That kind of surprises me, Kraftster because I would think that LFDM would be too bitter for your palate, even though I know it's less bitter than normal tripels and has more spice. I bought one bottle, took one sip, and couldn't go on because it's too powerful for me.Kraftster wrote:La Fin Du Monde is so excellent. The Troegs Scratch #82 (tripel) I had last night (x3) was a decent attempt and had a flavor profile similar to LFDM.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Yeah, I find LFDM to be an uncharacteristic tripel, i.e., if its your first tripel and you love it, you'll probably never find a better tripel.
Their website reports it at 35 IBU. That's a great range, I think. I can probably go up to 60 or so if the beer is well-balanced and not designed to be hop forward.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Christmas party at my family last night I had:
-Dogfish head 60 min (x4)
-Heady Topper
-Switchback Ale
-Sam Adam's Gingerbread Stout
New favorite IPA... Heady Topper from The Alchemist. Wow. Extremely floral and strong citrus flavors. Has that nice bitter bite to it as well. Definitely my new favorite IPA and probably new favorite beer.
Also had some Switchback Ale last night. It's not bad. Nothing overly exciting.
The Sam Adams Gingerbread Stout was good from what I can recall. I had a good bit of beer by that point. From what I recall, it's not nearly as sweet as I was expecting, but it did have that nice gingerbread smell and taste to it.

I just got off the phoe with one of my brothers and he was hyping up LFDM.
Weird.

Glad you got some. Did you drink it straight from the can?

Simon Girty is good. Almost has a bit of a wine taste... Really grew on me. The citrus/honey is noticeable... Not really getting the cocoa they say is in it.
4/4 with these guys so far.

So another day of waking up dehydrated.
What do you folks do to reduce the effects of dehydration? I saw a post by Lt. Dish last night where she downed a Gatorade and took some Excedrin as a 'Pre-emptive strike'.
Anyone else?

Similar. I'll drink some water or ginger ale before bed. I try to also put some water in the mix while drinking.ExPatriatePen wrote:So another day of waking up dehydrated.

just found a 6 pack of Victory St Boisterous in the back of my basement closet. It's from Spring 2007, will this still be good?

Be careful though. Five plus years is a long time for beer to sit on the shelf. I'd drink them one at a time.MWB wrote:Only one way to know for sure...eddysnake wrote:just found a 6 pack of Victory St Boisterous in the back of my basement closet. It's from Spring 2007, will this still be good?

Drinking the Midas Touch. Interesting beer. Sweetness from the honey and the grapes are the key players. I could never drink a lot of this, but very interesting for a change of pace.

Agreed. once in a while, I'll pick up a 4 pack and sip on it. It's a nice change, but sooo sweet.the wicked child wrote:Drinking the Midas Touch. Interesting beer.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Ok, so this isn't a beer suggestion as much as a cool story. At WalMart yesterday picking up groceries. I got some 6 packs (they don't carry anything fancy). Sam Adams Cherry Wheat for the wifey, Guinness Dark Lager b/c they had it for $4 for the 6 pack so I figured I'd try it, and Bud Light Platinum so I had something easy to drink after a couple of either of those.
Walking out, I had the 6 packs on the bottom of the cart. The WalMart where we live has this really dumb bumpy area before you get to the street... I think it's supposed to stop you from rolling into the street with a runaway cart or warn you if you aren't paying attention, but imagine rolling a cart over the bumpiest road you know condensed into a 4 foot wide by 8 foot long chunk of sidewalk.
Well the bumps made the Sam Adams fall off the cart and one of them broke/exploded spraying beer and glass everywhere. I was pissed but oh well, one beer out of 18, who cares. My wife, with the much better moral conscience, decides to go in and tell someone so they can get the glass out of the way.
The guy that comes out to help, no BS, looks like a dead ringer for Santa (just with a hump on his back... can't make this ish up). He tells us they never should have let us out with the beer on the bottom of the cart and brings out his own cart to clean it up. Then he takes my wife back in and grabs her another pack and tells us to keep the other 5 from the busted pack. Merry Christmas from humpback Santa!
Thanks dude! whoever you are...

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Powerade/Gatorade or something along those lines (SmartWater?), water, and yes... Excedrine migrane BEFORE the pain. Works fairly well. Basically replacing the stuff you put out (into the toilet).BadHands71 wrote:Similar. I'll drink some water or ginger ale before bed.

Try some alkali foods with the tablets. Figs, apricots, citrus, whey, many others. They will counteract the acidity that's so huge in beer/wine/liquor.bhaw wrote:Powerade/Gatorade or something along those lines (SmartWater?), water, and yes... Excedrine migrane BEFORE the pain.
