ok, I have never had it. Next time I'd have the chance I'd check it out.

There is basically a bunch of Belgium-style beers... that is actually more of a style of brewing. Very high percentage, multiple-distilled, very crisp,and slightly carbonated.
But - my first beers were pilsner-type beers, andI will always remember that taste.

oh, if you havent started the beer brewing yet. make sure you have lots and lots of ice to cool the beer quickly before putting the yeast in. i was caught unprepared and it took like an hour. i was very lucky that it didnt go bad.

you have any names of those belgian beers with 8-9%?

Trappiste @ 9.5% (dark&white options)
One of hte beers I liked had a monk on it... I think it might have been called Monk's beer.

But on the other hand, half of the beers are called 'Monk's special"

yes, Duvel is a name I should have started with. There are others too, but you had it?

it is somewhat expensive though. Try it, but watch the bill, of course

Hey, be careful with some assertions - if beer becomes an important commodity, then USA might invade Germany, haha.

But the invasion would happen annually during the festival known as 'Oktoberfest'

I think time is all it takes. It is like brewing a beer - you have to let it sit for a while, until it ages just right. The yeast was put just recently. You have to give it some time.

then the conditions have to be right. Ok, as I mentioned somewhere else - during bad economic times, beer sells better in the states. This means, that people will turn to beer more and more.

Anotehr important condition is to allow people to enjoy beer more throughly. That is: no more driving back, let's live next to pubs.

If you elect my party, we will fight for these rights! We will fight for you and for your opportunity to enojy your beer every day!

its really stupid because kids turn 18 in highschool and then they go to college and live by themselves and alcohol is readily available even though they're underage and they binge drink and theres all these accidents; if people were still living with their parents when they were the legal age, the parents would be able to pass down their drinking wisdom and supervise their kid's drinking habits early on.  its not like making the legal age 21 keeps any college students under 21 from drinking. hell, when i was underage, i could/did drink in public outside right infront of a cop and they couldnt do shit because they couldnt search my plastic cup to see what liquid was inside without probable cause.

back when there was like 8 democratic presidential candidates, there was a debate, and one of the questions asked was would they be willing to lower the drinking age, and only 1 person said yes, and i thought, now theres someone i could vote for. but unfortunately he wasnt nominated

"that reminds me... i need to save up to go to Oktoberfest next year.... and learn some german"

only word word needed there.... and thats "PROST"

"only word word needed there.... and thats "PROST""

bah, i already know that. im not completely ignorant.

"That's funny. I live in a city predominately of German ancestory"

you do realize that just about every City is Predominately German in the US? its the most common nationality in the US by far.
