TLDR Beer Club

D'oh, that's right. At least I remembered it was close to Chicago.

In any case Dreadnaught is a great beer.

so usually im not too big a fan of what i think are light, belgian-ish ales (i do enjoy an occassional trippelbock though), but i haven't disliked any Lagunitas beer yet, so i decide to pick up a 22 oz. of this.

it's 6.6% abv i believe.

crisp malt flavor, pretty sweet, but well balanced with mild hop flavors. it's like a hoppier, sweeter belgian, but not... not really easy to classify as any one type of beer, but it was really a nice change of pace from IPAs, double IPAs, stouts and porters.

i give it a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and 3/4 out of 5, which is really good because i don't think i'll ever be able to give this style of beer a full 5.

quick question, does anyone know if you can get dieu du ciel in the states? the spelling might be a bit wrong but that's the gist of the name, and it's brewed out of montreal.

[Keystone]

So today I drank Keystone Premium (red box) instead of Keystone Light (blue box) and I have to say it tasted phenomenal.

snowden,

Check out Unibroue's site and see if its one of theirs.

Inspired by this article, my friend treated a small gathering to our first beer floats.

The choices were Lindemans framboise or Lindemans peche. I opted for the framboise, mainly because I recently enjoyed a peche.

All were well pleased with their decadent summer treats. As stated by the author of the article, the framboise float was vibrant and refreshing.

Come wintertime, I'm certain we will give the Bell Expedition Stout float a try.

Nope, dieu du ceil is a beer company in motreal and is not unibroue, it is also not don de dieu, although that is a pretty tasty beer, but not as good as the maudite, fin du monde, or trois pistoles. Unibroue makes some pretty awesome beer, although I would stay away from the ephemere cassis.

I recently tried Leghumper Porter and I am floored. Excellent beer. It tasted like grape juice.

I'm bumping this because I'm now your latest overlord. I believe my course of celebration will be obvious...
