Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Club 007 Pour Elle, la première boisson créée par l'homme. Very malty beer, c'est OK. Une bird est sur le label avec les chaussures high heels.

Cocoa Psycho - first one I've seen in the new livery - always impressed by the color of the head on this one. So damn appetizing to look at!

Congratulations @rich p and to all your family.

To celebrate I have put together a collection of my beer caps from consumed ales this year so far, and even made a little plain-cap flower in the corner*...all surrounding my Back:N:Black CD/DVD which arrived in the post today

*you can see I do try to maintain proper cappage standards, but the Tesco IPA by Brewdog is bloody good, hence the 5 black caps; I'm not sure what the gold and red caps came from but I think they were part of a Scottish beer festival at Aldi purchase.

You need to get your membership form in, @Marmion http://www.bottlecapclub.org/

You might have a way to go to match these lads though; http://www.beercaps.co.uk/UK_Tops.html

78 caps in 5 months is 3.6 bottles per week. Either you've lost a load or you're not trying hard enough

That seems about right, I do also drink wine. Would you like to see my wine cap/cork collection?

Page 24 was the last one of the eve, another malty effort, I did start to detect some other flavour after a few glugs, coffee type stuff but mainly malt. At 7.9% it was like a stronger up-market Pelforth Brune if you know what I mean. None of them so far have had any real body to them. Long way to go before they move in on others.

We managed 3 before the sleep overtook us after a 30km Dutch headwind.... Organic saison dupont was as great as ever, an augustijn blonde was pretty decent (amazing colour, but standard) and we were pretty amazed to find de molen op & top in an albert heijn, love that stuff so much. Dinner at de molen tonight should be ideal to numb the senses before tomorrow's headwind-fest. 40 odd km into gale force winds. Don't know if @delftsepost knows any more sheltered routes from zoetermeer to hoek? Thing is, coastal route is where the pretty is (also the pavilion cafe which is my now-traditional last stop for a bottle of Palm and a plate of bitterballen)

I rather like that noire de slack or whatever it's called that you got. But then I am a sucker for those NE France malty things.

I think any route, you'll likely have wind, so stick with what you know.

The supermarket things quite new. They started last year with Punk IPA and Anchor IPA. Presumably it went well, as they've all started selling a wider range this year.

De Molen has just signed a distribution deal with La Trappe, so I think we'll start seeing their brews much more widely available.

I love this one. Not too strong. Starts off citrus/tropical,but has a grassy finish which sneaks up on you. Just the best artwork too.

I'd buy that just for the pic on the tin.

Agreed! If it comes bottled, I'm buying one to steam the label off

I trust it's not being drunk straight from the tin *shudder*

I can't bring myself to do that, although the purists say that pouring into a glass loses some of the flavor!
