Grimbergen Beer (Metal Trek)

Taken from the 2013 Belgian Invasion, Brussels and Antwerpen Day 2

Grimbergen, a beer I only had during my first visit to Belgium. a Belgian Pale Ale, this beer stands at 6.7% ABV, and while it isn't a heavyweight, as a middleweight it can still deliver a heavy blow, and it is a beverage not to be underestimated. The flavor has a smooth texture with a touch of sweet bitter. The Phoenix Rising is definitely a Deströyer 666 approved Metal rating, hence allowing the beverage entry into Metals equivalence of Valhalla \m/

Slayer Cocktail (Metal Trek)

Taken from the 2013 Belgian Invasion, Brussels and Antwerpen Day 2

The Slayer Cocktail. Take some Eristoff Vodka, Tequila and Bols Blue, mix 'em together, and you got a War Ensemble of a beverage. The taste is a harsh sweet that goes down smooth, but it will knock you on your ass on the first strike.

Judas Beer (Metal Trek)

Taken from the 2013 Belgian Invasion, Brussels and Antwerpen Day 2

Judas Beer, a Belgian Strong Pale Ale at 8.5% ABV. A decent heavyweight, it definitely has a noticeable kick with a bit of clout and the taste is hoppy. It's credentials for being a Metal beer? Take a good long look at the name and tell me if you don't notice a missing word? Hint, think holy man, father, rabbi, shaman, etc (at this stage, if you haven't figured it out, you have failed as a Defender of the Faith). Aside from the obvious references, the name and aesthetics of the drink are definitely in League with Satan, and can guide one to a Heavy Place \m/

Goliath Beer (Metal Trek)

Taken from the 2013 Belgian Invasion, Brussels and Antwerpen Day 2

Like with any meal, a good beverage to wash down the chow is a definite must, and this would be the HUGE discovery mentioned earlier, and aside the other beverages that didn't make it on this blog, one from this establishment was worthy to grace the halls of Metal Trek. Introducing Goliath Beer (I told you it was :::HUGE:::), a tripel beer with a 9% ABV. For a name like Goliath, I was hoping it would break the 10% barrier, but this will do. So why does Goliath get a spot on a Metal Blog like Metal Trek and Channel 13? For starters, it shares the name with a very Metal Disney character. The giant is also wearing a helmet with a bird of prey (species undetermined) on top of it. The font style definitely helps the beer case for its Metalocity. The taste is very malty, but clean, deceptively clean.

La Guillotine Pale Ale (Metal Trek)

Folks, as Metal Trek ( http://metaltrek.blogspot.com ) is about to embark on its next wave of updates, the 2013 Belgian Invasion has provided some Metal Beers for the world to behold \m/

Since these beers were discovered during the 2013 Belgian Invasion, it is only fitting that Metal Trek take the lead in presenting the beers, so the section of the post that involves the beer will be mirrored here as well as linked so you may view the post it belongs to. The posts are small, but worth the read.

The first beer on this voyage of the Nectar Gods is La Guillotine Pale Ale, and if there ever was a beer fitting to kick off this series of posts, this is it.

Taken from Metal Trek: 2013 Belgian Invasion, The Day Before Departure and Brussels Day 1

La Guillotine Beer, a Belgian Pale Ale. What makes it Metal? It's a freaking guillotine, the device used to take peoples heads off. I believe no further explanation on its Metalocity is needed. The beer stands at 8.5% ABV, making a decent middleweight, with a clean yet strong taste, with a hint of sweet.
