What's your favorite Beer?

@Seul:

Really good beer… Bit light bodied, but delicious.

Loads of new Saison at the monopoly today. That one may have been there.

I'm not at home now but I dropped a ton of cash on som crazy Belgian quad from St. Bernardus (?). Their magnum edition from 2014. I'm going to try (and fail) to keep it for a few years.

I went through their online list (no idea how up to date that is), and recommend:

http://www.vinmonopolet.no/vareutvalg/overgjeret/belgia/de-ranke-saison-de-dottignies/sku-1777802

=> Buy a million. It's light, and pretty light bodied, but you can down it in 15 seconds… And its delish...

http://www.vinmonopolet.no/vareutvalg/overgjeret/belgia/glazen-toren-saison-derpemere/sku-2200201

=> Buy a trillion.

Still: Orval and Chimay Premiere/ Rouge are better

The lists are sharp. They'll tell you which stores have which beers, how many bottles and how long you'll have to wait if it's only available in order. The first one they have at my local, the second one I just ordered. Thanks v. much for the tips [emoji106]

This is the 25€ shit I just bought. Know anything about it:

Yeah: it's an annual magnum version. Cool bottle to save (cellar).

Warm… Time for an IIPA... Pretty good but nothing spectacular...

Here's a few from the weekend.

This gose came highly recommended by the guy at the bottle shop, but I wasn't very impressed…

Almost forgot how good the Standard from Prairie is, I've been drinking all their stouts and heavier stuff for awhile. Their lighter and less funky stuff is still really damn good.

And at the end of the night this just destroyed me. Massive beer. Should've had it earlier on…

[Seul]

The Standard is fucking amazeballs and I wish I had a fridge filled with it…

[neph93]

@Broark  that last one looks like my neck if the woods, I'd love to try it. Having a big heavy one at the end of the night? Yeah, I know…

[Seul]

One of those PERFECT beers… I could drink a million of this... So sad this costs 7.85€/ bottle here 

[jdl1279]

Not sure how I feel about this…very fruity, kinda tart, and all in all pretty pleasant taste. Just not what I think of when I think beer. Could be really dangerous on a super hot day at 9.2%...

[Broark]

I also felt the same way about Blushing Monk @jdl1279 , really does sneak up on you. Doesn't really taste like beer at all almost.
And @neph93 if you like super heavy IPA's that will destroy you I recommend picking up the RuinTen!

[jdl1279]

Nope, more like a juice cocktail

Best imp stout from Belgium.

Last order for a while, pinky swear…

[Broark]

Prairie Ale is solid, haven't had it in a couple years but worth drinking.

[Seul]

In the meantime… Absolutely gorgeous...

[Giles]

Pinkie bullshits…

On deck for the evening.

Heard good things, I'm excited to give it a whirl.

[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!

[Seul]

Alvinne had quality issues until recently… Lots of infected beers... They've grown past it, or so I heard, but I had two beers made by 'm and one was infected and the other one just sucked... Have one more here... I'll let you know how that is... It's theiir 2nd highest rated beer:

So basically: if they're fresh, try 'm... But as of right now, they will need to work hard at convincing me they're anything but a mediocre brewery... What they try to do is admirable, I guess...
