SUMMER 2017 BIER IS A HUGE PART OF LOWLAND EUROPEAN CULTURE as integral as frites, cafés, and bicycles. And here at Café known as the Belgian Brewer s Guild. Each year, our Hollander, we love bier from sourcing unique biers to Brewminati council combs the breweries, monasteries and perfecting the way each is served in the proper glass. In cobblestone streets of Europe to meet with the monks, fact, a member of our Brewminati (our team of bier brewmasters and families who have made bier their experts) has even been named an Honorary Knight in passion for centuries. We hope you enjoy tasting these Belgian s Knighthood of the Brewer s Mashstaff, better unique biers as much as we enjoyed discovering them. A FEW NOTES ABOUT OUR BIERS WE DON T SERVE PINTS THERE WILL BE FOAM POUR SIZES WILL VARY Every Belgian brewery creates a specific, custom glass for each of their biers. The shape and size of a glass can drastically alter the appearance, aroma and taste of a bier, which is why we go through great lengths to import the proper glass supplied by the brewers of the biers we carry. Just check out the racks of glasses behind our bar to see for yourself. Now it s time to choose a bier and raise a (proper) glass! If you re not accustomed to Belgian biers, you may be surprised by the amount of head your bier is served with. A large portion of the experience of Belgian biers is olfactory and the flavor of the bier is greatly impacted by what your nose is doing at the time of quaffing. Please realize this is how the brewer intended the bier to be served and we go through great lengths to make each pour as proper as possible. Many of the specialty biers we carry are well over 10% alcohol and are therefore poured in smaller quantities than the more sessionable biers you may be used to. This is why we include pour-sizes on our menus so you can be assured that your pour is intentional. Many of our imported glasses even feature pour lines that indicate where the liquid portion of the bier should be!
