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.

Marc
 
I think one of our Belgian friends better settle this one Marc :)

Roger

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 :D:D:D:D

Marc
 
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:D

Roger
 
Roger,
One year ago i trow all the beerglasses that i colleted in the past 40 years in the trashbin. If i know that you collect them i would have send them to you. And yes the Karmeliet is one of the best.
See you in Antwerp

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!
 
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 :D)
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.

Marc
 
Oke, I'm the stupid guy. Marc

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:D

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.

Roger
 
'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'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:)
