OT A brief history of time and beer (Political)

[afx114]

I guess that depends on your definition of “mass produced” but I’ll say this: While I consider myself an atheist, a Chimay Blue is pretty much heaven for me and is the beer I imagine Benjamin Franklin was drinking when he said this:

“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

P.S., I completely agree that liking beer has nothing to do with politics, but tell that to the original poster.

I also find it funny that every “conservative domestic” brewery is scrambling to keep up by releasing all of these “craft” and “hint of lime” and “select” and “hoppy” beers. Do they even make regular Bud/Coors anymore?

afx: In our house, Budweiser was referred to as “Buttwiper” and viewed with complete contempt.

Chimay is excellent and one of the trappistinbiers that have a long history dating back to the monks and abbots of Belgium, France and Germany. Being a Catholic, I understand the need for booze to keep you going, and those boys know their stuff.

Along the lines of monk brews, have you tried any of the other Trappist ales, such as Orval or Rochefort? The Dutch Trappists also brew the King’s Ale (Konigsenhoeven), which is great stuff.

We haven’t even gotten to the Germans or Czechs yet! If you like the sweet, heavy stuff, try Aventinus Weizen Eisbock, which is a very rich double bock.

Orval is great, and I’ve recently gotten turned onto Le Chouffe (one of those librul pansy French sounding names which probably makes this a no-no for the “America FUK YAH!” crowd). Haven’t tried Rochefort yet, I’ll check it, thanks.

Though I prefer darker beers, nothing beats a nice Pilsner or white (Hoegaarden) on a hot summer day. Can you recommend some good Germans? This past weekend we were in Vegas and hit up the Hofbrauhaus just as they were kicking off their Oktoberfest brews, and man-oh-man they were tasty, from what I can remember. 🙂

I’m sure you are also aware that San Diego is quickly building a reputation as a center for high-quality breweries. Entire companies have popped up offering tasting tours around the North County breweries, similar to the California winery tours. Stone is great, check out their restaurant/brewery/gardens if you haven’t yet. It’s in Escondido off of Nordahl. There are a couple others up in Vista and I think even in Fallbrook.
