What beer are you drinking - Autumn '12

[smokinjoe]

What I heard locally in Brussels was "vest FLAY teren" with a long A sound. I had always pronounced it as "vest VLEH teren" but that wasn't how the locals said it.

Ah. I see. I, uh, forgot about that Euro W pronounced like a V thing, too... Thanks, Bruce.

Mostly a Dutch thing in this case which of course is similar to German and that whole W/V thing!

Drinking a Sierra Nevada Celebration, first one of the year. Never a letdown.

The Nogne O Winter Ale has my mouth watering.

Westvleteren 12 last night. Lived up to the hype. I will do a tasting and compare it to the St.Bernardus ABT 12 and the Rochefort 10. I have some Xmas beers from various places that are calling my name as well. It's going to be a beer filled couple of weeks.

I shared the first bottle from my pack on Friday as well and also thought it lived up to the hype. I liked it more than the Rochefort 10, which I also like very much. More of a dry flavor and a little more alcoholic bite on the end to the Westvleteren.

I would really love to try the blonde and the brune one day.

Last night was a growler of New Albanian's Dunwich Porter that I picked up on my weekend trip to Louisville. Tasty glass o' brew.

Working through some pumpkin ales I still have lying about. A couple of Dogfish Head Punkin Ales to start and then finished the evening with a change of pace with a Dragon's Milk stout.

May go hunting for some Wheat Wine Ale today as it sounds like an interesting winter option.
