Sold out everywhere. SMH.

Lol at one of the comments on that article.

"Scientists recently discovered that beer contains small traces of female hormones. This was proven by giving 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that an astonishing percentage, 100%, started talking nonsense and couldn’t drive."

Well, I was saying it as in I figure it's sold out everywhere by now.

There's no real chance that it's actually available somewhere, IS there?

I really don't want to go on a hunt right now, and I can't anyway since we're having a family dinner tonight.

There's a brewfest coming up February 23 here and Dropkick Murphys are playing at it.

Annnd, I have to miss it.

A fine choice.

This is the first time Westy 12 has ever been sold in the US? I find that difficult to believe, as I bought one at my local beer store in Vancouver in summer 2011 and drank it on NYE. I know it's rare, but there had to be others popping up in North America from time to time. Perhaps this is the first time they're "officially" exporting it, as my beer store only said they had "legally procured" the Westy's from Belgium.

Was it very, very, very good and worth trying at least once? Yes.
Was it significantly better than Rochefort 10 (which is much easier to find and less than half the price)? No.

Whadda y'all havin' for Xmas?

While in Portland last week, I bought a bottle of Pliny the Elder, which is also on the "best beers" shortlist. Also picked up a Lucky Basartd; I'm a big fan of Stone's Arrogant Bastard.

It's very annoying that California breweries like Stone and Russian River aren't available in Western Canada.

I think I'll be picking up some Lagunitas Brown Sugga for Xmas. So good, and the 9.9% ABV is a great bonus.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Stoked to find that Yardhouse out here has Tripel Karmeliet and St Bernardus Abt 12

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

St. Bernardus is delicious.

Don't know what I'm having for Christmas just yet. Gotta talk to my bro about it and see what we should get. I think I had the Rochefort 10 for NYE last year. Might have been the other one though. Isn't there an "8" too?

DJ, to my knowledge this was the first time it was available. I don't know. I'm only a relatively new craft beer guy.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I'll have to check out that Rochefort 10.

Is that the Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale?

Sucks was the '11 replacement for Shugga but Shugga is back for 2012.

Sucks was really good last year though and there are rumblings that it's going to become a normal brew. That'd be awesome, both Sucks and Shugga this winter. :drool:

I hope this doesn't fall under the category of politics, & if it is considered so please delete this post mods...& please accept my apologies. I found this to be pretty cool.
