Belgium Beer

[LPJR]

I was at the store tonight when I ran into Sussex County's finest TUNA hunter and fisherman/ friend Nick  (nmc02 on here)..After spending the afternoon getting up some of the remaining fieldstones on the rear walls of the garage and losing lots of water I was buying a 12 pack of Molson XXX....Now I am not a beer drinker and this will last in my fridge a month or 2, lol...but Nick insisted I try his favorite beer of all time. It was "St. Bernardus Abt 12 Begian abbey ale." At $10 a bottle I told him it better be good.....

 

Well not so much. Maybe because I am not a big fan of beer to begin with (although Haskell Hunter's concoction at Jack's Manfest this winter was quite good I must say).......It was very strong and dark. With 10% alcohol per bottle, lol. Pictured below is parts of the wall which led me to quench my thirst in the first place as well as the Belgium beer. Anyone other than Nick a fan of this?

 

Hoping to grout both walls next week and will post pics once they are finished. Kudos to any mason on here or anywhere. You guys definitely earn your money. (3blade)

I'm a total beer snob and brewed my own beer for quite a while. I have to say that Belgian beer is not really my favorite. I never really understood the appeal.

Can you loan me some money?  

[nmc02]

Lou is rich. I get all my loans from him. The bottle is 20 oz...so price is not terrible

Agreed! You either love em or hate em. I'm a huge fan, I'd rather spend the money and enjoy them than drink a run of the mill beer. To each his own.

I'm not a fan of Belgian beer either, I think it's probably the #1 most overrated category.
