Re: Belgians? Just wondering...

2010-08-05 by Dieter

Hello Dan!

I'm not quite sure about the exact history of my tron... I bought it from Hessel Herder (NL) about a year ago and, if I'm not mistaking, it had been maintained by the people of Streetly.  Current tape racks are one original (8choir/String Ensemble/Sax) and a new one (MKII Brass/MKII 3 violins/MKII Flute) and I will buy some new ones very soon

Cheers
Dieter, President, CEO and financial manager of the Belgian Committee

A lot of our Ontario Micro-breweries are experimenting with Belgian style flavoured beer: Nickleback has apple lager, Mill St. has lemon, Great Lakes has orange peel and green tea ales, Kawartha has raspberry, to name a few.I think to maintain your standing on this site, you should send each willing member a sample or two of Belgian brew regularly. You have enough breweries; about 600 I read somewhere, so there is no excuse.
