That looks like rhubarb in a can, (not the taste, the after effects).

Close enough to the taste as well. It's absolutely loaded with citra, but by no means unpleasant.

I've got one can left (my daughter bought me a dozen a few weeks ago).

Gouden Carolus Tripel tonight - toast to Phil and crew.

Never nice when someone loses their job.

Cheers Phil. Good luck.

A splendid tipple.

Bad news about BIAB as I have just placed an order for Christmas.

They have the best choice at the moment. Lots of their competitors seem to have Out of stock against the best beers.

Your lists always give me ideas so thanks!

The last couple of times mine went beyond 6 weeks, I dropped Kurt a quick reminder - and hey presto, it moved within a couple of days. I've got 3 orders outstanding with them - I'm hoping that I get them before Christmas, but no big deal really. I've decided 'bugger the expense', and will get 12 x 75 cl bottles of Straffe Tripel and 6 x 75 cl Straffe Quad from De Halve Maan anyway. It still only works out at around £7 a bottle, even with the nearly €40 delivery charge.

Yeah it moved very quickly when I emailed him last time, but as I'm not a regular customer it feels a bit too cheeky to chase this order too.

On a separate note, have you seen this yet...

It doesn't seem that widely available.

Only been released a couple of months - that's shorter than the average BIAB order lead time. Looking to lay my filthy hands on some as soon as I can.

I tried it for the first time last night.

The good news is, I absolutely loved it - a delightfully fresh citrus bomb.

The even better news is the Memsahib hated it, which means that I can order loads more and not have to share - at least, not until I see @sage at the cricket next year. I reckon it'll be right up his street.

Also, 96 bottles from BIAB arrived today.

Tried the collection from DBC's Hole in the Wall pub in Mickleover yesterday. Picked up a few pints of "Muffin Conpares to You" milk stout, quite a sweet tipple so maybe not to everyone's taste but I thought it was lovely!

Very easy to drink but still fair strength at 6.5%. The pork pies with stilton that they're selling are incredible too, highly recommended ?

Which store did you order the Rochefort from?

My BIAB orde of 26 (which I thought was a good haul until I saw your 90!) has just arrived too - with a Duvel apron & (massive!) Gouden Caroulous bottle opener thrown in as a little (not little) gift!

Les Bieres Belges, but it is not showing on their website any more. Funnily enough, on my invoice, it says '2 bottles of Rochefort 10', but I most definitely didn't order any of that at all - and my Belgian shelf bears witness to that. No Rochefort 10, 1 Rochefort 8 (which appears on the invoice), 1 Rochefort Triple Extra (which doesn't appear on the invoice) plus the one I drank on Thursday night (hic).

Incidentally, the courier just arrived bearing 12 x 33 cl bottles of Black Square Imperial Stout. It's an exclusive, once-a-year brew by St Austell Brewery, and they only brew 4000 bottles.

6 for drinking over the next few months, 6 for leaving for following years.
