Same brewery as the previous beer no.165, same alcohol content. Piraat. Again a new beer which we didn't try out last time (festival) around. The beer undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, and is an amber beer at 10.5%. 
This is a totally new beer. The Gulden Draak. Golden Dragon? Brewed by the Brasserie Van Steenberge, and at 10,5% starting to be quite strong. (You might have noticed we are still at the Beer Weekend, and the alcohol amount has increased. Which might explain the increasing fuzziness of the photos!) 
Brewed by the Roman Brewery, I missed trying this is beer last year. Which doesn't mean, we don't know this beer. Au contraire. We love this beer. Sort of another great brune. Really, if you get the chance to try it, do opt for this alternative ( I am thinking here Chimay drinkers ... etc). Ename Dubble, an abbey beer, 6.5% (ay ay ay) but a great beer. Of course there are three other Enames: the blond, the tripel, and the cuvee 974.
Who said this task of trying all the Belgian beers is boring?
Oh la la :)
Brasserie de Val de Sambre / Brasserie de l'Abbaye d'Alune - who knows? Another new beer tried during the beer weekend. Just for info, before you start wondering: the beer glasses you see behind the beers I blog about are not actual beers drank by us. Some yes but most of them just empty glasses left by the many (many!) visitors. 
Lots of things make a lot more sense after the Beer Weekend. Arend was a totally new beer for most of us. Arend = Eagle (which explains the logo!). Brewed by De Ryck Brewery, I tried the very amber beer (5.5 % - notice the low alcohol trend? No worries, that will change). 
First one in the Beer Weekend batch: Newton. Experience taught me that it is always better to start with the light beers at a festival - this way both liver and blog will benefit.
