Kwak (less commonly used full name "Pauwel Kwak") is a Belgian strong pale ale brewed by Brouwerij Bosteel in the town of Buggenhout, Belgium. Although a very good beer in its own right this particular Belgian ale is probably best known for its signature, branded glassware, which is a smaller version of a yard style glass complete with wooden stand. This type of drinking vessel was more traditionally known as a coachman's beer glass, reputedly designed to make it easier for drivers of horse-drawn carriages to be served beer while they were making stops along the road.
The "Kwak Pipe" is a roughly 10 inch high ensemble of branded Pauwel Kwak glass fitting into its also branded wooden stand with integrated handle, designed so that the glass, which is not stable on its own, can be handled within the wooden stand and holder.
The appearance of a Kwak served in its traditional glass at a bar is often a source of interest to other bargoers. It is not unusual for patrons seeing the glassware to pipe up with inquiries about the beer or orders for one of the same. The very signature glassware is what I personally refer to as a "Kwak Pipe".

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
