Dustin's been making some solid beers for quite some time? I like Frame Straightener and Flat Earth Belgian Pale Ale... much better than Fat Tire. I'd put them both on or near the level of Ommegang Rare Vos, without the fancy glassware. :) Why shouldn’t the Brau Brothers influence anything?

The Straightener and the FE are very similar, as is the Fat Tire. Maybe this is a coincident and they all call themselves "Pale Ales," but whatever, I guess I just don't like them. Ommegang and Allegash are regulars in my Fridge, as are Duvel, Chimay, Koenings hoeven, Kwak, etc. I have a Triple and a Saison brewing right now, so I can say with a fair amount of confidence that the FE and Straightener are hardly representative of Belgian ales!

You've got to really try the true Begians before you write off the style, or the great American interpreters like Ommegang or Allegash. cheers, al I wasn’t all that crazy about Frame Straightener.

Just a personal note I suppose. Try a few more breweries before writing Belgians off - maybe try La Fin Du Mond, you might be pleasantly surprised! Don’t let any Brau Brothers influence anything.
