This is the largest competition in Canada, with winners advancing the AHA's NHC, which is the largest competition in the world. Entry deadline is April 3, 20...

westvleteren abt 12 I would really enjoy trying the 8 or the 12. Probably a great lawn-mower beer. Had a 2004 bottle of the 8 last year, also had fresh bottles of Rochefort 8 and 10 to compare at the same time. The Westy was good, but I'd still take either Rochefort over it, maybe even St Bernardus...

I recently purchased a membership too, and I also have not received any info. I'm not too worried about it, just check the website, and you should get a quarterly newsletter or something. However, I did know about the homebrew Porter Competition, looks like a Regina boy kicked some ass! http://homeb...

This may be, I will have to check Roger Protz' book on the history of stout and porter. Gary I'm no expert either, but I too am fascinated by early porter. Steve Cavan at Paddock Wood is a pretty knowledgable guy on the subject, I believe he has written papers and given presentations at universitie...

Re: Porter Blending
Guinness stout (at least originally and maybe still) was a blend of younger and oak-aged beers, thus essentially an 1800's porter except relatively strong and using also unmalted barley in the grist, which seems an Irish innovation. I'm pretty sure that Guinness did not use unmalted barley until th...

I don't drink a lot of Unibroue, in fact it has been a while since I've had one, but I had myself a bottle of Trois Pistoles last week. I find the spices (be it the yeast, or spice additions) to be way over the top, same as with Maudite. I re-visit both of these every year or so to see if my taste b...

Blanche de Chambly comes on draught? I've only had it in bottles, and again it's not totally my thing. Is the draught version pasteurized and/or filtered? I've had it on tap in Calgary, and it tasted totally neutered. Blanche de Chambly really needs that yeast in suspension to generate some flavour.
