Now - Firestone Walker Abacus - Really tasty barley wine style ale.

Soon - going to brave that Cantillion Gueze. Hopefully, its not nearly as horrible as the other one was.

if you like sours cantillon gueze is up there. i'd say top 3 gueze for me. nice funky brett on the nose and tongue. sourness doesnt overpower. really quite delicious.

It wasn't nearly as awful as the rose gueze, but it was still pretty awful. Just blew $30 on that experiment. FML.

i guess different strokes for different people. 30 is a lot tho if you got that small bottle. i think i paid 15

$10 for the small rose guese and $20 for the bomber of classic gueze

Had a Petrus Aged Ale and a Rodenbach Classic at a local bar. I prefer the former (which I'd had before and really like). Am digging the sour beers lately--I've never really gone the gueze route, but I suppose that's the next step.

Brute is delicious.

Drinking a Zombie Dust now. it smells a lot better than it tastes. I don't get the obsession with Citra hops I guess.

 

[Rambo]

or fresh hops, for that matter. all these fresh hop ale's clogging up the shelves now.

I finally had Fat Tire out in Cali a couple weeks ago. Very tasty... I really enjoy an amber ale but it's unavailable here in Ohio or in Kentucky just to the south. Guess I'll need a visit to Indiana to quench my thirst next time! Also, just had my first pint of this year's Great Lakes Brewery (Cleveland, OH) Christmas Ale...also one of my faves that I hadn't had on tap in many, many years. Anyone else here a fan?

Regular drink of choice at home is BrewDog Punk IPA, or at the moment, Negro Modelo (which was surprisingly nice).

Thinking Abbaye de St Bon Chien tonight. Deciding whether to pair dessert with CBS, Barrel Aged Old Stock or Parabola. Tough decisions.
