Excuse me, but I'll be outside with my "Armageddon" sign.

It's brewed in England. Felt like I needed to say that.

Teh only proper fruit beer!

Saintaw - I love those fruit beers! But I expect you get homesick, living in Lux. I'll send you some Kronenbourg to make you feel at home.

Saintaw · « **Reply #18 on:** May 24, 2005, 07:05:07 AM »

I think Kronembourg is french, isn't it? (*gag*/*SLAP*)

Plenty of beers around here Beet, the local ones are not my taste (Bofferding, Dikiersh, Super Bock)... but anywhere you are in Luxemboug, you're always 20 minutes away from Belgium, Germany or France. (Doing a city tour will take you aproximately 20 minutes as well).

I'm not a white-wine drinker, but I did have the opportunity to taste the local "ice-wine" (I think they pick the grapes when the soil is frozen) ... wow!

When are you comming back on the continent? Will gladly share a few with you

I was waiting to hear from Schaden. A few of us were going to head to Antwerp on the Eurostar.

DiabloTX - if you liked the Young's double chocolate stout, also look out for a beer called Fuller's London Porter. It's also a stout, but not as rich as the Young's. I prefer the Fuller's.

I'm planning a trip to Amsterdam with the Swoop... but I guess that doesn't sound as catchy to you

Let me know if you're going to Antwerp, haven't been there in a while... best wimin fishin' spot in the country

Do a little research before you blame this on those of us on this side of the pond Sawito. This one is made by the limeys. And its a very good stout.

By the way, Heiliger and DiabloTX....you can get it at the Flying Saucer on tap. Mmmmmmm....

Sling san, sorry for "jumping the gun" but I had only one "Starbucks" experience in my life... and took it for granted that it was yours again.

My sincere apologies... I guess I will have to post bruise shots to make up for that one...

Is it really flavored with chocolate? Or is it just made from chocolate malts?

Will do, thanks for the heads up.

Sling, the Saucer is a bit far from my hacienda. But if they have it on tap it will be worth it!!

Yeah...its a bit of a haul for me too. What side of town you live on anyway? I am out on the NW side....290 and West/Eldridge. I like to run up to BJs at Willowbrook and drink their stout. As a member of one of the local homebrew clubs, I get happy hour prices all the time there on BJs brewed beers when I show my membership card. Pretty sweet deal. Plus as a member of the AHA (American Homebrewers Assoc) I get 10% off all food and merchandise when I show that card.

Never cared much for Samuel Smith's stuff. Every time I buy it anywhere local it is skunked. They should export it in brown bottles rather than clear glass.

You can also get Samuel Smith's at Centennial in Dallas. As much as I hate the greedy, snotty, stuck up corporate bastages... they have a great selection of brews and wines.

Clear Lake area, a couple miles from Johnson Space Center.

Well then you have a BJs out close to you also. On Bay Area Blvd next to Jasons Deli just east of 45 a couple of stop lights.
