be worthy but they re each unique releases are those enough disclaimers oh right the most important one of all this is all highly subjective and should be taken simply as one nerd s opinion i

beer i saved the best beer of the trip for the last post the thing is i can t tell you about it see i made a deal with the person who offered me the beer i would only get to drink it on two strict conditions 1 that i not publish online what it was or where i drank it 2 that i name my price no questions asked i couldn t have agreed to the deal any faster the beer sounded top notch and it more than lived up to my stratospheric expectations i can safely say that it s one of the top 5 beers i ve ever had and i was really sad to see the bottom of the glass trust me i m dying to write all about it i even took full tasting notes but i have to hold up my end of the bargain so this is the last i ll say about it online i ll be more than happy to share details about it offline though on that note it s time to wrap up this multi part trip recap thanks for reading big thanks again to everyone who shared tips and advice before and during the trip especially all the nerds on beeradvocate and an extra special thanks to mrs beernerds for letting me indulge my love of beer throughout the trip she s obviously a keeper one last thing i ve got the notes and the google maps i put together to guide my beer hunting in bruges brussels amsterdam and paris if you re headed that way let me know and i ll be happy to share them with you leave a comment on this post or e mail me beernerds at gmail dot com honeymoon beers part 9 normandy paris au trappiste frog princess published may 11 2011 beer travel leave a comment tags europe frog princess honeymoon la trappe normandy paris pelforth st feuillien with five days in paris giving us plenty of time we took a day trip to normandy for what turned out to be a great tour of the d day landing areas we had lunch at the café in the reine mathilde hotel in bayeux the town nearest omaha beach and the meeting place for our tour the restaurant didn t have much to offer beer wise aside from two offerings from pelforth a brune and a spring seasonal i had never heard of the brewery but i figured it was worth a shot and ordered the brune it was pretty decent sweeter and less complex than the best of the style it seemed like more of an english brown than a belgian brune but still a good beer pelforth brune back in paris the following day we had a post louvre lunch at a restaurant bar nearby au trappiste as its name implies the place is belgian beer friendly i started with la trappe quadrupel another classic quad i was happy to be able to drink one even a fresh one after the disappointment in amsterdam la trappe quadrupel i didn t plan on a second beer but near the end of the meal i noticed a chalkboard advertising their beer of the month st feuillien biere de paques the second easter beer i had on the trip i ve enjoyed the couple of st feuillien beers i ve tasted so i didn t hesitate to try their seasonal it was quite good bigger darker bolder and boozier than i expected for a spring beer with lighter refreshing brews such as st arnold spring bock in mind but i enjoyed it st feuillien biere de paques our last night in paris and in europe we went back to one of my old haunts the frog princess a lively brewpub in the 6th even though i wasn t into craft beer yet i hung out here a lot when i lived in paris in 2002 i loved one of their dark beers back when my favorite beers were bass and guinness and it was a great spot to watch us sports on satellite tv including nfl and mlb when we walked in this time it looked completely empty so much so that we weren t sure they were open once we got inside we noticed two people drinking at the bar and two bartenders there were 6 taps and one hand pulled engine and i asked the bartender about the latter in french we quickly figured out he was from the us philly to be exact so i asked him about the rest of the lineup in english he gave me a sample of a couple of beers before deciding to save us the trouble and giving me a full sampler and not charging for it the 6 beers were fnb frog natural blonde maison blanche ginger twist parislytic inseine dark de triomphe frog princess sampler none of them were anything special but they were all decent for their styles parislytic seemed like an english brown with some nice malty sweetness up front and some disappointing metallic bitterness in the back inseine on the cask engine was a solid esb and dark de triomphe a good porter with plenty of dark roasted malt and a decent body after finishing the sampler i ended up drinking a pint each of the cask esb and the porter the bartender who admitted that he didn t know much about beer said the cask esb seemed to be a favorite with the brewers who brew on site 3 4 times a week and with beer connoisseurs he said their blonde and blanche were their top sellers unsurprisingly while the ginger twist was becoming something of a flagship brew i didn t taste much ginger but it did have an interesting herbal spicy bite all six beers had a low abv with the parislytic clocking in at 5 2 dark at 5 0 and the rest between 4 5 none qualified as true session beers none were below 4 but it was still a nice change of pace after a trip full of much bigger and bolder beers honeymoon beers part 8 paris taverne de cluny sous bock published may 9 2011 beer travel leave a comment tags europe honeymoon orval paris st bernardus the last leg of our honeymoon was in paris probably my favorite city in the world it was also the least beery city of our trip which meant that our options on that front were limited still we managed to track down a couple of interesting parisian style bistros cafes that featured decent beer the first was la taverne de cluny a few blocks from our apartment in the bustling 5th arrondissement the beer selection was limited but solid with a handful of belgian classics leading the way i started with a bottle of a french beer i d never heard of well it s probably fair to say that i haven t heard of most french beers and that there aren t all that many but i was intrigued by the bottle of anosteke from the brasserie du pays flamand which was advertised as a hoppy seasonal ale i assumed that this meant hoppy in the european sense which proved to be the case as it was a bright saison ish pale ale with a small but nice hoppy bite anosteke 1 anosteke 2 there weren t any more interesting french beers on offer so i stuck with the refreshing theme and opted for a bottle of orval the classic trappist wild ale i ve had both good and bad orval with the bad being so wild funky that i find it nearly undrinkable but this was a very good one bright and thirst quenching certainly bretty but not too much so with just enough of a hoppy bite orval that reminds me that i noticed a couple of different places on this trip had two different listings of orval on their menu standard orval and orval that was at least 6 months old i was tempted by the latter to see what kind of tricks the yeast plays when it s had some time to age but i never got around to ordering it i ll put it near the top of my list for the next trip the next day we took a break from our sightseeing to get a couple of drinks at le sous bock another beer friendly restaurant bar this one in the 1st district east of the louvre their beer menu was long but relatively uninspiring with plenty of basic european macro lagers and even budweiser the us one and corona the one interesting thing on the french page was oldarki biere au patxaran a beer from the french basque country brewed with patxaran the traditional basque plum liqueur i ve had patxaran many times my family s spanish roots include some basque strains and it s quite tasty sadly this beer wasn t it tasted like any number of beers out there that have some sort of artificial additive mixed in with a mediocre base beer it wasn t undrinkable just uninteresting and relatively unappealing seemed like a waste of a decent idea then again there are plenty of great beers that feature really nice plum flavors without having to resort to any post brewing additions oldarki 1 oldarki 2 after that letdown i opted to go back to a reliable favorite st bernardus abt 12 a classic quad and one of my favorites it quickly and emphatically washed away the previous beer st bernardus abt 12 honeymoon beers part 7 amsterdam de beiaard t arendsnest de molen published may 2 2011 beer travel leave a comment tags amsterdam de molen europe hertog jan honeymoon leffe after a very long day of touristing around amsterdam i was happy to find that the restaurant we hit for dinner humphrey s had a beer i had never drank leffe bruin on draft for a decidedly un beery restaurant it was a nice surprise a tasty belgian brown that went down very easily with a big hearty meal leffe bruin the following day we took a break from more serious touristing for a quick lunch and beer at de beiaard in the spui square de beiaard is a chain of restaurant bars with this location perfectly situated between a busy square and one of the canals making it a great people watching spot as tourists and locals streamed by on foot bicycle scooter tram car and boat their beer selection was decent and one thing caught my eye hertog jan grand prestige a quad i m a sucker for quads even ones i ve never heard of or tried it s not necessarily the ideal style for a lunch beer but i enjoyed it we were also glad that we were practically on our way out when we noticed a small mouse dashing under a table across the room that was our cue to leave hertog jan grand prestige 1 hertog jan grand prestige 2 that night our final one in amsterdam we walked the half dozen blocks from our hotel to t arendsnest a very well regarded bar that prides itself on serving only dutch beer and a wide range of it i came prepared with ratebeer com s list of top 50 dutch beers and was both thrilled and disappointed to see that the bar had many of them thrilled of course because i would be able to drink a couple of them but also disappointed because i knew i couldn t spend another week or two hanging out there and tasting a bunch more despite the wide range of options i ended up with two beers from de molen a brewery which practically owns the top of that list of great dutch beers and which seems to have fully embraced the idea of big ...
