Webbing part 2


Well the Westmalle Tripel was worth the effort but I did not have the proper glass.  I needed a chalice like you see to the right.  Which as I am finding is very important to the experience.   Unfortunately this link is about all I can find about the glasses themselves.

I may need to dig somewhere other than the web because the subject of the glasses is not really as deep as the information on Belgian Beer itself.   The glassware is what grabbed my interest but I find it fascinating that the Belgians produce so many different types of beer.  

Unfortunately, I am finding I cannot really verify the validity of the websites I am using.  Wikipedia had a little info and several resources listed to try.  But some of the other websites I've found, I cannot tell who authored them, so I am hesistant to use them or need to find other places to back what they are saying.  Authority on the web is a concern for me.  My first professor in Grad school was keen on Wikipedia, I have always been a doubter.  I am warming to it, but hesitant.   But now that I am more in tune to things like the resources at the bottom, I am more willing to visit a wikipedia page and do some browsing.  

Not quite ready to move to Wiggling.  But a few more questions came up in this stage:  Why do they brew beer in a monastery?  Why is there a Paton Saint of Brewing?
