Glass of Tripel Karmeliet (which was voted the World's Best Ale at the World Beer Awards in 2008) enjoyed by my blogging partner Rob at The Dovetail in London. Lovely beer, lovely glass. More from my UK trip to come.

Scene from a Belgian beer tasting at the Tap and Mallet in Rochester, NY. Included lots of Belgian and Belgian-style beers. This is only part of the lineup. Third from the left is a bottle of Westvleteren 8.

Arabier from De Dolle Brouwers in Belgium. Lovely bubbles upon opening.
