Your Beer of the week (7 Viewers)

[JockandRita]

Good evening gents (and any beer loving ladies out there).

If you like your Leffe Blonde, I am finishing off the last of this wee number I picked up from Lidl at Cite Europe, which is a close contender and reasonably priced. Very nice indeed.

It came as a 6 x pack of stubbies, although other size bottles may be available.

Cheers

Jock.

Thanks for the info Ralph.

Because I had not come across it before, I thought perhaps it was brewed specifically for Lidl. Obviously not, as I now know.

Cheers

Jock.

 

[Ralph-Dot]

[Ralph-Dot]

Leffe is worth the full price but on offer is fantastic

A little gem I found

 

[JockandRita]

Here's a little gem I too found in Lidl's, but not in the beer section.

It is on a par with my Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild, ie, excellent, moreish, and pleasantly deceiving. It is not a stout, but more a strong dark ale.

Cheers,

Jock.

If you are currently in France Lidl has a beer week the week before last so there is a lot of reduced stock currently in some stores. Certainly Calais has good selection last Friday. Brasserie Mont Blanc & Brasserie Meteor are good and plenty of Belgium beers too.

Ralph, the Brown Ale and the Porter would have been my choices.

Glad that you enjoyed your day out at the brewery.

Cheers,

Jock.

Currently in my homeland, where compared to South of the border, cask ales can be a bit of a rarity.
I am on

at the moment, which suits my sweeter palate, and is definitely better than the Belhaven Best and McEwan's 70/- I have had to consume.

Cheers

Jock.

Ralph, I really liked the description of some of the beers listed from your Roundhill Brewery trip.

Cheers

[Ralph-Dot]

Yes it was good

 

[JockandRita]

We had an ale on at our local called, Raisins to be fearful.

It was a fruity smokey ale, and on the initial taste, I wasn't overly taken by it but after the third sip, I was hooked.
It was one of those very pleasantly satisfying ales, with a slight sweetness that I like.................................but boy was it deceptive, ie, although not a strong flavoured ale, it clearly had a kick. (Yes, I know, the clue was clearly visible in the ABV ).
The barrel didn't last long, which wasn't in any way attributed to my paltry 1.5 pints consumption of it. I just new that to have consumed more, would have landed me in some bother.

Cheers,

Jock.
