While I do like beer (my brother, who lives in Belgium often brings me very, very nice ones. I'm still waiting for a case of Westvleteren, though ), I drink it less than other alcoholic beverages. In Delfshaven we have the City Brewery 'The Pilgrim'. (Delfshaven, Pilgrim, ring a bell?) and they make beer on a small scale which they sell in their own cafe.The Amber is very nice.
I usually drink Dommelsch or Hertog Jan. Ice and ice cold (yes, this suppresses the flavour) and they make an excellent companion while you are slappin' pieces of dead cow on the grill

I'm sure, like me, you are grossly exaggerating! I'm 1.80 meters and 96 Kg. But like many men, it all seems to concentrate around the waist.

This metric stuff is confusing. Especially after a few beers.
What I like is how popular this thread is! Almost like a gun thread!

Anyone interested in the original topic would enjoy a book I read a few months ago: A History of the World in Six Glasses.
Tells the story of how cultivation of grain in and around Mesopotamia prompted formation of early civilizations, and the discovery of beer and bread (apparently by accident, as the earliest brewmeisters would dissolve the grain into a paste...too thin and out in the sun = beer; too thick and out in the sun = bread). Also talks about how the quest for tea and coffee led to exploration, shipping routes, and ultimately discovery, imperialism, and mapping of the sea; also has an interesting discussion of the political influence of coffee houses and tea houses during the enlightenment age. You know, not as interesting as Maxim, but a good read.
