Dutch glory..

Of course!

I'll vouch for this. This is in fact an excellent beer. A bit on the watery side, but definitely very drinkable. And will you look at that bottle? If that doesn't look delicious, I don't know what does. That of course goes for Heineken as well, but this beer has a lot more flavour to it, in my opinion. Good choice, sir.

I don't like beer, never have and never will. If I drink, I drink high alcohol-content stuff like Vodka, Scotch, Rum (Australian rum only) and on the rare occasion, Bourbon.

Smirnoff, although drinkable for sure, really isn't the peak of quality. It definitely too pricy for the taste(at least in Denmark), but I reckon that's an image thing.

As for not drinking beer, I get what you're saying. I'm definitely a beer person, but every once in a while I find myself in the mood for something else, and I'll go a night without any beer at all, and stick to liquor or vodka mostly. Makes for a very different buzz, but has the unfortunate side effects of leaving me in a near coma for up to 3 days after, and my bank account empty.

I'd send it free!  I'll have to work out the logistics though, 'cos I don't know what the regulations are as far as sending homebrews through the post.  Anyways, it is actually fairly cheap to make lambics.  For a 5 gallon output, the yeast/bacteria costs only 6$, and the other ingredients probably only cost around 20-30$.  That's like 50 bottles for 30-40$!  I contemplated making a Gueuze, but it is too hard to find a Gueuze blend, and the second fermentation takes more time than I want to wait for my first Belgian brew

I don't drink beer, mainly because I believe Australian beers suck balls .

Your Doing it Wrong!

I've got this bottle lying in my room and have no f**king idea what to do with it (yes, drink it... but how? Any drinks? Ideas?). It's a 1000ml bottle...

[Liber Lupus]

Russian vodkas are the best, you can even drink that shjit without mixing it with anything.
But usually I prefer rum. Dark Carriba is good and it's cheap.

Yes... Vodka and orange juice is awesome.

Or go out and buy some jelly crstals and make Jelly shots... they get addictive

[demoniac93]

Either make yourself a Vodka & Gin, or a cocktail of Vodka, peach schnapps, and orange juice, it's best over ice as a drink.

Sour Ale, Wheat Ale (from Omegang brewery, 'cos it's the only good lookin' one I can find), He'Brew ReJewvenation, Oudbeitje lambic, more Oud Beersel kriek and Lindeman's Framboise.  I'm PUMPED.

Watch out of duchess, I'm not a fan of it. I do like other Flander's Red Ale like Panil and a few others, but duchess is like sickly sweet vinaigrette. I can stomach past a few sips, but thats just me. I like the flavor combinations, I just think their's isn't done well. I'd be interested to hear your opnion.

If you like the omegang, try the Allagash white, pretty good.

Stop trying more lambics than me or send them over here.

I had the Duchesse tonight.  Actually, I am finishing up the last bit of it right now.  You are right - I definitely see what you're saying with the sickly sweet vinaigrette.  I liked the Duchesse, but I'm finding it hard to stomach the last of the bottle.  I think it's best shared; if I'd have had only a glass or two I probably would have given it a 9/10, but right now it's a bit closer to a 7 for me.  I already knew it would be a little strange when my mum tried some and told me she enjoyed it, 'cos she normally can't even smell beer without gagging.  The nose is almost wine-like.

vodka and redbull is my preferred mix.

Everything that contains alcohol is fine for me
At the end... its all the same

[n00bface]

Made a Belgian Witbier brew today 'cos it's St. Patrick's day and I don't like Irish Reds lololol


5 gallons!  It should only take a couple weeks to ferment+bottle too, so I won't be waiting nearly a year like with the lambics I did last week.

[Laser Guy]

Nice

[Smegma]

I'll buy a bottle!

Plus, dont you have to refrig/cellar ales in order to make them?

I had another flanders red ale that was miles better than duchess.

I'll add that one to my queue   I've got a few that I want to pick up next time I'm in the liquor store.

Ales don't have to be refrigerated/cellared - primary fermentation for Belgian wheat beer is about 70 degrees (mine has been fermenting at 68), once I move it into secondary fermentation I'll move it somewhere dark at about 60 degrees to help it clarify a bit.  The Lambic is less strict for traditional brewing, but even still it's best to keep it at about 68-72 degrees for proper attenuation and fewer off-flavors.  It's lagers that have to be chilled during fermentation; I think 45 degrees is the recommended fermentation temperature for pilsners, but it all depends on the yeast you use.

Anyways Smegma man, you should homebrew.  I bet you'd like it.

[Smegma]

Yea, I want too. Just too busy/broke to go out and start right now. Maybe one day after college.
