I enjoy it.

My favorite Empyrean (so far) is the Luna Sea ESB. Simply delicious.

Rye on Rye available in KC metro tomorrow if that's your thing.

Yum. My favorite Smokestack beer.

I had it on tap earlier this year... good, but not worthy of being a BBQ replacement. :harumph:

Just picked up a case of Rye on Rye this morning. Love this stuff.

drank this last night.

bad idea.

Had some of Avery's Mephistopheles Stout last night - on tap. Wowzers!

apparently some monks make the "best beer in the world" called Westvleteren XII, is making it's way to the US for a 1 time deal because they need money. Anybody getting this?

Try St. Bernardus Abt 12 or Trappist Rochefort 10 if you want to try a world class abbey ale. They're about 1/3 of the price of Westy 12.

I've had Westy 12 and it's a great beer, but not worth $85+ per gift pack (6 pack of beers with 2 cheap goblets). The reason for the hype is that this release is the first time it's officially been sold in the U.S.

Also, there is no Missouri or Kansas distribution for this release.

Just picked one of these up over lunch when I went to grab my Rye-On-Rye. Anxious to try it this weekend.

here's a top 25 of 2012 list...with the caveat "We focused only on bottled or canned beers that were released or made available for the first time in the United States this year."

Prunus Saison | 4 Hands Brewing Co. | Fruit Beer

As powerful, enamel-erasing sours continue to trend, subtlety is just what the dentist ordered. This new St. Louis brewery delivered with its first (and our favorite) spring seasonal release, a saison brewed with sour cherries. This fluffy brew’s effortless fusion of gentle tart cherry with playful black pepper and clove was a revelation; delicate, refined and incredibly quaffable, Prunus is flawless.

Quote:

Love Child No. 2 | Boulevard Brewing Co. | Specialty Beer

Brewed with Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus and aged in bourbon casks, Boulevard’s first wide-release wild ale is the most intensely sour beer we sipped this year. Big cherry and fierce sour swells roll back in waves; hints of bourbon and barnyard funk add incredible complexity. It took the brewery eight years of experimentation to get into the wild ale game, and its debut is a reflection of uncompromising effort.

Definitely an appropriate occasion for a Westy 12!
