Nice glasses . . . My father would have been about 73 (I'm 50). I was first exposed to both Chimay (spelled correctly this time) and Shiner Bock while I was working at the University of Texas at Austin. Shiner started appearing in the local supermarkets about 10 years ago and I was pleased to discover the beer seemed as good as I remembered it. The Chimay is imported in 750 ml bottles by a local specialty store, Washington St. Purveyors, who will go and get just about anything you want.
I have a cold bottle of Chimay in the fridge now . . . Maybe tonight is good time to change that ;-) >>> "Bob W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/19/08 2:41 PM >>> You'll be needing some new glasses then... http://www.belgianbeerglasses.com/ I don't know how old you are, or what generation your Dad is from, but over here it wasn't really until the 70s that the good beer movement really starting going. For the previous generation the choices seem to have been strictly limited. I have fond memories of the beers my Dad used to drink because of course they were the first ones I drank, even though I generally wouldn't choose them now. We lived the colonial poolside life in Singapore in the mid-60s, and my Dad drank cold Heineken, Carlsberg and Tuborg from very tall conical glasses. Sipping from them was how we developed a taste for beer as kids.
