Beer?

[theclaud]

I'm still resistant to drinking beer out of cans. Does that make me quaint or out of touch...

...it's a rhetorical question

Dammit. Headed off at the pass.

I may be an old fool but...

...I thought 'quaint' might default to daffodil.

Kelpie. Scottish seaweed ale. I believe it's been mentioned before. A pleasant, malty, porterish affair. There's a bit of a salty tang but I was hoping for a bolder seaweediness.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Seaweediness, ridiculous language, I'd never partake of such stoopification to that low a level.

A curious list of "white whale" beers - the rarest of the rare and pretty damn expensive. Mainly Belgian sours and American barrel-aged stuff. I think I may have tasted one - Stormnaktsporter from Narke - but not entirely sure.

I know very vaguely someone who got a bottle of "Dave" recently (no. 2 in the list): 2000 USD!! Utterly bonkers.

Finally got my sweaty paws on a bottle of "Armand'Spirit".

Last year, a thermostat blew at the 3 Fonteinen brewery ruining a shed load of beer. Rather enterprisingly, they decided to distill it down to an eau de vie.

Well, well - it's pretty damn good!

Realized at the weekend that this bottle is still at the back of the cupboard.

Just Goog'd White Whale Beers, something I'd not heard of. I've got some more 'regular' beers I'd like to try before that lot. The Fin du Monde or the Pliny's for eg.

I'm sure there's a short story taking that (everyone brewing beer) as a starting point. I'll try to recall where I heard it.
