Most of the beers rated this time wa beers that the friend and bottle collector
Donald Bible brought to us after touring Europe in search of good beer.
As you can see a big chunk of came for Belgium and Netherlands, and particularly teh great beer
store De Bierkoning in Amsterdam (thanks for the Special Vlo, btw!!).
We really had a lot of great beer this night, but Bieken, a superbly complex and tasteful Belgian, took the briece as the winner of the night. We also had the pleasure of trying two outstanding unusual Danish beers which are almost oppoisits in every way. One of them was the smokey low alcoholic microbrewed Refsvindinge Skibsøl which takes my price as the best low-alc ber ever, and the other was a limited edition Belgian style ale from brewing giants Carlberg, who really showed that they can brew great beer only they feel like it. Mexico isn't exactly a country that has been toppping our lists, but a few of the Mexican lagers we tried this night (brought back by Jonas Bofjäll) had a soft malt accent. We also had the pleasure of adding Cameroon to our listings as our 89th country. Beaufort was a perfectly credible, rather malty lager, which proved that countries that lies by the equator doesn't necessarily have to brew thin, tasteless beers.
But most importantly, we owe Donald Bible a big THANKS! for sharing his beer
with us! Cheers, mate!
