Beer of the week #4

Hi fellow beer club members. For this fourth edition, we have 2 beers that will make your head spin!

The first one we had was the renowned "La Fin du Monde" by Unibroue. It has a golden color and has a great balance of malt, fruit and spice. I find this one remarkably smooth given its 9% alcohol content. Note to self: drink this one slowly. :)

Our second beer was a Belgium one called "Piraat". Do you remember what I said about Goldeen Draak in the previous beer of the week post? I will have to say it is a closely related cousin to the famous Draak. It also has 10.5% alcohol but it tastes a bit less sweet than its cousin. I like it a bit more since it has a nice rye-whisky after taste. Another definite must-try!

That’s it for this week! Remember: always consume in moderation! If you find that too hard to do, buy the expensive stuff! You’ll have no choice but to ration it... ;)

That's some good advice Phoenix! Always go for quality over quantity. :)

To the Macas and the Reject:

Next week our session will be on Thursday. After that we go back to the regular Wednesdays.

If you guys want to try lots of different beers, you should head out to Pub Italia in downtown Ottawa. Although you might have already heard of the place.. They have a Beer Bible =P

I used to work near Preston, Pub Italia is awesome!

A Beer Bible with over 200 choices, with most of them coming with their own special glass! :)
