posh beers and ales and stuff thread

[hello spiral]

Went in my now local Tesco post-move and fuck me :^)

DELIRIUM!!!

[beerwolf]

hahah yes they also got 'em in my local Tesco, couldn't believe my eyes. Happy days : )

 

sometimes they send my store an odd case of something then it disappears (usually down my neck!) (Exmoor Beast, Cornish Orchards Vintage, McChouffe to name a few) but the Delirium seems to be a regular ting.

[BCM]

Love Delerium Tremens

[cwmbrancity]

remember a fruit themed DT from early 2011 (been a while), twas lush, heady & exceptionally more-ish, like this booze porn

[QQQ]

yeah Tesco have been stocking some solid brews for a while. props to em. that was the first Trappist beer i had, actually. wouldn't bother with it again, even at £2.15.

[hello spiral]

Aw I don't mind Westmalle . I used to pick it up in M&S.

[BCM]

Westmalle is wicked mon

[Candiru]

I had some Tröegs Nugget Nectar in tap and it was a citrusy, piney bouquet of dankness. There are so many beers out there that I forgot about this one, which would usually disappear from stores as soon as it appeared.

[cwmbrancity]

the last few years supermarkets really raised their game with the range of brews, not quite the dodgy off-license yesteryear selection of Special Brew and ciders that contain zero apple ingredients for sunday afternoon/mon/tues comedown fodder

 

cant read this thread any more

 

must. resist.

these guys are 2 mins around the corner from the new house I'm moving into at the weekend, looks like they've got a good selection:

looks like a fine establishment *slobbers*

 

I spy they have a Scandinavian section, check out Nogne if they have them, bit pricey but very tasty

best beers i've had here in finland are from a nice brewery called fat lizard. pricey but they do nice american style ipas. really quite excellent. interestingly enough most of their beers are gluten free which usually mean they suck, but not here. best gluten free beers ive ever had

Nice.  Rochefort 8 might be my favorite beer of all time...

 

I am going to try some Brazilian IPAs while I'm down here.  I'm not really a fan of IPAs, but that's what they're going crazy making down here right now and I don't want to miss the opportunity.

[dingformung]

I'm seeing some nice collections of beer here. I usually drink cheap beer, but sometimes this special crap is nicer:

 

[caze]

It's beer day again

 

 

I think this one is a Pale Ale?

 

The Rochefort 6 was lovely, looking forward to trying the 8

[Nebraska]

lucky buddha beer

 

[hello spiral]

What's the one that looks like spaghetti?

i just love that geuze boon beer, it smells like a grannies old sock but it tastes so fresh and a bit sour

 

Orval is still my absolute personal favorite beer for the moment, nothing beats it

[Silent Member]

Those are good beers, the Rochefort 10 is probably my favourite, not so much into the gulden draak and piraat, but the rest are top level.

 

lol what is the Sierra Nevada doing there, don't know about that one.

i also love the geuze boon, and i wasn't so sure about orval the first time i had it but i am really coming around on it.  i've seen it more down here (in grocery stores even) than i've seen up in the states.

 

the sierra nevada is there because i wanted to try their geuze and i guess i had to go to brazil to try an american geuze lol.

[Chabraendeky]

I'm a big fan of the Fuller's brewery. Right now i'm drinking the Indian Pale Ale for the first time. The best IPA I ever had.
