Beer?

Sore back so consoling myself with a few bottles of Bengal Lancer

ABInBev acquires Brouwerij Bosteels - Brewers of Kwak, Tripel Karmeliet and Deus.

Given their ubiquity in Belgium I'm surprised to discover Kwak and Tripel K weren't already part of a megacorp.

Oh no, don't bollocks up Kwak, the stuff is fantastic as it is.

Ysgawen is Welsh for Elderberry and Cwrw is for "your mother smells of" (I'm fluent)

This is nice and fruity and elderberry-y. My mate didn't like it but I do.

145,000hl so mid-size (up from 100,000hl in 3 years!)

7th generation family firm. There was a private equity investment in 2014, so I guess this latest development isn't entirely surprising.

Tripel Karmeliet too: my favourite tripel.

The Fridays tour through beer country starts at the end of week, and I gather the master brewer of Delft is meeting up with us. Expect some careful and in-depth reviews of complex ales over the next 19 pages.

I don't think I'll be able to come out and play this weekend unfortunately.

Happy touring to all the beer thread boozers!

Boo.
Will you leave a cache of bottles and send us a secret message to let us know where they are?

I was idly wondering if we'd get to 1000 pages by Christmas, given that we're on 981 now.
However, it's only taken two and a bit weeks for the last 19, so I think we should all be slightly ashamed

I've been busy drinking beer, and visiting the Black Boy in Caernarfon, plus Tweedies in Grasmere...churs!

Bought from Aldi today ....

Very nice & only £1.25 ;-)

It's Friday and I'm pooped.
Off to the local poncey bar in a mo for a swiftie. Pix to follow.

La belle Claudine made me drink some elderflower beer in Welsh Wales once. She may know if it was the same species of sambucus....
