Pint of flowers please, best bitter ever.
Cheers Del.

Had one of these the other day, very nice, very refreshing - they only had 3 though, wonder if there's any left?

You're right DP, it is complete and utter twaddle - worth ignoring though as the beer's quite good!

Westmalle Tripel - I'd only got a big bottle in stock so I'm having to suffer the whole lot.

Just spent an enjoyable evening with Stephenite drinking Ringnes draught pilsner

shoot beer, but Tottenham won and Chelski didn't!

Cheers, Stephen, I look forward to next weekend!

Slogged my nuts off through torrential rain in a sportief today. Thankfully, it finished 30m from the front door of amsterdam's best beershop. Just enjoyed Black Damnation II from De Struise - a 13% imperial stout which seems to be a blend of various other beers matured on coffee.

The big bottles are supposed to taste better than the smaller ones!

Good work on the sportief DP, the beer shop is Bierkoning, yes?

It was good but I'd have to do a Pepsi challenge with both sized bottles though to confirm. Why not...

 

[threebikesmcginty]

So now you're out of intensive and off the nil by mouth, what are the first impressions?

Not sure, best try again....


Nee nah nee nah

Yep! I don't work in Amsterdam anymore, so don't get there very often.

Looking forward to the weekend - a local(ish) brewery is hosting its annual beerfestival..

http://www.brouwerijdemolen.nl/index.php/nl/bierfestival/brouwers-en-bieren.html

Three breweries from England this year. Marble were there last year (v nice beers), but looking forward to trying the Kernel's brews. They seem to be getting rave reviews right now.

Don't know them at all, the Centennial India pale ales (on their site) look very interesting. And the Export Porter and Stout. And the Imperial. Must hunt them down. There's a whole load of scrummy sounding beer at the festival, be interested to hear how you get on - don't attempt everything!

Rats! found out where to buy it online - could will be expensive...

Imagine - taking the finest beer, adding handfuls of the freshest, most flavoursome hops, and mixing them in a bucket with industrial strength ethyl alcohol and a bottle of Lenor...

Val Dieu - Grand Cru last night

Not bad, but Chimay "blue label" is probably a better bet.
