Love that sub

OEC's online store, still available. They still have a good bunch of B. United import swag for sale, some is "out of stock" but it doesn't show that until you click the item page.

and i've got an irrational fear of tipping them over every time i grab for the glass

can't convince my brain that they aren't trick wobble glasses or something

I'm the same way with stem glasses, since I have broken several

One of the weirder places in Belgium, serving a tasty Oud Bruin blended with sour Kriekenbier.

Sweet glass, reminds me of when Jmu500 traded me some Plan B  RIP

Dusted off this glass, it’s been... 10 years maybe?
The beer is ok, it has a nice balsamic quality, a little too sweet for me.

That was my very first sour. Bought it off the shelf without any prior research, probably because the label is beautiful. I remember the "I don't know what this is, but I like it" reaction

Cool! It was an early one for me too, and still is pretty unique in the scheme of things.

I looked at the Vienna glass at Half Acre, printing looked a little cheap imho. I think it's a reprint batch.

This is a nice one from Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam. Int'l. shipping is nuts, don't see myself getting this one.

The Ommegang was pretty good, an interesting blend of "oud bruin", "kriek", and a cherry beer that sat in sherry barrels for a long time. Didn't get any oud bruin, and their source for kriek is Liefmans, who only makes a cherry beer (mixed ferm). Fairly vinous, bright with lactic tartness. Tiny bit of Brett as it warmed up.

But was it super krieky?

Winking Lizard has a beer tour and if you finish it they invite you to a party with tons of food and beer. They had tubs of this beer available. I drank so much of it, then they sent me home with armfuls. Love it.

Nice! I made a case disappear over the last couple months

A late summer ode to drinking from a krug



Seemed more appropriate for this thread. I highly endorse this practice... stoneware krugs keep beer colder longer, and you do get a little bit of cool air wafting up from the mug. Also good for coffee, works both ways as an insulator.

It’s good, but probably from last year as the code suggested. Makes me want a hefe with a lemon on the patio at Resi’s.

[beastiefan2k]

awww, a great time to have an Aventinus glass.

[beastiefan2k]

this is one of my fav glasses. It was made for a beer fest that took place in StL in 2003.

I never lived in StL, never been to this fest, never even heard of this fest, and just started drinking craft beer.  But in 2008 I saw this glass at a beer tasting. The owner of the glass did not want to trade me. So, I went Ratebeer and found another person with this glass.  I traded for it and have held on to it for over a decade despite numerous moves. It also continues to be common in my rotation of glasses that I actually drink from.

Something about that glass design always seemed odd to me, the shape I guess. I rarely use a weizen glass but that one is an old one from the Hacker-Pschorr Braürosl Oktoberfest tent.

  Love stoneware and mugs, don't buy much glassware anymore, but make the rare exception for unique things in those categories.

Best thing I did was buy a couple krugs from Quenchers Saloon (1979-2018) when they closed down.

Ugh, I forgot Quenchers closed. Map Room without the hype (and with more elbow room).

Placeholder for the Westmalle Dubbel in the fridge. But first I need to thoroughly wash the dust off the Westmalle chalice... talk about a glass I never use.

Dark mahogany, a compact layer of tan foam that recedes to a patchy skim. In the light it has a dark reddish glint to it, good clarity. Aroma is the highlight, vinous and nutty, trappist yeast esters. Red grapes, dates, and toasted nuts. Malty and yeast forward with some grape juice, nutty malt complexity, and mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Fairly astringent, feels a bit thin as a result. Coarse carbonation. Overall it’s ok but could use more body and creaminess.
