Whoever mentioned the Belgian abbey beers is dead on. I just got back from spending 10 days in Brussels, and the amazing range of beers there blows anything in North America completely out of the water. One bar we went to literally has 2,000 beers in stock at all times (Delirium Cafe). Anyways, my favourites over there were Leffe Blonde, Chimay Trappist, and Westleveren (sp?). Amazing taste, very strong too. Not to mention so much cheaper then here at home!
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

The local Hammerhead Ale and a couple Deschutes products (Black Butte Porter and Twilight Ale) are tops for me. If I feel like something lighter I have a faucet full of water.
Since some of you guy's are talking about Belgian beers, I happen to be a belgian 
my personal favors are:
Duvel (best when you let it ripe 6 months after purchase)
Grimbergen, Westvleteren(can only be bought in small quantity's from the monastry itself), Chimay, Bush, kasteelbier (it has the reputation of being beer for women because of its sweet taste and 12%:cheer: ), Westmalle, Bornem double (named after the village where I live) and Gembloux (got to taste it at Belgiums biggest knife show in Gembloux).
Our normal beers such as stella and jupiler are around 5.2 to 5.5% and during my drinking days I could easily handle 15 of them on one night.

Luksosova is a good vodka. If you like vodkas try, Zubrowka. It's another good polish vodka, and unique. Hard to find in the US though..STR8UP said:

I'll second the comment about Budvar from the Czech, that's a good beer. A lot different than our mass produced Budweiser here.
Until you've tried beer in Germany from a wooden barrel, you'll understand what true 'Bier' tastes like.
Sam Adams and Anchorsteam are the best beers in the U.S., aside from some microbrews you'll find around.

I think you guys mean Luksusowa. And yes, it is a quality vodka for the price. It doesn't mix very well, though. It's best on the rocks.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

**** most of you have ****ty taste in beers. I mean it's all subjective but still...
Any way the best brewery in North America is in Quebec. Unibroue. That's becuase it's modelled after Belgian beers, the best in the world. Their trippels are fantastic and at around 8% for a bottle the size of a wine bottle, it's a shock for many American drinkers to handle.
Some of my favorites are: Karmeliet, St. Bernardus, Rochefort, etc...
Hell, my own home brew kicks the **** out of 99% of what you can buy here dometically. Of course I've been doing 3 batches a month for years now. I usually do Saisons or trippels. Sometimes stouts.

It's pretty cool that as of the past few years the Belgian beers have really become popular around here. There are several stores around town that carry hundreds of them. Good to see that Americans are finally starting to appreciate some of the finer things in life
There is no comparison to beer fresh out of the tap at a brewery.Mr.Positive said:
Don't know if it came out of wooden kegs, but the stuff I had in Berlin was better than sex. Even the really good local beers here in the states are amazing if you get them from the brewery itself.
As for Sam Adams and Anchor....yea, for common beers both of those are fine examples. Try the Anchor Liberty Ale sometime. Very good as well.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'll have to try Anchor Liberty Ale, thanks.STR8UP said:
The wooden barrel beer was unique. I was at a bierhall in Munich that had it, it was great beer. The wooden barrels were huge, probably 5 times the size of a regular keg.
Another beer, actually one of my favorites, is Zywiec. It's a Polish beer, very good.
As one of those guys who has tried 300+ beers, the best beer I've ever purchased in an American store was Old Peculiar. British Strong Ale.
After many years, I think I've had it with Belgian Beer. It's like fizzy candy with alcohol. I'm not sure it should be classed with beer. It's like beer, Belgianbeer, and wine are three different beverages. The only Belgian-style beer I like is something called Belgian Farmhouse Ale.

On the subject of Belgian Abbey beers, I just tried Grimbergen's Blonde---Very nice. Light, but with a rich golden hue, taste of apricot and almond, and very drinkable. $11.50 for a six pack though...definitely a novelty!!
Also just tried Dogfish Head's Raison D'etre. Delicious. Packs a punch too!

i'd like to see this stickied
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
A good Belgian Blonde is a beer to behold. I've had a couple of them, can't remember names offhand, but the good ones were very good. And not the syrupy "candy" beers like some of them.
Speaking of Belgians......never, I repeat NEVER buy your girl Lindeman's Lambics.
Lambic beers are produced in certain regions of Belgium by a process known as "spontaneous fermantation" which means that it uses native yeasts from the air, so these beers can ONLY be made in the specific regions where they are developed.
They also happen to be made with fruit, VERY expensive and chicks take to 'em like crack cocaine.
Oh yea, and nobody mentioned the Belgian White ales!
Blue Moon is surprisingly good for being a Coors product, but for the real deal you gotta try Hoegaarden or even better yet Averey White Rascal which is a micro brewed in the states. there's another one that I can't remember right now that's very good too....
How about cool beer joints?
Coolest one i have been to is Gollem in Amsterdam. Saw it online before I went but didn't know where it was until i stumbled upon it on a tiny street near the shopping district. There's something about the memory of enjoying a wonderful belgian beer in an 18th century building the size of my bedroom that will stay with me till the day I die. Oh yea, and the other cool one was the micro brewery in Berlin under the train tracks. Talk about character!
*Edit* Can't forget about the beer halls in Munich. The beer isn't the best but there's something about the atmosphere that makes them a must see. And Oktoberfest, the MOTHER of beer festivals......although the beer wasn't great, I will never forget the SEA of people, the sights, sounds, and smells, and sitting down at a table with some very friendly Bavarian senior citizens who kept yelling "Hey Orlando" and throwing pretzels to us across the table. Priceless.
