It means wadder, which is a noun for a person who wadds (also an adjective for a person or thing of the Waddish persuasion.)

I heard a rumor that the guy that cuts the owner of the restaurants hair told him that he read Bartowel, and some guy complained that they might not have good beer, so then he called Esprit and got good beer... I don't know if that's true, but man... Crazy!

Finally got a chance to try this yesterday at lunch at BeerBistro... First off, I feel quite honored to have a beer named after me... Ha ha ha... I really enjoyed it, it's certainly another strong addition to a small group of more extreme OCB beers. I love the tap handle, for those that haven't seen...

Esprit, thanks for getting the thread back on track with some factual information. I'm interested in checking the place out, as I don't have any plans in the near future to actually visit Belgium, so this seems like the closest I'll get for a while :)

Ok, now I gotta try this place! Dangerous Dan's is the SHIZNIT when it comes to nasty-ass burgers (I mean that in a good way).

I'm discouraged from posting my opinion. LOL! Kinda ironic because no one else discouraged anyone to speak freely. That was my point... I'm glad you picked up on the irony of it... :) It was a funny sort of downward spiral... Let's all go have a fricken beer, hoppy or otherwise... I'm free for lunc...

Ok, so let me get this straight, Lister is encouraged to continue repeatedly posting his opinions that he doesn't like Pale Ales. I'm discouraged from posting my opinion. Fair play... No biggie...

I cracked open a bottle on Saturday. It certainly is easier to drink than most of it's breathern. The maltiness takes some of the edge off. Even then, I still don't understand the appeal of hoppy beers. They certainly aren't tasty nor refreshing. :-? Lister, I've seen your reviews on about 4 or 5 I...

Cass: It does seem to have something to do with the highlight on the querystring, perhaps this might have something to do with it:
