  • Discovered a new beer last weekend



    Piraat is a 'living' beer, which means that after the primary fermentation in the keg,
    the beer also continues to evolve during the secondary fermentation in the bottle or
    in the keg after packaging.

    This is a world-class amber colored beer. American beer connoisseurs give it 98 out
    of 100. No other beer scores better. The flavor is so complex and so rich that every swallow conjures up new associations. Note the spicy light sweetness, which is richly balanced with the robust bitterness of the hops. It is an adventure of a beer, a treat.

    A strong beer like the Piraat has been brewed for a thousand years to be taken out
    to sea. The Vikings in particular were well acquainted with this type of potent beer.
    Piraat has a high nutritional value, keeps well for years and strengthens the body
    and morale of pirates and other seafarers. It is a healthy energy booster.

    Piraat is excellent with both meat and fish dishes, or can simply be enjoyed as a relaxing drink, alone or together with friends. Piraat is also enjoyed as a delicious beer with which to finish a tasty meal. Cigar smokers swear that there is no better beer to enjoy together with a good cigar.

    Did you know that there used to be no drinking water on ships? People did not drink water on land, so why would they take water out to sea? Some 1200 years ago, at
    the time of the Vikings, people first dared to go out to sea for longer periods so they needed a strong and nutritious beer that would keep well for a long time. A daily pint
    of Piraat gave the pirates and other seafarers the courage to face the rough weather at sea and the many other dangers, such as the boarding of another ship.

    Technical file for Piraat 9 %:
    9 % alcohol by volume, 18.5 ° Plato
    amber colored beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle or in the keg
    shelf life: at least 2 years after bottling date

    Technische fiche Piraat 10,5 %:
    10.5 % alcohol by volume, 23 ° Plato
    amber colored beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle or in the keg
    shelf life: at least 2 years after bottling date
    available in: small bottles 33 cl; bottles 75 cl, 1.5 l; kegs 30 l.
    I had just completed a century (100 mile) bike ride in San Luis Obispo, and was eating dinner at Taco Temple in Morro Bay (which is freaking awesome).

    I had a pint of Piraat (10.5%) ... After being totally zonked from the bike ride, it hit me pretty hard. However, it was awesome. Very strong, slightly sweet. Went great with my fish taco

    It doesn't look like I can find this stuff anywhere where I live. I'll have to order a few 1.5 liter bottles

    What are some lesser-known beers that you like?

          Sounds good.

          Try some Abita if you can find it. A local Louisiana beer that is really tasty.

          Sleep. The sound doesn't collapse to riffs of early eyes either.

              Beer is a "healthy energy booster" ?

                  What national beer do you prefer (generally)?

                  British
                  Irish
                  German
                  Belgian
                  Dutch
                  Canadian
                  American Macrobrew
                  American Microbrew
                  Mexican
                  Czech
                  Other European
                  Asian
                  Other?

                  I vote British #1 (the only thing British that I appreciate--sorry guys--) then American Micro, Guiness #3, with the occasional German wheat beer.
