Beer?

[smutchin]

I've heard it said that lambic/gueuze is an acquired taste. I don't agree - I loved it from the first sip. If you don't like it, there's no point banging your head against a wall to try to learn to like it - there are plenty of other very good beers out there that you can show off your beer snob credentials by enjoying.

That said, liking lambic is a sign of sophistication and maturity.

No way! It usually seems to be full of geriatrics.

How much had he had to drink when he had his phone "nicked"?

Continuing the German beer theme and whilst brewing up a curry, I opened....

Augustiner Edelstoff, which is bloody lovely. Another from the Augustiner brewery following on from the Dunkel. This is malty with a hoppy finish but light and easily drinkable. I have trouble with the fizziness of some beers but not this one.

Bloody lovely: Did I say that?

Not trying any more...

You can't fight time. Try or not as you might.

Oude Geuze Boon before the picture house.

That did slip down rather easily, worrying, well not really. I mean I'm not worried. So, onwards and downwards...

Tegernseer Hell, lighter than the Augustiner but similar, bit crisper.

You know what I like about German beers? 500ml bottles is what. I am quite shallow though.
