http:\/\/www.inbev.com\/<\/a><\/p>\nStella is one of my favorite light beers. It’s very different than the local microbrews, but I always enjoy a draft Stella in a traditional Stella glass.<\/p>\n
I had never had Leffe Blond before sampling this multi-pack. It was a light beer and was ok.<\/p>\n
I have tried Hoegaarden in the past. I wasn’t a fan, but I enjoyed it this time. Hoegaarden (Hoegaarden Blanche) is also referred to as a Belgium White or a wheat beer. It’s a yellow fizzy beer with a taste of lemon. It’s refreshing on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n
After having a discussion with a colleague, living in Belgium, we decided that this multi-pack should be renamed. Here are a few options:<\/p>\n
* Beer that the Dutch was not planning on drinking.<\/strong>
\n* Best of Belgium beer that you could buy in a discounted multi-pack<\/strong>
\n* Best of Belgium beer that was not created by Monks.<\/strong>
\n* Best of what Belgium has to offer in the US in an 18 pack of summer delight<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter slight confusion, Ignace was quick to understand the contents of the multi-pack. He commended: “Yeah, I know which way the wind blows now….. You’re having big industry beer in your best-of-Belgium, buddy. …. I would weep deep, shocking, heartrending, soul-destroying, earth shattering tears if that was anywhere near the best of what Belgium has to offer.”<\/p>\n
I had a chance to learn this first hand, until my travel plans fell through. Ignace planned on taking me to a mecca for beer lovers. None of the mentioned beers would have been served in this place. There are hopes and dreams of eventually visiting this heavenly place. Until then, I can only place these dreams on hold and imaging ignace’s offer..<\/p>\n
“I’ll take you to beer heaven, and you will get to make a selection of that which is truly good beer.”<\/p>\n
Notes: These beers are not widely offered in Belgium. They were owned separately and bought out by Inbev brewery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
