I drank a magnum of 1995 Blue Chimay with a few friends last week......amazing beer after all that time.

some of those higher end belgians can stay great for a long time, like decades

they're almost like wine

god bless those wonderful monks

What's a magnum?

It says to serve at cellar temperature. Do you drink it like that? I just can't imagine drinking a warmish beer. Only way I like A (as in 1 or maybe 2) beer is on a hot day and the beer ICE cold.

its probably unlike any beer you've ever had before. totally different from what you probably think of as beer. i can't drink a bud or miller unless it's almost frozen too. but

those guys have been brewing beer for hundreds of years, they know what temp you should serve their beer at

I made some bomb ass stir fry today. Cooked up a little chicken and some brown rice, then bought one package of roundy's frozen pepper stri fry, and one package of roundy's frozen broccoli stir fry, and cooked that all up good and sassy like.

Then, I threw in a TON of the crushed red pepper they have at pizza places for some spice.

I give it a solid 8.5/10. The entire feast cost about 10 bucks to make, and will net 4 meals easily, possibly 5. Stir fry isn't super filling, though.

I don't think she's doubting it drunky, I think she's just commenting.

So, you come here often?

It's true though. I've never even tried a dark beer. Guess I should get out more.

I have been learning more about different kinds of tequila in margaritas though WHY O WHY do they have to be so bad for us though?

Have to try some - that weak ass 'wheat' beer that gets peddled is pretty poor. Don't get me wrong, on a hot day in the summer when I intend to knock back 10 or more, that's my choice. But for something nice with a meal, not a chance.

To start you on your enjoyment of the finer brews out there, may I suggest a warm *ahem* Guiness? It might seem overly strong at first, but bear through the first few sips and you'll start to enjoy it.

DO NOT drink Guiness cold. It's awful. And a lot of places will serve it that way.

You've also got a fair few local brews that are quite nice. Leiny's has a few worth trying. I haven't had their Dopplebock yet.

There was a case of stout I picked up a few years ago, and its name escapes me. Had a funny case, white and brown with no extravagent graphics, just the name of the beer. It had a sort of flip top I've never seen before that closed back up (wasn't glued). Anyone know what I might be talking about?

Room temperature used to be about 50 degrees.
The only way to drink it is about that temp or warmer. You lose the flavor and nuances if you drink it cold. It is an acquired taste...very easily acquired in my case.

Is that good or bad? What's normal?


And thanks Guiness. I'm curious now and will try one...always up for something new and different.

Guinness is very easy drinking....don't let the color fool you.

I can't get down on the ginney because the foam tastes like poo, and the typically bar pour has at least an inch on the top of just thick creamy frothyness.

Lately I've been enjoying schlitz to go with my staples on MGD, PBR, Spotted Cow and Blue Moon.

Its bad for me, takes me like 8 beers to get a buzz in Iowa. Also not all brands will brew a 3.2 beer so you might have to cross a border to get a really good beer.

Odd. It makes no mention of Iowa. Did the law change down there 7?

I like lipton orange jasmine green tea. Cook that shiz in the microwave, then bathe in with ice and a teaspoon of splenda, and its pretty much sex in a cup

What then hell is Splenda anyway? Why would you want to put it in your tea?
