When I buy something good it's usually Rogue Dead Guy Ale. I also really like Young's Double Chocolate Stout but I dont drink that as much.

Does any one know about Belgian Beer? I'm taking a trip to Brussels soon and will be stopping in Amsterdam and Paris. I hear theres a #$%*load of different varieties. I don't want to look like a chump when I get to a pub and don't know what to order. Any suggestions?

I used to work with a guy who was a beer conneiseur. He brought me a Chimay, which I believe is Belgian. It was very tasty, although I don't remember exactly which Chimay it was.

Now that it's getting colder, this Belgian comes to mind.

Mmmmmmmm...

I just got back from a week of beer tasting in Belgium! Man those people know a thing or two about beer. And some clocking in at 11%! Hard to go too far wrong with any of them.

Wow...bikes and beer. Two of my favorite things! Mrieck mentioned it first: the Belgian Trappist beer Chimay Bleau (aka Chimay Blue, and Grand Reserve) is the quintessential beer. I can't find it in the States, but have purchased at a beer store in Ontario.

Another great beer I discovered in Chicago: .. Goose Island "Honker's Ale."

I must say, too, that my homebrew beer is top notch too.

Should we start a new thread about homebrewing?

My favorite beer? FREE beer!
But really I'd rather just burn one.

Peterbylt · « **Reply #162 on:** October 24, 2006, 09:26:06 PM »

Guinness is the best.
I also like Fat Tire from New Belgium Brewing Company of Fort Collins, Colorado.

Someone earlier in this thread Mentioned Monty Python and beer
How about this.

Glenn, pointed this thread to me. I am kind of the resident expert on Belgian Beer

.
When are you comming to Brussels and how long wil you stay ?

There are about 600 different types of beer and about 1600 labels.
They go from light (Jupiler, 4.5%) to Heavy (Duvel 12%)
You can have them taste hop-like (Maes) , sower (Lambic), sweet-sower (Geuze), sweet (Kriek), caramel (Chymay-dark),....

Some of the breweries only make a few 1000 litres a year and you have to reserve a year or two in advance. Others produce more but can still be hard to find.

Name your preference I will name you the Beer.

I'll take one of each.

Just curious. How does a country with a total population that's only slightly larger than the state of New Jersey's have so many different beers?

I see you like them light. The colour, not the alcohol °
My absolute prederence is a Lambic Deneuve. For the light beers, Jupiler or Maes.
Darker, Palm or Rodenbach
Darker still, Grimbergen dark.
I'd kill for a Faro if possible a Lindemans Faro.
