The Beer Thread

Because we like to be nude on a beach, and we couldn't get rid of the other people who were there.

Yes, the topless beaches have much better eye candy than the full nudity beaches.

How about a nude wine fest? Probably still mostly naked guys and their fat wives, based on my own experiences with nude beaches.

Not me. I am guessing it will be mostly dudes there.  I hate seeing nude guys at the gym.  I don't want to see them while I am enjoying a beer.



How many "nude" beaches have you been to? I haven't been to any really, but many topless beaches in Europe or maybe that's just the norm… but the women there were neither fat nor ugly…



Christ… why on earth would you go to the US nude beaches? No wonder you saw some nasty danglers.

The poor guy: to think he could've been drinking gin and tonics the entire time…
I bet James is hung like a dung beetle.

I was thinking what a loser.  Drinking 10,000 beers is cool but rating them all on some lame website seems like he is just drinking beer so he can post it on a lame website. 

I only drink Gin and Tonics before boarding an airlplane.

FTFY
Gin is one booze I never liked all too much… I think in my teens we abused it too much to ever like it again.
Drinking a growler of New Belgium Gruit.  Actually pretty tasty.  Hated the dogfish head gruit I drank before but this stuff I recommend highly.
Try the New Belgium La Folie. It's a Flanders Oude Bruin. Maybe the best one out there. Now that's one tasty beer.
well that's two beers i'll be picking up this weekend.
La Folie is an excellent beer. Had it last year and this year. Both were very, very good.

I'll be laughing my head off when you have malaria.
cracked open a 2014 parabola tonight…. and damn, that's a fine beer.

i've only had it one other time, i aged a 2013 and opened it back in february, and i said "what's all the fuss about?".  but as it goes with cellaring, sometimes your bottles just don't hold up or develop like you hoped.

contrarily, i think sucaba needs time. give it one year? i basically turn into barney.

Taking notes on this, as I now have one of each from 2013.  ;D

Wonder how the Double DBA ages?

opinions vary. all about personal preference.  i tend to to enjoy my imperial stouts hot and my BA barleywines aged. i don't really love DDBA, only had it fresh and it was too sweet for me. it'll only get sweeter as time goes by.

i had a 2011 abacus last month and it tasted no different than the 2013 sucaba i had a week ago.
I guess I should drink my 13' bottles of Parabola…

oh neat, bluejacket/hardywood made an imperial azacca-hopped IPA.  let me know if any of you try it, i just brewed with this hop. 

i would also definitely make it out for the kuhnhenn BA barleywine.

remind me to visit DC next year for the week leading up to savor…
