New from Belgium

Hope all is well. Things are quite busy in the Beer Dept. with the 4th coming tomorrow. Just wanted to let you guys know aobut a new beer that arrived today. We received the Pauwel Kwak in 75oml's. I have heard good things about this amber ale and it has a nice rating on the beer websites. The only problem is that we didn't get any Kwak glasses and I hear one of the big things about this beer is that they serve it in a test tube glass that Coachmen used to hang from their Mail Coaches while they were at the "De Hoorn Inn" in Dendermonde around Napoleon's time. The brewer and innkeeper's name was Pauwel Kwak and the beer still bears his name.

I'm a history guy so don't be surprised when you see these kinds of stories on here in the future. I just think they are fun.

Oh, I will be posting about this Saturday's beer tasting a little later in the week and I should have a more extended summer schedule soon.

Hope everyone has a good Fourth of July and I'm sure, some Happy Drinking
