MODERN TIMES / ABADDON ...................................................................................................................................................... 3/5 Helles Lager / 5.5% ABV / 28 IBU 5oz • 12oz Our brewers in Portland got together with our homies at Wayfinder Beer to create this stellar Helles. Naturally carbonated through a method called "spunding," this lager is beautifully bright and effervescent, with subtle hints of toasted bread and honey. Ridiculously drinkable and balanced, Abaddon was brewed with German malts and hopped with Perle abd Hallertau Mittlefruh to give it an expressive take on a traditional style.

  • Westmalle Trappist Product Sheet
    Merchant du Vin, America's Premier Specialty Beer Importer since 1978 merchantduvin.com The Westmalle Abbey, north of Antwerp in Flanders, Belgium, was founded in 1794 and began to brew beer in 1836. The brewery is one of only seven Trappist breweries in the world, and is renowned for defining the Dubbel (or Double) and Tripel (or Triple) styles. All ingredients used are selected and processed with utmost care: barley malt, hops, pure liquid Belgian candi sugar, yeast and natural groundwater from the Abbey well. The brewers take great pride in maintaining careful control over the brewing process - all hops are added by hand and no chemical additives of any kind are found in Westmalle ales: they are the flavor of nature, of tradition, and of dedication. Westmalle Dubbel: Amber-brown color, with a subtle deep-caramel aroma and flavor balanced by Belgian yeast character. Deeply malty, with a dry finish that hints at tropical fruit, this is the classic Belgian Double, or in Flemish "Dubbel." Bottle-conditioned. Westmalle Dubbel 11.2 oz. (330 ml) Food-pairing suggestions: sweeter soft cheeses, beef rémoulade, rich sauces, or after dinner with espresso. Package sizes: 12/11.2 oz. (330 ml) bottles; 6/25.4 oz. (750 ml) bottles. Westmalle Dubbel 25.4 oz. (750 ml) 7% alc./vol. - OG 1.063 - IBU 24 Westmalle Tripel: The benchmark Tripel? Yes, according to many tasters and beer aficionados. Powerfully drinkable, glowing deep-gold color, and herbal aroma that suggests candied orange. Complex flavors of herb notes, rich malt sweetness, Saaz hops, Westmalle Tripel and warmth.

Vercruysse en Zoon, St.-Andries 1971 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_bie001197101_01/colofon.php © 2014 dbnl i.s.m. 5 [Nummer 1-2] Veelnamig Vlaanderen Een overzicht van de oude samenstellingen De talrijke samenstellingen met de naam Vlaanderen weerspiegelen de bewogen geschiedenis van het oude graafschap. Toponymie en lexikografie hebben de ‘flandronymie’ van de composita totnogtoe niet overzichtelijk behandeld. Het Woordenboek der Ned. Taal (1964) heeft niet meer dan zes samenstellingen opgenomen, met name: Frans-, Kroon-, Oost-, Staats-, West- en Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. De Flou beperkt zich uiteraard tot composita die hij in zijn bronnen uit en over Westelijk Vlaanderen heeft ontmoet. Het volgende overzicht is beperkt tot het historische Vlaanderen, alias Oud-Vlaanderen, d.i. het graafschap dat, als politieke entiteit, heeft standgehouden tot aan de aanhechting en transformatie in departementen bij de Franse Republiek in 1795. De hoop op ‘restauratie’ van de provincie Vlaanderen in 1814 was kortstondig. De twee ‘Vlaanderse’ departementen (Leie en Schelde) werden de provincies West- en Oost-Vlaanderen in het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden eerst, en weldra in het Koninkrijk België. De grote Oxford Dictionary van Murray bepaalt de term Flanders eenvoudig (en historisch juist) als: ‘The name of an ancient countship now divided between Belgium, France and Holland’. Deze territoriale splitsing, bron van nieuwe naamgeving, wordt in Ter Laans Woordenboek van de Vaderlandse Geschiedenis (1939) drastisch uitgedrukt in de formule: ‘Vlaanderen verloor in de Tachtigjarige Oorlog Zeeuws-Vlaanderen aan Holland en (in de volgende Europese oorlogen) Frans-Vlaanderen met Duinkerke aan Frankrijk’. De tweetaligheid (diets-romaans) van het graafschap en de (dubbele) feodale afhankelijkheid (Frankrijk en het Rijk) leveren vanzelfsprekend de oudste middeleeuwse samenstellingen.

    January 23, 2021 Image of the day Motor cycle racing suspended in NI… …and so is in person worship [email protected] Page 1 January 23, 2021 Church services to remain suspended - Church of Ireland Bishops in NI The bishops write - As you will be aware, yesterday afternoon the Northern Ireland Executive took the unanimous decision to extend the current Covid–19 restrictions until Friday 5th March 2021. This decision was based on the strong recommendation of the Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Scientific Advisor, as a result of the continued extremely high level of transmission of the Covid–19 virus throughout the community (which over these last four weeks had not reduced to the level that had been hoped for), along with the increasing numbers in hospital and intensive care. In the light of this decision, and on the basis of the clear and unequivocal public health advice that people should [email protected] Page 2 January 23, 2021 continue to stay at home, we have decided that all in person Sunday gatherings for worship, along with all other in person church gatherings, should remain suspended in all Church of Ireland parishes in Northern Ireland until Friday 5th March 2021 – with the exception of weddings, funerals, arrangements for recording and/or live–streaming, drive–in services and private prayer (as permitted by regulations).This same step is also being taken today by the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. While we acknowledge that there is both cost and disappointment in this for many, we see this decision as part of our response to the command of Jesus to love our neighbours.
