Schelde Brouwerij – ‘n Toeback
Belgian beers: probably should be drinking more of these now I am reasonably close in geographic terms. The one thing that stops this is the lack of stockists in the local area. This excuse is somewhat tragic in that I could just jump on a boat and buy some in Belgium. I have no excuse....
Chimay – Tripel
Its been a long ime since I had a Belgian beer, or even a Tripel. I was introduced to this style of beer when working in The Netherlands. Given that the local (mass produced) beers were not exactly the finest one can find I managed to find the finer establishments that sold beers from over...
Brouwerij De Ranke – XX Bitter
This was supposed to be sitting in the “cellar” for a while so it could mature a little longer, moving back to Europe put pay to that idea (not enough room in storage). This beer is described (on the bottle) as the hoppiest beer in Belgium. This is a Belgian Golden Ale, described in various...
St Bernardus – Prior 8
This is the last of the St Bernardus selection box (with special glass) that I got a while back. I know that the glass pictured here isn’t exactly the best choice, but needs must when you don’t have much choice. (I am also “live” writing this, so as I taste I am typing)
St Bernardus – Abt 12
I think that there are another two of the beers from St Bernardus left somewhere in the house; however, for reasons that will become apparent in time I can’t quite locate them. This is the brewery’s flagship offering, their top notch, show piece beer (this is what their website says). This is a quadrupel style which up...
Brouwerij Van Steenberge – Gulden Draak
Been away for a while visiting the old country (UK) where I found some great beers I’ve not come across before; however, first thing is to get back to the waiting list.
St. Bernardus – Pater 6
The joys of Christmas: you get things that you appreciate on the day and then there are those things that keep giving throughout the year; this is one of them. On a slightly different note I’ve decided to go back to dark backgrounds for now, maybe experiment with a lighter one for the close-ups.
Brouwerij Van Steenberge – Bornem Tripel
Almost through the first batch of Belgian beer, but this is like saying that, after a few glasses of water, you’ve starting to drain Loch Morar
Brouwerij Huyghe – Delirium Tremens
Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or neurological changes. It is also a beer. Good job I tried the beer before finding out it was a medical condition.
