Good point. There's probably a few like that...old speckled hen in the bottle and on tap is like two different beers. i love it on tap but just ok in the bottle

You need to try Allagash Curieux. $100 for six 25 oz. bottles, but worth every penny. As someone who samples probably 200 different brews per year, I'd put it in my top 3 list.Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Beer is stored in used bourbon barrels before bottling. The beer has a hint of bourbon in the taste. 8.0% + abv. Hard to find, but well worth it!

They still have that "no keg beer for personal consumption" in quebec?That is just wrong!My wife just git home with a gift for me. A kegarator with 3 brass tap, with the regulator and all the fitting.... It is a nice unit and I think shéa got a sweet deal on it. But I just found out that no comercial big scal brewery are selling keg. Si Îll have to dig i tey are availbale in micro brewery OR, start to home brew ! But I can't wait ( even if it might take a year to get everything set up) to get home for a c'od pint of beeeeerrrrr !
Wow... can't even imagine that. Very common to have personal kegs here.They still have that "no keg beer for personal consumption" in quebec?That is just wrong!
Yes it is !! Everything over 10 liter for keg and tou need a alcool permit ( like for a bar or restaurant ) and I am not there yet !! But don't get me wrong our beer in Canada is still more expensive that US but beer in Quebec is a lot cheaper than Ontario, NB ans NS.They still have that "no keg beer for personal consumption" in quebec?That is just wrong!
Got a 25 oz. bottle of La Trappe Quad in the fridge awaiting me right now. It's a solid beer, but the 10% ABV means you're not going to get to try 3 - 4 different beers in a session. Did you get to try any other beers while there?I was recently in Toronto and found myself in a place called "Bier Markt". Over 110 varieties on the beer menu. I jumped to the Trappist section (recall reading many great reviews here) - they had La Trappe Quadrupel (Netherlands I believe?) on draught. Almost fell off my chair - no not drunk - it was just that good.

I have a simple formula, ounces x ABV% < 200. If I stay under that number, I can still sit at my desk and remain productive afterward.Are you drunk?

Same here JF iv got a kegerator but its usually empty, id rather a variety selection. Current selections are: Killian red,rolling rock,red horse,San Mig, Yuengling Lager,Yuengling Black & Tan,Leinenkugels honey Weiss,octoberfest,orange shanty and Creamy dark. Also cream ale and hamms left by friends. That makes 12 Different brews. And cant stand anything with "light" in the name.Wow... can't even imagine that. Very common to have personal kegs here.
Trouble with kegs, even smaller ones... you're locked into just one or two brews at a time. I like to keep the fridge stocked with at least a half-dozen different brews, at all times. Never did understand the, "I'm a Budweiser man," type mentality.
I also eat different food every day.
Haven't tried that, but I do like a good Scottish ale. I'll have to watch for some. On price, $100 is pretty average for a quality beer in limited supply. Some of the beers I have listed above are closer to $200/case. Marketing and name brands aside, the pricing is pretty well fixed by the ingredients and cost of brewing:Been testing some interesting stuff lately. Anyone here ever try Innis & Gunn . Pretty pricey. So far only found it at craft store by single bottle. Almost $100 a case that way. $4x24. Imported from Scotland. They have 4 different varieties. Original,Smoke & Gunn, Rum Aged And Whiskey finished. So far iv tried the Rum Aged and the original. I can get it more reasonable by the whole case ,closer to $60.
About 7% ABV
You really know your beer JF.
I've spent a good deal of time on BeerAdvocate, and I don't think a one of them is seasoning their wood 3 years.I wonder if the firewood advice on Beer Advocate is as good as the beer advice on Hearth
