me!
She took me to belgium beer cafe for valentines day.
She got one of the Belle-vue rasberry frambois beer things, I had a taste and it was pretty good.
I had the stella to start, tasted a bit different from tap as opposed to bottle for me.
I also tried the kwak (its funny when a waiter walks up to you and says kwak? sounded like a duck) which came in a very odd glass held by a wooden stand and lastly a hoegaarden wheat beer. Was a lot to choose from I just let the gf pick seeing it was her present to me (=
Anyone have any favourites to reccomend?

What a woman. Now you just need to get her brewing beer for you
The Leffe (Blonde and Brun) are excellent, as is Hoegaarden. In fact, do they serve a bad Belgian Beer at BBC? (Of course, the fact that they also serve VB downgrades them slightly in my estimation.)
The Stella on tap at BBC, and everywhere else in Australia, is brewed in Melbourne by the evil empire (CUB). Only the bottled stuff is imported. That may be part of the reason for the difference in taste.
Cheers,
Oliver

Quick question.
Is Hoegaarden a Belguim equivalent of vb, tooheys etc (ie cheap normal beer) or is it considered better than this. (By Belguim standards, not ours remember).

I don't have a girlfriend, (that I own up to!) But I have a missus of nearly 30 years, who washes bottles and fills them with brew when I am out bush! She is a non drinker and has been for some twelve years or more, what more could you ask for?

My wife and my mother in law would have to be right up there. The former helps me bottle and what's more loves footy talk-back on the radio. The latter sent me an sms message last week suggesting that I should make the trip up to Mildura for the Blues and Beer Festival. And a couple of years ago my father in law got me an esky full of interesting imported beers. This is the same bloke who engineered the wort cooler for the Millenium Ale Project!
My wife's from good stock.
