Local Costco has Chimay Grande Reserve .750 selling for about $9 a bottle. Is it worth trying at that price?

Based on what we spend on wine around here, why not!? It's $11.99 per at Binnys in Chicago and they're usually competitively priced.

Also, I think this is one you could age...maybe grab a couple and cellar one just for fun.

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Blanche de Chambly. Had it on tap the other day and loved, loved it. Found it in 750ml bottles. Bought a couple. Good, but not up to par with the draught.

Damn eyes don't work like they see too in a dimly lit restaurant on an iPhone! I fixed this and moved it where it belongs!

Sierra Nevada Extra IPA (fantastic American IPA)

Have you tried their Moon Man or Laughing Fox? Both excellent.

Yesterday at lunch, all on draught:

* Wasatch Winterfest (good very good)
* St. Feuillien Speciale (very good)
* Squatters Outer Darkness (very good excellent)

Those three back to back will knock your d*ck in the dirt.
