sofie, mostly) have been pretty underwhelming. I hear Juliet is great, but it's like $16/bomber around here so I've been hesitant.

Not really a fan of the Sofia and Matilda, but Juliet is where it's at. Has a real sour feel to it, so if you don't like sours you should avoid. Goes down real easy and gives a great buzz. My favorite American Wild Ale outside of Love Child # 2.

Sours/belgians are definitely my thing, so I might cop a bottle soon.

Fin du Monde is probably my favorite beer. It's the bad boy that got me in the craft beer scene about two years ago. About to pop open a growler of Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Was gonna get a growler of DFH Midas Touch, but I couldn't bring myself to drop the $25 on it.

Fin du Monde is probably my favorite beer.

i can feel that. def in my top 5-10 beers ive ever had. its become somewhat of a tradition to indulge on new years for me

 

[RenAi!]

I want to try sours, still haven't had one yet. Total Wine had a variety 9 pack of Belgian Sours I may pick it up next time I go.

I know one of my local stores has a "sour power" pack. I think it's only like 4 beers though.

I'm curious what would come in a 9 pack though.

Also, finishing this growler of Christmas Ale and I'm pretty sufficiently faded. Hope people at work aren't expecting me to get that much done!

I don't remember exactly what beers were in the pack probably making a trip this week so I should find out then. I've been getting Founder's Breakfast Stout alot on tap, just about every friday during lunch break I'll get that with my meal at the bars/restaurants in Center City near my job.
