Belgian Beer Appreciation Thread (2024)

A little surprised she didn't reply: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Cheers!

 

That was exactly my thinking in not inquiring where she got them lol

 

I am quite jealous. I enjoyed Curieux immensely while commuting to the Atlanta area for work a few years ago, but it is not available in the north Texas area where I reside. Not a big fan of pilsners but would jump at the Cur-8 for whiff of Curieux. Ha.

 

I hit this Friday night after work.

 

Great! JUST GREAT! Now I’ve got THAT stuck in my head.

BTW, I believe in Asymmetric Retaliation…

 

What!?!

You aren't a fan of Mariah's song!?!

 

We can’t be friends anymore.

Her brothers Drew and Jim are ok though.

 

Picked up a couple of 4-packs at Costco. Looking forward to them.

 

Another one from my favorite (or second favorite) Bend, Oregon brewery.



Thanks New Guy. Amazing stuff.

From the back of the can - “When the F’n New Guy makes a mistake that turns into a happy accident, we name the beer after him. The FNG is a classic Belgian Abbey Ale that bridges the stylistic gap between a Dubbel and a Tripel. Dark Candi Syrup and Abbey yeast work together harmoniously to deliver a balance of toffee and caramel, with notes of clove and pepper, and a truly clean finish.”

 

Damn, yet another reason for the feds to have eyes on me. I’ve warned my wife so many times about this lol.

 

To be honest, it was a little bit of a letdown compared to what I remembered, although still good.

 

I found last year’s from the can very underwhelming. Not sure if I’ll bother trying it again this year.

 

Well, first timer here. I find it glorious. It reminds me of THE FNG (from Monkless) Or perhaps I should The FNG reminds StB Christmas Ale? Respect, man. The point I guess I am trying to make is that Monkless does a good job doing Belgian styled ales.

My only complaint? Darn Euro sizes…cheating me out of .8 ounces.
