Beers at 5% - 6% were also brewed but drunk less and mainly on more special occasions. To say that you are ‘amazed’ that anyone would drink a beer is so amazingly ignorant.

@brianmurphy8811 6 жыл бұрын

I believe the point of the wooden structure is to prevent heat transfer from your hand to the beer. It's also why wine glasses have stems, and why you're not supposed to hold the 'globe' of the glass, only the stem. "Hoppy" is a reference to hops, which are the green 'buds' that are used in production of many beers. They 'typically' have a floral/citrusy and even piney smell/taste, though, they also produce the 'bitter' flavor in beer (the higher the IBU, which stands for International Bitterness Units, generally, the more hops have been used...though, some beers like Heady Topper from Alchemist have MASSIVE amounts of hops, but isn't super bitter)

the kwak beer is called like that, because when you drink it (because of the shape of the glass) it makes a 'quack' sound these glasses are also quite expensive, so the owners of some bars ask a shoe to hang in a basket on the ceiling, to make sure that you don't run away with it

No it's not. It's named after brewer and innkeeper Pauwel Kwak.

That proof that the rest of the world drink beer to get drunk and not enjoy it. The great diversity of beers in Belgium is accompanied by a rich local beer culture, something that most Belgians are very proud of. Belgium has countless cafés where a large number of beers are poured or tapped. For optimum taste, every beer must be served at its "ideal" temperature (usually between 8 and 15 ° C), with the correct height of the head. Every beer is poured in its own specific glass, a rule that is rarely deviated from. Beer culture in Belgium is officially protected by the UN.

Legend goes that, during Napoleon times when coaches were the preferred mode of transportation between cities, a certain innholder by the name of Pauwel Kwak took pity on the coachmen who weren’t allowed to come in for a drink along with their well-off clientele because they had to watch their luggage and the horses. Kwak, designed a glass with a wooden holder that the driver could fasten to the carriage so he too could enjoy a delicious Kwak brew while steering. The special feature was that if you would chug the beer the trapped air would make a distinctive sound and spill the beer all over you. We don't want our coach drivers to be drunk!

You forgot the "Westvleteren". As a Belgian, this is the best beer I ever had. You can not buy this beer in stores or shops. It is only available at the brewery itself. You can get this at the Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus in Westvleteren. If you want to buy this beer at the Abbey you can only buy a maximum of 2-3 crates because of its high demand.

FOR THE GLASS OF THE KWAK: Its particularity is to be served in a particular form of glass, the "Cocher glass". (cocher = Person driving a carriage.) According to the brewery, this glass would have been created for them, its shape allowing them to hang the glass to the carriage to consume it without descending. PS: We're waiting for Part 2 with Trappist this time ;)

One thing you are doing wrong here guys: you are not using the correct glasses. I am not Belgian myself, but I grew up about 20KM from the border in the Netherlands and we have a fairly similar beer-culture here. Belgian beer-glasses are specifically designed for the beer in question, they channel the aromas, keep the beer at their optimum aeration and fizzyness and are designed to keep the head on the beer as long as possible (yes, head is in fact very important in beer).

@holymaryfullofshit3790 6 жыл бұрын

having a head on your beer is a good thing. also vigurously pouring the beer gets rid of a part of the "bubbles" wich makes it easier to digest and prevents the bloated feeling from beer.

@soroh0062255 6 жыл бұрын

The name of the "kwak" beer is actually the sound it makes when air gets trapped in the bulb bit under beer and then pops back out. That's what happened when they spilt it on themselves. The glass is shaped as it is because it was taken by the carriage drivers and hung from the side of his seat (a regular glass would just fall off, but this one stays put). Fun fact: the kwak glass is pretty expensive compared to other beer glasses, so pubs often make you give up one of your shoes so you don't run off with it (or in case you break it).

And btw Kwak is named after the brewer called Pauwel Kwak. The shape of the glass is formed that way because of the horse carriages. Back in Napoleon times the riders of the carriage couldn't abandon their horses, so they made a little holder on their carriage so the glass could fit there. Hence the wooding thing you need to drink kwak and hence the name "koetsiersbier" in Belgium or "carriage beer"

Head on a beer is what you want, it is a sign of freshness and protects the beer from oxidation. As great as Irish/British beers are, this is a very common misconception on these islands. In Austria, we think a beer has gone stale if there are not at least three fingers of head on it.
