Having a wee dram of Glenlivet scotch before I hit the bag

Well I started with a couple of pints of :

that wasn't enough, so I went back and got a double shot of Urthel:

I now have problems seeing straight.  [thumbsup]

You do an excellent job of finding interesting beers [beer]

Water, for now.

 8) Coffee made from beans my sister brought us from Guatemala !  It is so good that George would probably eat the beans like candy !  [laugh]

Carlsberg at the moment. [drink]  Got to liking those while in Denmark earlier this summer. [beer]

Did someone say interesting beers?  Should I start the Belgian beer list?
 [beer]
Well, at this precise moment I'm not drinking anything, but I do have a couple of Tongerlo in the fridge, and two days ago I was at a place that claimed to have 2004 beers in stock (delirium café).  Yeah, you read that right: 2004 different beers.  I even drank a coconut beer (Coconut Mongozo), and yes: it is horrible.

But here is the short list of what I've had so far in belgium:
Stella Artois (the local beer, brewed less than 2 miles from here)
Jupiler
Maes
Leffe Blond
Leffe Donker/Bruin
Leffe 9*
Hoegaarden
Hoegaarden citrus
Hoegaarden rosée
Hoegaarden Grand Cru
Kasteel
Chimay Red
Chimay Tripple
Chimay Blue
Duvel
Delirium Tremens (from the Delirium Café, the place with 2004 beers)
Lucifer
Belgoo
La Guilotine
Petrus Tripple
 [beer]
And I'm sure I'm forgetting a few... 

Yes, that's right.  I'm the little kid who doesn't know how to play along and has to one-up everybody.    [laugh]

Cheers!

Did they pass through a Civet cat?

 [laugh]




...hey, wait, why am I laughing? I've done that before.  8)

So jealous. Keep up the good work, both drinking yummy beers and keeping the list.

Other than the cool location factor, do you find the beers taste different there than here, say the Chimays for example?  Did I mention I'm really jealous?

Andre, how close are you to the Spa racetrack?  The Formula 1 race is there this weekend (I'm watching practice right now)

Not if you know people...   ;D

You are my hero  [beer]

Used to wear out the one they had outside of Hot Springs, AR. But that has been a long time ago. I liked the dual Ma-Deuce set up on the back of a military jeep. Had a video of my ex wife working over a friend's M-60 on a tri-pod. Pretty damn funny. We rode up once on the old Beemer R100RS and my friends hauled my stuff. Good times for sure... but it's been a while. [thumbsup]

Wait... aren't I supposed to be drinking something on this thread? Shit, I'd better get busy! [laugh] [wine] [drink]

I've noticed a few differences, but not in the abbey beers (not that I drank a lot of abbey beers in the states).  One big difference is Heineken, which now tastes like a much lighter beer than what I remember, and of course Stella, which tastes much better from the tap than from a can (don't they all?).  Now, I think the "watery taste" of Heineken might be due to a subconscious comparison to every other beer I've been drinking here.

If there is any difference in the abbey beers, its in the way they are served. Here most beers have a specific glass they must be served in, and any café/bar/pub/restaurant worth anything will have the proper glasses for every beer they serve (as well as generic tulip-shaped beer glasses for foreign beers).  These glasses are supposed to "release the aroma, preverve the froth, enhace the flavor, etc...". Do they do that? Maybe, I'm no connoisseur.  But I do prefer drinking out of those glasses than out of a pint or pilsner glass.

Here are a few examples of proper beer glasses:

Chimay:

Duvel:

Delirium Tremens:
(http://edmcdevitt.com/assets/images/Delirium_Tremens.jpg)

And so on and so forth...

As for the Spa, it is really close to where I'm at.. not much more than 50 miles.  But unfortunately F1 tickets are prohibitively expensive (as are motogp tickets here), and without a car those 50 miles start looking like a long trip... If there was a direct train it would be one thing, but the suggested route is train->walk->bus->bicycle.

So I'm doing the next best thing, recording the training sessions, and hopefully I'll get to watch the race tomorrow (the DVR will be busy with WSBK, which for some silly reason is on live at EXACTLY the same time as F1). Oh, these silly europeans!

We went up to Lochranns Irish Pub in Frisco last weekend and I ordered a Maredsous (bottle). The bartender gave me JUST the bottle and when I asked for a glass, she gave me a standard pint glass and replied, "were Irish, we don't do that fancy glass crap".  [laugh]

Umm, Frisco? Dude...
Call me next time, I'll met you at the Monk [thumbsup]

I've never met a snotty Irish bartender before. Are you sure she was Irish?

I had a coupla Negra Modelos at Avila's [thumbsup] [beer]

Maredsous is good stuff... which one did you have?  IIRC, they have a 6% blond, 8% dark, and 10% tripel.  I haven't tried the tripel yet, but the others are quite good!

BTW, there was a beer festival in brussels this weekend... life is good!
 [beer]

It was pretty good (for Frisco). The Shepherds Pie and the fish and chips were both way too greasy however there were many good beers to choose from and many young waitresses to ogle; so they've got that going for 'em.


They only had the 8% (which will do in a pinch). My favorite is the Tripel. Give it a go the next time you get a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Glad to hear things are going well Andre.  [beer]

Never seen the blond. The 8 & 10% are both great but I like the 10% the best.  And not just for the extra 2%.

Those strong beers are dangerously good...  at the beer festival I had a chance to try a Malheur Donker, a 12% beer.  Very tasty dark beer (as the name implies).

Also had a chance to try DeuS, am 11.5% beer/"barley champagne" which is surprisingly good.  This, of course, was after drinking a Kwak and a Tripel Karmeliet, two 8% beers from the same brewery (both quite good as well).

And fine, I also had a Brugze Zot blond.  Yes, I drank a lot of beers, but it was a beer festival, dammit!  And I really only had half of each, since I was trading beers with my cousin.   Stop judging me!!!  [laugh]

The funny part was that I had a breathalyzer test afterwards, knowing that I was in no shape to drive (not that it matters, I took the train to and from brussels), and passed!

Proof that I was there (with the Malheur Donker in one hand and the DeuS in the other):
 [beer]

yeah, he's plastered alright ;D

How do you Belgians ever get any work done??  Two or three beers and you're ready for a nap....   or three more beers.

Some kind soul left a Belgian Piraat Ale at the last party.  I thought it was some oddball domestic microbrew, 'til I finished it and pulled it out of the coozy for a looksee.  10.5% and delicious. [thumbsup]  Lucky me, and thanks whoever you are!  Time to see what else I have down there.

yes, but in a good way.  ;D


What's even more incredible is that it is not uncommon to go out at 9 or 10am and see people at cafe's drinking beers, or to see cyclists stop in the middle of the day, drink a tripel or two, and then keep going.  I feel their liver's pain!

so, Piraat Ale, huh?  I"ll keep an eye out.  If you get a chance, try a Kasteel... a very nice 11,5 or 12% one.  Or better yet, get a Hoegaarden Grand Cru, but you must drink it from a big enough glass.  Just opening the beer creates so much foam I had to spend 10 minutes sipping foam from the bottle when I drank it at a party.  Fantastic beer, though.

looks like a good time!!

Cool, it was the "young waitresses" that I was interested in anyway :) ... they can keep the greasy food. The mexican restaurant next door looks nice too.

envy.  i has it.

Speaking of drinking good beers in the month of special brews I thought I'd throw this out...Would anyone be interested in a quazzi-bike night at The Covey on S. Hulen in FW? They have the most sublime in-house brews. They always have a great IPA but this time of year Brewmeister Jamie Fulton works on perfecting the Oktoberfest www.thecovey.com/Brews.html.

Thursday night maybe?

Directions: From I-30 (east or west) take Hulen St. south. As you pass the bridge and a couple of lights The Covey is on the right.

I'll make a new post too just the same.

That sounds like it has the making of a good westies Thursday night meet up! [thumbsup] Twenty bucks says you get some feedback on that one! [thumbsup] [drink]

I was hoping you might make the cruise from the far east so we could talk about riding down to AMS t-day. I'm working the corners and am planning on being there a little after 7.

Coffee at Motopia

Probably will stick to tea tonight.  Fighting a cold and all.  If I feel up to it, though, there's some Chimay Tripel in the fridge just waiting for me.

I was going to drop in some time ago and brag about the beer list now having 52 items, but that would be rude and childish [cheeky].  I do love Belgium, though... Where else can you go to a bar and drink a trappist beer, then a chinese bamboo beer (awesome, by the way) and then some obscure micro-brewed stuff? [beer]

By the way, Ronr: I've tried the Piraat and the Maredsous 10%.   Tasty indeed.  Both of 'em!

If any one of you ever get a chance to drink a Judas, I recommend it.  It's one of those Duivelse beers (demonic, satanic, devilish, I'm not sure what the exact translation is)  There's a bunch I could recommend, but you gotta start somewhere, right?

Dammit, one of you get your ass over here so I can share the joy!!!  And bring me a motorcycle, dammit.  I'm deep in withdraw...  [moto]

Keep up the good work. That's some fine research you're doing. Hope I can make it out that way someday.

mmmm.....  drinking coffee...

Water

Mata Hari Absinthe at Cafe Rembrandt. C'mon green fairy!!

got a bottle here at home.  also tried the Pernod version.  Experimenting with different methods of drinking it, and waffle back and forth between whether or not to add water...  definitely do the "absinthe soaked sugar cube", ignited, and then pitched into the glass...  but sometimes adding water in there as well softens the absinthe pregnant dog slap that awaits your first sip....

Mine was prepared "Bohemian" style, with the flaming cube. It turned a caramel brown and she poured the water on it when it was nearly burned out. Pretty mild served that way. They have a few versions, so I want to try some more.

Right now I'm drinking Coca-Cola...

my company gives free sodas.. i sware i've gained  like 10lbs since i started here...

i had a bottle of aventinus a few nights ago, a german doppelbock.  really good stuff i thought.

cabernet-merlot....I know it sounds  :o but it is my NEW Fave  [wine]

protein shake and water

no, slag didn't help me make it  [roll]

My girlfried is sick, with the temperature running hot, just like wrongly wired Ducs, so I am drinking Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro lighweight bubble water on my own browsing stuff tonight :D

Sipping 1921 Tequila Reposado Reserva Especial from a quaint mold glass snifter of uncertain provenance that I use for good stuff. A shot glass of cold homemade sangrita for a chaser.

Ahhh, to be in Cuernavaca again!!!

Laphroaig & Spaten Optimator.  ;D

8 oz can of Miller Lite

Hope they get you fixed up Ron.  [thumbsup]

No surprise that I'm about to drink some coffee.

colar bone broken, now he's being nursed to help

Snowboarding?

Midget tossing?

What happened?

 [evil] Scotch Mist - Balvenie  [thumbsup]

Monopolowa with a jalapeño stuffed olive

what is a scotch mist?  never had one....

Hmmm... My invite must have been lost in the mail :P

 ;D Fill glass with ice crushed to powder,  add Scotch 2/3 - 3/4 way up the ice - swirl until frost forms outside the glass! - enjoy ! I think I need another !  ;D

That sounds like the Bourbon Street Pickle, except it's missing a lot of vegetables

Good thing about waiting for a table at P. F. Chang's for an hour in downtown Ft. Worth the night before The Cowtown Marathon is that they are serving up some very strong Mai Tais to satiate the throngs. Damn, I mean I forgot all about the mash of humanity this night offers. It's sooooo crowded here in downtown tonight.

Tecate, next up Negra Modelo.  Things are getting better.

Kahula and Ariba vanilla coffee  [thumbsup]

LOTS OF COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duvel paired with a CAO Americana  [drink]

drroooooool...   [beer]

I'm havin' a Shiner Commemorator. Pretty tasty IMHO.  [drink]

Delirium tremens. My favorite

Shiner Commemorator... [drink]

It makes the next couple hours of trying to catch up on work just that much nicer less painful... [bang]

What is this?  Haven't seen this one yet.

Also haven't seen the Shiner Hellis 99 in quite a while.

100 anniversary special.  yummy... [beer]

I've had some Shiner with the 100 year label, but I thought it was just Shiner with a 100 year label.  Must look into this.  [drink]

Generally when overseas in a Muslim country there's not much choice.....so you have to bring your own.....Macallan 12, Lagavulin 16, Yamazaki Single Malt Whiskey(Japanese scotch), Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon and the Budweiser of single malts- Glenlivit 12....2 bottles each gets me through a 90 day trip quite nicely.
G

Glenlivit, any age [thumbsup]

Dude! Doesn't that equal out to around a quarter of a bottle a day?  [beer]  Here's to ya! Cheers!

Estancia Chardonnay, Monterey California.  Mmmmm-mmm  [wine]  Makes me wish I was sitting out on a beach somewhere watching the sunset.

This is from Shiners website in the "Anniversary Beers" section.

"In 2005, five years out from our Centennial Anniversary, we introduced the first in a series of limited-edition, commemorative brews. We called it Shiner 96
Märzen-Style Ale. We continued our countdown to our 100th Anniversary with Shiner 97 Bohemian Black Lager and Shiner 98 Bavarian-Style Amber.

In the final year of the countdown, we happily introduced our latest anniversary brew, Shiner 99 Munich-Style Helles. Just like Shiner 98, Shiner 97 and Shiner 96, this brew pays tribute to the Czech and German farmers who settled Shiner, Texas and began brewing their Old World beers back in 1909. So raise your glass to them as we celebrate 99 years of brewing fine beers."

I liked the Helles but I'm liking the Commemorator better.  [thumbsup]   [beer]

That's pretty cool Shiner info. Didn't know they were doing all the anniversary beers except the Hellis last year. Those other ones sound good, wonder why they don't continue to make them. Stef picked up some Hellis and Commemerator on the way home tonight. Both good. Need to drink a lot more to decide which I prefer.

ALLWAYS a good plan!

FYI the Shiner 100 is tits
but right now I'm drinking Kaptain Morgan, Diet Coke & lime

never gets old...

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'"
-Deep Thought, Jack Handy

Oh dear GOD.  Only the thought of the smells turns my stomach.  Let us know your success, or lack thereof.  [puke]
Good luck finding someone to try this with too  [popcorn]

Feliz Cinco de Mayo [beer]

Afternoon coffee  [coffee]

Le Tourment Vert, 1:3 parts with ice water: my first encounter with the Green Fairy (my brush with a raki in a Turkish restaurant doesn't count, it didn't contain wormwood); been wanting to try it for years (they legalized absinthe spirits in the US in 2007).

(http://www.letourmentvert.com/_assets/images/absinthe-mythology-image.jpg)

"Le cout de la lucidite inspiree" is molded into the bottom of the bottle, whatever the MTBWTB that means....
(http://www.letourmentvert.com/_assets/images/absinthe-banned-image.jpg)

On-line reviews say there are far better variants, but this is not bad and on sale at Goody Goody for $37.
Guess it's time to put Moulin Rouge on the DVD player....

Goody Goody rocks! They have great prices on everything. That's what actually keeps me from working there. [drink] [thumbsup]

My absinthe journey began in Prague in 1996...  i actually watched a guy I was slamming absinthe with fall out of a three story bathroom window, and he was fine.  He looked pretty ragged when I saw him and his cousin on the Charles Bridge the next morning though...

I like the Raki also, especially watching the ice cube cloud the clear liquid...

Right now, though, I'm sitting in @#$%@! fort worth waiting for the rain to stop, and drinking #$%!#$% herbal tea.

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4501752316_46bff38f6b.jpg)

Nice glass. Excellent taste. [thumbsup] My answer to "what are you drinkin'?" after tonight's baseball game is "not enough!!" Bad news bears and them some!!! [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] It will be a long season...

Chateau Neuf du Pape, I wish. But not with my
Jumbo Jacks :P

ugh, after two nights straight of "into the wee hours" of drinking I'm finally onto water.

 :) Cinzano vermouth with a splash of perrier and a key lime wedge.

& since I have been lead astray by some in this crowd, I may fire up a stogie too!

Yep, I'll have a stogie later too [thumbsup]
as for now, water, tap water ;D

Roller derby girls, drinks, and karoke later at the stone elephant (near abrams and NW highway). Everyone is welcome! 

Dammit!  How far away is that from DC?

Wow, I know where that is, I live right by there. It's Abrams and Skillman. Right across from the Super Target and in the parking lot of the Tom Thumb. But I don't do karoke... there's a state law against that happening. ;D

French Roast.  Black.  Plain, just coffee and water [thumbsup]

Stella at the Dubliner. Large contingency of Ducs here now. Come on out!!

Wish I could. On a much needed break between ball games! [bang]

sounds like the kitchen points are replenished.  [thumbsup] [moto]

Seriously working on it! As always. [thumbsup] ;)

Had a Newcastle on tap at the Dub.  Very good beer [drink]

One of my favs. There are groovy beers but I really like that one. [thumbsup]

And I thought it was good out of the bottle! [beer]

Ending the day with a La Fin Du Monde in a "2008 Spring Hill Country Run" pint glass.

personally, I'm enjoying an h-TWO-o chaser after many Stellas (plural=Stelli).

Some nice Sauza Anejo Conmemorativo over ice and watching my TIVO'd Assen WSBK races... top that shit! [laugh]

You hold the ace of spades my man [thumbsup]

Only thing is missing a good cigar... which the wifely unit would never let me have here at home. :P That explains my many mowing trips to the farm. Ahhhh... the tractor and a good cigar is hana!! As it should be. [thumbsup]

Just opened a fresh bottle of Dalwhinnie 15 year single malt [thumbsup] [wine]

Sounds good [thumbsup]
Glenlivet is my fav

An ice-cold bottle of A&W Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda (2010).  Mmmmm...  [beer]

 [cheeky]

Un poquito El Viejo Luis con un vaso frio de sangrita Viuda de Sanchez. Muy sabroso!

Famega White Vinho Verde   [wine]

I could use a good retsina and some lamb dolmas [wine]

  [coffee]   That just sounds kinda nasty

Aw come on. White wine and rice and lamb stuffed grape leaves are awesome [thumbsup]

La Fin Du Monde--nice post-ride drink after close to 200 miles on the Duc today.  [moto] [thumbsup]

200 miles today!!!?  With a helment I assume :P

I did say the Duc...


now the Busa, on the other hand...  ;)

Diet cola, lemon juice and tater distillations.

shiner bock...

Had a Gubbna (sp?). 10% beer!

It's magically delicious

What is the other 90%, Vodka?

Ha! It's a strong IPA.

Enjoy it now, sooner maybe it's gonna be the end of "La Fin du monde" the best one of Unibroue, it's the one i prefer. In the past, in the 90's Unibroue was Québécois brewery, started by Robert Charlebois, french rock singer.  In 2004 Sleeman (Ontario) bought Unibroue, then in 2006 Sapporo bought Sleeman. So now La Fin du monde is still produce in Québec, but manage by Japanese who after some market studies, supposely, want to stop Unibroue production  ??? :'(
Nothing is done by now, so La Fin du monde, La Maudite, La Blanche de Chambly, La Trois-Pistoles, l'Éphémère, Don de Dieu, & Raftman are still available to chill after a day ride, but for how long?....

After this long replypoststory i'm gonna bought a six pack La Fin du monde au Dépanneur du coin, beer for the end of the workday too
 [beer] [drink]

...and they didn't ask us?  >:(

The only other one I tried was La Trois-Pistoles...not too bad, but La Fin Du Monde is much better IMO.  [thumbsup]

I'd hate to see it *end.*

Part of a story I heard "Capones?  They were our best
seller."  ;D

French roast coffee. Ooh La La ;D

Gascon Malbec, Argentina  [wine]

What am I drinking? Apparently not enough. ;D
