The Perennial Abraxas is [expletive] bonerific. I bought a 750 ml that I plan on drizzling all over my soul early tomorrow in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner.
I can't be the only one that thinks splitting a bottle of anything - let alone beer - is just weird, and that the entire sentence was completely incomprehensible. I don't have the slightest idea what he did with that Belgian quad and I don't want to know. The whole appliance store thing is beyond me as well, but as long as I'm not there I guess I don't really care where he does that.

Eh, it was a 750 mL bottle, and was like $20. It's considered the closest comp to what is widely regarded as the best beer in the world (some monastery in I think Belgium makes it, and they only make a very limited amount every year that is available for purchase).

If you wanna get real good at beer read this book and when you're reading the sections on styles, pick up a couple from that style and drink just that for a few nights. Try to cook something that is a recommended pairing with it--or if you're in a restaurant decide your beer first then work backwards and pick your food to match based on what you've read. That book was a big part of how I studied for the tasting portion of the cicerone exam.
