all you fancy world travelers.. gettin in your flying machines, and goin from time zone to time zone.. what ever happened to just driving up to the local bar for a good beer..?

bigjohn

Last time I checked, bigwill was not at my local bar.

I don't like those flying contraptions.

Just to clarify - I have a keg of XX LAGER not XX AMBER Lager. I'm fixin' to go buy a bushel of limes and a side of carne asada for your visit, Tom. If you like avocados and insanely hot chili, let me know - I'll load up the gat and head into the barrio for the absolute best avocado salsa (not guacamole!) on the planet.

Do you ship to Canada ?

OK.. that sound good.. i wanna come too!!

i had a sixer of the new belgium trippel last night.. my wife shuttled me the last two, so i had no idea how much effect they were having on me.. once i got up to 'relieve' myself, i felt the power of the brew.. knocked my shin on the coffee table, and my shoulder on the bathroom door.. thank you beer..

bigjohn

bigjohn, You had a SIXER of the Trippel?!?! I can't drink that much anymore without hating myself in the morning.

bigwill, you're making my mouth water. I prefer something on the safer side of "insane" relative to hot food, but I trust your judgement. I love avocados.

What did I just say?

You said, "Load up the gat and head down to the carneceria, fool!"

the Westmalle is good stuff! i had a couple of bottles of it 2 or 3 months ago. my favorite belgian is Grimbergen, and sadly the last time i had was when i was in Brugge for a liberty port. unfortunately no place in VA carries it, so i guess i'll have to break down and order it on the internet and pay out the nose for it and hope it's not bad by the time it gets here!

I can't believe somebody mentioned this beer! "a Westmalle Trippel, made by some Trappist monks in Belgium" It is the beer that I enjoyed most while in belgium. Very reserved people, but very very good beer.

Did you guys buy at a local liquor store? or order it?

Hi-Time Cellars in Costa Mesa has it in stock (along with many other rarely seen imports).
