But as this is a beer topic, back to the proper theme. The Adriaen Brouwer was a good beer, very tasteful and a nice drinker. It was only 5% ABV but it was a pleasant change.

Oysters - I cannot imagine anything more revolting than something eaten raw from the shell like that

I can ..., but as you said, this is a beer topic, back to the proper theme.
Well, I once had 72 (12X6 or 6x12, couldn't remember how at the end) oysters and 6 pints of Guiness in Ireland.
Result: could not sleep that night.

Guinness=nice
oysters=not nice!
I was always under the impression that oysters were eaten raw, straight from the shells. The only things I will eat from the shells are mussels, probably because you can pull them from the shell without the guts trailing out behind them.
After pulling a snail out of its shell when I was a kid, and seeing all the guts trailing out, I vowed I would never eat anything like that from a shall again. I'm not sqeamish at all because I once saw a lamb literally drop to bits, but I find things in shells thoroughly unappetising :pukey:
My New Year beer will be Tongerlo Dubbel (another newbie for me
)

I haven't had crab for years, couldn't say the last time... But I liked claw meat best, when you pulled it away cleanly it would still be in the shape of the claw, and no guts trailing out to make it look unappetising.
I think we may be having Rodenbach (red) tonight but I'm not sure yet. We are really spoilt for choice since our visit to Brussels in November (not to mention the Sloeber we imported from Brugge in September
)

We don't have any Christmas specials, but we do have the Bush Blonde which I haven't tried before. The Amber and Noel versions are very good.
And how can you really taste and savour a beer when you are drinking two different varieties on the same night? I never do that, I have one beer and only one so I can fully appreciate the taste.

My beer would have been savoured more than yours was. I took 60 minutes with my Sloeber. Unlike many goldens, which are served chilled, Sloeber is a warming drink more in common with darks such as Gulden Draak and Rochefort.sn26567 wrote:Gordon's Christmas and Bush Noël tonight.

There is a MONKS CAFE in PHL, downtown, speciaizing in Belgian Beer on tap, and in bottles. Almost 100 brands. Cuisine, too.
Locally here in NJ we get HOPDEVIL on tap, in the Pilot House, in Brick NJ.
Great stuff, VICTORY Brewing Co. in Doylestown.
I got a case of mixed brews from them from a son in PA, and they are about the best I ever had. Their LAGER is terrific.

And do you remember one morning in the Chatbox in 2003? What you were drinking because the weather was hot?
Yes, I have a long memory, and after that I thought I would try Primus (I had never thought about it until you mentioned drinking it )
