Beer Alert & Directory IV

[Steviebike]

Anyone heading to England and wants to try some real ale/beer (ciders and perry too) have a look here: http://www.camra.org.uk/beerfestivals

Been to a couple and it's a laugh, umm, got drunk. I usually head for the ciders being a Cornish bumpkin.

I like many styles of Belgian ales. But, we in the US do not need the Belgians to show us how to brew. There are already many microbreweries brewing Belgian-style ales in the US. Many of these are of very high quality, too.

Inbev wasn't interested (never was - even not in Belgium) in the micro breweries since the Belgo Brazilian connection bought Anheuser -Bush in 2008.
As for the origins of American Microbreweries, I thought I read before the knowledge came from....

Curious to know which good Belgian beer 7-eleven is carrying - didn't see it earlier on.

Finley's just pissed because he can't get Carling Black label here. Or Tetley's. Or Tennents lager. Or McEwans Export. Or how about a nice refreshing can of Kestrel? Wanna talk about REALLY crap beer, finley? You do NOT want to tread that path m'boy.

Oh thanks for the memories

Petrus, very flavorful, nice aftertaste.

Right now, 7-11 is 21% off if you buy three cans/bottles of import beer. The non-Japanese ones at my local are the Petrus Dubbel Bruin, Oettinger Hefeweissbier, Oettinger Radler and Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc.

Sat here drinking an OeTTINGER. It's ok, not a true white/wheat beer, can taste it has been rapidly brewed. In another life I was an off-licence employee and have a City & Guilds qualification in wine and beer something or other . I like alcohol but rarely drink it these days. Expect for today and some other times, honest.

I thought the same, but then a German friend of mine explained that you have to pour it into a glass to let it open up. Not sure if you did that, but if like me you drank it straight out of the can it's no good.

I've noticed a couple of 7.5% strength beers in 7-11 recently. They're upping the ante

This is true of the wheat beers. But no I didn't... So maybe I'm being harsh. Same is not true when drinking red wine from the bottle with a straw, it's fantastic.

7.5%, nearly a Tenants. The offie I worked in, the best sellers were; Stella, Special Brew and Tenants. Cripple Cock cider was a top seller too and B&H best selling smokes. Classy. We sold wine too.

Pertus ,while it is the 2011 "World’s Best Speciality Pale Ale” it might hit some local guys with a hammer.
High fermentation, 5.5 pc alcohol ,a cold fridge in 7-11 and outside 35 degrees Celsius are a good mix for some nice surprises.
While I advocate and support small breweries they should have offered a refreshing Hoegaarden instead of the Ottinger which won't be up to the locals taste buds
