I'm back from another trip...

Are you a Belgian beer fan? I've been a Belgian beer fan for about 5 years, since we took a vacation holiday to Brussels, Brugge, Ghent and the surrounding areas. I'm venturing over on my own the week of Thanksgiving on a beerlovers journey through the museums and breweries of Belgium. Couldn't talk the wife into joining me on this one.

Fandamntastic idea. In addition to Tim Webb's _Good Beer Guide to Belgium and Holland_, make absolutely sure that you also get yourself a copy of _LambicLand_, by Tim Webb, Chris "Podge" Pollard, and Joris Pattyn. If you are even a little bit interested in lambics, it will be one of your most worthwhile investments.

The girl doesn't know a good thing when she sees it! Unless she's gotta stay home and be somebody's mom, anyway . . .

They did that in Georgia, if it helps any.

I just got a signed edition of Tim Webb's Good Beer Guide 2 weeks ago. I'll have to pick up the LambicLand book.

Thanks for the advice!

Dave

It certainly did.

(I got the Bison Brewery Chocolate Stout in Athens, Ga.)

Hi Bill,

Yeah, I thought so, too.

I really wanted to try it, though. I don't think I'll buy it again unless the price gets a lot more reasonable.

Well, I see you fellows talking about IPAs, hopped up beers, and stuff; not so much about the dark stuff.

That's what makes it such a prize!

Penelope

Ah, that's why I bought it, because I love the porter.

Grant's Perfect Porter is one of my favorites. It's a really nice beer to kick back with at the end of the day.

Well, darn.

I *just* pulled the cork and I guess I got one of the good ones. Hehe..

The first couple of sips kind of caught me a bit off guard. VERY complex flavours invaded my palate but...now...I'm beginning to appreciate this double stout for exactly that reason. I'll buy this one again, for sure.

Best regards, Bill
