        <content>I noticed today the San Francisco Costco is now carrying a box of 18 beers labeled "Belgium's Best." What it is actually is a six-pack each of Stella Artois, Leffe Blond, and Hoegaarden's White Ale, all for $18.99</content>

      <content>If I was putting together that box I'd still include Hoegaarden, but the rest would be filled out with Grottenbier Bruin, Petrus Aged Pale, Gueuze Girardin, Fantome Saison, Rochefort 6, Piraat, and Chimay Cinq Cents.</content>

      <content>It is Belgium's best large production, easy to get beer that won't really challenge the palate.  That said, $1 a bottle does make it a reasonable deal.
Cheers</content>
