What is the coolest or your favorite beer that you have ever tried?

Madame Rose, last night. I don't know much about Belgian styles, but it may be worth branching out. I will at least be trying more of this style, that is for sure.

 

No doubt about it, this was the most interesting, downright delicious beer I've ever had.

 

Not a stout catagory.....PBR 36 degrees....had a great dales pale ale... But it was about 38 Fahrenheit. Not.

 

(Angels singing my name)

 

1st would be all of the beers I have had at the Michigan Summer Beer Festival the past 2 years. Livery BB everything was amazing, Dark Horse tent was ridiculous, the list goes on.
2nd would be CBS. Cracked a bottle on my parents back deck that has a nature park behind it, a couple deer strolled by, perfect michigan fall evening.

 

Where the trees are the right height. Cheers

 

2010 jw lees calvados barrel was quite impressive the first time, and I was blown away the first time I had abyss and black butte 23rd anniversary.

 

Probably the first IPA that I brewed at home. It was great, and I was able to share plenty of bottles with friends and family. I am looking to ramp up production within the next couple of weeks. My plan is to have 2-3 5 gallon batches going every month.

 

My beers were cool before your beers. My beers are so cool, your beers want to be my beers.

 

2003 Ommegang Three Philosophers (in 2010)- best beer I've ever had!!!
2004 Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock (in 04 and 2010 as well)
GI BCBVS
GI Rare
GI KH
Bootleggers Knucklesandwich
2010 Bruery Saison Rue
The first... and every DFH Palo Santo I've ever had!

 

Back when I was in college... you were cool if you bought this...

Dead freakin' serious. That's how sad those days of craft beer were, lol.

Also, life of the party:

 

Now: to be cool... you bring this...

 

Maybe the 2001 Dogfish Head World Wide Stout I had in 2009. It was a confirmation of sorts that some American brews can go the distance. There are loads of other contenders.

 

I really love Flower Power. It's one of a very few beers I can get my hands on here less than a week old, and when it's that fresh the nose and taste is everything I could ever want in an IPA. Plus it's an NY beer and that adds a little bit of ferocity to my loyalty. I buy it by the case.

Probably the "coolest" was the bottle of Bourbon County Rare I split with one friend the night before I moved out of my childhood home.

It feels freaking great to say that Ive had BCBS.

 

Mine was a 2007. What year was yours?

 

09. had it about 3 weeks ago.

 

Ha! Is there such a thing as a bad drop of BCBS?

 

idk. It was up there in top tier of BA stouts with BA Sexual Chocolate and BA Blackout

 

Coolest?

Mine would have to be the homemade ST Choklat-sicles that I made....

Ermagherd!!!

 

Utopias

 

Big fan here. What year's?

 

I have a 2007, 2011

 

My favorite is a recent taste, Society and Solitude #5..... Coolest beer would be a tie between Pliny straight from the Brew Pub, or a '06 Speedway Stout in 2010.

 

My favorite is not a whale, in fact, it's fairly common. But I love it:

Dogfish Head My Antonia.

This requires some background. I spent the Spring semester of 2009 in Slovakia. Over there, I acquired a taste for pilsners. Still, the variety of beer was largely lacking, so I longed for American hop flavors. Before returning, I told my parents to have a sixer of St. Arnold Elissa IPA waiting and they did, and I loved it. Still, after a time I started longing for a fresh pilsner taste over here, and that was harder to find (bottled Pilsner Urquell is good, but not as good as all of the on-tap Czech pilsners I had over there).

Fast forward to New York City, December 2010. I was living there after college and would frequent the Whole Foods in Bowery. Stumbled on DFH My Antonia and bought it because it sounded good. Needless to say, I was thoroughly impressed. That beer married an American hop profile with a fresh European pilsner flavor I had grown to love- it fulfilled my two most common beer cravings. Still love that beer today.

 

I'm blown away that you have Tame Impala as your avatar...amazing band!!! Black Butte 23 was fantastic! Love the combo of flavors in that one.

 

Drinking homebrew is pretty cool.

I also had Cantillon at the brewery and Pliny at the brewery, those were both pretty cool.

 

Surprise tapping of CBS at a bar in Cambridge last year... yup, that was pretty cool. Sampling a few coolships right out of the barrels at Allagash, also pretty cool. Of course, I'll never forget the first time I had this:

 

No question, the coolest beer I ever had was the first beer I ever had...I think I was 15(?).
it was Beast Light.
and warm, which makes it that much cooler.

 

Fou Foune on cask. The wife and I just got back from Belgium and Moeder Lambic had it. It was unreal.

 

Was just there myself and drank the hell out of the Fou Foune. Snuck in the odd Mamouche too. Bliss.

 

Coolest experiences:
Brabantiae
3F Oude Geuze Vintage 2002

 

Lagunitas sucks, or Celebration ale. Hands down, top favorites.

 

I'll be so sad when its gone.

 

Had all these for the first time on my first trip to Amsterdam: Westy 8, Westy 12, Pliny, Heady Topper.

Gonna be hard to top that day. One is now my favorite, and they were all extremely "cool" to experience, especially in that city.

 

That was a killer tasting and AB Zhukov and T25 were my favs of the night.

Edit:
Unknown Soldier was certainly one of the most mind blowing brews I've ever tasted. So interesting. 1414 was one of the most perfect and King Henry was one of the most anticipated and it still exceeded my expectations. Finally, Jackie O's Dark Robustic #1 made me fall in love.

 

Allagash COOLship is clearly the coolest beer I have ever had.

 

I'm digging that picture!
