When we celebrate Jul (christmas) I have found out that Samuel Adams Honey Porter perfectly fits with the heavy christmas food and Snaps (Schnapps).

I haven't trusted them since the their punching scandal from the 80s, when glycol was found in the beer. They claimed it was contamination from cleaning the brewing vessels. Several Austrian wineries had a similar scandal around the same time.
The Warsteiner Pilsner glasses are very nice, though, very elegant, when also very fragile.
Prost!

Derek,
You know that Geuze is a beer mixed out off young and old Lambiek beers.
Lambiek beer is as close as you can go to the middle age's beer.
Geuze is my favorit beside Hoegaarden white in the Summer.
If you can get it: try a Mort Subite Kriek......after Liefmans goudenband (gold band) this is the best.
If you come to Antwerp you can taste alot of beers in one pub. I know a pub that have 20 beers out of the tap, and 300 beers in bottle.
It's only 1 hour drive from my home. So, you be invited....i do BOB

thw Antwerp show is absolutely on my list. Don't seem to be any bargain flights from Scotland but I'll keep looking.
I've been lucky to be offerred early retirement next March so intend to get around more shows.
I've been to Brussels quite a few times and have had great beers in some fantastic bars, particularly liked Mort Subite although Falstaff was an experience not to be missed.
What was great was to get some Scottish bottled beers that were brewed exclusively for the Belgian market one was served in a thistle shaped glass.
Beer in Britain was always good if yoiu knew where to look but there are some fantastic brews on the market now, if you are coming to Euro next year I'll bring you a bottle of Harviestoun Brewery's Ola Dubh - Black Oil in English. The beer is aged in oak casks provided by the Highland Park malt whisky distillery on Orkney......delicious

Some of our brewers are doing the same thing, with old bourbon barrels. Old Dominion, down in Virginia, and Weyerbacher's here in the Lehigh Valley, in Easton. They bought old barrels from the Jack Daniel's distillery. I had Old Dominion's Bourbon Barrel Stout at a brewery festival about 5 years ago or so, it was excellent, very smooth, blending the flavors of the bourbon with the stout. Weyerbacher's first effort came a year or two later, and it wasn't quite as good--they didn't clean the barrels sufficiently, and the beer tasted like a pint of stout with bourbon dumped in it. Subsequent batches were better, though.
You're making me thirsty.
Prost!

My beers of choice are 2012 Black Ale from Point Brewery in Steven's Point Wisconsin, Guinness (Draught or Stout), Warsteiner Dunkel and George Killian's Red. There are a couple other VERY dark beers I've tried that I liked, but have no clue to their names. I found it interesting that of the posters here in the US not one mentioned any of the standard nationally available domestics like Budweiser, Michelob, Miller, Coors, etc.

Tonight I have been mainly drinking Newcastle Brown Ale, a throw back to my long lost youth,
Michael, clearly you have gone over to the dark side, no bad place to go. If you can get them try any of Munich's doppelbocks, usually their titles finish with 'ator' Salvator (my favourite Py paulaner) others include Dominator, Triumphator although just to break the rule Aventinus is one worth keeping an eye out for.
Brad, I know what you mean about poorly prepared barrels, an Edinburgh Brewer called Innes and Gunn produce some lovely beers matured in spirit casks. Their earliest efforts were a mile away from what the are producing now.
Marc I've found another couple of 'specialist' scottish beers that I think you'll like, they are in 33cl bottles so taking them back across the channel should be easy enough, As for me anything unusual would be great Cantillon being a favourite, although believe me I'll have no intention of carrying it back to Scotland other than in my bladder (crude but honest).
And just to emphasise a point I made earlier in this entertaining topic ORVAL the best beer in the world, no debate, no queston, no alternative. best wishes from no mean city.
Cheers
