I stumbled upon a  750 of Rodenbach Caractère Rouge and had to have it, even though it was entirely too much money on it.  Made the second Alexander I bought seem like a steal.

those typically run for about $30, whole foods foggy bottom had some for what seemed like forever (actually they might still have some, haven't checked recently).  hopefully you didn't pay more than that…

I saw it listed for 16 euros at a beer store in Italy I'll be at later this year. Might have to bring a couple of those babies home!

Though truth be told, I think I like the Vintage and Grand Cru better (Rouge might be too sweet (?)). Haven't cracked an Alexander yet.

I never saw them at the P Street Whole Foods.  I picked mine up when I was in CA.  $28.00 before tax, which definitely feels steep.

If you're still talking about Caractere Rouge, there's some at a couple of the TW's in VA for $30. There's also some at my local Whole Foods for about the same.

I managed to get a couple of 32 oz growler fills of it for about $17 each a while ago.

I snickered when I saw Port City's IPA (49th percentile overall and 30th percentile for style in ratebeer) listed first. Then I snickered some more when I saw Rebel IPA included. Who made this thing up, Hutch?  :D

I am not sure why, but that has always buged me a little

I understand the devout pilgrim and those who abstain for health reasons

but I never understood his gripe with the drink
as he attends so many parties and has lavish bars at every one of his hotels and golf clubs

Does the inner circle also abstin in his presence
Although Bannon I take for brown liquor

heads-up:

Craft Brewers Conference
April 10-13
Washington, D.C.

there are always a bunch of peripheral events: tap take-overs, meet-the-brewer, special tappings, beer dinners, etc.
