KRC Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 You got that right. Ken hates me for that one. 155193[/snapback] I don't think that hate is the right word. Fortunately, I found a place about 30 minutes away that sells the stuff (and in BIG bottles, too).

stevestojan Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -Benjamin Franklin "The easiest way to spot a wanker in a pub is to look around and find who's drinking a Corona with a slice of lemon in the neck." -Warwick Franks "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." -Ernest Hemmingway "I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer." -Homer Simpson "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." -Frank Sinatra "Work is the curse of the drinking class." -Oscar Wilde "When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." -Henny Youngman "You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer." -Frank Zappa
BillsFanNC Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Big bottles are important. 155215[/snapback] You guys are lucky, NC has a 6% alcohol limit on beer sold in stores so there is no Chimay to be found here . I usually stock up at Premier Gourmet when I make it back to Buffalo.

Well, I guess it is better than Milwaukee. You cannot buy beer in convenience stores after 9PM there. You need to go to a bar if you want to drink.

I may not have moved here had I known about this law beforehand. Give me a 9.25% sales tax anyday rather than limiting my beer choices! We are working on getting it lifted though: http://www.popthecap.org/ Earlier in the year I did my best at recreating Chimay myself. I cultured the yeast from the bottom of a Chimay bottle and used it for brewing up my own batch. It turned out great but nothing beats the original.
IDBillzFan Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 HAHA..do you guys have Natty Light? Bud makes that. In college that's all we drank. $3 for a 6-pack! 155165[/snapback] Gotcha beat there. While at college in Rochester, we'd get a beer called Fort Schuyler at Wegmans. 99 cents a six pack. The only way to drink it was doing shots or playing Nuclear Backgammon.

What a bunch of losers.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: politicians for limiting the alcohol level on beer. What a bunch of losers. 155293[/snapback] Indeed. The politicians are probably too stupid to realize that they are contributing to the obesity problem in making people drink 15 beers to get shitfaced instead of just 8.

What a bunch of losers. 155293[/snapback] There are wild yeasts strains everywhere in the air, but Belgium is the only place where brewers use it to ferment their beer. Chimay's are fermented with pure strains. Belgian lambics are spontaneously fermented. Cantillon and Lindemans Frambiose are two examples of lambic you can probably pick up at a specialty store. It's different, but wonderful stuff. Lambics
