Beer?

I want to order a mixed case of Belgian/craft beers for Christmas. Any recommendations of who to use?

Exactly what's on my xmas list!
I reckon that local specialists are good, I found one in Exeter in the last couple of months and have treated myself. I'm going to try and promote these over online such as beerhawk just because they are local!

I like to shop locally if I can too-I've got the Ambleside Wine Shop and Chapel Stile Village Stores which both carry a pretty decent selection of beers.

Nice part of the world.. haven't been up that way for a couple of years.. last time it took an 8 hour drive of which 7 were with a crying baby . There are some great micro pubs around there as well from what I can remember.

I had looked there but it makes sense, I think, to buy a selection of my choice from them really.
I'll probably take a punt on some new ones and there'll inevitably be a few turkeys...

A gentle intro to the weekend - Nogne's Holiday Ale. Brewed with white sage, carraway and juniper berries. Pleasant enough, although at only 8.5% it feels a bit underpowered for a Christmas beer.

Don't tell your mate, DP, but I've just found a Vedett that is even more ordinary than the other one...

Not sure they thought that one through!

On the off chance you haven't had them before, beermerchants have some brews from Rulles, de la Senne and Troubadour. Nothing spectacular - just decent brews and all worth a try.

I see you are noting Xmas menu ideas. There might have been salted almonds involved a few minutes earlier...
