The one and only 🍻 thread

Dedicated to the beers we have in our homes, or had on the road, or best we have ever known.

(( feel free to start parallel threads where "beers" is replaced by "wines", "meals", "chocolates", "lovers" (well maybe not the last one ) ))

In my bar fridge at the moment - mainly left overs from my birthday party - sorry the Chimey Red went fairly quickly - and yes there are two imposters (the ciders):

My latest love and addiction 😁

At the beginning I thought it was a mere marketing invention, or the artificial construction of a legend. Then, when I first tasted it I discovered it was a real work of art.

... discovered last weekend, just went back and bought the last ones ... hope they reorder before Father's Day !

And another view

And I agree with the "ideal for sharing - OR NOT"

Paolomariano pictured the new bottles from Westvleteren monastery.

Hereby a picture of two of my pearls I have in the basement, the Boon cherries is made with real lambic Gueuze and real cherries, look at the date! It tasted so good yesterday evening....

And the Westvleteren is about 14 ! years of age now stored in the old bottles (who I can throw away now, Westvleteren don't want the bottles in return any more. I drink little of this beer, found it a bit to much caramel added. But anyway it did win a whole lot of prizes around the world. I find myself very lucky not to live very far from Westvleteren 😁 . My summer favourite beer is the Boon cherries.

Nobody will EVER have me drink beer, sorry. 🙁

And I have tried many, believe me.

 

A nice single malt, a glass of one of our finest wines - I live in Burgundy - in front of my iMac, however, is a different story. 👍

"Believe nothing you read and only half of what you see, let your ears tell you the truth."

Chris, actually that was not the new bottle. It is just the bottle they use for the beer which is exported. The bottle they use for the beer which is sold at the monastery is the same as your bottle, even nowadays 🙂

Do you live near the monastery of Westvleteren?! You are really lucky! You can reserve the beer and get it for just a little bit more than 2.00 Euro a bottle. In Italy I need to pay 20,00 Euro, and I can get only a few... 😛
