Beer?

Discovered Hoegaarden quite recently. Yum yum, where have you been all my life you naughty Belgian thing. Wish it wasn't so expensive though.

Nice one - you should have avoided getting your picture spread all over the internet though

I used to think white beers tasted off, I can't get enough now.

I want one of those.

And here's another one of me at lunchtime

I know, I didn't use to be a fan either. I'm still a bit fussy now, I tried a German one the other day but it wasn't a patch on the Hoegaarden.

When I lived in Belgium I was introduced to Hoegaarden (amongst other things) by an ex-paratrooper; it was as cheap as chips (or should that be frites) and I used to buy it by the crate from the supermarket.

Thanks to the craft brewing concern that is Anheuser-Busch InBev, it has had the "premium brand" makeover and is now "reassuringly expensive".

I bought a craft brewed wheat beer in the Dove (ippo) and was shocked it cost just under a fiver!

Ok, I've tried the darkstar 6hop and it's really rather good! My problem with over hopped beers is the extreme astringency they have (think wil-e-coyote eating the acme alum). There was none Of that here, still a grapefruity/apricotty taste but smooth and rounded. Will definitely drink again.

And now the wolf brewery stout, ridiculously smooth, I could drink this all night and not get bored.

Beer on a Monday and a Tuesday? You live the life!

Just the one, I'm not going mental. Although last night I *really* had the taste for it.

ceepeebee, I suspect a "ten malt porter" would be up your street, yes?

@bottle_shop: These @SWBrewery beers look damn pretty and taste damn fine. http://t.co/s9EdYbfa

Chewing my way through a Hercules DIPA from Great Divide; a 10%, 85 IBU beast!

Absolutely, that's definitely the sort of thing I'm after. May have to take that detour to Canterbury after whitstable.

And thanks for the tip!
