Food and Beer: A Great Combination

Hello!  It was a rainy day in Mass. today.  However, we were happy when we got to watch the show: TV Dinner with Billy Costa.  In the episode, Bill Flumerfelt and Carolyn Johnson use the Poperings Hommel beer (brewed by Brewery Van Eecke) to cook with. Carolyn is the chef at the Rialto Restaurant and Bill is the chef at the Icarus restaurant.  Both of these restaurants are in Boston.  They are making a clam dish. 

Grab a glass of Poperings Hommel beer!  Relax and enjoy the show!

Cheers,

Global Beer Network

Belgian Beer Fest 2008!!

Quote by Ben Franklin 

Hi Global Beer Network Fans!!!  On August 23rd, Global Beer took a break from work and went to Lovell, Maine for Ebenezer Restaurant and Pub's Belgian Beer Fest 2008.  We had a really good time and met some awesome people. We were amazed that alot of people frequent this pub because it is in the middle of nowhere.  People camped out in back of the pub. The food was amazing especially their pommes frites (French fries).  For drinks, we of course drank our products which consisted of Bier du boucanier  Gold,  Gentse triple   Keizersberg and Gulden Draak.

Please check out Ebenezer's website at www.ebenezerpub.net!!!

All pictures were taken at Ebenezer Restaurant and Pub.

Quote of the Day:

"Not all chemicals are bad.  Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer."
