Beer?

[srw]

Funnily enough, I was in a Thai place last week just outside Gent and they had Westmalle on tap. Didn’t check out the bottles as it was lunch.

That 7 deugden number was in a Malaysian restaurant in Amsterdam. Only GYP on tap, but a decent range of bottles.

So, Sweden's Omnipollo got together with Buxton Brewery and came up with with a KKK packaged Yellow Belly. Along came a brewery, Bateman's, with a beer called Yella Belly Gold who won a cease and desist case. So they've come up with a " CEASED AND DESISTED FINAL BATCH" goodbye. Tasty peanut and biscuit Imperial stout. 11% of folly in a bottle,

Bateman’s side of the saga for balance...

I’m going with Bateman’s on this one.

Omnipollo’s beers are horrible in any event and the text on the KKK beer basically says if you don’t like the beer you’re a racist. Kinda put me off Buxton.

The two accounts bear no resemblence so I'm discounting both. Nice beer though.

Bateman's version does seem to have the ring of authenticity to it. Buxton/Omnipollo are pretty savvy marketers so maybe they took this situation and twisted it to raise their profile even further....a quick Google about the disagreement hits the BBC news website for example

This is precisely the kind of wisdom I am looking for here.

You can still get 8 cans for £9 in Tesco which is a fab price for such a good beer

Not bad for a macro beer.
