We have Hoegaarden (pronounced WHO-gaarden) on tap year round...White beers are becoming more and more popular as they are very refreshing and easy to drink...another good one is Manekin Pis (the tap handle is of the statue, too ;D).

check out wittekerke sometime. i think it's a great little white wheat. at the bar here they'll mix it with a raspberry lambic and it's surprisingly drinkable on one of those swelteringly hot days.

i will say that if i were ever going to drink a beer, i would drink HEFENWEISEN ..i think thats how its spelled...trie it a couple times a few years back and its a wheat beer and it tastes really good.

It's called 'Hefeweizen' or 'Weissbier'.
Real men drink Bock or Doppelbock of course (up to 12% alc.)  ;D

stouts and IPAs can make it up to 20%. some even stronger. check out dogfish head's 120 minute IPA or the mephistopheles stout. belgian tripels, quadrupels, and malt beverages routinely hit around the 14% mark as well. ;)

Yeah but they probably go the 'Eisbock' route, extracting frozen water. Although theoretically it doesn't go against the Beer Purity Law, many breweries would still call it cheating.

not at all. in fact, beer above 12% is far from uncommon when you go into your strong abbey ales, and i heavily doubt the monks of trappist breweries are doing anything that anyone would call "cheating".

Oh yes, i know about the brand Wittekerke especially the Rose which is a Raspberry wheat beer from them...we normally have it on tap but we are finishing our IPA and Strong Beer Festival now. The white beer is good too and always goes so fast. We usually have the Framboise on too.

We have this one quadrupel on called Koningshoeven (Le Trappe Quadrupel Trappist) at the time...must say it is pretty nasty in my opinion.

Koningshoeven! the only non-belgian trappist brewery! i've never had that one, but if you're not big on that, chances are you don't like quads in general. still, if you can find the st bernardus 12 or the kasteelbier donker (also called the bruine/brune). they're sticky sweet beers, i think the alcohol is hidden damn well.

Here's the real reason articulated why I won't drink Sam Adams rather then give my token answer. Right now in Philly they have a really good microbrew scene going. I purchased a Philadelphia Brewing Company sampler on July 11th. The date it was bottled was on the 24th of June. In addition to it being fresh as hell I'm supporting a local small business which is a big deal to me.
Did someone say Philadelphia?  :)


/agree with ya re: microbrews. there's a great brewpub not 5 minutes walk from me and they're always trying new things. handpump beer engine, too!

We normally have St. Bernardus 12 on...right now we have quite a selection from the Dupont Brewery on...the Avec is the greatest

exactly

you fools think your "living" cuz you get drunk

tell you something, when you have peace of mind and know who you are you dont need to drink any alcohol to have bravery , courage, have a god time, ect ect..   alcohol is for social cowards.

 The beers being discussed here are high end, one-or-two-at-a-time beers.  Not that trash you drink by the case.  I think youre being short sighted here Candi

ignore him. i hate to keep hounding the kid, but he's a textbook case of addictive personality. sees no point in drinking if it's not to get fucked up, everything is either excess or abstinence. eventually he's either going to really hurt himself or wise up, and i really hope it ain't the former.

You'd think that the Aussie rep for being big beer drinkers would mean an appreciation for a well brewed beer, but in most cases there's more appreciation for quantity than quality.  Please tell me you're not a VB man Tombo.

Toohey's!  Oh no!  I rest my case.   :D

Little Creatures does some good beers if you can find it in your area.  I like their pale ale, but it might be too strongly flavoured for you.  Their other brews aren't so aggressive tho.

The only thing more obnoxious than the names of these beers are the pretentious people that drink them.

It's like when I hear a fellow american tell me they are going down to the "pub" to have a "pint". It makes me wanna punch them in the balls. lol
You are going to the bar to have a beer, jerkoff.   ::)
