Beer?

[No Ta Doctor]

Ah , Copenhagen, not a place to go drinking, for those who can get access to Cask ales , there are considerably better beers than 'G', even Guinness bottle a far superior product than the nitro keg, Guinness West Indian Export, if you can find it you may change your preference.

I think Guinness draught is treated a little harshly as it's a large global brewer. It's one of my favourite session beers and what it does it does very well. I don't need it to be stronger, maltier, more bitter, richer, darker or anything. I enjoy it as a creamy, smooth, sensible alcohol level stout that doesn't bloat me with C02, tastes good and slips down easily. I've not yet found anything else that can quite fit that role - neither her in DK nor back in the UK.

A couple from yesterday...
London Black nitro porter from Anspach & Hobday and Orval
If I remember correctly, Bayreuther Hell - a Helles lager from Bayreuther, a De Ranke Noir de Dottignies and a Westmalle Tripel may also have been involved.

The Belge have a very rich brewing heritage, had this idea to ride through Belgium, but I doubt I'd get out sober !

I tried it once ... Didn't get far 😂

Nearly every Belgian bottled beer comes with a particular shaped glass for the brewery or even brew,
The Belge are so anal about beers, they even brew to cook with, not just drink !
I would and could get very deep into Belgian beers, but sadly I have to moderate my drinking, not that I am an ally. Just have a health condition that precludes consumption.

Had a nice Irish stout yesterday called Shandons

I rarely drink lager but this Helles style one from Anspach and Hobday is good for that post fish and chips thirst.

I like a nice Helles.

Kolsh is good too, Morrison's have one from Fruhh, at least I think that's how it's spelt, that always goes down a treat.

Up in East Kilbride this week so I've stocked up on my favourite Williams Bros Double Joker.

I also found this in Lidl, it's got a nice bitter kick to it.

The only downside to the trip was going into the pub at the Premier Inn and being told that they only had Peroni and Madri on draught, then when I got my bill finding out that Madri was £5.85 a pint.

A light lunch at my favourite Belgian charcuterie included this. Not shown: the Chimay Dorée, Duvel, Westmalle Dubbel and a hoppy pils that I can't remember the name of
