Oddly enough, I haven't had the 60 minute. But I love the 90. And I have 2 of the 2006 120's and 2 of the 2008's. I'm trying to find a special occasion-type night to drink the first 120 because I know it will be wonderful - it better be for the price!! :D

I like the Indian Brown a lot. And I just tried the Palo Santo Marron which is just devine!!

Geez - you'd think I worked for them... :) (I don't...)

I don't think that you can get 120 here,the state just recently allowed a higher alcohol content in beer. I can't remember the actual limit but I'm sure that it's not even remotely close to 21 percent :lol: I can probably get a friend to bring some down the next time he visits though,I would love to try that one,(or two) :beer:

Today I grabbed a bottle of Dogfish Head World Wide Stout...18% abv!

That's a one drink day for me. It would have to be very good for me to settle for just one on a Sat. afternoon. As I told you, Sleemans IPA. Great summer ale

I have a bottle in my basement. Can't wait to hear what you think of it - I haven't tried it yet.

oh, so you had KB over there? or did someone bring it over for you?

In Seattle after a footy game. Came in a quart can. After the game, I would have thought anything tasted good but I quite liked it to be honest

It is the oddest thing through decades of searching for and finding strong beer (8-10% and up) and passing up on those weaker than 5% lately I've been enjoying Boreal White Beer which is only 4.2% and it is the best White Beer I've tried so far. Me going for flavour over alcohol level now that's a first!

I'll have to look for that one. Haven't seen it in BC. Is Boreal a Quebec brewery ?

I've been getting prices at liquor stores on kegs, and am still trying to decide what keg to put in my kegerator. Newcastle is $160, Bells Oberon is $140, and Blue Moon is $120. So Blue Moon would be a cheaper alternative, but I've always wanted Newcastle on tap at home, so maybe I just spend the extra bucks?

First thing I need to do is get a line-cleaning kit, and flush out the lines so there's no remnants of the last guy's crap beer in there...

May as well spend the extra. Newcastle is a good choice

I was quite pleasantly surprised on my one trip across the pond to find some passable beers from micro brewerys in BC & WA but they aren't as good as our English Ales. My brother keeps a Pub in Derbyshire England and his Marston's Pedigree has to be tasted to be believed. Even when/if you can get it over there it won't travel particularly well.

But the true king of all beers is this one. 6X.

I've had a deep and meaningful relationship with it since I first tasted it 30 years ago!

The question is also, how good of a husband do I want to be? My wife doesn't like Newcastle, but she does like Blue Moon. So she'd help with the keg if I got Blue Moon, but more for me if I got Newcastle. So do I be nice, or selfish? I'm leaning toward selfish B)

Selfish, B) she'll learn to like it. I wasn't that impressed with the Blue Moon, it was only in a bottle and I've not tried it on tap.
