Very nice man! Glad you liked it!

Linus, where did you get the St. Bernardus I have not seen that one.

Special order my friend. I got people.

If I am not mistaken, Macs Speed Shop had this on tap. Maybe D&D can confirm.

Total Wine on Independence will see ya right. Got it 2 weeks ago with the limited edition Yule Bock, even has bottle number on it (too good for me I know but so yummy!)

As for aging the beers, I keep on drinking them. The longest I got to aging any one of them was 2 weeks...Oh well!

Nice web site and a great variety of beer. I love the saison style of beer.

I read the entire thread to make sure no one had mentioned this one before, but you have to try it (if you can get your hands on it).  

Weyerbacher - Blithering Idiot

High gravity brew with wonderful color and complexity + zero after taste.  Awesome!

Anyone like Delirium Tremins (DT) (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) , the gastropub, The Liberty (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) has this on tap. Delicious Belgium Strong Dark Ale. Speaking with the co-owner while out there I requested Chouffle (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) , my other favorite Belgium Strong Dark Ale. Matthew will be getting this beer this Friday (01.22) on tap for those that are interested.

I'm probably heading that way this Friday for a tasting as I know this will not last long.

On another note, one of the beers I have being trying to get for the longest time is the Maui Coconut Porter which is currently only availalbe in Ca and Maui. While researching the micro breweries in and around Hickory (my next trip) I came across The Catawba Valley Brewing Company (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) who brews a similar beer called the Kink Coconut Porter

Anyone try this or know where I can get my hands on some? I sent out an email to the owner too. Looks like a Spring beer.

Viper - Thanks for the recommendation on Weyerbacher - Blithering Idiot. I'll try to find this at Southern Spirits.

PDLJUNKIE - Schlafly Saison Ale, Will try that one soon, unfiltered and Belgium in one sentence, must be tasty.

Daniel - Any tasting of the home brew? The thought of home brew did cross my mind, maybe I need to hook up with you lot the next time to observe.

Delerium Tremens is not my favorite.  Not a huge fan of the belgian yeast flavor.

Taste the homebrew?  Well, the New Year's day batch is gone.  The last batch isn't drinkable until at least next weekend. 

I might be persuaded to open up the next brew session.  Perhaps we'll do a bike and brew.  Look for it in a month or so.

Dwright,
Did you use that copper as a chiller or did you have some sort of RIM system?

I like IPA's and Scottish Ale. I'm curious about the New Belgium Ranger IPA. They never seemed to deal in the hoppy beers,but lets see if they can keep up their recipe for good flavor. I tried Oscar Blues Gorden a couple weeks ago. Kinda pricey ,but Really nice flavor. I'll keep it in mind for a special occasion beer. Mooresville Beer says they are coming out with Frostbite and Scottish ,the 1st week of February. I somehow got a bad batch of IPA from them. And they gave me a new case in exchange for an 11 pack. Pretty cool
