Beer Time

No Shots from the camera, but I did happen to find some Newport Storm '08s and a rack of Westmalle, and every other sweet ass trappist ale in the US. Oh and plenty of 120 Minute Dogfish Head IPA.

I grabbed two bottles of the '08 storm, and one more for my wife and I to enjoy before we hit the craziness of winter travel.

That Donker is supposed to be pretty sweet, but we've got a few nice cheeses left over from the weekend of "entertaining" so we shouldn't have much problem finding something appropriate to accompany it.

MMM

beeer

no, they aren't 40s, only 25.4 ounces, but the storm is 12% and the Donker is 11% and it is beer. Mmm.

They had about 6 or 7 different Ommegang(sp) beers there too. And supposedly still some of the Newport Storm '07 and '06s. Hmmm. I didn't ask how much they wanted for the '06 or '07.

Here... gonna get to the shot of the beer.

Pretty dangerous that this store is less than 50 feet from my office.
(crappy web cam shot...)

mmm beer...

time for the off season to start... but man it would be nice to have a killer winter cyclocross series to come back to in January, say maybe in Wrentham somewhere? *grin*

edit...

i don't know crap about which belgian beer is the one to get, which is better or if the Kasteel is any good... it has a good rating (91 iirc) and wasn't $20/bottle. i read a few reviews on the store and from what i can tell the beer snobs say it has a good selection but not a mind blowing one. Well for me, from what I'm used to, ie State run distribution (ie Michigan) and bigger closer (to the house) packies (mcgreens) this place makes those other places appear to carry bud, bud light and MGD. Granted Goodrich's there in East Lansing had a pretty good selection of "micro" brews (i guess they are called craft brews now) but most of them (like Red Hook) were distributed by Bud. *shrug* still a damn cool store...
