Had some of this from Lincolnshire Poacher (a Castle Rock pub) in Nottingham yesterday

Also had a bottle of Pauwel Kwak...

and from 'The Maze': 2 bottles of Anchor Steam Beer

and a bottle of Chimay red (first time), as well as a Duvel

...and necked a pint of Castle Rock's Preservation in 2 minutes

Plus around 5 pints of some other stuff.

 

It was messy.

I buy a couple of bottles of Kwak every now and again, just to let the occasional visitor test out the glass and rack. Plus of course it's a cracking beer.

Just put an order in to a company called belgium in a box dot com for a case (24 bottles) of Gulden Draak and a case of St Bernardus Abt 12 (basically the same beer as Westvleteren 12 - St Bernardus used to brew it for them).

 

They're based in Brussels and their delivery is quoted at "4 to 8 days".

 

Total cost for each case was about €51, and the shipping / courier delivery service worked out at around €22.50 per case. So taking everything into account, that works out at around £2.50 per bottle at the current exchange rate. That works out at about half the price I was paying at my 'local' off-licence, and I don't have to do a 60 mile round trip.

Eddie, what are you trying to do to me. I can't get my order below 6 crates. Heellllpppp.

 

Who are you using? Or are you saying 'I want that, that, that, some of those, this and some more of that'?

Just picked out what cases I wanted. Still got too many. I hope I forget tbis in the morning so I don't spend my crack money on beer.

I can see a Belgian Beer Club coming on. I've basically got a mate at work to chip in, so we are splitting the two cases. I'll do anything for this guy - he's still got a few bottles of 1999 Thomas Hardy's Ale (tee hee). If we could get 4 people involved next time, then we could each choose a case and split them so we get 6 bottles of each brew apiece.

I was thinking the very same thing.

Yes, save Eddie a 30 mile round trip.

You can drive to his to fetch yours! :)

 

I was thinking more along the lines of 'meet up on match days'  :p

 

And it's a 60 mile round trip

Shame that I don't live there. Belgian Bear Club is a nice idea. BBC - sounds familiar but can't really say why. :D
