Going off memory here, so I don't remember the exact details, but Westy and Abt 12 are heavily connected. I think St. Bernardus was somehow an off-shoot of Westvleteren and the beers are actually the same exact recipe, just made at different places now.

 

People were lined up at 1230 today for a 4pm can release Count me out.

 

St. Bernardus brewed for Westvleteren for like 40 years, until other laws came into place that had Westvleteren brewing for themselves. It's a similar/same recipe except for water and yeast, as far as anyone can tell.

 

Have a couple Westy 12's at home. Not the biggest fan.

 

I've made it a personal goal of mine to drink a dogfish head 60, 90, and 120 IPA back to back to back and see if I can walk afterwards.

 

^ As far as alcohol content goes, that's about the same as drinking 8 Bud Light cans.

(You'd just be drinking less water by going the DFH route)

 

Sooo, easy.

 

Interesting. Why's that? side note: I'll take 'em!

 

I mean I'm not a huge fan of Belgian beers (Dubbles/Tripels/Quads), something in the specific yeast strain that I'm just not a fan of. It isn't bad, but I definitely don't see how it was the #1 rated beer for years.

 

Exclusivity. All those top beer lists are so fucking dumb. Currently on Beer Advocate (bleh)

Like really...

 

Ahh, fair enough.

Yeah, it's a pretty shitty resource if you're trying to gauge out of market beers.

 

I say we do another round soon but this time with Trillium's Pale Ales

 

I like the way you think. Always looking for a good excuse to drive up there and grab some bottles.

 

Man, I do love Boddingtons

 

IF you get New Holland's Tasmanian Hatter around you, grab it. Mosaic, Nelson, Citra hops. Malt is standard Midwestern-style, but man it's a great IPA. In the running for my favorite in the state.

 

Heard haha.

 

Seems like an odd name for a beer using no Australian hops.

 

You added that just for me, didn't ya? haha

 

Haha, i did, i did. Having not been exposed to NEIPA's, I'm still living in a different IPA world.

 

Going to look for this on my lunch today. By the by, I quite enjoyed Hopsoulution. I was cycling between that, Chillwave, and Lagunitas Waldos', for a couple weeks and enjoyed all 3 (though Waldos' was a clear favorite). Hopsoulution was definitely unique and had a bitterness character that was pronounced, though not unpleasant, somewhere between a German and Czech pils.

 

I do need to get some together to send to you one of these days!
