Belgian beer[edit]

Hi! Thanx for your work on the Belgian beer articles. You're doing a great job, keep up. Julien Tuerlinckx 20:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trappist beer[edit]

Hi again. I've just read your user page and saw that you were interested in the "holy beers". Just to say its nice to have someone more working on this topic as it was the subject of a kind of "war" between User:Cyril59 and myself. Please, read the relevant talk page before making major edits in the article. Thanx in advance, Julien Tuerlinckx 18:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A personal interest...[edit]

I have become somewhat of a Trappist ale nerd, as much as someone in Iowa can do. I can get Chimay and Achel pretty regularly, and some of the others occasionally. I understand that some of the monastaries would prefer that their beers are not sold outside Belgium. Which of them say this; I certainly want to respect it. Do you live in Belgium?

You're lucky to get Achel as it's actually the smallest of the Trappist breweries. The only brewery that doesn't like the resale of its beer is Westvleteren. It's not just not-sold-outside-belgium, but in fact only "allowed" to be sold at the monastery itself and the inn across the road. All other sales are grey market. Oh and I live in Holland, next door to Belgium. Riflemann 23:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beer cats & kittens[edit]

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson and supported by User:Syrthiss that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. This proposal has been supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Cheers[edit]

As a Trappist beer lover and former Utrecht resident myself, I wanted to extend my thanks for your work on the beer articles here in Wikipedia! I'm having a Blauwe Chimay in your honour as I write this, in fact. Dank u wel! LondonIce 04:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Achellogo.png[edit]

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Achellogo.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Fair use rationale for Image:Westvleteren-logo.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Westvleteren-logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:13, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Westvleteren beer photo[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your images; I used your photo of Westvleteren beer to illustrate an article for a nonprofit. The resulting story icon is online although I like the larger version better. The license remains the same, of course, although given Flickr's limitations I had to put that in a comment. Complex.confusion (talk) 16:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trappistes Rochefort 10[edit]

I was on Wiki finding information on the Rochefort brewery (as much is public anyway) and saw the image you posted with the three brews and the Rochefort glass. Is there any way, that you are aware of, for me to obtain one of those glasses for a personal collection of mine? Feel free to e-mail me an answer at wonderfundles@hotmail.com whereas i am utterly lost on how to navigate the wiki account i created to ask you this question.

Thank you for your consideration,
