damn that\'s pricey beer...
Yesterday I bought a 4 pack of Samichlaus beer. The label touts it as
perhaps the rarest beer in the world". It's only brewed once a year on Dec. 6th and then aged for 10 months blah blah blah. Long story short, a single bottle bought at a normal liquor store costs around 5 bucks. Anyone ever try this brew? |

Cause it's chimay, it's made by monks in belgium and it's double fermented like champagne. and it's damn good.

This stuff is damn good. 14% alcohol and has a nice honey taste, kind of like what I imagine what meade would taste like if I lived in the 1500's. Also, it says you can 'age' this beer and it just gets better. |
