Campbell’s Scotch Ale from Belgium

スコッチエールとあって、なぜベルギー?と思われる方が多いと思います。過去の2回の世界大戦でイギリス軍がベルギーに駐留していた時の置き土産です。イギリスのライセンスの下、ベルギーで作られており、その一部にはイギリスにちなんだ名前がつけられています。

I suppose why it is Belgian beer in spite of "Scotch Ale". It is because of a parting gift when British armies were stationed in Belgium when it was WW I and WW II. British Ale such as Stout, Scotch Ale and English Ale are brewed in Belgium based on the license of British breweries and some of them are named the brand name connected to Britain.

‘t Smisie Dubbel from Belgium

とてもレアなビールと思います。試飲当時のビールラベルにはwebsiteの表示なく、醸造所名も不明(というか読めない)。
このブログアップの際に検索したがまともに出てこない・・・。
当時のコメントは濁った茶色ビールで泡がほとんどないとあります。中世のビールそのままという感じです。

Sloeber from Belgium

Sloeberとはフラマン語で美食家という意味です。

Sloeber means "Epicure" in Flemish. It is typical Belgian beer name, isn't it?

La Wépionnaise from Belgium

イチゴのビールです。ランビックでもクリークでも、グーズでもないです。ウェピオンはナミュールから8km南に下ったところにある、150年も前からイチゴが栽培されているベルギーで有数のイチゴの産地です。そこにある醸造所の地ビールです。コメントにあるように、強烈なイチゴの香りが印象的です。

Situated 8 km south from Namur, along the Meuse, Wépion is the Belgian capital of strawberry. People have been cultivating strawberries for more than 150 years. There is indeed in Wépion a microclimate, plantations exposed to the sun on the west slope, and a schistose soil which is favourable for this farming.

Belgian Kriek from Belgium

いろいろクリークを飲みましたが、これは人工甘味料を感じさせないナチュラルなものでした。

Although I tried many kriek type beers, it is actually natural flavour and taste.

Bloemenbier Tripel from Belgium

これは、私が欧州駐在の最後の最後にオランダの同僚に分けていただいた貴重なビールです。
それもそのはず、ベルギーで最大手の苗生産会社が自家用に醸造したもので、非売品です。
気になるそのお味の方は、甘みがまだ強く、おそらく、瓶内発酵するタイプと思います。できれば、複数貰って1年ごとに味を試したかったですが、頂いたのは貴重な1本のみでした。

It is the memorial beer for me as I got it from my Dutch colleague when I come by The NL before going back to Japan.
It is an article not for sale because the biggest plug raiser in Belgium brews for private use as hobby.

It is mahogany colour and rich and creamy foam beer. Particular flavour (maybe it is fruity flavour) with sweet after taste.

Silly Saison from Belgium


ベルギー東南部では夏季の暑い日にはセゾンビールと呼ばれる上面発酵のアルコール度数が比較的低い(といっても、一般のベルギービールがアルコール度数が高いのですが)を飲みます。その地方の名前を取ってワロニアビールとも言います。夏に合う炭酸が強いのも特徴です。


The people in Wallonia where is south-east area (French speaking) in Belgium prefer to drink speciality beer which is called Saison Beer (Wallonia Beer) in summer. It is light taste with strong carbonation for summer season.

Uitzet from Belgium

名前 (Microbroewerij) の通り、小さな地ビールですが、お味の方は、コメント通り、非常にすばらしいものです。
それもそのはず、このUitzetとは、火事の時に消火よりもまず先にビールを担ぎ出しなさいという昔話にちなんだ名前です。
これは日本では入手できないでしょうね。:-)


Although it is a small brewery as the name "Microbroewerij", the taste was actually "never-forget" one.
"Uitzet" means "Carry out" based on the old story that carrying beers out first of all than extinction when fire accident is occurred.
Probably it is impossible to try in Japan so far...:-)
