Fck there's even a beer appreciation thread here too. Nice...
Well then, what I have lying around at the moment:
For the special occasion (like borders opening up and my Qld Doggies bro coming down for a pissathon)
- managed after 10 years to finally get a bot of Westvleteren 12 (trappist). Voted best beer in the world for 10 of the last 20 years. CVD has made it sort of easier to get. About $60-$70/bottle
- Sink the bismarck by Brewdog (quad IPA - 41% - tried it b4 and its nuclear). Worth it if your a tosser like me and have no issues on spending $240 on a bot of beer. Paid 25 quid in London for a shot years ago - crazy shit. Know someone who tried to down one of these in a sitting. Ended up in hospital....
For the 'something other than the daily drinker':
Daintons Blood Orange NE Rye IPA (have a thing about fruit beers, thought I'd disregard my better sense and give it a go - wish I didn't. Its ok but not worth the $$$)
Daintons Bloodzilla Double Blood Orange NEIPA (see above)
Mother Earth Project X Cosmic Pyrokinesis Hazy IPA (excellent but being from the US - pricey)
Akasha Hopsmith IPA (my go to boutique beer, only issue is its easy to down and big on alcohol, u get pissed too quickly). Consistently easy to get too.
St. Bernandus Abt 12 (Trappist - same recipe as the Westvleteren but at a price you can live with).
Thoroughly recommend the Akasha - believe its brewed in Balmain. Have had it on tap or can - same/same. If you want a seriously unusual beer experience, can get the St. B's @ around $75/6 pack. Starts like a ipa, then becomes a mild stout and then goes bitter as an aftertaste (and its 10% too). Trappist beers are weird, you either love em or you hate them. Probably like blue beer
