  • Rodenbach Grand Cru is one of the finest beers I have drunk over there.

    The Trappist beers are amazing. Afterwards you'll wish you could Chimay like my Sixtus 8!

    OMG I love Belgian beer! There's just so many!

    There's a little pub in Bruge called something like the bear in or little bear, they have hundreds of different beers.

    Can't help thinking of that weird film whenever I mention Bruge now :?

    Have too many dark trappist beers and you'll get the sh*ts the next day. Best to limit them and have some lighter wheat or hops ones

    Belgian beer hhmmmmmmmmm :D:D:D
  • Pete - Het Brugs Beertje. Fantastic range of beers!

    We watched 'In Bruges', the other night, I spent the whole film salivating over the beer, and saying to Wifey:-

    'No it's Bruges, if it was Prague the film would have a different name, the clue is in the title'.
  • Belgique! :lol:

    Had a quick skim over that but couldn't see what it has to do with a cheap beer available in Asda.......

    Ah.

    I just thought you were giving the French name for Belgium...

    Still though. Flandrians probably wouldn't take too kindly to the asda 'Belgian' beer being given the French name...

    Nope, unfortunately cheap beer is just about my intellectual limit.

    Has anyone mentioned Faro Lambic by Lindemans yet?

    Drove over to Liege today and thought I'd try it - very nice! It's like a mix of bitter, cider and champagne. Bottle fermented with a lid and a cork! Quite sweet, so probably not to everyone's taste, but worth a try. Only 4.2% as well so you can drink more than two bottles and still be able to stand up....
