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 ?

We bought some last year in Portugal and couldn't help singing blankety blank tune to it. Nice beer.

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!!!
