[FairfieldLife] Beer Necessities

2011-07-01 Thread turquoiseb
Happy happy joy joy. I'm back home in the Netherlands, and 
have found that one of the cafes that I often sit in while 
writing has Westmalle, the Trappist beer I discovered in 
Brussels. My heart soars like an eagle. 

They also have a beer from the Himalayas called Yak Piss. 
Something about Purusha Bottling Company on the label, 
which is some kind of pastels-gone-wild painting, with 
lots of gold embossing. But given the description of that 
brew I cognized yesterday on the train, and the chilly 
reception it received here, I think I might avoid that 
one.  :-)

Not much into alcohol mainly stimulants like espresso.  But if I want to 
stock up on a six or twelve pack for guests I usually get Gordon Biersch 
Martzen.  And a micro brewery is moving into the recently closed family 
Italian restaurant downtown so may have to give it a whirl when it 
opens.  One evening with a friend I went to a local micro brewery and we 
decided to order the sampler.  I was used to these being about 6 small 
glasses.  They brought 18. ;-)
