Hennepin

(Duvel Moortgat, Belgium, 7.7% EtOH)

When a Belgian fellow is at the end of a long day of yardwork in front of his Yurt or Igloo or whatever, he settles down on the couch, turns the channel to his favorite team's competitive tetherball match, and cracks open a Hennepin. A "Belgian Budweiser" per se. A mediocre beer of the people.

Having revealed my glaring knowledge gap when it comes to Belgian culture, I can now press on to the review.  Mix macrobrewed American pilsner with bottle conditioning, and behold, you have Hennepin. You're going to save a lot of money just drinking a Michelob while sniffing breadmaking yeast. Of course, you can always pour your (insert favorite cheap pilsner here) into this bottle with a funnel over and over again, out of site of any party guests you're trying to impress. Voilà! Totally classy, and imagine the savings!

...Ok I feel bad, that was pretty harsh.
