Having some now. It's pretty good. I'm not really getting any unusual flavors from the added ingredients, but it's quite drinkable.

Just added a few of you on Untapped. I'm StrikerObi on there. I'm sitting at 299 unique beers. Gotta make #300 something special! I'm at 669 beers overall, 76 badges.
Yes!
I know what I'm bringing with me to the park every sunday this summer...
Mohawk Bend is good, but too bad it's in Echo Park. There is no convenient way to get there. If you haven't bee already, check out Far Bar in Little Tokyo.

Weekend!
Did a ride along with the importer for this beer and he gave me a case:
It's like a cheaper delirium, but I like the pig!

Jealous! Ugh, I stopped by one of the bigger liquor stores in my area and they don't carry Ommegang at all. Sucks that my favorite brewery requires a several hour car trip just to get some with any level of reliability.
Brother airmailed me a big bottle of Anchor's California Lager since It does not seem to be sold in other states yet.
Had their IPA for lunch, as well as Golden Road's Point the Way IPA.

That sucks - where are you out of?
In NY, the places I go are in Queens, which is not necessarily a hot bed for craft beer, so I can often get a ton of good stuff like this easily.
dude, tri boro beverage company is awesome, also there's "Euro Market" on 31st, and Bier and Cheese is the shit, singlecut brewery is cool even though im not huge on any one of their beers yet...
queens is awesome for good beer on the low down

Love their stuff, but not big on lagers. How is it?
Also, I tried these for the first time last night:
and
Didn't really care for the first, but the second was something else. I may have a new session beer.
I'm the same...rarely drink lagers. But all of Anchor's stuff has their own unique flavor and this was not different. I'll definitely be picking it up again. I also got a sixer of Yeungling Lager, also good, but the Anchor was more complex. Sweet-ish though.
it'd be cooler if you had hiked to some remote location with a bomber of stone and took a badass pic of it

Gumballhead is still the best FFF beer I've ever had.

This thread reminded me I totally need to get a room temperature bottle of Maredsous Triple for Tuesday night when I will have completed my last law school final.
I've never had it ;( it's a real beer desert where I live, three Floyds is nearly impossible to come across. my friend is the buyer/manager of a local beer store and he hooks me up when he can.

FFF doesn't distribute out in WA, so I get it through trades or from a cousin who lives in South Bend, IN.

I love Lagunitas in general, but just got around to trying this one of theirs:
Delicious.

Tried a (Polish) Zywiec Porter tonight. Doesn't taste much like a porter, doesn't taste like 9.5%. A bit sweet but overall nice enough.

Favourite beer of all time: Lowenbrau
Ive never had anything better than that. Just got home from Bruges tho where they had some excellent beers there, Bruges Zot and Leffe (Blond for both) were the highlights.

Hey, Beer-GAF!
So I recently had a bottle of Three Philosophers (great beer), but I noticed that the label was different than the one I'm used to. If you're not familiar with it, this is the regular label (at least how I've always known it):
But this bottle I just got looks like this:
I looked it up online and as far as I can tell, it's not a special edition or off-shoot of the regular Three Philosophers, so I was wondering if any of you guys know what the deal is. I'm guessing, at this point, that they're just re-doing their labels and this is the new one? I honest'y have no clue.

Yeah, they recently redesigned all of their labels.

Ommegang introduced new style labels for all their beers last year. They are all silhouettes like you see on the new Three Philosophers bottle. Related story: I was cleaning my garage out yesterday and I found an unopened bottle of Three Philosophers I had forgotten about in my garage fridge. It was a Mother's day miracle!

Trying a spontaneously fermented beer for the first time.
It's... Weird. I'm not really sure I like it. Very sour taste with a strange smell I can't really place. I think it's a bit too cold, so I'm gonna give it a chance to warm up before I make my final judgement.

Ommegang is cool to visit, it's really a super small operation in the middle of nowhere. The highlight of the trip is the awesome food they have in their bar/cafe. Their Belgian waffles are great, Chicken and Waffles are awesome, Beef Carbonade is great, crepes are good...really you cant go wrong.

That's probably the Brettanomyces.

Yeah, that sounds probable. Anyway, while I can see how people like it, it's definitely not a beer for me. I may give it another shot in the future, though.

Does it smell like feet or a barn? Brett can do that. And yes, it's very unique and not for everyone.
Snytbaggen

More like a barn, I think. It's definitely not feet.
So they'll definitely have Tripel Karmeliet and Kwak and perhaps St Feulliens Grand Cru. Enjoy
. Oh! If they carry, try La Trappe's Puur pilsner. And correct them on the 'Belgian' part: La Trappe is Dutch

I always say Oh-meh-gahng. No idea if that's correct.

Cool. That's how I pronounce it as well. There are still about 500 beers whose names I am probably butchering every time I say them.
