Anyway welcome to the club :D
In your signature do you have a "Kwak" glass. The wooden stand with the glass type thing. Belgian beer glass. Anyways, when I was in Belgium over a year ago, I went into a store called "Beer Mania" which had over 400 types of Belgian beer, and you got to choose which one you want, and sit down in a back room where they put it in the beer glass.
Hahaha, as you noticed I AM from Belgium, so you aren't teaching me a lot... Nothing in fact but nice that you know that :P
In fact, I'm doing a presentation for a class about Kwak in two weeks :D Did you know the glass was invented by Pauwel Kwak. Back in the time, the coachmen weren't allowed to leave their coach, so Pauwel invented a glass that would fit into the wooden stand that would be built onto the coach. And voila! The coachmen were also able to enjoy a good beer while riding!
I bought a Kwak glass because I thought it was totally awesome, but had about half a year later Wal-Mart had similar glasses, I think I started the trend haha. Pretty sure if I was living in Belgium i'd be a raging alcoholic.
I love it.
I live in Belgium and honestly, most of my friends and myself are kind of alcoholic. Because we always drink a lot of beer. Yes. Obviously.

Haha, you are from Belgium. Lucky! Although you Have Duvel on your page and I remember not being terribly fond of it.
Haha! About what you said with that store with 400 beers, that's not too exceptional here. In the nearest city there is a pub that works like that and has 600 beers. In Brussels, there is the Delirium Cafe, with over 2,000 beers to taste. That's the world record by the way. But the Delirium Cafe also presents foreign beers while the near pub doesn't. And the atmosphere is way more "beer" in the near one too. :D
BEER BEER
