Session
Yep, it's good stuff. And the bottles are cute too.
Being from Ft Collins, I'm sure you are familiar with New Belgium products. 1554 - best beer I have ever had. It's tough to find out east though...

If you are so lucky..
Try Chimay Blue, Grimbergen, Leffe or Westmaller (I dont think thats spelled right.) All three are Belgian Beer, all Varying from 6% to 11% in content. They'll get you right.
Merry Christmas

I am looking for some Goose Island (out of Chicago) Bourbon County Stout.
Anyone in the Chicago area who could score a 4 pack and send it to me, let me know, if you would be so kind.
Thanks!
TR

I know I'm way late on this one, but just wanted to make the correction. The beer you're refering to is called Pirminator, a doppelbock made by Parkbrau and only available around Christmas time and had about 20% alcohol. I went to high school in Kaiserslautern, and drank it many times.
From what I hear, the Parkbrau brewery changed hands sometime back in the early 90's, and is now just called Park. Also heard their beer is not as good as it used to be. Not sure if they're still making the Pirminator.

can't argue with that. As the old joke goes: Why is American beer served cold? ...
No alcohol for me though. Just got back from a ~55lbs therapy session. Apparently sugar/eggnog/cappucino-packed + rucking to christmas music, while fun at first, suck near and after the end.

FF,
Did the EXACT same thing to top off my Christmas, however I met an old buddy who was in town post-therapy for a few Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Nothing like rucking through the snowy Northeast to Sinatra and other classics (it inspired me to knock out two more miles and got back past dark). Great way to end a great two days, although I paid dearly this morning.
Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday, whether home or abroad.

Hey Teddy,
Are you able to find imported German beers in rural Mississippi?
I'll take a Paulaner Hefeweizen.

My day job is beer purchaser for a 'fine wine' grocery store, so I get to preview many of the country's, and the world's finest beers. First job I've ever had where I look forward to taking the job home with me.
TR, if you haven't already, look into online beer stores. If it's legal in your state, you can often pick from a selection that beats any you can find in a brick and mortar store, buy them a bottle at a time, and have them shipped to you. Also, if I may suggest a few more, by your interest in GI's wonderful stout- Ten Fidy, by Oskar Blues Brewery; Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, by North Coast Brewery; and Founder's Breakfast Stout, by Founder's Brewery (also a mid-west brewery, out of MI I believe). All of them are excellent representations of stouts, and while none of them are inexpensive, you'll find that you get your dollar's worth out of each of them.
Paul, you're thinking of Westmalle- a great example of what is currently the world favorite style of beer, the Belgian golden ale. You're really in the heart of beer country, there. I'm quite jealous. La Chouffe and Delerium Tremens are my personal faves. I'm enjoying an Houbblon Chouffe as I write this, in fact.
Back to my lane.

M,
You got to be kidding,there are a few places you can find some good old german beer around here but the prices are unbelieveable........  I've mentioned that I'm on Social Security so I really can't afford them any more.......  That's why I buy Keystone 30 cans for $13.95........
