One last note: I was really holding out for a Belgian Abbey beat-down. Unfortunately, only a few of the attending Belgians stood out, and despite what the festival beer list said, Chimay only had their Cinq Cents (White Label) out for sampling - and in tiny bottles to boot! Since I can't very well leave Belgium out of a discussion about brews, here's one that was surprising: Brouwerij Verhaeghe Belgium Duchesse du Buogogne Ale. The bouquet belies the flavor — a nostril anomaly.
If you are a beer aficionado (or someone who just likes good beer), you need to familiarize yourself with our local breweries — they are a world of beer at your finger tips. You also NEED to keep tabs on their small batch brews. Usually, they're here today, gone tomorrow and available only at the breweries.... for example: Hoppin' Frogs B.O.R.I.S. Royale....
