Light and crisp with hints of grass straw. High carbonation, a great finish, very solid beer. Gulden Draak 330ml Alc 10.5% Vol. Named for the golden statue at the top of the clock tower of Ghent. Gulden Draak is a dark brown triple ale, which makes it an exception among the Belgian Triples. The second fermentation offers a nice creamy head, it’s full body with all the vitamins of the centuries old brewers yeast. It is a "thick" beer that you can actually "nimble" to adventure the complex taste. Gulden Draak balances a natural malt toffee like sweetness with some hoppy accents. The aroma is round, sweet and reveals the 10.5% alcohol volume. You sip and enjoy this beer slowly. "a treat you definitely deserve". Lamoral Triple 330ml Alc 8.0% Vol. Hazy orangish-light brown with white flannel blanket that lasts fairly well. banana and clove aroma with wafts of higher alcohols. Smells like fresh wort, surprisingly blended with banana-clove, ethanol, spicy malt and again surprisingly not very sweet. Bitterness barely detectable with some fruity notes. Medium body feel with lots of carbonation. Delirium Tremens 330ml Alc 9.0% Vol. The colour is golden and the head creamy and light. It’s hopped and surprisingly malty for such an airy beer. The aftertaste is fruity almost cherry and has a big body and rich mouth feel and a long, sweet aftertaste. Commonly named “DT” a disease named after people who are addicted to alcohol. B BOTTLED BEERS abbey beers or monastic ales Distinct from Trappist beers, Abbey beers are brewed by M commercial brewers and licence their name from abbeys, some defunct, some still operating.

The rule, never ask for "a beer" applies especially in Belgium. Such a request will bring forth a perfectly acceptable lager of a type, but one that could just as easily be found in many other countries. The great beers of Belgium are not its lagers. Its native brews are in other styles, and they offer an extraordinary variety, some so different from more conventional brews that at the initial encounter they are scarcely recognisable as beers. Yet they represent some of the oldest traditions of brewing in the Western world. No other country (even those with far more breweries) has among its native styles of beer such diversity, individuality, idiosyncrasy and colour. Nor does any other country present beers so beautifully. Belgian brewers often use wired and corked Champagne bottles, and serve each beer in its own shape of glass, ranging from flutes to snifters and chalices. It is something of a Belgian speciality to bottle beers with a sediment of live yeast, so that they can be laid down to mature. This technique is usually indicated on the label by the phrase "re-fermented in the bottle" (Refermentée en bouteille / Hergist in de fles ).

  • What Is a Trappist Beer?
    What is a Trappist Beer? A “Trappist” has to satisfy a number of strict criteria proper to this logo before it may bear this name: ·The beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery, either by the monks themselves or under their supervision. ·The brewery must be of secondary importance within the monastery and it should witness to the business practices proper to a monastic way of life. ·The brewery is not intended to be a profit-making venture. The income covers the living expenses of the monks and the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. Whatever remains is donated to charity for social work and to help persons in need.

  • Drink Menu- March 2019
    HISTORY OF MILLER’S In 1950, three brothers of Greek descent, Pete, Nick and Jimmy Gallios, pooled all of their resources and purchased the flailing Miller’s Pub from the Miller brothers, who had established the bar in 1935. After the purchase, the Gallios brothers did not have the $500 it would have cost to change the sign on the pub, so the name Miller’s remained. In 1953, after finishing his military service, younger brother Vannie worked his way into a stake in the pub. The Gallios Brothers started out with one humble goal- support their growing families. So they rolled up their sleeves, went to work and never looked back. Little did they know that one day their little pub would become a beloved piece of Chicago history. Over the years they imprinted not only their work ethic but their personalities on the pub. It became one of the most famous late-night spots Chicago had to offer, where on any night of the week an average couple out on-the- town might find Marilyn Monroe or Mayor Daley in the booth next to them. Chicago baseball legends Bill Veeck and Harry Caray were regular customers and became lifelong friends of the family. Jimmy Durante never came to town 1962 ! VANNIE JIMMY PETE NICK without stopping by for some figs & cream- he didn’t drink. Bob Fosse’s dancers spent many post-show evenings- that lasted into mornings- at the back of the bar. Celebrities, however, were only a small part of Miller’s. The brothers worked hard to create an atmosphere that was not only friendly and bustling, but one where anyone who had been there more than once found out there was a good chance they would be recognized not only at the front-door but by their server as well.
