Belgian Beer (not waffles)

What the hell makes it a Belgian Waffle anyway? I never did get that. At the State Fair of Texas, they sell these things for like, a small business loan (they sound cheap because they do the "ticket system" - you know, this waffle thing is like 12 tickets. Oh, thats not bad, right? Well, each ticket is fifty cents... You do the math) but all they really consist of are giant Eggos w/ sugar and fruit. Sure, they are good - but are they good enough for that price?

Anyway, thats not the point of this blog - I was talking about Belgian Beer yesterday and realized that I didnt even have one thing about this passion of mine up on the Internet. So, I decided Id blog about it and build a webpage for it. Heres the webpage:

Belgian Beer is nothing to Waffle about!
A personal reflection on Belgian Beers by Tait

The page is very much a work in progress - I get to go retaste all those beers and rank them, now! Woot! I highly recommend that you try a Belgian. I spend most of my webpage discussing Tripels as those are my favorite of the styles of Belgians. But, pick your own flavor and give it a whirl. If you like more ale-type beers (think English), try any of the Dubbels - I personally recommend the "gateway drug" called Maredsous 8 that can be found at Whole Foods in 375 of 750 ml bottles. If you prefer a lighter, crisper taste (think German Heifes, but less hoppy), try a Tripel. If you like pilsners or the other types of lighter German beers, try a Blonde (Affligem Blonde can be found at some stores). Or, if you like a mix of an ale w/ some crispness and malt taste, go Quad (Koenig!).

All I ask, is that you overcome whatever objections you have and JUST TRY ONE! Just one - its not a major commitment, youre not even dating. Just friends meeting at a Starbucks. Sheesh.
