Let’s get started on some Belgians!
I would simply like to express to you what an excellent beer this Chimay Blanche Trappist is: I’m getting into Belgian ales. Well, let me correct that – I’ve been into Belgians for awhile, but there are so many different styles and such, that it really is a world of its own. This one happens [...]
A New Belgium Tidbit

Aaaand we’re back.
Hello friends. I migrated all of our old content over to a new platform, which will allow us to be very flexible as our site grows. In the meantime, I revisited Staropramen – as clean as can be, with significant substance to it. I don’t know why I’ve been drawn to pilsners lately such as [...]
