[edit] Trappist beer
Hi again. I've just read your user page and saw that you were interested in the "holy beers". Just to say its nice to have someone more working on this topic as it was the subject of a kind of "war" between User:Cyril59 and myself. Please, read the relevant talk page before making major edits in the article. Thanx in advance, Julien Tuerlinckx 18:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A personal interest...
I have become somewhat of a Trappist ale nerd, as much as someone in Iowa can do. I can get Chimay and Achel pretty regularly, and some of the others occasionally. I understand that some of the monastaries would prefer that their beers are not sold outside Belgium. Which of them say this; I certainly want to respect it. Do you live in Belgium?

- You're lucky to get Achel as it's actually the smallest of the Trappist breweries. The only brewery that doesn't like the resale of its beer is Westvleteren. It's not just not-sold-outside-belgium, but in fact only "allowed" to be sold at the monastery itself and the inn across the road. All other sales are grey market. Oh and I live in Holland, next door to Belgium. Riflemann 23:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beer cats & kittens
It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson and supported by User:Syrthiss that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. This proposal has been supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

[edit] Cheers
As a Trappist beer lover and former Utrecht resident myself, I wanted to extend my thanks for your work on the beer articles here in Wikipedia! I'm having a Blauwe Chimay in your honour as I write this, in fact. Dank u wel! LondonIce 04:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
