I love the stuff - I was given a pub crawl around Brussels by a absolute beer nut about a year ago - he brought me to a bar that serves nothing but Kwak- it was simply spectacular !
I presume you all know the story of the glass and the stagecoach drivers.
I suppose the story of kwak simply re-enforces what Dr Lyons was preaching - for a beer to be good - it needs a good story !

One of my favourite beers

I know you're waiting for this, but no - I don't know the story!

All the talk of Kwak has me wanting you take off a shoe.

Basically coachmen used to bring the gentry to the pub or on a night out, they were not allowed to leave the stage coach unattended - so as the drivers waited - the coachman would have a kwak. The glass fitted perfectly into the wooden 'whip holder' on the top of the stage coach.


Its a nice story -
