Your Beer of the week

[Manic]

I lent our water tap fitting to a French couple on an Aire a couple of days ago but their hose still wouldn’t fit so also lent hose.
They brought hose back and gave use this bottle of beer from their village near Le Mans and very nice and moorish it is.

The Butcombe Original is always on tap in my local Joe, currently at £3.40 a pint. I usually have two or three, before progressing on to something stronger.

At Wakefield this weekend I was drinking this as part of Spoons Beer Festival.

It was a lovely smooth pint with a fruity after taste. Definitely worth a punt....................and only £1.79 a pint.

Tried a couple of cans of this from Aldi, I normally like their Perlenbacher lager, but apart from it's abv, this was "nowt ower" as they say in these parts, just a slightly malty lager ?

If we can when leaving the Chunnel or ferry we head for the brewery at Westvleteren, voted best beer in the world a few times. Ridiculously difficult to get hold of but the restaurant nearby sells it as well as very nice food. We stay over night in the car park.

Do you have the name of the restaurant that sells it? We've tried to plan a trip to get a case of beer from them, but can never get a slot to buy some. It has become somewhat my holy grail of beer, so would be nice to try before you buy . Read that there was a place nearby that the Monks had allowed to sell the beer in 6 bottle packs as the shop was based in a former nunnery.

You have to book one of the Sales/pick-up slots they release and order in advance which takes a bit of planning but so worth it.

The cases are better value but as said you have to plan ahead for ages. They sell boxes of six in In de Verde but it's hit and miss.
While I was in the area I got these.

Simon of Real Ale Craft Beer unveiled this Lidl Octoberfest offering of beers in his Youtube channel.
He's been gradually reviewing them one at a time along with other things.

St Bernadus is a great drop, I worked in Antwerp for a bit and really enjoyed Mort Subite. My Belgian colleagues tended to go for Bruges Zot. Now I want a beer!!!

 

[Diabalo]

Just enjoing a Titanic brewery Plum Porter, well good.

TBH Bill, Old Speckled Hen was one of my all time favourites, until they dropped the ABV, be it bottles or cans, as for me, the taste was the same.
Since Greene King took over the brew, they dropped the ABV so as not to be in competition with their flagship and best selling Abbot Ale at 5.2% ABV, now reduced to 5.0% ABV on tap.

I saw Woodforde's Nelson's Revenge on tap today, but was astonished that it was only 4.3% ABV..........so gave it a swerve in favour of Abbot Ale.
Even Adnam's Broadside has taken a dive re alcoholic volume, ie, it used to be almost 6% ABV, but is now on tap at 4.7% ABV.................yet we as customers are still paying the same bleddy price at the pump, despite the lower volume.

Regards,

Jock.

As I've lost 18kg and reversed my Type 2 diabetes. This was my beer of celebration. Ter Dolen Kriek. They also serve it on tap at the Belgian Monk in Norwich. Which is where we first tasted it.
