If you want to try something beter, Belgium can offer you 6 trappist of the 11 in the world (we used to have 7 of the 9).


bottom one are the Belgian one, the top one's are the rest of the world, including one pending-for-official Trappist.

From left to right, the Belgian one's.
- Chimay (red, blue, white, La Chimay Dorée, Spéciale Cent Cinquante)
- Orval
- Rochefort (Rochefort 6, Rochefort 8 (Spéciale), Rochefort 10 )
- Westmalle (dubbel, trippel, extra)
- Westvleteren (Blond, Acht, Twaalf)
- Achel (8 Blond/bruin, Extra blond/bruin)
And yes, I've tried them all.

The other one's are:
- Gregorius (Austria)
- La Trappe (NL)
- Zundert (NL)
- Spencer (US)
- Tre Fontane (IT)
- Mont des Cats (FR , but not a "real" trappist, because it's being brewed in Chimay (BE))

Oh and there around 1400 belgian beers, not including all the local micro-breweries. With those included the total number goes above 2000 different beers.
Not bad for a country that's the size of a popcorn, gets called a hellhole and has 5(!) governments (the Flemisch, the french, the german, the brussels and a global one).
That concludes the only thing I can be proud about of my country:

The Belgian beers

Don't forget they 7 planets they discovered AND NAMED AFTER BEER!!

(The actual TRAPPIST1 observatory is in Chile but sponsored by Belgian monks or something)

I hate when places do that. A brewpub close by my girlfriends place has tons of bottled beer that's marked up between 300 and 1000% (yes, one thousand percent). Not cool, especially since there's about 10 bottles I'd like to get, since I've not seen them since I was last in Quebec, but I'm not paying that kind of premium when I know that the bottle is only 10 bucks, but they sell it for 45

How do you get the USA to join a World War?


















Tell them it's almost finished.

Why would you trust some third party rating? Now this one says so right on the label:

You know that a beer sucks when it calls itself premium

Yeah when you order a semi-rare beer at a hipster joint in the center of a yuppy city/suburb center it's way overpriced. It's a neat place though, close-by, and I was out with friends so it's all good. We had fun. And the food is reasonably priced which most of the other places downtown can't say so it even out a little at the end anyway.

That's the way she goes. And I'm never going to buy a bottled beer when I'm at a brewery that has their own beer on tap. The brewery in question has 10 beers of their own on tap, so I consistently have ten beers whenever I go there.

Yeah this particular place isn't it's own brewery but there is an excellent number of drafts, many that are local.

There's a place just down the road that has... 18 rotating taps I think, but we went twice in about a month and a half and their taps hadn't rotated so we don't go there anymore

Looking for these wheels, can't find them. Look like TRD maybe. Any ideas?
