I blame the beer you can't see for the bad pic!

It's 6-pack Saturday

Don’t drink anymore but this was my go to in the winter. I’ve had the real thing and this ale is almost spot on . MG2

Excellent choice Sir, nearly identical to the Westvleteren 12 but much more readily available.

A friends wife was in Belgium some years ago to give some classes and someone there gave her two bottles of the Abbey XII from the monastery where you have to be on a list . The numbers were hand painted on the bottle and nothing else . I’ve tried many dark ales and that one bottle was the best I ever had the pleasure to try . MG2

Those bottles were likely from the abbot's private stock and delicious no doubt. The connection between Westvleteren and St. Bernardus is a very interesting one and goes back to WWII, reason I won't go into it but from what I've read Abt 12 is actually the original recipe for Westvleteren 12. On the rare occasions I go out for a drink Bernardus 12 is also my go to. Another good one is Rochefort 10 but after several of those you might wanna sit down for a minute. Ask me how I know...

Totally understand ! MG2

Strictly for educational purposes I went out on a lil field trip last night...
Had nearly forgotten how delicious this one is and as we say around here, one is none.

Coupla Sam Snappahs to mentally prepare myself for the 18-24 inches of snow coming tomorrow..



All good, a little snow never hurt anybody haha..

drinking cola now((

Black Rifle Coffee Company Freedom Roast.
The Keurig cups provide an easy to clean up caffeine delivery system
but do not allow for adding a pinch of salt to the grounds.
What! You don't add salt to your coffee! Google it. Try it.



This is an alcohol centric thread, but not to worry.
I am definitely not on the wagon for Dry January.
Well, I was for 10 hours. That's noon in the Atlantic Time Zone.

Waiting for my coffee to brew, with my favorite mug. Sunday mornings are my favorite, typically the only morning of the week I can wake up and relax a little!

Dear luisharp:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Stay safe,

Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition…

Boulevard Single Wide IPA

The Zaan has spent so much time in my pocket the past two weeks that my Spydies are getting jealous. Swapping it out for the Shaman tonight..



If I'm being honest, I think I like the Focal Banger a little bit better than the Heady..

I got a 3 day weekend ahead of me and a bottle in front of me. Cheers to you all

Well it's almost noon here. Pondering which one to start with.
For those who haven't tried the Robinson's Trooper, it's a wonderful ale. Plus, who can fault some classic Maiden. Last saw them in 2020 in Cincy at Riverbend for my 5th show.
