Yeah, it only took me a few minutes, but it's stil a pain.
What text editor do you use? I'm a big fan of TextPad.
Interestingly, I picked the same date format you did, Maaher, but looking at the data, iI suspect that this is MM/DD/YYYY format.
More interestingly, it doesn't make any difference to the final results.

I think that's a great idea!
As the Romans said, 'Festinate ad tabernum'
I shall have to look out some Duvel, given the reviws it's getting round here.

On occassion, I like a pint of Auld Jock (Not many places you can get it tho') and you can't beat a good pint of Caffreys. Guiness would have to be another 'occassional' favourite if in the right pub (Jinty McGinty's) in Glasgow's West End.

I'm more of a bitter man myelf.
Batemans brewery make a range of particularly drinkable beers, including XXXB.
Theakstons Old Peculier is very welcome on a cold winters evening.
Leffe Dark is very nice, but I'd prefer the Blonde in summer.
I'll also willingly drink anything that Sam Smiths make (all brewed 25 minutes away from home)

An interesting beer problem is finding a good chick-beer: a packaged beer I can buy for my wife (that she will drink) so that it doesn't appear I am monopolising the drinks fridge with my Cascade and Coopers Pale Ale.
My best win was Red Back Light (2.5% Wheat beer - like soft-drink) but it's hard to get outside of Perth now.
Lately I've had success with Sol from Mexico. Again, tastes nothing like beer, but that's not the point.

My girlfriend used to drink an occasional Gordon Finest Gold. Now she can appreciate a Leffe Dark or a Kriek (Lindemans).

Girlfriend who drinks dark ales. Marriage material, that one.

I had some succes with the Belgian Trappist fruit beers, but the problem with those is that they are quite ruinously strong

Or any of those Witbiers. Hoegaarden/St.Bernadus have low ABV.

Now I'm scared. Hoegaarden over here is a healthy 5% abv.
If that's low where you come from, then I'm not getting into a drinking match ith you!!!

The last one (Kasteelbier) is extremely dangerous: it is very sweet but all of the sudden it strikes.

Ah, just like Grolsch Kanon can.
But also La Chouffe does that to me, even though it is only 8%

In generic terms, anything less than 5% would be a session beer (Ofcourse, it depends on the person. This whole thingy is an acquired taste).
As Frank/Maaher said, almost all the good strong belgians are around 8-12% and are very deceptive.
There are many many good (and my staple) ales that are above 8%.
Like those American barlewines(bigfoot,old horizontal), Imperial stouts and IPA's. The best i have tried (that are high ABV and very drinkable and consistent) are from Stone,dogfish,ommegang(duvel),allagash etc.
Dogfish (http://www.dogfish.com/) has some very impressive brews.
Like the 120 min IPA is 20% abv, 90 min ipa is around 9% ( and very drinkable.My staple IPA).
And speaking of extreme beers, it would be unfair if i would not mention the Sam Adam's Utopias/millennium series (my local brewery).
These handcrafted ales are around 25% abv and claimed to be world's strongest.

Can you actually ferment up to 25%? I thought it topped out in the high teens and then you had to fortify/distill. If so, it aint a beer.

"Conditioned"? Hmmmmm......
Friday tomorrow. Think I might go to the pub and get myself mightily conditioned.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm currently working at Fosters Australia. And yes, we do have a free bar on-site.

2 cans per man per day
Just kidding. All you can drink, 5pm-7pm Thu-Fri.
And they're served by the Grid-Girls on the Friday before the GP.

Sad news is that Fosters have dropped the F1GP, so no more Grid Girls (sob) in the office.
The funny thing about it is that no-one drinks Fosters Lager in Australia - it is almost exclusively an export beer. You almost can't get it on-tap in this country (except in backpacker bars), and I don't remember seeing anyone drink one since the 1970's.
New conversation: what's your favourite "Travel Beer"? The non-export foreign beer you drink on holidays, and stuff into your backpack because you can't get it at home.
Mine is Mac's Gold from New Zealand - a rich golden malty lager. A pleasant change from hoppy lagers, and easier on the stomach than the meal-in-a-can English/Irish ales.

It is indeed one of the best but I've seen several people taken by surprise. It is a lot heavier than one would suspect...
. And Fosters is one among few i tried.
