Just opened a bottle of Trappistes Rochefort 10.....a Belgian classic "quadrupel" beer and poured it into a Westmalle beer chalice.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

I have just opened a bottle of St Bernardus, Pater 6, a Belgian classic.

Sipping a St Bernardus Pater 6.

Well… yeah…

Dry January isn't going well.

At least the glasses are "dry".

I think "dry January" was invented by masochists, "self-sufferers" as a foreign colleague on an election monitoring mission once phrased it, a term I liked so much, I now use it myself.

A beer has been poured - St Bernardus Pater 6.

Oh, I thought that was some kind of commentary on the weather ...

No drinking? I'll get right on that.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Sipping an IPA.

A St Bernardus Abt 12 - a classic Belgian quadrupel.

I raise a glass to the good health of Mr Biden and his administration.

Belgian beers - a quad or two - St Bernardus Abt 12 - this evening.

I have not tried Flying Dog beer, but

the label art is gonzo awesome. (Ralph Steadman illustrated Fear and Loathing and other books by the Late Great Hunter S. Thompson.)

It's very good, I was originally interested in it by the Steadman artwork too. I have a (Steadman) signed copy of Curse of Lono

Picked up a __gaggle__ of one of my favorite bourbons, when it's on this special (at the local grocery liquor store, comes up every 2 or 3 months ...), bang-for-the-buck? It has no match on this planet

 

[Scepticalscribe]

A pair of Belgian beers from St Bernardus: Pater 6, and Abt 12.

A couple of faves, __extremely__ different. 102 IBUs, hahaha, yes, it IS Hop Stoopid ...

I was stuck in an airport, from a deeply-delayed flight that meant it was just easier for me to spend the night there. So I went to a bar, that would be closing soon, and asked for a good rye. The guy handed me a double Bulleit. Damn but that stuff is fine.

I've sampled, savoured, sipped, some beers from Lagunitas, some of which were very good (a dark beer - the exact nae of which I cannot recall - comes to mind).

Currently sipping a St Bernardus Pater 6.
