what are you drinking right now ?

[Adam]

These are real Belgium ales.

La Chouffe is a real Belgian ale, too.

Btw, "Belgian" is an adjective..."Belgium" is a place.

 

[Swerd]

My two standard standby beers are Sam Adams and Stella Artois. When all else fails, get Sam & Stella.

Montgomery County, MD has some archaic liquor selling laws, so I have to go into DC or Virginia to find the good Belgians. But Sam & Stella are every where.

I can also get Dogfish Head Ale locally. Love their IPA 60.

Go easy on him Adam, he's a "Floridian"... from a place called Florida.

What, are you going to sick Steve on me?

I said that I tried Chimay again because of you. Better than I remembered, but I just don't happen to like it as well as La Chouffe.

Well I could use the practice

Been a long time since I've had a chance to swing the Ban Hammer. I'm getting rusty.

How did you miss a swing at the Russian spammers? They were like fish in a barrel for a while there.

Do you ever go to Rodmans? They've got a wider selection than the county liquor stores; I can at least find my usual suspects there (Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Spaten Optimator, Dogfish 90 Min IPA, and their Indian Brown Ale). There's a location at White Flint, so it might save you a little time on your beer runs

MERICA! Go easy on Floridians... you snobs are afraid to admit it, but nothing beats a cold PBR!!

BTW - we had the Beer, Bourbon, and BBQ event in Tampa over the weekend. I went VIP because there was supposed to be a bacon tasting, a world champion demonstrating whole hog and other things for the elite stupid enought to fork over the money for a VIP ticket. It was a not as advertised, but I certainly did get my drink on. I'm a wine and tequila guy, but certainly took advantage of all the "cool" guy beers with the "cool" names.

Once the general population showed up, the f-tard level increased exponentially every 15 minutes or so, but while not a beer guy... I really dug the Chimay and drank my $75 ticket worth of that all by itself.

I haven't been to Rodman's in quite a while. I didn't even know they were at White Flint (WF Plaza?). I'll have to remember that.

About 2 or 3 times a year, I have to spend an afternoon over in Fairfax, VA where my company's main office is located. Just down the road from them is a Total Wine & Beverage store. It is a grocery store sized liquor store where you push a grocery cart up & down the aisles. I think they carry every type of foreign and domestic beer available in the US.

 

[ImcLoud]

I am drinking Verners ginger ale {if you never tried it and like ginger soda its a must}....

Yeah there's a shopping center in front of the mall (what's left of it) off Nicholson Ln. There's another location not too far off from me on Randolph road which is a bit bigger (at least it feels bigger since the White Flint location is a bit narrow).

Total Wine rules!!!

I can't walk in that place and spend under $100.

This dear friends is the word of a true expert, a man from Florida, who knows where to find the best ale house in Newport, Oregon… Rogue Ales

 

[lsiberian]

Founders Double Trouble. I've not been in a store that beats my Specs they took over an old grocery store and filled it with liquor, wine and beer. They have guys that are seasoned drinkers for each area too.

Only if you know what you want. Don't dare ask one of the clowns for a recommendation. They know nothing about wine and have talking points that they have to learn about certain bottles. It's comical.

 

[majorloser]

I know what I want most of the time when it comes to wine. I like Cali cabs and French reds when I can afford them. I use Wine Spec for reviews. My local store is only a couple miles from home. It also happens to be next door to a World of Beers. Try beers in one place and buy in the other.
