You know me - I'd love to ; ) But I'm under a bit of a time crunch...
In a nutshell: it's a Belgian Triple brewed with barley, wheat, and oats. The wheat makes it fruity, the oats make it soft and smooth. It's like a fruity, spicy shandy.

You post the beer menu, ask our opinion on what you should try, then settle for Boddington's??!!! If I were there right now, I'd find a pirate and make him smack you with a large spiral ham. Raaarrg!

I was not in the vicinity of that beer menu - I tried, but was voted down by three very large and hungry men. So we settled on the local Irish pub, I lined them up against the wall and made them listen to me yammer on for 2 hours.Settle for Boddingtons? I keep tellin' ya - it's not in a can. Below was my choice at that time. Tremont could have been my other choice. Guinness Stout
Bass Ale
Harp Lager
Smithwicks
Harpoon IPA
Harpoon UFO
Stella Atois
Boddington's
Tremont Ale
Newcastle Brown Ale
Magners Irish Cider
Amstel Light
Samuel Adams Lager
Samuel Adams Seasonal
Belhaven Scottish Ale
Sierra Nevada

Listen - I know you think you probably know these guys, but can you be absolutely certain they're not secretly pirates? quote:

Yeah, that's not an awe-inspiring list. I'm not familiar with Tremont, so I probably would've picked Harpoon IPA. Boddington's was not a bad choice, all things considered...

I know they aren't pirates - not one of them can cook a ham.Tremont is a good brew - one of the non-pirates was enjoying the IPA very much.

The surfer takes his girlfriend by the hand and leads her to the kitchen. "If you don't mind, Mike, we're going to enjoy a little piracy of our own." A thud resounds across the oak as Mike drops his head to the bar. "I think he meant to say 'privacy'?" the guest wonders. "No," Mike mumbles into his book, his shaggy red beard, ruffling the pages as he shakes his head back and forth, "Piracy. Privacy. It's both the same to them." A commotion of giggles and snickers can be heard from behind the swinging door. "I can't help but to apologize" Mike has regained his composure and is again sitting in a more or less vertical plane. "You see, I'm English." "I thought it was Canadians who apologized all the time." "I'm sorry. You may be right. The closest I've been to Canada is Maine." "I love Maine," replies the girl as she joins Mike at the bar. "May I ask what you're reading?"

"That's okay" LT tells him - as she pats him on the shoulder "why don't you pour us a Triple Karmeliet and we can get back to "A Void".

Gotta love the English ...They stomp all over the world, imposing their colonial will on all, by force if necessary, putting millions upon millions of human beings under their Imperial thumb, for Queen and country; yet can't find the testicular fortitude to walk across the bar.

I thought it was vorschdadt... Drinking a SA Bigfoot Barleywine as we speak/write. I have to go catch a bus in a few minutes, so I'm drinking it kinda quick - from the bottle. Not the best way to enjoy barleywine, but it's Friday and anything goes. That was a fun week. Have a great weekend.....................

Featured story: Bobby McMullen – With the help of his guide Mark Shaw, the blind Redding, CA resident conquered Maui's rugged, off-road course. To celebrate: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. How could I tell??? The distinctive green and yellow label, with the light blue "neck label"
