Thanks, JB! You sure are a Lucky Jack to have that lambfoot! Is that stag a handful? And I have to ask: how is the Norwegian American Pale Ale?

Thanks Shawn :D :thumbsup: The stag is great, it's actually the smallest of the Lambsfoot patterns that Wright's do, but it handles really nicely :) With that name, I had to try the Norwegian American Pale Ale (actually I didn't notice it was Norwegian until I got home)! :D It was OK, but really nothing special. I don't think the folks at Nogne have anything to worry about! :rolleyes: This 'American Brown Ale' from a Brewery just half a mile away from me is much more enjoyable :) :thumbsup:

The "standard" Duvel is, in my opinion, one of the finest beers in the world. I enjoy IPAs and Stouts and Sours and all that stuff, but at the end of the day, I still give props to Belgians and Germans for absolutely dominating what beers "should" taste like. Strong Pales (Like Duvel), Dubbles, Hefes, Saisons, etc: my palate always goes back to the "old standbys", which often get labelled as "boring".

I say all of this to ask: how is the Tripel Hop? I have not seen it locally, but I haven't been looking for it, either. As good as Duvel is, I would certainly give it the benefit of the doubt.

Duvel is one of my favorites as well. I don't drink it that often, but when I do, I always appreciate what a fantastic brew it is.

The tripel hop is quite good. I found it in a gift set with the glass I showed, two bottles of standard Duvel and two bottles of the tripel hop. I'd have to refresh my memory on the taste of standard before saying which I like better. Or, actually, I think I'll leave it with "they are both excellent examples of their respective styles and hence incomparable to each other." :D :D

Here's some more info from the box I noticed and extracted as I was breaking it down for recycling:

And, Jack, thanks for the compliment on the little carving. :)

I've done a miserable job at keeping up around here, life never seems to get any less busy.

Taking a break for now, brief as it may be.

Thanks a lot for the info Greg, I'm afraid I didn't manage to track a bottle down today, but I am drinking this 7.4 'Hazy New England-style IPA' from Yorkshire's Brass Castle Brewery out of a Duvel glass ! :D And very good it is :) Hope you're having a great weekend my friend :thumbsup:

Jack Black Jack Black I definitely recommend it if you can find it. Your consolation prize looks fantastic, though. :thumbsup::)

TheFactor TheFactor the handles of your Tuna Valley go very well with the artwork on the can. Nice pairing.

I treated my trusty lambsfoot to a spa day today. Relaxing with a drink afterwards:

The drink is called A Walk in the Woods and is a combination of gin and Björk liqueur.
