Beer?

[User169]

Got given one of these the other day - might have it on stand-by to wash the taste of DP's 'unrecommendation' away.

Is it any good?

It's a while since I've tried it, but it's pretty good I think. It used to be NL's strongest beer, but Grolsch canon is 11.5 and the smaller brewers now make some fairly pokey stuff. They sell Grand Prestige in the supermarket so I'll pick up a bottle on the way home and give it a go.

Don't give up on the Maredsous; I think the style threw me. It says it's a triple and I was expecting something else. It is after all made at Moortgat who are generally extremely excellent.

Tesco's are selling an "American IPA" with an ABV of 9.0%

Tasty!

Sounds good. I like American IPAs, especially when they use Amarillo hops.

Mad Goose pale ale - a very fine ale, highly recommended.

Am I on my own in here? Hello, beer...popular beverage...

Prefer a bit of UBU myself, but it's marginal.

Afternoon off work DP, if a chap can't have a glass of ale when the week's toil is over...

Currently enjoying some Tuborg Christmas beer; it has more of a bitter/real ale taste!

Cheers everyone.

Gf is on the work's xmas do so I'm currently enjoying Budvar (at £2.60 a can!)



Bah humbug, Dayvo, it's too early to start on the jule øl.

Having said that i have already opened a bottle of 'julemust'. Well, i needed something to wash down the vodka with, ok.

Just opened a 750ml bottle - ruddy norah!

Mort, unlike gutsy DP's bucket of the stuff I only had a 300ml bottle, barely enough to wet the inside of a glass - lovely stuff though, strong but not drowned in alcohol. I say go for it, esp if there's an offer!

Got a 'Criminally Bad Elf' beer for later - looks like the unruly cousin of the chuoffe gnome...

Dandelion and Mad Goose in the fridge for tonight. Must get them out soon to get them a bit warmer for drinking.

Some Porter from Burton bridge ready to be drunk next, but have to wait for Sunday.
