Good work Roger,
For my English friend.
Oud Bruin is no Belgium beer, but Dutch.
It looks more like a Trappist, but not in those fancy glasses from the last decade.

Maybe, but Oud Bruin is Dutch. I grow up untill my thirties near the Belgian Border, and always liked the strong Belgian Beers.
Dark brown beer like this must be a double trappist. Tripple is yellowish. I think it good be a Westmalle, Grimbergen, Petrus etc, etc etc.
Roger, if you come to our show we good have some of this good stuff together. I'm very sure at the end of the day we could make more jokes in one hour then we paint figure's in a lifetime

Your making me feel very thirsty. The bottom shelf of one of my figure cabinets is reserved for my beer glasses. There are ones from Westmalle, Vondel, Karmeliet Tripel (One of my favourite beers), Rodenbach, Hoegaarden and Piraat.
I would like nothing better than sharing some beers and jokes.
I'm going to have one now, you've talked me into it

Let me solve this beer problem. It couldn’t have been a Belgian beer. Only a small part of our country wasn’t occupied by the Germans (like in the comic strips of Asterix). There was not enough raw material to brew and all cupper was confiscated. In that part of the Yser many pubs brew theyr own beer from French malt, Belgian hops and a lot of stuff you normaly don’t use in the beer making proces. The majority of the ales and malts where imported from Great Britain and here they are drinking one, namely a Guinness. Sometimes the barman mixed the imported beers with his own.
Oud bruin does still exist in Belgian and is brewed in Diest. It’s a 5% vol. alcohol dark brown and clear beer.
Your health!

Thank you Roger very interesting. I thought I'd heard of a Belgian beer called Oud Bruin aswell as a Dutch one. But when Marc queried it I thought it must be my memory playing tricks.

Oke, I'm the stupid guy. Because Oud Bruin is the darkest beer in the Netherlands. (every sunday morning after a bicycle ride we drink some bottles to make the sugar in our blood at normal value )
Never know that there was a Belgian to. Gonna look at my Local Dealer (in Stabroek near Antwerp) for some.
At least the barman made some good bears out of nothing for his quest's.

Not true. You have a beer called Oud Bruin and you didn't know the Belgians did too, nothing stupid about that.
I'd like to come on one of your bike rides. It's another interest of mine and also involves stopping off at nice country pubs for a beer or two
Let me know which beers you get Marc, there's a very good beer shop not too far from where I live that has a lot of Belgian ales.

'Old brown' is a name for special brewed beer with many different flavours.
Old brown Netherlands beer is an underfermented one, sweet to very sweet and with a law alcohol percent. They add sugar after the brewing proces. In the old days this was done when the brew had failed. Brands: Heineken, Grolsch, Brand and Bavaria.
Belgian brown beer is upfermented and brewed mostly in Oudenaarde and Roeselare (Flanders). It has been rested in oak barrels til a lactid acid is become. It is not so sweet as the Netherlands brown beers, rather light sour. The ‘Lambik’ beers are a kind of brown beers and used for the mixing with fruit extracts. Brands: Zulte, Rodenbach (is a red brown beer), Bruin’s ale, Pater bruin bier, Bruintje, Pilaarbijter bruin, Leroy bruin and many, many others.
Schol!

I've had Lambic, which I enjoyed and had a lovely sourish bite to it.
Rodenbach is from Roeselare I think Roger? That's a beer avaiable here to me here in the UK.

Yep, Rodenbach is from Roeselare, mostly a summer beer on a pavement with some shrimps from the North Sea. Some add grenadine to make it more sweeter. It's not my taste, I like my beer brown or blond (trimple or dubbel tripple), strong and sweet = abbey beer.

I'm starting to feel thirsty again. I've got to agree, I like my abbey beers too.
Triple or Double, however the mood takes me. I think I mentioned my favourite earlier, Karmeliet Tripel, hmmmmm.
The sign of a good vignette is a discussion about beer

Karmeliet is one of the best strong beers. If you like this one than, if you've ever have the opportunity to drink a dark 'Kasteelbier', you never drink something else. Look out! It's a tricky one.
