Anyone who likes Belgian beers aldi are selling grimbergen blond for £1.30 atm it’s great.

 

already on this. 

 

funnily enough when we go to Annecy we stop at a french town called St. Quentin on the way down and we have a Grimbergen and a 'burger' sitting in their square in the evening. 

 

it's the official start of summer holiday. 

 

love drinking it here because it takes me to that moment in my head and it's a buzz.

Maybe this doesn't belong in "real ales" but I read that some Abbey in Leicestershire is now a designated Trappist brewery? Anybody hear about this?

Yes, first British Trappist beer.

Went in Two Tailed Lion for a quick one tonight, decent. Expected more of a choice though to be fair.

Yeah it’s decent, if you like porters try and get your hands on some death by coconut. Incredible drink.

Is that the American pale ale? I’m not a fan of the strong after taste.

Yeah I don’t find it to have a strong aftertaste though!

Maybe I got a dodgy pint but yeah, strong hoppy after taste.

 

Had a pint of Clockwork tangerine in Brewdog last night, that was very nice.

It’s just occurred to me that you can do a pub crawl in Leicester involving good beer and animals. 

 

BrewDOG 

Blue BOAR

Two Tailed LION 

 

Yeah that’s the pathetic inner workings of my brain on a Friday evening

A lot of pubs have animal themed names.

Shame the Swan & Rushes closed. I have fond memories of pints of Bateman's Dark Mild and a cob before watching the worst performances that the Levein / Kelly / Holloway era teams could produce.

The Swan is gonna be so soulless when it reopens which is shite because it was my favourite pub in Leicester beforehand
