Kasteel is a blonde beer that has all kinds of fruity / nutty / clovey flavors and packs a punch at 11%abv. It is brewed in Ingelmunster, Belgium ina castle that dates back to 1075. The castle was built on the ruins of a monastery inhabited by English monks in 640. They only started brewing in the castle in 1986, but the brewery dates back to 1900.
The thing I found most interesting about the brewery is that it's only a couple miles from the home-towns of both of my great-grandparents, Meulebeke and Oostrozebeke. Seeing as how I probably have distant relatives who drink the stuff on a regular basis, I am definately going ot have to give it a try. Check out their website!

I have the same desk calender for work! Today's Beer (Jan 24) Obolon Porter? Is that correct? I have started to save the days (beers) that I want to try.
Yup, same exact one!!!
According to the Obolon Porter beer fact -> we need to start drinking at 10am to get the most out of our beer.
I saw that fun fact and thought the same. Well, if that is what is says...
I feel left out. I need to get said calendar. It is my quest.
