A snifter of Goose Island Bourbon County at the Goose Island Wrigleyville Brewpub after my first Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
As I recall, it was the first time I paid double digits for a beer in a bar.

Best Beer Ever
I spent my honeymoon in Belgium and obviously brought back a lot of beer. One of them was an 11 year old Chimay Grand Reserve. I waited a few months until Thanksgiving to open it with my brother after our meal. It was incredible; obviously well cellared and was probably the perfect age to open it as oxidation was just starting to creep in.
While in Belgium I also bought a fresh bottle – 2009. I’ve kept it to this day and I patiently wait until 2020.

Digging up an old one...
A bottle or Orkney skull splitter,after going back to my(original) hometown in Scotland 3 years ago. Doubt anyone know's the place, but there's a spot in the scottish borders called Scott's lookout where Sir Walter Scott used to walk everyday. There's a spot looking down to the valley and river,great view,perfect place to sit and sip on a beer. Not necessarily the best tasting beer i've ever had.....but much like everyone else, it's a combo of beer/company/location.
