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.
Goliath (Gouyasse in local dialect) is a giant of folklore of the town of Ath.
ReplyDeleteThis beer brewed Ath bears his name. The brewery name is "La Brasserie giants."
In the city of Ath, this beer is also known to Gouyasse.
The name and logo were created Goliath for export to other countries but also for sale in others where the giant is best known under the name Goliath Belgian cities. This is to link beer and folklore of the city of Ath.
Here is Goliath the giant (and his wife) : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1218693790097&set=a.1218645428888.2033996.1311468713&type=3&theater
