Thank you for your kind comment.

It's 21:45, I am going to have my dinner...
... and of course something to drink with it.

Vino!

I read that beer has become more popular in France nowadays.

It is quite recent actually! When I was in Belgium in 2006 (I did my student internship in the Brussels Royal Observatory), Belgian beers where completely unknown in France. I started to see some Trappist beer like Chimay in 2010 and, now, as you say, beer is coming quite popular in France and mostly in Paris. There are many brewery in the suburbs selling their products to some kind of "hipster's pubs" of the capital. I don't complain, I love fine beer. ^^

I noticed that I the USA and Canada, the phenomenon seems much older...
There were interesting small brewery since 2007 (and probably before).
Culinary arts are among my favourite topics...

Craft beers made by small companies have become popular in the US for the past couple of decades.

You can brew your own beer, but unfortunately home-brewed beer has a short shelf life. I know a man who makes homebrew wine. It tastes awful.

I made some beer last November.
It was quite enjoyable this Summer.
Yet, I opened one recently, it starts to decay...

Well, yesterday evening I decided to make an exception and drink this :

This beer is really comparable to a bottle of very good Burgundy wine.
I don't know any equivalent to this beverage... ^^

Unfortunately I know nothing about beers, since I do not enjoy the taste of it.
However, I know a couple of small brewers companies in upper Manhattan.

A votre santé !

Intéressant ! Je ne ne la connaissais pas.
Je vais essayer de m'en procurer pour tester.

C'est le genre de bière " de Noël " qui ne sort qu'en cette saison...
Attention : c'est une brune, et elle est très amère.

Passer tout l'Hiver terré dans une vieille cave c'est pas folichon.
Du coup, quand la dite cave est bien garnie... pourquoi s'en priver ?
Allez, zou ! Je m'en ressers un petit verre pour la route...

Héééé bella composisionne Alphonse ... ca vaudrai le coup d'ajouter de la couleur ... beau travail

Grazie.
Je dois reconnaître que j'avais eu la flemme de le mettre en couleur.
C'est vrai qu'un peu plus de rouge ne nous ferait pas de mal...

Nothing like a glass of wine to make the weekend go smoothly I suppose. X3
