We recently made two Belgian Ales, a Trippel and what we're calling a Blackberry Grand Cru. Does anyone know the Belgian (Flemmish?) word for blackberry?

ARGH!

There's no such thing as Belgian or Flemish! They talk Dutch! Well the part that doesn't talk that incomprehensible French language anyway. :D

A blackberry is a BRAAM. :D

But, Belgian Waffles. Are they Dutch Waffles then?

Oh, wait. Since we dont talk with them I guess they still can be Belgian.

How about that Belgian Blue cow. Do they moo in Dutch? Or is it Dutch Blue? Or Gordon Bleu, no that is a cheese. Hm, this is confusing.

Who wares clogs then? The Dutch or the Belgians? And is it true that all they eat in Brussels is sprouts?

:dizzy:

Coors makes it, so it's more a pseudo-Belgian. :(

You mean "The Twins"! Actually, when I see those commercials, all I see are 2 set's of twins, kinda like Sal avator.
