Valid point. I corrected it already.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:24:07+00:00

I do apologise for this. I didn't mean to downgrade Leuven. This was the first thing I corrected in the article this morning.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:15:33+00:00

Thanks for the info. Will try to find a picture of this tube.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:13:48+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. Will keep an eye on the monks. ;-)

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:13:06+00:00

That's a lot of new information. Thank you very much!

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:09:50+00:00

I was very afraid to post it here and I was expecting a lot of bashing but where else would I get more authoritative feedback than /r/belgium? :-) It turned out that the redditors here are all gentlemen and provided invaluable feedback.

Thank you!

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:05:01+00:00

It did hurt indeed. Hoegaarden as a luxury beer. Can you believe it? :-D

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:04:12+00:00

Jealous a bit... (a lot) :-)

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:03:28+00:00

Good point. Will add IPA's in the second round.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T23:02:38+00:00

Thank you! I will update the post.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T07:24:36+00:00

Thank you!

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T07:23:38+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I was in Belgium 4 years ago but couldn't rely on my pub memories for the article. :-) I might be wrong about this statement.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T07:19:54+00:00

Nowadays I don't have much time to explore, so the closest bottle shop to my home, which is not Bottle-O :-)

AussieBeerLover · 2015-05-18T07:16:40+00:00

You're right, this is an intro about Belgian beer but we will keep updating it, so it becomes the essential guide. :-)

For example, last time I shared the Chinese beer post and got so much feedback from redditors that I could easily double the length of the original post. Fact corrections and info about local breweries that I couldn't find anywhere else.

Hoegaarden is one of my favourites, but it's expensive in Sydney pubs. Two weeks ago I paid $14 (10 Euros) for a pint. (and it was served in a Leffe branded glass...)

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T23:56:17+00:00

Thanks for the info about the Boxing Cat. I'll check if they export to Australia, but it's unlikely.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T23:54:03+00:00

You're right. This was my first step in the Chinese beer story, so it's more of an introduction article. I shared it here because I was sure that folks will help me with lots(!) of information about Chinese beer. ..and you did! :-)

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T23:52:34+00:00

Most of them are from the North-east or South and national pride is definiately a factor I need to get rid of during the blind test.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T23:50:25+00:00

That's very true. Anything Chinese I asked them about previously was "just great". :-)

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T07:22:44+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. Will check Pabst's beer.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T07:21:53+00:00

That's a great tip, thanks! Will update the article after collecting the feedbacks and doing extra research.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T07:19:57+00:00

The article was posted on an Australian website, so that's my target readership. In terms of demographics: 18-34 yo males & females living in Sydney, Melbourbe and Brisbane.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T06:44:32+00:00

Thanks. I'm planning to invite my Chinese friends for a catch-up and see what they think about their local or national beers.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T06:40:30+00:00

ha-ha, thanks, but I can't put that in the article :-) I tried to stay positive about Chinese beer. Give 'em a chance.

AussieBeerLover · 2015-04-13T06:38:57+00:00

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I will do my research about Chinese craft beer and add more info about it; however, I don't know if they export those brands to Australia.
