They also do mail order, and a couple of weeks ago, I acquired 12 x Straffe Hendrik Tripel 75 cl and 12 x Straffe Quad 75 cl. Total cost, including shipping to the UK, was just €128 (oh, including a new lapel badge for my blazer). The beers came in 4 separate boxes, each containing 6 bottles, and the total shipping was just €10. I assume they have a special arrangement with the courier. I'll be getting a load more for Christmas, including 24 bottles of Straffe Hendrik Wild and some bottles of the 2018 Heritage (oak aged). https://shop.halvemaan.be/en/beers/straffe-hendrik/ thanks - ordered eight styles from your list from Beers of Europe plus the ones I already have will give me a broad range to try. Will also look at halvemaan as I've had Straffe styles mentioned by others. Only managed to get 1 btl of the Urthel Samaranth as now out of stock look forward to delivery and tasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Got bought some beers as a birthday gift earlier in the week. These two are so far the stand out selections. stejawh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ever in Newquay. Head down to Lusty Glaze beach and try there pilsner. I haven't tried lagers from all over the world but I've always had lager wherever I've been- a fair few places- and that was the best one . When I was down there in August, the beach was closed unless you paid 2.5k for three nights glamping and I couldn't get my annual fix. Not a happy boy. It's probably worth the 280 mile trip on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Finally tried Gulden Draak quadrupel at the weekend. Blimey that's an acquired taste. Alright once you're in but tastes like someone dropped a mickey finn. Definitely aids sleep. sage and Kinder 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Uttoxeter Brewing Co.'s Monster Mash, Ghost Patrol and Vamp Party that were moving gifts now I'm part of the Utchiter Mafia. One IPA, one Golden Ale and one Ruby Ale. Drinkable but not the strongest flavours. Good sessioners though I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 In a nod towards our soon to be takeover by a middle-eastern set-up, a new Derby beer is being brewed. This is a complex brew, which combines the tolerance of the middle-east towards alcohol with our chances of being promoted and will be called RamZero.

Think its now fixed might try a couple of bottles from Beers of Europe first I went on there today, and it seems that there is a problem of some form or another. Perhaps they are in the process of changing couriers. I wanted to order half a dozen Heritage 2018 and 24 Wild as well as another case each of Tripels and Quads, but I got the message "No shipping method found for your country”. I have emailed the shop and will let you know when I get a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very yeasty, very citrusy, very amber, very boozy but very enjoyable with a bit of cheese. NG2Ram and Anag Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I just tasted a really nice new beer. Karmeliten Kloster Doppelbock. An excellent beer by itself but once I get some time I want to try it with one of my favourite foods, Stifado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
