Summer Beer Thread

Those 2 years living in Holland were a hoot....visited numerous Cities in Germany, Belgium and of Course Holland. Took the bullet train from Den Haag to Paris....long romantic weekend with wife...dinner in the restaurant located in the Eiffel Tower.....City of lights lit at night.....hell of a time

You'll enjoy the factory tour and the tasting afterward. Great view of the city up there.

I'm NOT a Guinness drinker. We were 4 in our group and the other 3 couldn't drink the stuff. I took it for the team and finished their pints.

BTW, enjoy the Irish countryside.

---My family (grandma and grandpa) is from Galway, but we did go to the Guiness deal----Regular beer just lacked after days of the thickness of stout!!!

If you are a soccer fan, Bayern Munchen has a great gift shop and Beer Bar where you can sit and watch practice while you sip a few.

Had a German student at UL threaten me for calling it soccer once. He was from Dortmund so maybe it's a regional thing.

Hi all, I'm not trying to brag but man..... I am currently on my first European trip and currently I am in southern Bavaria region and the beer is fantastic...... I am an avid home brewer and have been longing for some fresh balanced ( key word) lagers. Too many American Brewers try gimmicks with there hops and adjunct additions and quite honestly miss the mark. I am currently in Berchtesgaden, Germany and the hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden bier is phenomenal being that its a small local brewery made with mountain spring water. Tomorrow I will go to Salzburg and maybe tour Stiegl brewery. Then on to Munchen. If any of you ever have a chance to visit this region, do it. it's amazing history, culture, food, beer, and scenery ( the alps and numerous crystal clear lakes)are amazing! 😉

Pretty jealous...

That sounds like a dream. Heineken may be termed "skuny beer", but it's damn good. Isn't Belgium where they have those Trappist Monks that make beer that will put you in a coma after one?

Lots of good Trappist beers available around here and in places nearby, just gotta know where to find them and what to look for.

I've been drinking quite a few different beers recently to fill this guy up. Had clown shoes over the weekend.

Rouses and Nunu's have pretty good selections as well. Some stores let you make your own 6-Pack.

Which brew by Clown Shoes?

Spent the last 2 weeks in St. John's, Newfoundland. I had no idea how much Irish culture they had there. Drank a lot of good beer. After a solid week of drinking "heavy" beer I was missing my whiskey.

Had the new Opus Vert from Parish, last night. Excellent stuff.

Anyone know if Mudbug Brewery's offering are available in LAfayette? They starting canning recently.. The Cafe au LAit is very good.

[CajunFan3406]

Thread deserves a bump.

Had Clown Shoes Muffin Top. Belgian Tripel IPA, not to be confused with a triple IPA. Wasn't too bad. I preferred Le Freak by Green Flash a little more. Not a very common style with the IPA/Belgian combo, so I don't have much to compare to.

Cajun Brewing's Cajun Wit is pretty good, can't wait for their Bayou Brunette to be released.
