Holy crap! Looks like I hit the thread jackpot!
So I've found myself lucky enough to have a gift card to a local store called Beers of the World. I've been wanting to get into European beers and that St. Bernardus is highly recommended. I'm probably picking that up tomorrow.
Chef, I used to hate IPA's until this past summer. Try one with citrus notes up front to balance out the bitterness. One I think is great for developing the palate is New Belgium Citradelic. Tangerine IPA at 6% ABV. It's my favorite year round, readily available, session IPA's. Give it a shot!
