And same here, in my student and er, early, (not so early) postgrad days.
Five pints was a good normal night out.
These days, I struggle to sip, sample, and savour more than two beers.
An excellent photo.
Good enough for a stock image.
Ah, wonderful.
Hope that you enjoyed them.
My father-in-law passed away last week; Dos Equis was his favorite beer. I cant tell you how many bottles we went through over the years. This one's for Larry!
My condolences; be kind to yourselves.
I'll raise a glass of Something Nice to the pair of you, and to your wife who is probably hurting, as well.

Christmas Lego and the football.
About to enjoy my second of this 10% ABV triple IPA from Equilibrium. Only thing makin' it better are the Texans beatin' down Joe Fluko and the Browns
Hero shot for Jane.
Edit: Went down nicely and very quickly.
"Juiced up 'n ready to roll" with the Barclays premier league and Elvis Juice.

Timber Ales Daydreams at Dusk; this DIPA hits hard. All Galaxy hops, one of my favorites.

Oooooh.
Genuine Trappist beer, Achel beer; wonderful.
I can well imagine that it must have been an excellent beer; I'm impressed and envious and assume that you thoroughly enjoyed it.
First snow of the year going on out there; seems good to bust out a stout for the evening. Timber Ales 'French Toast by Campfire'. Its quite good
It was excellent. Sadly it's no longer a true trappist beer since the monks have all retired and since last year they no longer brew it at the abbey
It still tastes good though
Ah, yes.It was excellent. Sadly it's no longer a true trappist beer since the monks have all retired and since last year they no longer brew it at the abbey
I had read that Achel had recently lost its "Trappist" designation even though it still brews beer to the Trappist standard.
Where is it brewed?
I daresay that they should (still) be able to market it as "Abbey style" beer, or Trappist style beer.
This is one of the (formerly) Trappist beers that is not as widely available as some of the others.
Excellent.It still tastes good though
I'm still envious and impressed.
It's still brewed in the abbey in the place called Hamont-Achel, and it definitely still is a trappist style beer. But since calling it 'trappist' is a protected term only for beers brewed in an abbey under the monks watch, you can't officially call it a real trappist beer anymore ever since they sold the brewer to a regular company last year. They also can't use the trappist logo.
If I recall correctly they underwent a rebrand in november and redesigned their bottles and removed any mention of it having been a trappist beer
Ah, yes, I do recall that specific requirements exist if you wish to be able to describe the beer you brew as "Trappist".It's still brewed in the abbey in the place called Hamont-Achel, and it definitely still is a trappist style beer. But since calling it 'trappist' is a protected term only for beers brewed in an abbey under the monks watch, you can't officially call it a real trappist beer anymore ever since they sold the brewer to a regular company last year. They also can't use the trappist logo.

However, the removal of that label (and the retention of brewing standards) shouldn't prevent Achel from being able to describe themselves as an "Abbey" style beer.
Nevertheless, I am very sorry to see the ranks of the true Trappist beers (and they are superb beers) depleted, or reduced, in any way.
Two of my favourite German brewers, Mönchhof Landbier (although their regular pils is even better) in a Rothaus glass. I went to the Rothaus brewery last summer and their giftshop was awesome, but the smell of the brewery was even better!
Have you ever tried the, ah, more robust version, namely, Guinness Foreign Extra?
Not my pic but it is what I'm drinking.
