Discussion The Beer Thread!

Don't remember who did who, just that one of you recommended that beer.

I liked.

Lager? like Samuel Adams?

 

[xi0]

Sam Adams makes dozens of different beers, but yes they make Lagers.

 

[mikkih]

I actually noticed it first

That reminds me...I still have some in my fridge

I think I have one in my fridge, the rest are Guinness.

 

[M3J]

Oh. I probably don't like lager, then. I didn't like that Sams Adams I had at the restaurant.

Pretty much every light beer is a lager

 

[M3J]

All light beer sucks balls, then. :\

*stabs Natty Light*

At the moment I am exremly enjoy a great beer by the name of "HobGoblin"

Drinking Corsendonk Pater Dubbel Ale tonight. Have a Corsendonk Agnus Triple and Rochefort 10 waiting in the fridge

 

[xi0]

I would like to try the Rochefort brews, but it's much less convenient to buy it in singles. It's pretty damn expensive.

 

[Kaiten]

While not cheap it is comparable to buying it by the glass at a bar.

Even with the price bump that bars have? It's like $7 a bottle at the place I go to, both 8 and 10. I hear 8 is better than 10.

Rochefort 10 at the Mussel Bar is $15. Buying a single bottle cost $10 and change. Some beers, like Orval, would be priced the same whether at a pub or from the store. I can't speak for Rochefort 8, I have not had tried it yet, but Rochefort 10 is very interesting. It's a bit like a more balanced Kasteel Triple. There is a strong alcohol flavor but it is balanced by a nice fruitiness with hints of berries. A great beer for anyone looking for a strong ale but not a favorite of mine.

Corsendonk Double was very good, not as good as the Christmas blend but still recommended. A little drier and more tart than the average Belgian ale. I'm going to try the triple tomorrow.

Wow, well from what I'm getting is you need to find a better store to buy your beer from. You mentioned how much something was previously and it was much more expensive for you than it's price at where I go

 

[k-dom]

Are really those price in shops ?! I think the rochefort is between 2€ and 3€ here, it the dollar that weak ?

Looks like $7ish to buy at stores, $10-16 at bars.

 

[k-dom]

Argh, I will never complain to the pint of guiness at 10€ in bar anymore :-)

 

[xi0]

It's also due to it being imported as well.

 

[k-dom]

We import it too :-)
I don't think any transport justify such a price difference. But maybe they are imported in very low quantity making it a rare product

 

[mikkih]

After living one year in germany, drinking a fransiskaner is something special to me. So yes drinking it in a large round stemmed glass was disappointing especially when i'm in a bar which is supposed to be specialized. With the price they sell beers in France, they can buy glasses.

Pic for you who likes Fran~ and Guinness.

But there's not an Ocean separating you

Not saying the dollar doesn't factor into it, but beer (even beer that originated in foreign countries) which is brewed/bottled here is much cheaper. Weihenstephaner is even pretty cheap in comparison to many Belgian brews.
