Happy New years people.
all alone this newyears as the missus works and i cant be arsed to hit the streets and deal with


so i thought i would pull a few from the cellar this evening to enjoy.

oude beersel-oude geuze vielle

just finishing now and im wishing i let it sit to get warmer then 8deg . first sips where a bit metalic and very dusty with a backing of sourness but now im getting all this lovely upfront lemon sour tartness and am sad to see the bottom of the glass.

later on will be

great divide brewing-belgian style yeti

rated quite strong on the net so really looking forward to this one.

been tasting some very lovely drops all month and am too lazy to picture and post so heres some empty bottles


nogne o- spiced christmas beer with hints of swedish glog(sweet warm winter beverage) coming through.
corsendonk christmas and gouden carolous- both very lovely belgian strongs not christmas spiced but very toffee like and lovely over xmas.
Djvlebryg Old Mephisto- believe this bottle is from '08' this is the best barley wine ive ever had. not saying best out there but best ive tasted personally
rodenbach grand cru - lovely mixed sour beer aged in oak vats kinda reminds me of red wine meets sour beer
lvisholt Jlabjr smoked bock- wow my first icelandic beer wasnt expecting it at the price ($4) but very nice not over the top smokey like most others imo
north coast brother theolonious belgian style abbey ale- nice american take on a belgian definately worth picking up if seen.

 

[Goldenchild]

found some more photos of a few nice beers so while im at it

very nice winter warmer quite different with a bit of piney taste coming through.


terrible photo but the beer even though i paid close to ($20) was worth every penny. this brewery has every right to be arrogant.


way too overpowering for me at this age. only bottled last july. will be interseting to taste in a years time when the heat and hops settle in abit.


quite a nice drop i dont think theres any belgian beers out there i wont rate


great red from an award winning english brewery. although i think the u.s hops is what makes it shine.


been having quite a few of these what a great wheat beer! ive managed to harvest the yeast from this beer and have a dunkelweizen planned for the coming weeks

 

[Dazza88]

No picture unfortunately , Nogne O Saison. Awesome beer, now i know what all the saison fuss was about on the forum.

 

[Pennywise]

Cracked this one on Christmas day, not a fan but very interesting experience

 

[Bizier]

Captain Lawrence Cuvee de Castleton

Kept in fridge since sept/oct last year when I visited the brewery.
Awesomely funky/bretty acidic, fruity and dry, some smoother yeasty/oaky tones to balance it out. Great beer.

 

[Bizier]

I had this last night, was great, smooth and caramelly and bacony. Brother in law nailed it with ' honey baked ham' kettle chips.

 

[bum]

Jealous as, Biz.

 

[Bizier]

The Capt Lawrence is hen's teeth, especially as it was not even available, and the brewer gave it to me from his private stash (thank you Scott), but the Schenkerla is a recent item from Phoenix, so you should be able to get it if you want. The travesty was that I had to neck 2/3rds of it because I was being kicked out of the GF's sister's place, a waste in two senses of the word.

 

[Thunderlips]

It all looks very nice but your Headmaster glass does not appear to be working.

 

[Fish13]

Currently enjoying this. seems celebrations is getting some nice beers in.

Is stienlager quite nice? it will be the next one i get.

It is a fairly smooth stout. was a bit Coopers BES to it then it mellowed out.

This beer made me get into stouts! Also inspired me to make one which turned out awesome

Been a while since I've had it but I remember it as quite average.
Don't let the name fool you, it's not made anywhere near Europe.

weihenstephaner pilsner - beautiful :icon_drool2:



quadrupel..... not sure if this is for me.... 10% abv, very warm & strong which is overpowering...

 

[Fish13]

yeah thats why i asked.

wasnt sure if the kiwis could do a good brew

 

[pimpsqueak]

yeah thats why i asked.

wasnt sure if the kiwis could do a good brew

They can, it's just not in the form of a Steinlager.

 

[jbowers]

They most certainly can. Epic, Emersons, 8 Wired, Yeastie Boys, Macs, Croucher, Ben Middlemiss, Renaissance.... All good/great breweries!

 

[chunckious]

The Kiwi's kick arse.

 

[yum beer]

Hey Fish go for the Steinlager Pure....it is much better than standard Steinlager....and IMO a reasonable drop,
certainly better than most lagers offered up by other brewers. On par with and better than most German lagers.

 

[rehab]

Lately I have been blessed with many great (and mainly local NZ) brews B)
I have had the NZ Craft Beer TV Mash Up collab beer, the Tuatara APA (Aotearoa Pale Ale), 8 wired Tall Poppy, Hop Zombie, Tuatara pilsner, Croucher Pilsner and Epic Larger (not Lager) and Epic(urian) Coffee & Fig Oatmeal Stout. I don't usually rate dark beers but have been converted due to Yeastie boys Pot Kettle Black, Croucher Patriot, Tuatara London Porter, Stoke Dark and now Epicurian Stout has topped it off. I must get more as I think this is a one off batch! Soooo Tasty :icon_drool2:

Cheers All!

 

[lukiep8]

New Zealand is getting a great name for themselves internationally for great beer too. Epic and 8 Wired will be represented at the Copenhagen Beer Festival this year, and only the best get invited to that!

 

[bum]

Australia is international too.

 

[chunckious]

Aren't we the West Island? h34r:

 

[argon]

Had a few Gemans the other night...

Always impressed with this one... Weihenstephaner Kristall

also had the Erdinger Kristall... not nearly as good
