Oh sorry, that's formula milk stout. I did see news of it (Stella Artois unfiltered) recently. Then again, at the same time I was told that Tesco were now stocking St Bernardus Abt 12 at £3.50 a bottle, so the unfiltered Stella Artois never got another moment's thought.

Grumpy Git Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) On Eddie’s advice I got a couple of Belgian beers from Morrisons today. First was a Timmermans ‘Oude Gueuze’ 6.7% lambic brew, which I really didn’t care for one iota, although I did sup it all as it was expensive! Now onto this little 8% charmer, much more to my liking.

Gueuzes are an acquired taste. Boon Gueuze Mariage Parfait is slightly less 'in your face' with the funkiness. The Memsahib's currently scoffing her way through a Chimay White. I've had a 'Trip Trap' - a bottle of Westmalle Dubbel and a bottle of Westmalle Tripel, mixed. Now supping my Father's Day prezzy - a bottle of Auchentoshan.

The Affligem Tripel is a personal favourite - as is the Ciney Blond. A great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Amber Valley Beer and Cider Festival is on this weekend at Belper Rugby Club. Decent set-up, good range of beers and ciders etc, well worth a visit. Boycie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a low-key Tesco celebration - a bottle of St Bernardus Abt 12 followed by a Chimay White (Tripel) and a tot of Jim Beam. Today, I'm breaking open one of my last two 75 cl bottles of 2015 Straffe Hendrik Heritage. Crewton, Grumpy Git and Kinder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Git Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Had a lovely bottle Zinfandel with my tea followed by several ‘common’ but nevertheless enjoyable Doom Bars later. Stayed off the malt (and my head is the better this morning for that decision). UTR Kinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a cafe in Salò on the western shore of Lake Garda called 'Pasticceria Vassalli', which has a display cabinet full of Macallens going back to god knows when, ('all marked 'not for sale'). They must be worth a fortune? The cakes in there are to die for too, highly recommended. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
