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".

Barkeep, be a good fellow and fetch me a refill on this Kwak Pipe!

Kwak - definition

To get kwacked:
1) To overdose on something less than a beer can and a ciggarette, to the point where you need to be carried by your friends.

2) To have a moment where you have no perception of your surroundings and you need to rely on your mates to wake you up.

3) A feeling of satisfaction when your friends bail you out of an overdose.

1) "I know you want to try another beer, but I seriously don't want you getting kwacked again."

2) "Did I just kwak through the entire math class?"

3) "I wouldn't feel so kwacked if it wasn't for you guys."

Kwak - slang

A strong Belgian beer served up to you in a round-bottomed glass that doesn't sit on a table but in some kind of weird wooden contraption reminscent of something from a science lab from a rubbish school in Kirkby in the late 1970s.

After necking 10 Kwaks, I was fucking wallarseholed on it. I tried to get hold of some bird and made a right wallidiot of myself.
