    Looks like I'll need to pick up something Belgian for this occasion.

    Thanks for the reminder! My liver is now preemptively cursing me.

    Well this local place is serving all you can eat mussels and fries, and serving as much Belgian drafts as they can. Ive been on a tear of Belgians all week:
    Delirium Tremens, Delirium Nocturnum, Gulden Draak, St Louis Gueuze, Kasteel Rouge, Liefmans Fruitesse, Steenbrugge Tripel, Ommegang Belgian Independence Day, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Wittekerke, Cuve Van de Kaizer Blauw & Rood, and Gouden Carolus Ambrio.

    Whatever I happen to see on draft around Durham or Carrboro this weekend for sure saturday. Tomorrow is going to be from the shipment of Cigar City I get in, but Saturday has many more fantastic Belgians (I hope I get that 4 year old bottle of St Bernardus Abt 12 by then).

    we are on a 24/7 Beligian diet around here, but it is good to know we have an excuse.

    Now that I know this, my plans to head up to Hopleaf with a few friends tonight will be all the more fitting.

    I was unwinding the cage on a 3F Oude Geuze, but when I got to the last turn, it just flew off - taking the cage with it. Cheers!

    I would, but I'm in Brazil right now and Belgian imports are god-in-heaven ridiculously expensive here. As in, pretty typical to see a 330ml bottle of Duvel for about $15, 330ml of La Chouffe for $12.50, etc. So . . . probably not, but I might have a little something Belgian, if I can swing it. Sucks, because Ommegang is only about 45 minutes from where I love back home! Brazil's great, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to be there today.
