How's the no beer in the week regime going, DP?

Excellent - me and mrs DP are off to the pub tonight on the tandem!

[QUOTE 2178927, member: 259"]Good luck - De Bierkoning gets rammed at the weekend!

I'l give Moeder Lambic in Brussels a try - thanks for the heads up![/quote]

Arse! Finally read the blurb properly - you apparently had to sign up since they don't get very much - I think it's too late now. Oh well, roll on 2013. Good luck in Brussels, I've always wanted to pay Moeder Lambic a visit.

Don't know how close you are to Brussels, but this is quite a nice little village pub just to the SW, although it only opens on Sundays..

They're running a lambic tasting day a week on Saturday!

Well, the local had a vintage barrel from 2011 on last night, don't where they found it, it had '5.5%+' on the tap but my noggin tells me it was more than that.

In that case, NO SHOUTING - 3BM's FEELING A BIT DELICATE!

A couple French beers tonight from brasserie du mont saleve (to be honest i thought they were belgian, but hey ho).

First up, sorachi ace single- hopped bitter. Horrible - should have known better. I'm not going to bother again with anything made with sorachi ace. It's not clear to me that anything nice can be made with this hop.

Second, their India Pale Ale. ok, but nothing memorable.

These were pretty expensive beers, so i can't see myself revisiting them. Did have a very nice Dutch IPA last night made with tomahawk from the Wet Goat Brewery so I'll stock up on that instead.

I have not had a beer for a couple of weeks, what's wrong with me.

On a little or no choice, kind of evening last night, I found an Italian beer that actually tasted of something...

Blimey rich; Italian, beer and taste in the same sentence without the words f**king and horrible!

Si si, but it was Hobsonio's Choice - Menabrea or Peroni and I took one for the team.

Just found some fullers vintage ale 2008 lurking in the garage, pop the top off one of them in a bit...yumtus!

I haven't found a single beer I've liked made with Sorachi Ace either DP - horrible stuff.

Snuck out for a couple of pints (for me, Apple juice for him) with the boy this afternoon.

One of them was a Smelters Stout from Kissingate, absolutely cracking beer - real meal in a glass stuff

Some festive cheer with an Insanely Bad Elf!
