Beavertown Smog Rocket in a tin, don't know why the Dev is grinning, it's making him redundant!

This is a bit dull, I recall the bottles version being much more robust.
I'm still boycotting tins and Thornbridge ( and Barclays Bank and the local post office)

Oudbeitje from Hanssens. A super-mouth-puckering lambic with strawberries. Not that fruity - just a subtle hint in the finish.

A question for the Belgian correspondents, or those who have been to the Tour of Flanders, or who are just very clever - I am imagining that will result in @Crackle having to sit this one out 
.
I (and maybe a few others) am thinking of making the journey over to watch the Tour of Flanders in 2015 and looking for a bit of advice re where to stay - any suggestions? Looking at the website (which is very good on detail re fan villages and shuttles being available) I am none the wiser as to where best to stay. It might seem obvious that Oudenaarde would be the best option, but I have no idea - probably arriving on the Friday and leaving on the Monday.

You can't go wrong with Oudenaarde. It's about 15/20km from the Paterberg and Oude Kwaremont where the big spectator places are now. The last part is run like a crit so you seethe riders pass three times I think.
I've decided to pass on the Flanders sportief this year. Amstel and LBL for me.
You really can't beat Flanders for the atmos though. You'll love it!

Cheers DP. I have no intention of riding a sportive, just a weekend away, a few beers, and watching the race.
Do you know if there is a Belgian hostel organisation? I'm not after paying top euro for accommodation; I'd rather spend it on beer

5yr old Hell and Damnation from DeMo. Brewed on their old kit back in the days when they numbered every bottle and sealed them with wax. Just fantastic. Super thick, black and oily-looking with a long chocolate finish. Stupendous!
