Beer, football, and a comfy couch (not pictured). Hope you're having as wonderful a Sunday as I am, my friends
Went to a really nice specialty beer and wine shop, 'Kroon & Kurk'. They have a really nice selection of all sorts of beers and I was recommended a few beers by the owner.
This one was a tripel from Maastricht he really liked and which won a few prizes some years ago. It has a really nice spicy feeling in the back of my throat, don't know where that comes from but it tastes very nice.
Also bought some other beers, I'll post 'em when I drink 'em!
I just noticed your post, you got it at Lidl right? I've recently found out that they're selling Lidl's cheapest own beer at a huge markup in the US
13 dollar for a pack of six 500ml bottles made me laugh out loud since they sell it in Germany for around €2,50-3 for a pack of six (they even have them in plastic bottles!) That said, I actually think the beer is an insanely good value for the price since they still brew according to the reinheitsgebot. Compare that to the cheapest beer they sell in the Netherlands where they actually add in caramel colouring to make it look like beer, and it'll seem like an impossibility for the price.Anyways, I've tried out Gajes (Bargoens word for 'thugs' or 'hoodlums') which I've also bought at the speciality beer store. Very nice hoppy tripel, more IPA in taste than a tripel but certainly a nice mix.
With coriander as well, so I guess for some people this makes it taste even more soapy than an IPA already is! I don't have that issue with hops or cilantro but I know my dad does
Indeed I did! Can’t remember what I paid for it - I only got the 1 can. Was good though
Yum.
I love those specialty wine and beer shops.
Do enjoy; this is a beer I have never encountered.
Fine indeed! Very happy that Lawson's is in distro in Virginia now.
I can never gwt enough Ghost in my life
Contrary to what the glass says, I'm actually enjoying a Westmalle Tripel right now. Although I should try to find some Tripick as I don't recall the beer (or how this glass ended up in its cabinet)
Westmalle Tripel is a superb beer, - do enjoy - and the (appropriate) glass/chalice is a gloriously chunky glass goblet.
Out at Flying Ace Farm Brewery. Black Forest Stout on the right, 10% ABV, Oatmeal Raisin Stout on the left, 13% ABV. Both delicious
