Escoffier Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 This is from TasteDC. I'm not a beer drinker so I'm not sure how this would rate but it looks interesting. Cost is $70 per person and will be on November 16th. If you Love Beer with flavor, we have the event for you: TasteDC's 1st Annual Belgian Beer Festival! Two of DC's largest Belgian beer importers - B. United International B. United Website and Wetten Importers are showcasing some of the world's greatest Belgian and Belgian-style beers - and you can taste over 60 of them! You will be tasting beer styles such as Lambic, Triple Ale, Saison-style, Brown Ale, Strong Ales, Witbier, Abbey Beers, and more! Lambic beer is the most famous style of Belgian beer and is developed from an ancient style of brewing, created from spontaneous fermentation to produce a bone-dry, profoundly tart, and naturally effervescent drink that improves with years in the bottle - much like wine. All Beers tasted will be available for order/purchase at special prices!

edenman Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 All Beers tasted will be available for order/purchase at special prices!1) Brasserie De Glazen Toren 2) Brasserie La Rulles 3) De Dolle Brouwers - Oerbier Special Reserva (Matured in Bordeaux Casks) 4) Brasserie Des Franches-Montagnes 1) This is on my birthday. 2) This is the day before the friday oyster riot session. 3) I have never had any of the beers from #1, #2, or #4, and that's not a statement I'm used to making about belgian breweries. 4) The Oerbier Special Reserva is one of the best beers I've ever had, hands down, and is reason enough to go to this tasting. And I was doing reasonably well on rationing money. There goes $70 + as much oerbier reserva as I can carry. Anybody else thinking about going?
