Best thing is I'd not even realised it had a Ram on it until I'd cracked the first one open. ? Her indoors has just waded in for a few cans of this. Hopefully it will take the edge off our Coventry performance. Not only do we have the same taste in mugs @Steve How Hard? we also have the same taste in kitchen tiles and a taste for beer that tastes like beer with a pina colada in it!

Must have driven past it 1000s of times and never realised it was there! Yeah I’m gonna sample a bottle of gin from them I think. Having my first child at the start of April so I was planning to get a bottle of their rum to have as something a bit special plus something I can open and then put back in the bottle if I’m knackered in the evening and fall asleep before finishing a beer! I know this makes me seem my number 1 priority will be wasting beer but I’m just like to plan ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 @Eddie and other Belgian fans. I got a bottle of St Stefanus Blonde to have tonight. First time I've drank this year so didn't want anything too strong. How does this beer rate? Also got a Punk IPA and a Shelby IPA (by order of the Peaky Blinders).

It's 'run of the mill' as far as beers by Van Steenberge are concerned - but it is still very tasty indeed. Something like 7% abv, a lovely looking beer. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first delivery last week since Brexit, (part of my business not beer unfortunately). Would normally have arrived Tuesday, but turned up 6pm Friday, so too late for me to deliver it to my customers before the month end. So I will get paid a month later than normal! It had been stuck in the DHL customs black hole in East Midlands airport for three days, even though I'd got all my EORI details set-up with them to prevent this scenario. Total fail by DHL UK, they are struggling to keep up with the paperwork. Thanks Brexiteers.

Eddie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 It arrived - almost intact. One bottle of Le Fort Tripel was smashed, but everything else survived. Bruno has issued me with a credit note for part of my next order, and he's stopped using UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been one of the things that's impressed me about Belgium and The Netherlands - the rail travel. So fast, so reliable and so cheap, relatively speaking.
