Beer?

[stephec]

A double pilsner? AKA a very strong lager? I take it it's better than Tennant's purple tin or Carlsberg special brew....

It's funny how strong beers a very much a park bench drinking school thing, unless they're Belgian, when they're very sophisticated.....

Tennant's Super at 9%?

When I was around 18 years old 4 cans of that made me projectile on new year's eve. 🤣

I used to like Tennant's Extra in the black cans, quite quaffable at around 5%.

A couple of favorites tonight.

They're for Flanders, mainly. And Roubaix. There are 12 Chimay Dorée, 12 Val Dieu blonde and 6 Maredsous blonde - which are vital if you're going to drink Belgian beer all day as they're from 4.8 to 6.5%

I've also got loads of Duvel, Orval and other bits and bobs in the spare room....

I need to sort some beer out for Flanders myself but left it too late to order the good stuff, so Ill probably end up with Leffe

Well I live in Copenhagen, so a Danish beer shop, so definitely not very useful in the Scottish borders!

Choice of shop was due to the Val Dieu blonde and Chimay Dorée, have had a little trouble sourcing them recently. We're always short of lighter Belgian beers and don't want to start with Duvel at 11am, so I got a bulk order in.... Couldn't find anyone in DK with Curtius Classic , a microbrewery from outside Liege - will order something from Belgium for LBL I think.... Also looking for a reliable source of Westmalle Extra which is 4,8%. (the monks used to keep it for themselves and sell the heavy stuff)

2 stouts and a porter, all very nice.
