Won't ever be a favorite, but better than what's usually available on airplanes in the States.

Leffe Brune. It's what you get when they've run out of Leffe Blonde.

I ran out of beer , so im drinking what's in the fridge that i dont really want ..,

I really don't like any westmalle beers , they are too sweet , gassy and sickly . To me they are anti beer .

How I feel about most of the bigger Belgian brewerys output. It's so hot right now I do wish I had a correctly chilled Tripel Karmeliet right now, very nice hot weather beer.

There are days when even a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale will taste like the nectar of gods.

I do love open fermentation beers , open to the atmosphere and all that drops in .

Thats what I loved about exploring Belgium beers , and what both inspired me to want to brew beer and also informed me not to bother.. , takes generations , its a absolute ' see you next Tuesday ' to get right .

I call myself out here , the beer thread is for the love of beer , real simple, not for slagging beers off ..., thats very , ' not beer ' .

So I apologise.

Lambic and gueuze stuff? I'm not madly keen, but it's fascinating how it tastes so similar to proper cider, those wild yeasts are really distinctive. I do like cider, in moderation, which is technically impossible to do.

Yeah lambic and some Norwegian beers , im remembering kveik style ,..or thats what iv had at the time , Open fermentation .

When everyone and their grandma were starting breweries , I always found open fermentation a appealing point of skill , locality and difference to all the shit that had been done and done a million times .

Alas .,

Westmalle dubbel is an excellent example of the style. Their triple is quite mediocre. That blue label you posted could be proverbial bottom of the barrel.

Steam Beer was traditionally an open fermentation, too. I don't know if that practice is still followed. Of course, Anchor Brewing in CA is still closed and there are precious few others who have endeavored to replicate Ye Olde California Common (which if I remember correctly has its roots in Bavaria).

Think I might have confused myself, are you referring to the normal way top fermentation is done, most e.g. most British ales, or wild fermentation, where no yeast is added just wherever blows in?

Couple of pints of this yesterday lunchtime, after walking past the Long Man as part of excessively long walk. New brewery to me, this was really nice.
