Beers of Interest...

[txmatt]

We have some decent discussion on beers here, recently the Dogfish Head. I have the 365 days of beer Page-A-Day calendar this year. Every now and then I save a page and place it into a pile of beers I think would be worth trying or pages I know I like. I signed up for the free electronic version of the calendar today (only 3 months into it), I figure I will share some of the in this thread.

URTHEL HIBERNUS QUENTUM ALE
Brewed in Ruiselede, Flanders, Belgium

A perfect combination of light but feisty maltiness and suavely delivered high-octane alcohol (9%/vol.) set the stage for this fine ale. Its bright, sweet yeast taste seeps pleasurably deep into the tongue. The beautiful, hazy, peach-colored body is an appropriate visual companion for the thick, off-white head. The surprise appearance of a natural sweetness reminiscent of new-growth twigs makes it seem as if the flavors are ripening with every sip. This is an outstanding triple ale.

If you want to try some of these beers you need to sign up for M. Jacksons beer of the month club. It is a little pricy but you get beers that aren't in the US. Some guys in my homebrew club get this and have shared, some of the beers are incredible and even with our great micrbrews, the flavors are not found in the US.

Cheers!
George

Of the ones that you find you want to try, does it tell you how to obtain it? I guess you could always find it online. I don't know anything about ordering liquors and wines and such from other countries. Can you do it, legally anyway?

I know there's some states here that you can't ship any sort of liquor products from or get any liquor shipped into (is that still true?), don't know if the same is true for other countries. Virginia used to be one of the states that you couldn't ship into didn't it? I guess when you think about it, it's kinda like getting cuban cigars into a country where it's against the law.

I guess I could just sign up for the calendar..

I tried some Killians last night, not too bad but I still cannot stand beer...

[Ms. Floydp]

guess I have to go and buy the calendar first..

DON'T THEY GIVE AWAY ANYTHING ANYMORE??? LOL

Thanks George, I'm going to look into that. It might be something we do in the future, right now we're concentrating on building up a good stock pile of cigars. The herf made Frank and I both want some pretty expensive smokes. Hemingway short story..mmmmmm, love the size and taste of that little booger!!

lol...it wasn't too long that I remember praising "the beast"...just a few short years ago when I was in college, a case of Milwakees Best cost under $10, no questions asked. That brew and Mickey's Malt liquor got me through many-a-cram sessions late at night

Has anyone here had Caffrey's Irish Ale? They don't import it anymore but it is still my favorite "beer". I had as much as I could on my last trip to England and still find myself constantly longing for it. Good stuff!

There is a good one you can get in the us called wexford cream ale. use to be made in wexford ireland but now made in britian.

it only comes in the tall cans and has the widget inside to give it a ready creamy head like a guiness.

if you cant get any, i can get my hands on a few cans.

THANKS GEORGE!

I am now officially on the hunt!

My favorite beer is the one in my hand.

I drink them all from Avery "the beast" 20+% alcohol to bud light and anything I can get my hands on in between.

Caffreys is one of my favorite beers! I'm fairly postitive you can still get it here. Do you like Worthingtons as well?

Jeff,

I can't get Caffrey's anywhere anymore. Are you sure you can still get them!? If so, WE NEED TO TALK!

Otherwise, I do like Worthington's as well as Smithwick's and a few others. Nothing has come close though to my long-lost Caffrey's.

I think the importer quit carrying it last year. Should be impossible to find in the States although I did hear a rumour that it may be brought back.

I am almost positive you can order beer and wine and ship it to VA, you cannot do that with liquor because it is regulated and sold by the state of VA.
