Belgian BBQ

4 new beers for the weekend. BBQ with some Europeans, and they always bring good beer to the table. 1st stop, Wegmans to pick up a 4-pack of 3 Philosophers by Ommegang. $15 for the 4. Quite expensive for 4 beers you may think, but it only takes 4 of this 9.8% ABV beer to kick your ass. Next to Mad Elf, def a new favorite. A very thick beer, but doesn't have an overpowering hoppy taste.



Unfortunately, while I was enjoying the 1st two 3 Philosophers, some tardy physicist interns showed up to the party and helped themselves to the remaining 2 while I was distracted. I was quite angry at first, but if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have 3 other beers to share with you. P.S. I am still pissed!

Next beer on the docket:



This Belgian Pale Ale weighs in at 6.6% ABV. Not the best pale ale I've had, but it was very smooth. Makes for a very nice relaxing beer. My anger is residing. Obviously I'm starting to get drunk...

3 beers down, 2 to go...



Another one of my favorites. I first had Summer Bright Ale out in CO 2 years ago. Excellent beer. Can't believe I forgot about it, and SOOOO happy that Wegmans sells it. Looks like I'll be making another trip there very soon.

Last of the new beers, Whirlwind Belgian Ale by Victory.



Def not a favorite. It doesn't help that the beer was warm when I drank it. The only reason it went down as easy as it did was because I was drunk. This beer won't be getting close to my pallet again any time in the near future.

Last beer of the night:



Until next time, stay thirsty my friends...
