The Seven Day Beer Challenge - My last entry - Having a pair of Kwak’s in their appropriate glass

Hi everyone! @lemouth writing here!

I know. I told that I won’t write everyday about beers. And this will not change (the last beer post was a couple of days ago). However, I have a second beer that is worthy to be shared!

@trumpman: I hope you are happy ;)

Both @lesmouths decided to have a nice beer before dinner, last Friday, just because it is Friday night. I know, this is a very good reason for a beer! My wife (@lamouthe) and I (@lemouth) hence picked a pair of Kwak’s, a typical Belgian amber ale.

The speciality behind this beer lies definitely behind its glass. This being said, each Belgian beer must be served in its appropriate glass… We can’t mess with Belgian beers!

The glass in which the Kwak is served has a really fancy form (you can check the picture). It is called the coach driver glass, because it has been designed for coach drivers. What a surprize!

The reason is very simple. Its form allowed it to be easily fixed to horse-drawn vehicles in the past, and the drivers could hence… drink and drive!

Another legend: the glass gives its name to the beer. When one drinks the beer straight, one can hear the sound kwak when air goes up into the glass. Okay, this is the legend (but it in fact works). The inventor of the beer at the end of the 18^th century was named Kwak.

Now, the feelings! The taste its pretty nice. One can recognize notes of sugar (or caramel), and a bunch of fruits. This means, a very nice and sweet way to start the week-end.

And just in case @justtryme90 is interested, I challenge him so that we could discover beers from the area of Boston! The rules are simple:

• You have to try a new beer every day, for 7 days (I screwed that totally);
• The beer must be something you have never tasted before (that is very subjective…);
• You must put a photo of the beer and write a few words about it (done);
• Nominate someone every day (failed as I didn’t do it everyday)
• If you are a social outcast with no friends to invite you just join the fun. You have every excuse to drink! (this one was very social, we were 2)
• Use the tag "#sevendaybeerchallenge" as one of your five tags.
