Never have smoked a pipe but I do know a lot of beer fanatics who also enjoy a pipe, and also fine cigars.
I have previously had a beard but am clean shaven at present. |

What do you specifically mean by barrelling in this case? Because it could mean a number of things. |

| you know....i was fortunate enough to get my hands on a westy 12 last year and really enjoyed it but i have trouble calling it my favorite beer. i can't disagree with anything you said about it - but when it comes to quads i think the rochefort 10 may be better |

gotcha. i've been getting into it over the past 18 months or so. i've yet to move to all-grain brewing, tho i'm starting to think more seriously about it. everything i've done has been extract w/ grain to this point.
here's a question i guess - favorite breweries? and beers from those breweries (seasonals, yearlies, one-offs, w/e) |
Going all grain is a significant step up both in terms of complexity and cost but your beers should benefit and I personally believe it allows for greater control of the final beer.
As for favourite breweries, it would depend on which part of the world, because while I enjoy beer from many countries I have specific tastes at any one time.
Right now I am on a real Belgian kick and have especially been enjoying revisiting my old favourites from Cantillon. |

Both fine beers certainly and I would actually find it hard to say which I prefer. |

i love being out here in socal with access to so many amazing brews, but whenever i visit home i can't help but feel bad about everything i'm missing out west - founders, sweetwater, magic hat, troegs, terrapin, and so on and so on. |
