shite... I wouldn't even know where to start.

I can tell you that I really enjoyed the Urthel Samaranth Quad at The Cove and it was a good bit cheaper than other Belgian ales.

The Koningshoeven Bock is a really interesting brew too... considering it's a Trappist bockbier.

I'd also try this... it's on draft and I've never heard of it. I doubt this bar would put something subpar on one of their taps.

And Supplication... can't go wrong with some Russian River.

Yeah, these guys always get great beers! Last time I was there the bill for me and 2 other people was $60 each including tip. We each had a $12 burger...the rest was for 3 beers each I think. LOL.

From my last visit. A little dark...

Yuri Brew


I've heard yuri mentioned once on a website. Said he makes some of the best beer on west coast, but didn't sell his stuff. Either that person was wrong or he meant he didn't bottle or they just started selling it. Either way I'd grab it.

I'd also pick up a rodenbach, supplication, and cantillion if you like sour styles. Also prob I Hardcore You to end or start.


That being said, everything I've tried or heard of on that list is supposed to be great. The stuff I haven't heard of is probably on par with the rest.

Love that song. I was balls deep in that show from the first episode. Just finished re-watching it.


Another great song by Jon Lajoie (taco, but not from league)

NOPE, no scantily clad women. But they do have at least a couple of Belgian nationals working there.

The beer list comes in this massive binder that is hard to read when sober and even harder after a couple of 8%+ beers...lol.

Thanks for all the suggestions...and for the reminders that I need to stop sleeping on The League.

Ok, while writing down beer suggestions for tonight I thought I would give everyone 1 more chance to chime in.

Also, since I am hitting up Rogue prior to Le Trappe, any specialty Rogue beers to be on the look out for? The Ale House in SF has 43 taps but doesn't list whats available. Likely gonna start off light at Rogue before building up to bigger and likely sour beers at La Trappe.
