Belgian Brews

9 November 2008

Wow, what a nice treat! WBAS got to sample 10 Belgian Ales on November 9. Chris and his wife Toni offered their home for what turned out to be a very nice tasting, bringing in a great crowd, and exposing WBAS to a number of different Belgian Beer styles. Fourteen members and friends attended to enjoy the beer. Thank you to all who made it happen.

Disclaimer: Based on average scores it is clear that some of the tasters liked Belgian beers better than others. As in most of the WBAS tastings, scores tend to be based more on personal preference rather than whether a beer is true to style
