This will be the first in a monthly series of tastings at The Flying Saucer. This month we will be tasting 8 beers - 4 Belgian ales and 4 Belgian-style ales. We will sample 3-4 oz of each. There will be an assortment of meats and cheeses to accompany your beer. All for the price of $15. Furthermore, we will have one special beer to taste for an extra $5 if you are interested. The option is yours. This tasting will be educational, but also informal and fun. With each round of beers, we will give you a little info about the beers and style, from there you can enjoy your beer and feel free to wander around and socialize. Here is the beer lineup:

Tripel
Westmalle Tripel vs. Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

Strong Pale Ale
St. Bernardus Grotten Flemish Ale vs. Brooklyn Local 1

Strong Dark Ale
Trappistes Rochefort 8 vs. Allagash Odyssey

Quad
Urthel Samaranth vs. Ommegang Three Philosophers

Bonus Beer ($5 extra)
Malheur Brut Noir - A Biere Brut somewhat similar to champagne.

****NOTE****
Please keep in mind that Belgian ales and Belgian-style ales tend to be very high in alcohol. If you plan on driving, consider a designated driver or using a service like Zingo. You can call them at 1-877-NO-DUI-NC. A link to their website is on the right hand side of the page.
