, Dubbels, Wee Heavies and Doppelbocks, at first. That’s how I made the crossover from wine and then moved in to the hoppier sytles. Now double IPAs are my favorites but I had a tough time with them initially. I’m not a...

I don’t understand? dubbel? trippel? quadruppel? blonde?

Those do look good. Their Blanche sounds like a Belgian wit. Hoegarden (available fairly widely now) might not be quite as expressive as theirs...but give it a try – I like it for a refreshing, lighter beer on a hot day. The...

deepest, darkest suburbia) is the U.S. Border Cantina in Alpharetta. Chris Terenzi, the brewer, is the most adventurous one in town. And he does very good dubbels and really hoppy IPAs. The food is pretty good Tex Mex, though I...

that might lean too far toward sour. If you want Italian and malty for the pot roast, how about Moretti La Rossa? It’s going to be a little lighter than Celebrator. For more wine-like ideas, there’s lots of Belgian...

(versus say having a lineup featuring say: IPA, DIPA, Abbey Dubbel, Triple, -tor).

loads of room for toppings. €3.50. Beer: drink lots of it. If you’re boring or simple minded, get pilseners, but if you like flavor, take a Belgian Dubbel, Tripel or a Blonde. All the great names (Chimay, Westmalle,...
