I'm a huge fan of Belgian Ales. I've recently become addicted to Saison or "Belgian Farmhouse ale". I am also a fan of IPA's and higher gavity stouts.

I am a Porter and Stout man (Guinness ora good stout) I my Favorite. I have always been interested in learnig how to brew at home.

All set Charles- Post away!

I'm not a fan of Berliner personally. Some may like it, but not me, not so much.

Yogi - I'd like to post some blog entries from time to time. Can I be an editor?

Charles- Have you ever tried a Berliner Weiss? I got to try one a few weeks ago at American Brewmaster. Just happened to be in the store when someone was giving out samples. Very distinctive flavor. More towards a wine almost. I wasn't blown away by it.

Charles- Hopefully that piece of paper wasn't confused with a tissue.

Oh, one other that I forget to mention -- I only have four bottles left and need to get into the brewhouse and make a new batch, but I have also been enjoying my Wit that I make from Pierre Celis's original recipe.

I know the recipe is accurate and is Pierre's; he gave it to me in Leuven in the 1990s. We were at a dinner in a town called Kessel-lo, and in walks Pierre Celis and Michael Jackson (The Beer Hunter). One of my Belgian friends knew Pierre, and proceeds to tell him I was a homebrewer, and next thing you know, Pierre and Michael were at our table drinking and telling stories. I asked Pierre where I could find his recipes (he's always supported artisinal hobbyists) and he wrote it on a piece of paper for me right then and there.

I have been enjoying Orval for the past few weeks, and the occasional Delerium Tremens or Le Fin du Monde.

Pretty soon, however, we'll be camping and enjoying crispy cold Weihenstephan copies as they mature in the bottle.

Good point corona- That way if you buy something you don't like you've only got one bottle. But- If you really like you'll have to drive back the same day. LOL

Hopefully it will hit the market some day.

Yogi - you gonna share?
