Orval from Belgium

水が飲用に適さなかった中世では、旅人と言えば、巡礼者、宿屋と言えば修道院という時代、修道士たちは巡礼者の食事のためにビールを醸造しました。このように宗教改革が行われるまで、ビールは修道院でたくさん作られていました。
このオルバル修道院の歴史は1070年まで遡ります。その独特な色と風味は当時の私は何かハーブが入っているような薬草の様な香りと記録しています。
オルバルとは”黄金の谷”という意で、イタリアのトスカーナからきた王女と黄金の指環の民話（王女が谷にある湖に指環を落とし、もし見つかったら、修道院を立てることを誓い、鱒がそれを口に加えて現れた）が由来です。ラベルのロゴもそれに由来します。
Trappists used to brew beers for pilgrims in The Middle Ages because water was not suitable for drink use and talking of travelers, it was pilgrims and talking of inn, it is monasteries at that time. Beers had been brewed at monasteries until Reformation period in Europe.
The history of Orval is stared in 1070 A.D! Orval produces just one Trappist beer of awesome complexity and depth of flavours.
The name of Orval is from "D'Or Val" (The Golden Valley), according to legend, a Tuscan Princess lost her ring in a lake in the valley and vowed to build an monastery there if the ring were returned to her. A trout broke the surface of the water with the ring in its mouth. The image is now the logo of the brewery.

Bruegel from Belgium
.JPG)
ブリューゲルといえば、有名なベルギーの画家です。”農民の踊り”は代表作で、このビールのラベルにも使用されています。ブリュッセル西部のフランダースの陽気な農民たちがランビックビールを楽しんでいる絵です。彼らは熱烈なビール党です。
このビールはランビックではないですが、ビール王国ベルギーらしく、どっしりとしたしっかりした味のビールです。
Talking of Bruegel, the name is a famous Belgian drawer who drew peasants pictures. The label of beer take up his work and Flanders peasants are crazy about beers, especially Lambic.
Although the beer, Bruegel, is not Lambic style, it is full-body taste and very good taste.

Gulden Draak from Belgium

Gulden Draakは金龍という意。まるで香港ビールみたいですが、れっきとしたベルギービールです。このGulden Draakはゲントにある鐘楼上部の金の像に由来します。この像は大知事十字軍遠征時の1111年にノルウェーの王がコンスタンチノープル（今のイスタンブール）に献上されたものですが、その後、十字軍の戦いの賃金のためにベルギーのフランダースに移送されました。1382年の事です。
Gulden Draak is named after the golden statue at the top of the Belfry in Ghent. The statue was originally donated to the city of Constantinople by the Norse king in 1111, during one of the first crusades. Count of Flanders ordered it to be transported to Flanders. In 1382, the cities of Bruges and Ghent even waged a battle over this statue.

Beer-Holic, Beer-A-Holic or Beer-O-Holic???
It was an opportunity to ask to him what is the correct, Beer-Holic, Beer-A-Holic, Beer-O-Holic.
It seems that Beer-A-Holic is correct according to American colleague.
Anyway, it is coinage quoted from Workaholic.
