Trav Le Bleu Posted 15 February 2014 Share Posted 15 February 2014 If you are in Norfolk and can get a pint of Nelson's Victory, I highly recommend you do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacamion Posted 15 February 2014 Share Posted 15 February 2014 I went to a pub in Norfolk once and drank this delicious stuff called "Old Nog". After 5 or 6 or them, I struggle now to remember the name of the pub, but it was good gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 16 February 2014 Share Posted 16 February 2014 The Derby Winter Beer Festival is on from the19th at the Roundhouse. Derby. Next to the train station so ideal for me. It says Pride park so is the football ground near? And should I wear a City shirt? The beer list isn't up on the site yet. May go next Friday. Busy Wed/Thursday and matchday Saturday. http://nwaf.org.uk/ I think the Winter Festival used to be in Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unabomber Posted 18 February 2014 Share Posted 18 February 2014 Went to Beers of Europe in Kings Lynn today, and wow I have never seen anything like it. I mainly got Belgian/American beers but did get a bottle of Nelson's Revenge to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly got Belgian/American beers but did get a bottle of Nelson's Revenge to try. Did you try this one, Lambic Gueuze? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gueuze If you like Belgian beers, you owe it to yourself to try it. Some don't like the taste (sour yet beautifully tasty, highly distinctive, very refreshing), but many others, me included, think it's heaven on earth. Most enjoyable beer I've had with the possible exception of Wobbly Bob, though Stairway to Heaven runs it close.Decent strength, too - strong enough for a buzz, but not as ridiculously strong as some Belgian beers.

A nice, cold Gueuze makes a great summer beer. Mort Subite's probably my favourite of the more readily available Gueuzes, but if you can get your hands on some Cantillon I heartily recommend it. It's a bit less sweet than a regular gueze which makes it a better mealtime drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most enjoyable beer I've had with the possible exception of Wobbly Bob, though Stairway to Heaven runs it close.Decent strength, too - strong enough for a buzz, but not as ridiculously strong as some Belgian beers. Yeah I have had a few gueuze beers and I personally love them. A nice, cold Gueuze makes a great summer beer. Mort Subite's probably my favourite of the more readily available Gueuzes, but if you can get your hands on some Cantillon I heartily recommend it. It's a bit less sweet than a regular gueze which makes it a better mealtime drink. I went to Moeder Lambic and had Cantillon's gueuze on tap and that was amazing. I also went to Mort Subite and had theirs, I definitely prefer Cantillon's and also tried their Kreik which I enjoyed. They are certainly not for everyone though! Today the Belgians I got were Grimbergen Blond, Duvel Tripel hop, Lindemans Faro, Kasteel Rouge, Delirium Red and La Trappe Witte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry2simmo Posted 21 February 2014 Share Posted 21 February 2014 Anyone got any good recommendations for Golden ales and where I can get them from? Anyone got any good recommendations for Golden ales and where I can get them from? Try Oakham JHB ( Jeffery Hudson Bitter ) available on draught at The Swan And Rushes at the top of Jarrom St.next to the infirmary.Also just as good in bottle from Tesco.A golden light crispy ale with a hint of grapefruit very refreshing and fruity. One pint is never enough.Not too strong about 3.8.I wouldn't miss it before the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah them and Schneider Weisse make the best hefeweizen's imo, but they are pretty hard to find in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 8 March 2014 Share Posted 8 March 2014 Have got all entangled in red though as the wife fancied half a glass, and an open bottle of wine is too much to resist.
