Beer?

[nickyboy]

Yeah 7 quid a pint it must be HK! Have you been to that little bar on Cheung Chau that does all the Belgian ales? stumbled across it on a visit last year and had far too many.

HK$50 happy hour so that's about £5 post brexit. It was in a swanky development in Kowloon so pricing was OK. I know the bar you're on about but have never been. To be honest, the locals are coming up with some good stuff these days and there are a few bars in Kowloon and HK Island that carry quite a range

This place is as good as any but, as you say, the pricing can be a bit steep unless you can get a happy hour deal

An interesting stat in one of the other posts on that blog..

"Even within craft, the top six percent of breweries make 84% of the beer...."

(I assume this is in the US)

Pre 6 pm snifters. Arbor Yakima valley. Effing lovely start to the weekend.
As an aside, I'm raging a draught blood about a likeable Yankee dude cycling across the U.S. who thought that Yakima was one of the most miserable, small-minded, sullen places he'd ever stayed in. Carry on.

Oooh, I assumed that would swearfilter to peanut. Which would have been a meme like gag.
I'm actually not sure what a meme is but don't feel obliged to educate me.

I refuse to post a pic of it but am currently drinking this very nice stuff:

http://www.pilgrim.co.uk/ourbeers/SeasonalBeers.aspx

the last one in the list

in my local wondrous Spoons - so it has travelled all the way from Reigate to South London.

The label was a bit fuzzy (printed from the internet) so I was a bit doubtful and even an ex detective couldn't read it.

So I felt kinda tipsy before I'd tasted a drop.

Nice folks that they are, they let me taste it (try that in a trendy London bar) and things may soon look a bit fuzzy after all.

(Company I've applied to is just outside Gent in the Oudenaarde direction!)

Please let Belgium know that I'll be there (in Gent and Oudenaarde) for the Tour of Flanders this year, should they wish to see what a splendid chap I really am

Flights booked, now to find a hotel...

I'd sit tight pal or you'll be coming home disappointed.
