I've commented elsewhere regarding bands from Cincy and Florida, and a lot of friends from those far reaches have really enjoyed these blasts! I am a devout subscriber from here on out. Good luck too with your re-up efforts. Thanks again for sharing your incredible collection.Dirk Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10696534949161003319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-24844780004360629772013-03-01T12:29:02.356-05:002013-03-01T12:29:02.356-05:00hi dan

I have some 45s but as a bottom feeder (due to economic reasons) I often don't find the killer stuff<br />I did poke around your site since posting and found a bunch more of your comps are still up<br />haven't had time to listen to everything I collected from you yet, but look forward to it. <br />thanx again<br />as to belgian beers being quite strong...<br />INDEED! some are 12 points (like a strong wine but with effervescence)<br />many of the monestary beers are killer (westmael, trappist etc.) and then there is always busch which is cheap for the street people but massively strong<br />I for one like the maes pils and jupiler as they are quite mild (around 5) and so reasonably priced as there is basically no tax on alchohol there<br />I still get to return about once a year or two as I have many friends there since the 80s<br />last time I was in brussels, a pint of pils in a bar was about 2.5 dollars so you can see how they keep the cafe society flourishing<br />and then there is the morte subit (sublime death) the bar where jaques brel always hung is still to this day a brewer of many fruity beers like lambics, all incredibly strong (and packing a major hangover after)<br />cheers<br />peter<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-8796638227139058762013-03-01T08:14:44.974-05:002013-03-01T08:14:44.974-05:00Thanks for joining in on the fun. Sorry I haven...Thanks for joining in on the fun. Sorry I haven't gotten to the task of completeing all the "re-ups" on the posts that have been yanked, but it's such a time consuming process. I think some are still active but you have to fish around. I'm looking for a way for to distribute the files in a way where one has acces to All of them in one location. That might cost me some $$$ but if I can do it a nominal cost, it'll be worth it.<br />Living in Brussels must have been a treat. I've never been there, but I 'd love to sample some of that "good stuff" that they serve up there. I've had a few Belgian beers (Stella Artois notwithstanding) that knocked my socks off, but they're so expensive I can't drink them even on a semi-regular basis. I'm a big IPA fan, but must admit that when the weather gets hot, a nice cold pilsener is the way to go.Glad you found me, and please, stop by often.<br />Cheers to you as well, DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245795096492126532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-33817726091283979622013-02-26T07:35:14.949-05:002013-02-26T07:35:14.949-05:00hi dan

They brew a lovely porter. Of course, we have many micro's that brew real beer and ale too (lol). Back in the early 80's one of the "second" jobs I had was hauling beer out of Genny for a distributor in New Bedford, Mass. The trailers would be loaded when I got there but the barrels went on last with big chunks of dry ice thrown in around them. A few times the barrelhouse wasn't ready for loading on a Sunday and I got to walk a couple miles up to the old ballpark and take in a Red Wings game while I waited. Were the trailers a couple cases short by the time they got back down to Buzzard's Bay? You betcha. Dick Dale: a lot of people don't know he grew up in Massachusetts. He lived in Quincy, Natick and Whitman - which is where I went to high school in the later 60's. Lennie Baker of Sha Na Na is from Whitman as is Steve Smith, the drummer for Journey way back when. Lennie played in a band called The Pilgrims (1 single on Plymouth Records). The Pilgrims were the house band at The Surf Ballroom at Nantasket Beach in the early 60's (later the Rockin' Ramrods were in the mid-60's). One of the earliest "surf" type records, from winter 1960, is Madness by the Rhythm Rockers, another Mass. band......so with that and Dick Dale's roots please don't think that "surf" is strictly southern California. It's a nice day here in Florida and I'm going for a bike ride on a trail that goes through the Phillies training complex. Going to stop and watch for awhile and on the way back stop for happy hour at Peggy O'Neils in old downtown Palm Harbor and have a few Genny Cream Ales and drink a toast to Dan's Garage. Stay warm!
