Don Feinberg seems accustomed to working ahead of the curve. When he started Vanberg & DeWulf Imports in 1982, there were only five Belgian beers available on the US market. Today there are over a thousand and Don has been responsible, over the last 25-plus years, for bringing in some of the best. He took a notable detour along the way as well, founding Ommegang, producer of Belgian-style ales based in Cooperstown, NY, in 1997 before eventually selling the brewery to Duvel in 2003. Since then...Read Full Story

I've been saving this beer for a few weeks now and decided that last night was to be the right time to open this up. This beer was recommended to me by a fellow beer geek at one of the local breweries last month. Seeing how I've been on a bit of a Belgian streak lately, this beer fit the bill. I'm talking about a Belgian Dark Strong Ale from the trappist monks of Chimay in Baileux, Belgium and their Chimay (Blue) Grande Reserve. This beer has a following and therefore comes with a lot of...Read Full Story

Well as the holiday season comes to an end it is time once again to start thinking about getting our wine study group gathered together. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will have something new to tell you we learned as a group. I have tried to hold your interest these last several weeks on topics I have found interesting for myself. As time goes by I find myself yearning for a ride to Boardman to the wine & beer store I so love to stock up on some beers and wines. New Year's Eve I spent...Read Full Story

Looks like the first organized beer tasting session is gonna take place on Twitter on Saturday evening at 8PM EST. I say "organized" because some of you may have witnessed our impromptu tasting session on New Year's Day on Twitter for the Aleuminati's collaborative "Indoctrinator" Belgian-style Dubbel. We sort of stumbled into it, but it was a smashing, tweeting success by all accounts.This session - Twitter Taste LIVE! Beer - is sure to be a good one too. Both the organizer, Chris Gillis...Read Full Story

Is your brain begging for a beacon of a Belgian beer? Have you found a magic place filled with so many Belgian beers that you feel like you might get weak in the knees seeing the exuberating glory of the mighty brew? But, there is that one voice in the back of your head that is asking you which one is the best, which one do you try first? I know for me, it seems more and more I am liking the Belgian beers that have a more dynamic palate, are less yeasty and less foamy. I really appreciate...Read Full Story

I've posted a small slideshow of random Belgian beers on my content page here. There are only about 30 different beers in this particular slideshow, but I plan to post others in the near future ( I have well over 400 photos, so it takes a while to sort, resize and categorize them). If you have wondered what a particular Belgian beer's packaging looked like, perhaps you'll see it here! If not, suggest it for a future slideshow. I hope you enjoy!Read Full Story

The Belgian amber ales have always been a favorite variety of beer not just in Belgium but also for the rest of the world. In fact it has even undergone different styles to incorporate a localized style of amber ale, like an American one. But what really does this Belgian amber ale has that makes it so special? Belgian amber ales trace its roots back from some thousands of years ago, when brewing was still cottage manufactured in pots. After some time, these pots were later replaced with...Read Full Story

By Patrick AnthonyToday in Belgium there are 125 breweries which are now producing around 500 different types of Belgian Beer. The actual making of beer in this European country dates back to the Middle Ages when it was first being produced in monasteries and today remains the country with the most varieties of beer that one can drink. Compared to other European countries the alcohol content in some of the Belgian beers you can drink today is very high in some cases it is as much as 6 to 8...Read Full Story
