Sipping a glass (actually, the glass is a Belgian beer chalice from St Bernardus) of Maredsous, a superb Abbey beer, a classic Belgian tripel.

Although if I'm speaking of East Coast breweries, I loved this one. Like the Blue Moon but not as filtered.
Annnnnd added to my must try list!!!
I use a Locksmart Mini bluetooth padlock I bought from bestbuy a year ago, to limit myself to only two glasses of wine per day. With the iOS app, In the owner account I created a ten min window of opertunity at 4pm. And also a ten min window of opertunity at midnight. I then sent this schedule my guest account. With the guest account I can't change anything. I only get to open the padlock. I was drinking 4 glasses of wine per day. But with this padlock I've only been drinking 2 glasses of wine per day.

Leaving the small matter of padlocks aside (I'll admit readily that it is not a concept that remotely appeals, but each to their own), what sort of wine do you like to drink?
Tonight, I returned to Belgium, specifically, to St Bernardus.
My first beer was the legendary quadrupel, the St Bernardus Abt 12, served - naturally enough - in a St Bernardus beer glass chalice.
And my second, came from the same stable, a St Bernardus Prior 8, also served in a St Bernardus beer glass chalice.

Whose doing dark lord day?
And KBS is drinking great this year. Warmed up with that and finished off with some top notchv double IPAs grilling up some steaks on this beautiful spring day.

So good I want another tonight. Small or big bottle is the question. Proper glassware is s must.
I'm thinking small since I just fell down the stairs.

Ah. I don't have the proper KBS goblets, or chalices, but I do have a set of splendid Belgian ones (St Bernardus, Chimay, Trappistes Rochefort, and a few others) and they will happily do duty as required.
Good manners preclude me from enquiring further into your unfortunate encounter with gravity, but I hope you are fine.
I actually slid fairly gracefully down the stairs with a glass of orange soda in my hand. Spilling just a drop. That could of been a mess.
Only Ended up with a little rug burn. Thanks for the concern.
Edit: and I really like this years glass, the gold one. Much newer than the last couple.
I would love to do Dark Lord Day, however I am on the other side of the states. Ugh. Right now, the east coast and upper midwest are killing it right now!
Dark Lord Day is 3 Floyds Brewery release party for their Dark Lord Imperial Stout. The day is marked with purchasing a ticket for $180. With the ticket, you get 4 bottles of the DLIS! Along with a vintage and variant bottle. I want to say this is the only time and place you can get that beer! Yeah, I just confirmed, this beer is only released once a year. Dark Lord Day!
And, as an Imperial Stout - how does it rank with other (really good) Imperial stouts?
Sounds like great idea and a terrific way to spend a day.
I have never had it, although it is on my bucket list of beers to get. If you go to any of the beer rating websites, it usually has a very high 90's to 100 rating. If, and that is a big IF you can find someone willing to part with it, you will be spending a lot of money to get it. Like I mentioned it is on my bucket list!!
Good idea, I have a bottle waiting on me later on, as of right now, a cup of Kenyan coffee.
Tonight, Founder's have been called upon to do the needful, and thus, (into a Belgian glass beer chalice) a bottle of Founder's "Backwoods Bastard" has just been poured.
My second beer of the night is also from Founder's - their excellent Breakfast Oatmeal Stout.
Double IPA, 75 IBU, 9.5% ABV
Citrus, orange, malty background, wicked hoppy, sweet up front, long bitter finish, burnt orange cloudy pour.
