Not gonna read all this but has anyone had an Old School from Dogfish Head brewery? It's 15% by volume and not sure I have ever been as drunk on beer as this past Friday because of this stuff.
There's a place on Oklahoma in Milwaukee called Discount Liquors that's got a nice selection also.Three Cellars?Enjoying a Founders Backwoods *******.
Very good beer. Visited my local beer store and came home with Fantome, Alpha Klaus, Jolly Pumkin, Moylans Kilt Lifters, Southern Tier Chocolat Stout, and others. Just saving those for a later date.
Absolutely. I found it a bit too sweet, syrupy and cloying after a while. And the 15% whooped my ###.Not gonna read all this but has anyone had an Old School from Dogfish Head brewery? It's 15% by volume and not sure I have ever been as drunk on beer as this past Friday because of this stuff.
I've been to Discount nice place. I live just south of Milwaukee so the trip to Three Cellars is easier. Add to it that I can buy a beer off the shelf and drink it in the store.Just finished off a Founders Porter now on to a Three Floyds Robert the Bruce.There's a place on Oklahoma in Milwaukee called Discount Liquors that's got a nice selection also.Three Cellars?Enjoying a Founders Backwoods *******.

Chimay Blue is a nice beer that ages well for quite a few years.Had a 25 ozer of this a few nights ago.
It was remarkably smooth but complex at the same time. A great combination of flavor and "smoothness", especially considering the 9% ABV. Definitely something I'd buy again, but it was like $10.99 for the beer.
The date on the cork said 04/08, so I guess it was 10-11 months old. I would have held onto it for a bit longer if I had known...ETA: assuming that was a dateChimay Blue is a nice beer that ages well for quite a few years.Had a 25 ozer of this a few nights ago.

Yeah, that's the date. I haven't had any real old ones, but have heard from others that they are good at 5+ years.The date on the cork said 04/08, so I guess it was 10-11 months old.

That wouldn't surprise me if you did. Also wouldn't have shocked me if you had said that you drank Forty, Year-Old Molsons once.I drank a 40 year old Molson once.
Just finished off a 6 of Lagunitas Imperial Red, great stuff. Also got a bomber of the Hop Stoopid last week which was great as well.Evilgrin 72 said:I'm a huge fan of Lagunitas in general, and specifically, the 6 of Sirius Cream Ale I pikced up last night. It's like drinking a Tetley's or Boddington's, but with a gorgeous IPA finish. Tremendous drinkability for a 7.2 ABV beer, too.
Too true. And a great beer for the money imo.Friend's birthday coming up on Friday. I am taking a 2006, 2007, and 2008 Expedition stout to him. One of the few perfect beers for me, and they just get better with age.
Drinking their IPA for the first time right now...I'm liking it a lot.It's a lot smoother than a lot of IPAs I've tried in the past, with a non-overpowering hoppy taste you'd expect with an IPA. I could see myself drinking way too many of these in one sitting and not feeling well the next morningI'm a huge fan of Lagunitas in general, and specifically, the 6 of Sirius Cream Ale I pikced up last night.

I've heard this is awesome before. I need to find some place I can get my hands on it.Victory Prima Pils
Grand Champion Pilsner: United States Beer Tasting Championships 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005
Heaps of hops give this pale lager a bracing, herbal bite over layers of soft and smooth malt flavor. This refreshing combination of tastes makes Prima a classy quencher in the tradition of the great pilsners of Europe. Dry and delightful, this is an elegant beer.
Malts: 2 row German pilsner malt
Hops: German and Czech whole flowers

It was pretty freakin' awesome. I'd happily buy a case and not leave the house till it was gone

After seeing this thread again I popped an old favorite in the fridge for an hour. Getting ready to pop the cork on a St Bernardus Abt 12 60th anniversary edition :(
Troeg's Nugget Nectar is a fantastic beer. Definitely one of my all-time favorites. Unfortunately, it's only available in PA, VA, NJ, DE, MD, MA, and NY. I'm going to have to stock up next time I'm in PA. Troeg's Nugget NectarNow finishing a Nugget Nectar. Wish I had more of this.
St Bernardus Abt 12 has always been my #1. I have two cases of the 60th Anniversary aging in my cellar.After seeing this thread again I popped an old favorite in the fridge for an hour. Getting ready to pop the cork on a St Bernardus Abt 12 60th anniversary edition
