What's your favorite Beer?

@Seul:

Nope. Lose the first "yu" and you've got it… Gueuze is just the French way of spelling geuze, but you don't pronounce the first "u"...

Thought as much. Glad I checked. Thank you [emoji106][emoji4]

Good, but a bit one-dimensional…

Local brewery, only 3 km down the road. They only started a couple of years ago and while I've tried supporting them their product isn't always up to scratch. This however is a very solid, tasty beer with lots of body. Promising stuff.

@Broark:

So my local bottle shop sent out an email bragging about getting a limited selection of Alvinne (specifically Podge, Sigma and Kerasus 2014). Are these worth getting? I had Omega last year and enjoyed it.
I'm still learning about Belgian beers, so I figured I'd come here to ask the expert and in-house Belgian @Seul his thoughts!

From Alvinne, I've only had the Omega, Phi and Sigma.  I liked the Omega most, but not enough to go out of my way to buy it again.

Popping my Belgian beer cherry

My good lady has just returned from working in Antwerp with a couple of bottles for me that I've never heard of:

1. Antigoon dubbel blond (7%) from The Musketeers brewery and
2. Seef's Bootje's Bier (7%)

Anyone know anything about these?

I was just in Brussels.  Stopped by the Delirium cafe a time or two.  Alright maybe it was closer to 5 times.  With the weather being abnormally hot, the Blanche De Brussels Rosee was phenomenal.  In the two days I was in Brussels I drank a solid 6 pints of it.

1. Antigoon dubbel blond (7%) from The Musketeers brewery => gets good reviews, haven't tried it myself…
2. Seef's Bootje's Bier (7%) => the new Seef bier... Gets mediocre reviews... Not on any of my lists... Unless I'd make an "To avoid" one...

Thanks Seul, I thought (and hoped) you'd chime in. I think she was given them to be fair but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth! She also brought back loads of Pierre Marcolini chocolate.

Average…

Bottled 2010… Did I really notice some vanilla in this one?.. Pretty much brilliant...

[jdl1279]

So tasty

[xtcclassic]

Yeah. I like Arcadia as much as I like Founders. Great stuff.

[Seul]

Milkchocolate and sourness… Yes: I'm a fan... But defo not for everyone...

Xtc I like Founders for some things and Arcadia for others. I find where one is great the other lags and vice versa.

Finally summer in northern Norway.

Gueze Tilquin coming up later, but I'm warming up with this.

I've decided that cherries in beer is fine. Not sweet and overpowering. This is great summer drinking. Packs a surprising punch.

[neph93]

Seul, mate, if we ever meet be prepared to get cuddled. Thank you for bringing this into my life.  Geuze Tilquin FTW!

[neph93]

Sun still shining at the cabin so it's Monday fun-day, with this cheeky number. Very fresh and crisp but with lots of tasty malt.

[Seul]

I'm so fucking jealous of the BFM saison… I can only buy it online and it's expensive...

Cuddling's ok, no tickles though...

[neph93]

Paid about €11 for it in the monopoly , which is quite reasonable in Norway compared to what that'll buy you otherwise. Loads of taste considering it's only 5%.

I'll limit myself to cuddles, I promise.

[Seul]

Well it's 16€ here online… Hoping to find a shop with some BFM stock soon though... Apparently the Bon Chien now comes in half bottles as well  ???
