That label is extremely cool

It’s not my favorite TG beer, but it’s still delicious. So I’d say it’s worth the price, assuming you aren’t being gouged too badly.

Are you going to the brewery?? I can't even imagine what it would be like to drink Belgian beers in Belgium. The views should be stupendous, the beers tremens(dous). Please share any picsSo in almost 12h I'll be arriving in Brussels. I'll probably drink a Cantillon or two and other fabulous Belgian beers

I won't this time but I already went there a few times. Every two years they do what they call the Quintessence and it's an amazing experience. I've friends who owns a nice brewery in Brussels and they are friends with Jean Von Roy. Actually my best food experience was spent with Jean Von Roy and the heads of En Stoemelings (my friends) and Brasserie de la Senne. A Chef in Brussels invited a Galician beef "producer" to his restaurant for a private night. There were beers from these three houses, wines from the Chef's cave and some of the best pieces of meat I've ever ate. We spent the night drinking, eating and singing. It was an incredible experience.

With a lot of these 'beer picture' type posts, could we get a sentence on thoughts, flavour profile or somesuch.
Much as I like beer pictures with no description are a bit meh

As long as you’re okay with it being extremely basic then I can do that
I have had this on draft at the Ginger Man and Flying Saucer. Very good stuff.

does anyone here have separate beer fridges? I guess if you have a basement or garage fridge you could keep one. But I have an apartment and only one smaller than average fridge in my kitchen. So after this trip quoted above, like half of my fridge is filled with beer and it's getting annoying with normal food and stuff in it. I'm not about to drink 4 dozen beers really quickly so it's going to be an issue until most of them are gone. I have a large closet where I could probably fit one, but idk how ridiculous that idea is. Anyone have thoughts?

My house came with a second fridge in the unfinished portion of the basement. I quickly claimed it as the beer fridge and made sure there was no room for food (I have a stupid amount of beer in there). My wife has been fairly understanding... she's got the whole freezer, after all?
Now drinking: Mystic Brewery, Orange Dinosaur double IPA. Super hoppy and citrussy, which hides the 8.5% really well.

I didn’t post a full haul from last weekend but this is a variety of Lawson’s Double Sunshine.
If you didn’t tell me it was grapefruit I wouldn’t have thought it was a special grapefruit beer. It doesn’t come right out and scream grapefruit flavor. I can definitely taste it, but it takes a little bit of a backseat here. Super juicy and a little bit more grainy tasting than their Sip of Sunshine stable beer. 8.5/10 easily. I also bought a pack of the regular Double Sunshine and it’s less good, I really like my IPA’s to have grapefruit in them while still being able to taste the beer, this one does it.

I would like to get a beer fridge as well, potentially in the garage. I wouldn’t want to get anything too expensive but I agree that it gets annoying to have beer that I am saving taking up so much space in our kitchen fridge.
