I've been enjoying a few popular Belgian ales over the holidays in particular Chimay Blue (and Red) and Pawel Kwak. They go down easy but pack a punch.
Any fans out there? Any recommendations?
Don't know where you live, but if you want to sample, Waterzooi on Long island has over 130 Belgian beers on menu. Lots of good ones. Begin beers have a lot of complexity and flavor. Very different than ales from other countries.

Well, today's the day....going to Radegast in Brooklyn to celebrate number 35. For you local beer snobs out there, and the German and Belgian beer fans, I'll give my thoughts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, not only for the beer, but they have an excellent sounding Saturday brunch with a (YES!!) cucumber bloody mary. Can't wait to try that.

We're all assuming you're still too hungover to give us a report.
Please post the "beer website". Cheers.

hahah....no....i've just been away from the computer for the last couple of days. I saw this post on my cell phone to be honest.
In short....the place is fantastic. Very family friendly. We brought my daughter, who's now 11 months, and I swear to God, she wasn't the youngest one there. Lots of kids. My brunch...Brisket hash and eggs, WOW! Cucumber bloody mary...so good, the in-laws got me a bottle of organic cucumber vodka for the birthday, and the beer....God Damn! 2 Weihenstephaner Vitus', a Kostrizer black lager in a 32 oz. mug, Aecht Schrlenker Rauch (that's smoked lager for you Westerners), we drank everything under the sun. Gotta dude smoking all sorts of tubed meats in the back of the place.....just perfect. Can't wait to go back. They had the "Pis Boy" on tap, which is a great Belgian white on tap.
Funny enough, I'm off day....drinking Delerium Tremens mixed with Framboise as I write this. All Belgian tonight. hahah....for the record....I was feeling very crappy yesterday morning, the Johnnies game blew. Loved seeing Moe kill it while he was playing, thought. Came home around 5 pm. on Saturday and watched the tape delay of the Spurs/Wolves game on FSC, and somehow put 8 Sierra Nevadas down after hanging in the BK. Yeah...not happy about that result, and then sleeping by halftime of the Den/NE game.
I've been writing a beer column (only 2 entries so far) for a web-site if anyone's interested. I don't want to come off like I'm promoting another site, but if it's cool and anyone's interested I'll put the links up.....One's a craft article and the other's a German article.

Good place. Got drunk there watching USA/Ghana last summer while my wife was having her bridal shower next door at Novita (another good spot).

Same owners. Zooi is good but I like Novita better since the bar is bigger.
I literally work right across the street from there
2 blocks south right ? Will have to meet up there after work one nightDon't know where you live, but if you want to sample, Waterzooi on Long island has over 130 Belgian beers on menu. Lots of good ones. Begin beers have a lot of complexity and flavor. Very different than ales from other countries.
