    Beer out of a bottle has to be Orval. The Belgian heavyweight champ knocks everything else flat.

    But as I’m in England, I can get Coniston Bluebird on draught in a lakeside pub. And you can’t beat that with anything.

  • Totally awesome to see you put a fan on the show! If I drive out to NJ will you put me on with some various Zinfandels? 😉

    QOTD: I usually just kick back a classic Budweiser or Michelob, but when I’m feeling adventurous I like to throw back an ice cold Guinness.
