Belgian Dubbel
Konigs hoeven Dubbel Trappist Ale

Origin: Netherlands / ABV: 7%
Belgian Pale Ale
Orval Trappist Ale
It's a brilliant, dusky gold beer with a towering, lively head of foam that lasts and lasts. The nose is spicy with an aroma of ripe pears and hints of apples. Dominant taste is hoppy and dry with exquisite undertones -- maybe even a touch of old leather.
Origin: Belgium / ABV: 6.9%

Origin: Belgium / ABV: 11.3%
Konigs hoeven Quadrupple Trappist Ale
A deep amber beer with a rich, warming flavor. Full-bodied and mild, slightly sweet and just a hint of bitterness round out the palate. In the nose you will detect fruit, a faint, pleasant yeastiness and just a touch of resiny hops. Although Quadrupel is delicious when consumed fresh, it can benefit from years of aging in a cool, dark place. The flavor of aged Quadrupel is reminiscent of port.

Delerium Nocturnum
It is a triple fermentation ale using 3 different yeast strains and 5 different malts. Incredibly well-balanced for ale this high in alcohol, the bouquet has an aromatic sweetness. The body is bursting with flavors of raisins, bittersweet chocolate, and aniseed. The finish is long and develops into a hoppy aftertaste.
Origin: Belgium / ABV: 8.5%
Westmalle Trappist Tripel
A cloudy gold. Quite dry with great depth and complexity. At a tasting last year, one taster said, "I swear I'm tasting mussels with butter."
Origin: Belgium / ABV: 9.5%
Konigs Hoeven Tripple Trappist Ale
A rich, brassy golden in color and sporting a slightly off-white foam, Koningshoeven Tripel is the hoppiest of the Koningshoeven range, displaying a beautiful balance of hoppy bitterness and full malt flavor.

A smooth, fruity, well-balanced beer with year-round appeal. A variety of caramel malts impart a rich flavor and amber color, while liberal use of whole hops adds zest and aroma.Hoppiness can cut through greasy, fatty or mouth-coating foods, it can also compliment vinegar-based dishes, or seafood dishes; can enhance heavily spiced dishes. Flavor hooks: flowery spices. Pair with fried foods such as chicken wings.

Grinders West is seeking 20 local artists for the second round of shadowbox tables. (If you haven't seen the first tables, please stop by & check them out: 415 E 18th St. KCMO -- this will give you an idea of what we are looking for.) If you would like to be considered for a table, please email us with your contact info & pics/links to your portfolio. Chosen artists will be notified by January 5th to pick up a blank table. As far as subject matter -- almost anything goes -- but keep in mind, these are tables for a restaurant --- also they are shadowboxes not just frames, so flat photography/artwork tends to look, well, flat. Any questions, comments, concerns, let us know. Thanks. 816-471-3618 Email us: grinderspizza @gmail.com
