it was another spectacular night at Brasserie Beck.
(...food and drink described above...)
We were all stuffed and had nothing but praise for the food , beer and service.
no camera so no pics-- Norm I'll second everything. Just wonderful all around - food, service and Beer/Ales. Like Joyce said at one point though - I might have been up for some more heartier Belgians - like a Triple or several  - though considering my drive home (actually it was rather uneventful and easy/light) - perhaps the # and intensity of the drink was just about right 
My wife Lynda really enjoyed the leftovers BTW - the Cassiolet - (most yummy) and the beef stew - thanks guys!
I've always been a big Delirium fan - and this one didn't dispoint - its very drinkable (for a Belgian - which often require me to be in the mood as it were). The Campus was very citrusy and much like a lighte German Weisbier. The St Bernadus was rich and very tipical of for instance a Chimay Red label - sort of standard Belgian semi-dark. And the Kasteel Rouge was wonderfully sweet and delicious! What struck me was the freshness and perfect serving environment (glasses specifically tailored for each drink) that really made it. I coudl have drunk 2-3 more of each - easy!
Anyway - sorry for forgetting my camera...
And as usual some great/most interesting conversation....I wouldn't have been suprised to hear Norm say to Scott - "I am your father Luke" - for all of the commonality in their background experiences (places lived and travelled to etc).
