We, too, were celebrating Christmas earlier today (early or late Christmas - who cares) - with a 75 cl bottle of N'ice Chouffe. We followed that up by splitting a Tynt Meadow, which I have now decided is my all-time favourite English beer. froggg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite tempted, seems to be a good selection of world beers at around £6 per litre, including Triple Karmeliet(sic). Big selection of Leffes I've not seen before too, I guess due to the takeover opening up new commercial channels, and a few Thornebridge beers too.

It was a bit of a fiddly set up and it arrived on the morning of the party i was using it at. I am shiite at DIY etc though I've seen them used in micro pubs and they serve a decent beer. I have a Leffe Blond and a Karmaliet ready to use but waiting till we can ne more sociable to get it set up. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a little expensive per drink, but I do love a gadget! One other thing, can you take a half full keg out and use another, then swop back?

I have gone halves with a mate on it. one of the reasons i got it is I was looking at organising some gigs with our own bar. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple of people with these, and both very happy, often do good deals on short date kegs as well. Would invest myself but hardly touch a drop these days.?

I've thought about it, but I would probably only go for Karmeleit and Kwak. Incidentally, Leffe Rituel is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) My first pub pint following lockdown was... followed by one from Derbyshire's finest.. ...and then a few more. A quiet, rainy Wednesday afternoon was a good time to head out, only 5 people in the entire pub.

It's brewed by Mauritius in Zwickau (so as near to Munich as Newcastle is to London) but it is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Ram for All Seasons Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Highly recommended to aficionados of really hoppy German beer. Not cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduced to £1.50 per bottle at Waitrose. I think the original price was £2.20. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
