This past Saturday night, my last beer was a Cantillon Rose De Gambrinus, bottled in 2000. It was fucking glorious.
Lucky bastard.I can’t describe how absolutely jealous I feel right now. Did you have to give up a kidney to get it?
I'm surprised that anyone even knew this beer. I picked it up a dozen or so cantillon 10 or so years ago, put some of them in a cool closet and forgot about them. Until recently. I'm not entirely sure what I have left... definitely some Kreiks and, one or two guezes.
Thanks. I was good with the growler concept. There's always an empty 2L behind the bench seat in my truck. I'd never heard of a trash plate. Now that I have, I WANT a trash plate. That is sexy.
not my image but had a couple of these with my sunday poker game. CO has some of the best beers in the world, but sometimes I just want a damn Yeunglng. . .

Sweet. I’m a sucker for any beer with boobies on the label. I’ve also developed a small obsession with sour beers. I’ve been searching unsuccessfully for bottles of Cantillon for about 18 months. It’s been a pretty enjoyable search.
That might be a steal. Unfortunately that’s $14 Australian. And darn it all, they won’t ship off of the continent. There’s a 2010 750ml on ebay for $50.
I may be in Monk’s Café in Philly this weekend. I might get lucky then.

Yikes. I had no idea how much they could be worth. Shit, I've got to stop giving these away. At $14, I wouldn't hesitate to order it at a bar.
They spent some time in a wine cooler. But, most of their time was spent in a closet. I bought them for much less than that at the time. A local bar bought out the inventory from a distributor that went out of business. I probably paid half off the retail price at the time.
Edit - I forgot I uploded a picture of my second to last beer...

Went for lunch. Got very lucky. Baby greens with grilled duck breast, goat cheese, spicy walnuts & craisins accompanied by a bottle of Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus. Fanfuckingtastic. After lunch, when my family saw the look on my face, they decided it would be best if they left me there: Petrus Aged Pale Ale, Contreras Valeir Extra, and Hof Ten Dormaal “White Gold” (bittered with endive). I went for a walk and ended up finding a couple of Flying Fish Red Fishes in the Good Dog Bar. My family found me and took me to Triumph for Curry Pork Tacos and more beer. My SiL and I put together a Triumph sampler with pints of Bohemian pils, Love Potion (Belgian tripel), rauchbier, swarzbier, Irish red and Irish dry stout. It was a happy, happy day.

That is indeed an awesome day. Nice work.
Unfortunately the missus figured out what that day cost about 2 hours after the "we can't afford a patio this year" talk.

Railroad Street Ale.
Nothing beats a trash plate and a growler.
I don't know what that means, but it sounds sexy as hell.
Well, the beer doesn't come in bottles so you have to get a growler(big jug) and as far as the trash plate goes, I found this for you!

you posted pics and didnt bother to describe the beer? what a dick tease!!!!!
i never thought beer could be a desert, but this stuff is yummy.
it's not for every day drinking, but just so damn delicious...
+1000000 :)
I had two Shiner Bocks on draft Friday night at the Boardwalk in Shreveport. I drink maybe once a year and this is my goto for beer. It is glorious.
Shiner is damn good beer. I'm on my third Stella right now

Last beer I had was Yunegling Light. It definitly does not suck having the Yuengling Brewery here in Tampa. Its as easy to get as a Budweiser is.

Cool closet = fridge?

Is it worth $14 a bottle?

Tried one of these last night. It was sort of sweet, and not my normal taste - but interesting. Glad I bought it in a mix and match 6 pack.
Had this at SxSW this weekend...
Keith's Light draught. At a ship themed tavern called Ship Victory.
Retirees from my place of work get together there once a month.
I had a Kona Brewing Koko Brown at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau park at sunset last night.
When I got back to the B&B I walked the grounds collecting fruit from trees to make a smoothie with Old Lahaina rum.
Aloha!
