Belgium: Scaldis Blond Triple, Brasserie Dubuisson
Posted by on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 in - 2 comments
Enough of the art: "...more Bergman than Fellini."!?! What a thing to say. I can't believe it. What a comment. I simply can't believe it. I am simply gutted. Only one thing to do. Have a beer. • I got this one a couple of months ago at Finger Lake Beverages as part of The Attack of the Gueuze … read more »
Beau's Thursday Night Tasting In the Backyard
Posted by on Thursday, August 12, 2010 in - 5 comments
A fun way to spend the evening. Beau's had their quarterly business meetings in town and they all came over for a few hours of opening bottles - including the father, son and a sizable host. We nine started well with two saisons and biere de garde: Hennepin, Jack D'or and 3 Monts. Batch 10 from …
Illinois: Oh Brother!, Tripel, Two Brothers, Warrenville
Posted by on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in - 2 comments
This is a really interesting tripel. Not a just a candi sugar bomb, there's a lot of earthiness in there. Not funk. Earth. • It's made by the same folk at Two Brothers Brewing who made that Domaine DuPage I had last fall. It doesn't show on their website but, then again, this page was last …
France: Vivat Triple, L’Abbaye Du Cateau, C-Cambrésis

A French triple. Bought on the zip into Quebec a few months ago, this one has me rubbing my left temple with a serious knuckle. • Nice website. Is it really a triple or is it a saison? It lacks the earthy thang that its fellow country brew biere de garde is known for. It has no triple bubblegum …
Session 24: Serafijn Tripel, M'brouwerij Achilles, Belgium

Session night! There has been some twitting twits which is good to see but it is still early. We may still have that onslaught. • "Onslaught" is a word that comes to mind when I think of tripels. I was first introduced to very strong beer when I had a pint or more of some version of tripel when … read more »
Session 24 Is Tomorrow, You Twit
Posted by on Thursday, February 5, 2009 in - 2 comments
Or rather "Session 24 is tomorrow. You - twit!" And, yes, there is one small the additional experiment this time, adding global Twitter side chatter as well. Response has been luke warm so I expect a flop but let's have a go - if not for me, then for the children. Do it for the children. • David …
Holland: Tripel, Koningshoeven, Berkel-Enschot

I can't believe I have not written about Koningshoeven aka La Trappe. Like the great soda v. pop conundrum, this sixth monastic brewery has divided the planet according to how people describe it. Bah! What's that, you say? BAH, I say. Was not "La Trappe" created for those who could not pronounce …
Triples: Kerberos, Flying Dog, Frederick, Maryland, USA
Posted by on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 in - 1 comment
Stan brought me this one, triggered I think by this conversation instigated by Travis, developing into a bit of a pile-on but joined in by Josh of Flying Dog before it got channeled into a consideration of the concept of styles. All that and here was I never having tried one. • On the pour, this …
Travis Tries A Kerberos Tripel By Flying Dog

A few weeks ago I was the lucky recipient of a wonderful package; a bottle of brew! Not just any brew, but a Belgian beer! I love the Belgian brews. Flying Dog beer mailed me bottle of their Kerberos Tripel. • The fourth member of their Canis Major series, the Flying Dog Kerberos¹ Tripel is a …
Holland: Zatte, Brouwerij 't IJ, Amsterdam

A beer with an ostrich on the front for leap day. I had the brewer's sibling brew Struis from Amsterdam's Ij last September but for $6.20 for 330 ml was not impressed by the price but enjoyed the experience. Let's see what $4.99 gets you. • The brewer's website is of little help but the wide …
