Is that a real pint or a short pint?

WTF is a short pint?

Presumably a 16oz pint, as opposed to the 20oz Imperial pint.

bottom line; english beers are LESS alcoholic per unit volume than
american beers. period.

How about belgian doppel & tripel ales?

Eww! they taste like molasses.

HEATHEN!


I've gotten to filter a good bit of belgian beer in my life. most of it
is vile, IMO. Stella is the only thing I've drunk in the 'first' world
that gives me a headache while I'm drinking it. Jupiler isn;t much
better and those gooey trappist beers are a bit too heavy for me. THe
Hoegarten isn't too bad, though, and Leffe at least doesn't make me
sick.
