Belgian vs. American Sours
Dang, that’s one I missed out on… Thanks again though for all the stuff you offered for samples, as I certainly got to try some nice beers I hadn’t had in the past, and retried a couple I HAD. Dang, you know, I also missed the Dark Lord with chilis — what is it with me missing out on the chili beers?
Heh, it occurs to me, at the end, that you, knowing you were going to be offering up all those beers for sampling, might have changed up your tag line a bit — “I’ve got some great beers to drink, and momentarily, YOU CAN TOO!”.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing this with everyone last Saturday, that Hunahpu was my favorite but your review begs the question, if not this what gets 100?
I’ve never given a 100. There’s a 99 coming up, and I regretted not giving it 100 afterwards.
where did you get the bottle opener?
Hi Daniel, The opener was a gift. I’ll try to source it for you.
