Belgian Specialty Ale : One After 090909

[Shawn]

Hey, I actually made up an assorted six-pack for Richard last year... I believe he went ahead and drank them all together and forgot what he thought of them...?  

[Dean]

hah!  I can totally see him doing that.

I got your pm and replied ...you don't have to be a paying member to come to a meeting and see what we're all about, and all you guys (paid members included) who work Saturdays need to speak up so maybe we can schedule the odd meeting on an off-day so that nobody consistently misses out.

[Richard]

Yeah I mentioned it once but I'm not exactly vocal... in the absence of your presence, your beer would certainly be given a good home (again).

I actually still remember sitting down in the Miramichi and drinking your beers, was one of my first home-brew drinking experiences where I didn't go "ick". The rest is something of a blur, as I told you (Shawn)- it was xmas and I was pretty drunk at that point.

Sorry if I didn't give them the reverence that they deserved - next time I promise to review every single one

[Richard]

Also I'm down with hosting an "off-peak" meeting if you can't make a Saturday.

[Shawn]

I know you're joking, but please don't assume I think they deserve reverance! Like anyone else, I really like some I've made, some I have not enjoyed much at all, and others (the majority) have been in-between.

I find the main problem with trying to judge your own beers is that it's hard not to be too critical, but at the same time, sometimes you need someone to point out a flaw that maybe you've missed due to your own taste.
