I started with a nice Rogue Mocha Porter draft, because it was cold out and I wanted to warm up my tummy a bit. The Rogue Mocha Porter would be fantastic on a cold winter day. It was like 50 some degrees in FL and that is about as winter as we get. Rogue beer started out in Oregon and I REALLY REALLY want to visit the brewery sometime.
Next, I saw they had Kwak beer brewed in Buggenhout, Belgium. It is named after an 18th century innkeeper and brewer, Pauwel Kwak. Normally a Kwak beer comes in its own distinctive glass that resembles a "yard of ale" which is held upright in a wooden stand. The world of beer did disappoint me a bit because my beer didn't come in this glass. :( When I was in brussels it did come in this cool glass wooden stand thing. But it was very good and had 8% some alcohol. (Can't complain really.)
All of this did remind me of my day in Brussels drinking lots of great beer, eating waffles, buying expensive chocolate. This was after a day spent at the UN. So some educational things did get accomplished as well. Here are some pictures from that lovely day.
Everyone please go out and try a great beer sometime this week. It'll boost your spirits for sure.
