I thought we did for a while, but now I can't find it.I just had a sale that literally made me gasp (I hadn't checked on the auction in like three days). It's nowhere even remotely close to the same solar system of $2,000 sales that some of you are used to, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised.If we do have such a thread, can someone post the link? If we don't, then ... well, I guess I'm just confused. Wouldn't be the first time ...

It's about the only stuff I will drink nowadays. That and Celis, both are TX beers but I'm not sure how regional they are. I've tried a lot of regional beers and micro brew stuff but keep coming back to these two. Mike B.

Seems like every month some new packie is popping up claiming it carries " 1000's of different beer" while the last one to claim such is closing down.Sam Adams once put out a nice triple bock but really tough to find ( last made in 1997 ) one lot on ebay now:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6257956564Be warned...this is not for the faint at heart and to quote someone from mylifeisbeer.com : "I would rather lick a Bums Feet than drink this stuff again" Definitely an aquired taste, sipped slowly, but I liked it alot.

Just picked up a six of Spring Ale...kinda like a Belgian Wheat. I used to buy the Scotch Ale and Double Bock quite often but cant get it around here anymore. I bought a bottle of the Triple Bock when it came out. Frankly it tasted like an alcohol infused fruit syrup. And the $5 price tag for one bottle was enough of a reason not to buy it again.

I can justify it because it is supposed to be good for the heart. Although I don't think a half-gallon at a time is what they meant.
Kingofpain89 wrote:Right now I have three different beers in my fridge. The Sam Adams Spring Ale, Spaten Optimator, and Blue Paddle. A few weeks ago I finally finished off the rest of the Hobgoblin Ale and the Boddington's Stout I had been putting off drinking. I only drink one beer every other night, so I usually have plenty around.

In Europe, we have great beers from Northern Europe (I especially appreciate those from Netherlands and Belgium).When I was in Cancun I drank a good Mexican beer, if I remember correctly its name was Modelo. It was quite similar to the Belgian Chimay, which is one of my favorites.

Unfortunately I don't really drink foreign beers because of the cost involved, and most American beers to put it bluntly aren't worth the time to spit in.
