Enjoy it mate!.. Tonight I will be using that glass as well… But for a Rodenbach Vin de Céréale 2004...  ::)

But first… Hoegaarden Grand Cru... I did not have high expectations of it, and it defo wasn't on any priority list, but I thought to myself "Seul, don't be so closeminded, you eejit!.. Come on!.. Grab a bottle!.. ATTA BOY!.." And hey: it's not bad at all!.. Nothing crazy, but a solid beer!..

Monk's Ale, brewed in Abiquiu, NM: New Mexico's version of a Belgian Trappist Brewery

Sick glass, Adam!.. And very nice, Rafa!.. 

Yesterday I had the Vin de Céréale 2004. It was borderline between expired and drinkable… Too bad!..

I have discovered Brewdog Manchester :). I could leave here broke and paralytic…

If I recall so correctly, Geers has Brewdog urm… brews. Which one should I try bearing in mind I prefer mildly sweet, very strong dark ales...

And their take on a Belgian Wit Ale:

[mclaincausey]

Epic Hopulent Nitro 9%abv. Awesome.

It was actually more of a straw color terrible photo.

St. Bernardus Abt 12 10%abv. Even awesomer

Rodenbach GC need sourness. Yummy.

Chouffe Hublon back to the hops. Well done Belgium.

Stone R&R Coconut IPA

@Seul:

That was the strongest dark they had on draft. The strongest beer ever brewed was released by Brewdog a few years ago… 'The End of History', 50% ABV, sadly I never got round to picking a bottle up :(.

If you can get to a Brewdog bar, it's well worth it. It won't be a cheap experience but you will find something you enjoy.

McKleine: drinking Grand Cru out of a La Trappe glass?.. Excellent!.. You should post more ITT mate!!!

Me?.. I scored an older Rodenbach GC glass this morning at the fleemarket for 0.5 €… Decided it was time to finally open my Vintage 2010... Fans of sour, complex beer, TAKE HEED!.. This is spectacularly good!!!

[mclaincausey]

Yeah that goblet was what they put it in at the bar. Place called Muddy Pig, great food too. It's down the block from the place I posted about that does a Belgian Beer Fest. Both great tap houses. This is in St. Paul so I don't go there often.

If you liked the St Bernardus Abt 12, try and score some Rochefort 8 or 10… The 10 is one of my fav brews...

[mclaincausey]

I've had the 8, I'll look for the 10. I do love Bernardus, thanks for the pointer!

[Seul]

You'd love Westvleteren XII… I'm trying to score two cases by the end of the year (pciking them up at the abbey), if I manage to do so, I'll send you a bottle... Pinky swear!..

[mclaincausey]

I've been wanting to read that since Michael Jackson waxed poetic on it. Would love to try, and would try to find something similarly rare from here in exchange.

So I picked this up the other day because you and others rave about it.  I'm definitely not a beer aficionado, more of a wine guy, but Fred I would give it a go.  I don't have the proper beer glass and have no idea about the right temperature to serve at.  Looking for your expert advice on alternative glass and temperature.
