Welcome to ascension, brother.So I tried this
oh my lord, my worldview and perspective on life has been changed
Those have been readily available at the the SAQ ( State liquor stores) in Quebec. Very enjoyable given the high ABV.
Selection is very limited depending on the type of SAQ ( Selection, Signature, Express) so it would vary. With that in mind, the selection is still pretty limited. Beer wise is would be better to find a good beer Dépanneur that carries a wide selection of beers brewed in the province.
Drinking a Vache Folle as we speak. Microbrasserie Charlevoix is one of the best brewers I've had the pleasure of tasting.
I'm laughing my ass off because I had that first beer over the weekend also. That fruity finish is addictive.
lol you and your maple syrup.
maybe I should try it if I have some boring beer sometime.
So I tried the PBR I bought a few weeks ago just for fun, and it's, well... Beer-flavored soda is how I'd describe it. Most non-tasting beer I've ever had.

Eh, it's an American Lager, you know what you're in for when you're picking it up. Drank a million of them in the past and I'll drink them in the future
have you had coors light?
Oh man. I drank a Chimay Blue a couple of hours ago. Had not had one in a long time now and had forgotten how good it is. After the first sip I actually said out loud "wow, now that's a fucking beer!" So many complex flavors that just blend together perfectly. I enjoyed that over the course of an hour or so and the taste just keeps evolving.
Soon I'll have a Westmalle Tripel which I also haven't had in a long time, but I remember loving it. The two bottles I bought were actually the last two bottles in my whole city. The closest they are available right now is on the other side of the county I live in. Since I'm in Sweden there's only one government-owned store chain to legally buy alcohol over 3.5% ABV, so it's easy to see availability on their website.
Also bought one Rochefort 10 which I have never tried before, but I've heard great things. But I'll save that for tomorrow because it's really strong and I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol haha.
I actually haven't been drinking a lot of beers in a while now and just recently got back into it. I'm still pretty new to the premium beers though. Most of the beers I've had have been cheap lagers and the like.
Reuben's Brews in Seattle is bottling, just saw this awesome display at my neighborhood Whole Foods. Their Imperial Rye IPA (green label) keeps winning national awards, and is now in 22 oz. bombers. Rock on.
Fantastic! I'll be up in Seattle next week.
Rochefort 10... I had one of those about half a year back, and I just saw that I can order them to the store in my town so I might buy a few. For being a government-owned chain store Systembolaget is actually really nice.
Wasn't in any desperate attempt to get it, so I swung by the biggest liquor store in town today when I was in the neighborhood. No surprise, there was a line yesterday when they opened and they sold through 3 cases of KBS in under an hour. Apparently they just happened to get some Zombie Dust in the same day, which also sold out.

Went to South Carolina last weekend and had this for the first time.
It's super rich though so I could only drink like one or two every few hours. Tastes sooo good. I don't think they sell it in Virginia

kuhnhenn! amazing stuff. i miss being right down the road from their brewery.
You've helped me decide what to drink tonight
god damn
What a treat.
The guy who brought the Kuhnhenn beers has a trading partner who lives a block from the brewery. It was interesting hearing the story of how they started off as a hardware store that happened to have beer.
The Dark Heathen Triple Bock was a mess. Tasted like salty teriyaki sauce.
The Alchemist -- Heady Topper Imperial IPA
I have a 2010 Grande Reserve sitting in my cupboard waiting, just waiting until I'm ready to drink it. My plan was to crack it open later this year, not sure yet. Since I'm planning on drinking it this year, I'm probably going to pick up a 2012 or 2013 Grand Reserve to replace it for drinking in a few years time. Or, if I can stop myself, having both might make a nice comparison in another few years. Pity there's no 2011s left to be found, as that would've made for a fun tasting session.
god damn
Is it as good as they say? Did you drink from the can as directed by the can?
Just curious. I would love to try heady.
