Beer?

[glasgowcyclist]

Had a few bottles of Lidl's Perlenbacher recently which were actually pretty decent considering the price!

That’s my preferred choice for an alcohol free beer.

Can one of the aficionados on this thread explain to me why Moretti seem to think I want sea salt in my beer?

is this a thing?

I sincerely hope you're not drinking Moretti in Belgium. Wars have been started for less.
No idea about salt in lager, seems dodgy to me. Salt in gose is essential though

I've no idea really but perhaps it works a little like an electrolyte, and aids with rehydration.

Off to Belgium for a week’s holiday with friends. Any beers we need to look out for?

Cantillon - a visit to the brewery in Brussels is well worth it.
Bofkont - much sought after, but difficult to find and expensive.
De La Senne - Taras Boulba and Zinnebir are both fantastic brews.
Orval - for me, the best of the trappists, but getting more difficult to find in BE.

Orval is definitely one of favourites , got an indefinable spiciness about, very drinkable.

Just got back from a weeks' holiday in Belgium 🇧🇪 and can easily recommend these blonds: Duvel, Fourchette, Moinette, St Augustyn, St Bernadus and Omer. (Pix to follow!).
Was not impressed with Blanche de Bruges.
Came home with some Westvleteren, not yet tried, can be difficult to find at non-rip-off € and a special batch of Angelo (abv 16%), made for a restaurant by a small producer.

 

[Shadow]

Westvleteren Blond 5.8%. Green cap. Until a few years ago, there were no labels, only green, blue (8%) and yellow (10%) caps. Apparently, the monks only drink the green.
Angelo 16%. Made solely for 't Aards Paradis. Am anticipating dark amber, impossible to see into the bottle! ABV is not a typo!

Exhibit #1

Duvel Blond 8.5% - at a friendly restaurant in Poperinge serving breakfast and lunch, interesting décor, good wine list; beer very good to my uneducated palate.

Blanche de Bruges Witbier 5% - in an ordinary lunch bar in central Bruges; disappointing, thin (and overpriced).

St Bernadus Watou Tripel 7.5% - at a popular brasserie in Poperinge serving good food; "classic tripel style, traditional Abbey beer"; very good, very enjoyable.

Duvel is one of my favourites, an absolute classic

It is lovely and very refreshing for something so strong
