There was a bottle of Rodenbach Grand Cru in the beer fridge at Hallertau last night - we were trying to decide if we should split the cost of it but wimped out in the end.
It used to be about $10 for 750ml at New World Island Bay. I think it has gone up to $11. Awesome price for an awesome beer. To think that some people pay that for a bottle of crappy wine.
My beer of the summer. We took some on holiday with us and the response with people was always the same, Initial shock, then enjoyment, then sorrow when the bottle runs dry.
I have a bottle of it sitting in my fridge and im scared to open it, mainly because I know if I do it will be all gone :o( lol, im gonna try save it for a special occassion..
I guess at least the budvar would have been freshish....new bar can't have been in the fridge long....options at a DB pub really are dire! Next time call into new world metro and grab a couple of bottles of duvel, get a glass from the bar, perhaps even a monteiths handle....bobs your uncle!
