Hello from Belgium

[Emp]

Ah damn, Antwerp is a little out of my way to go play some boardgames.

@Goodcop, sorry to burst your dreams brother but Blue Moon is not a Belgian beer. In fact the company even got sued for misleading advertising

For a true Belgian beer try something different. Regular beers I can recommend Stella Artois and Jupiler (an average of 4,5. % alcohol) and then if tou are feeling a little adventureous go andlay with some of the big boys. Being Corsendonk, Duvel, Omer, Karmeliet, Chimay, ... These average from 8 to 12 % alcohol and do kick like a mule but they taste goooooooood

I need to put in a legal warning here because you americans are used to drinking beer that has the average alcohol percentage of Belgian piss so don't complain after you wake up on the floor hugging your dog or something. I can not be held responsible or ne sued for such things.

True on that. Duvels kick in after 3 or 4, and after that, cards will become harder to play. "i'll play shamble, ow wait, i mean flashlight, wait, am i playing the heroes or the zombies. Which deck should i choose, ow, i can't choose. To bad, your problem, i'm taking this deck and play shamble on becky. Run B**** Run!!!

The dutch drink a lot of belgium beers, love jupiler. But everybody should at least try Hertog Jan once. My all time favourite. Better then every "dutch" beer we have like heiniken or grolsch. That's piss in a bottle.

Ow and welcome to the forum wozzle.

lol Emp! Bummer about the false advertising but Blue Moon is definitely tasty. I've had Stella Artois and liked it. I had a beer called Shock Top, too, that tasted a lot like Blue Moon but I didn't notice if it claimed to be Belgian or not. Thanks for the advice on the higher alcohol % beers - I prefer them because I like just drinking a beer or two not a 6-pack (or a 12-pack or an 18-pack like a lot of people I run into on the job).

Luckily I don't have a dog.

Blue Moon can be a "gateway beer" to good beer, however... However, we should fork to a new thread to continue the beer talk. I'll let you start it up, Emp!

I haven't seen a beer thread started yet so I will venture one more post here - I was at the store today and found 2, I believe, real Belgian beers that look promising: Duvel Belgian Golden Ale and Gulden Draak Ale. Looking forward to trying them out!

[Emp]

Sorry about that. I have been kinda busy with some pther stuff lately so I didn't have time to put up pics. You guys know me, I'm not the type of guy that just shoots pics of stuff and puts them up. I always try to come up with something original
But Duvel and Gulden Draak is a good starting kit (check your mail Steve)

Correction my dear, bad beer is nasty.
In Belgian we got some bad beers but luckily it is outshined by the awesomeness of the good ones.

Planning my beerthread now. I feel to need to educate the unknowing souls that roam this board.

Enjoy!
