Beer?

[User169]

I'm getting a taste for this stuff, although at 9.0% and 3 bottles for 4quid I'm wondering if the White Lightening brigade is too - it's completely sold out in our local!

I saw something a few days ago that there are plans to tax beer over 7.5% at a higher rate. Maybe that will help!

Er, why are people in this thread still discussing Euro-fizz when the title is BEER?

How did you get on with the Hertog Jan, DP?

That's If you're still with us after 750ml of the stuff...

Just downed another one - very agreeable.

Felt a bit ropey this morning; missed my train stop and ended up in Amsterdam. Could have been worse - I sometimes catch a train which fetches up somewhere in Poland.

Oops! still look on the bright side, you can pop into De Bierkoning while you're in town.

Just signed up for this extravaganza:

The resulting beer will be ready some time next year.

That looks really good. I'm quite jealous.

Ah, I used to have one of those occasionally in the Old Wooden Doll on the North Shields fishquay... very, very nice, although I have to say, the St Ambroise Oatmeal Stout from Montreal is a very good replacement this side of the Atlantic. Young's version isn't bad either.

Now I know why your forum name is Amnesia....

Great ale, I've just brewed my xmas beer for this year, hopefully will turn out about 10% and dark, plenty of roasted barley in there!

Well, it didn't turn out as strong as I thought it might, about 7.5%.

However, I had to crack one open (for QA purposes you understand).

It's got a real deep ruby red colour, lovely and warming with a kind of port aftertaste. My patience has paid off, and the rest can wait until xmas.
