Having a Traquair House Ale in my local pub. A really good beer. Unfortunately they don't serve food here. This would be great with reindeer or moose.

Leffe Blond.

Last had one in Lille in 2016 at the Euros and thought it tasted awful. Just had one in the back garden and it went down a treat. Obviously developed a more refined palate over the last 5 years.

The one you had in Lille probably came out of the drain at the back of the bogs?

It gets a bad press from Belgian beer 'snobs', but it's not bad at all - very pleasant, especially when it's a nice, sunny day. The Brune is very nice, and is always the base beer in my Flemish stew. If you want to step up just a bit, nip in to Tesco and buy a bottle of Duvel (£2) or Delirium (£2.50). The big Tescos and Sainsburys also sell Tripel Karmeleit in 75cl bottles at £5 a bottle - and that is a world class beer.

Delirium I've had a few of - lovely stuff. Duvel I find heavy going though. 

None of the Belgian brews are really my taste - IPA's, APA's and anything hoppy usually my thing but was a nice change up.

Duvel Tripel Hop, Houblon Chouffe, Urthel Hop-it, Hopsinjoor, Poperings Hommelbier and Troubadour Magma are worth seeking out. All are very 'hop-forward'.
