HH - La Chouffe - belgian beer

Yep, that's what I said... I know it's Belgian but I was drinking that in Amsterdam in a Belgian beer pub that Neil brought me to and really liked it. Of course I got pretty drunk but it was a really nice almost stoned drunk where everything was funny and it woke me up rather than put me to sleep.

Nice! Except for the Stella - Stella is crap (the Belgian cat's piss)
Have you tried the St. Feuillin? Lovely. You must also try a Gueuze though they are very 'different'

Heck... go through the list and try them all!

well that's that then... let's pick a weekend when there's apparently nothing major on so flights will be cheap and off we head... I'm sure we could even gather a few together for this 'experiment'

Isn't Stella technically a lager? At least I think it says Lager on the side of the bottle from what I remember at the grocery store..

redrock

Just forget about Stella.

Do I see another holiday on the horizon

Heineken Helen

ok, I've checked flights into Brussels... cos I don't know where else to check and the weekend of 18th-20th April seems to be the cheapest . I'm kinda booked up til April which is why it has to be so far away... so how would that suit anyone?

Maybe you didn't notice the prices, but I would love to try them all...I usually get drunk before we arrive for dinner, then have one or two Hoegaarden drafts....and I haven't seen anyone drinking it with fucking lemon or lime in it ....thanks for the recommendations..

Not much to do where I live, so let's just do Ghent and Bruges instead. Maybe we can invite pearlwax?

that's why April would seem to fit in nicely nothing on then right?

so where do I need to fly into Collin? Could you get to Brussels or are we all going to you

You have a lifetime before you. Don't need to shove them down your throat in one sitting! So now instead of having one or two Hoegaardens, have one or two different ones! (BTW-good on you.. NO lemon or lime )

Hmm... so when then? Cos anytime before April I can't really do what about the weekend before when you're already there?
