I like it and yes, I did recognise the name from the books! I've had a few before from my local Asda (much to the surprise of someone on here- I think it was Bairnardo). Reminds me a wee bit of Brooklyn lager in that it's more of an ale taste than a lager.

Still unable to find it

Barry's stock it

In a frankly amazing turn of events, I have just checked google maps for my previously mentioned pals house proximity to Barrys. A full 0.4 miles away. Its happening. 

Which one? The Cathcart shop is the main event.

Will have to agree to disagree on that one. I found it bizarrely over-carbonated, like a cherryade shandy that didn't go down comfortably at all. It wasn't too sweet but without any sour or complex dark flavours it was one-dimensional.
Not a patch on Bacchus kriek never mind the God-level cherry beers within Belgium itself - or indeed the Vocation Kirsch imperial stout, the solution to all of life's problems.
Fair enough. To be honest, I wasn't convinced on first taste but it grew on me. I find some of the really rich cherry beers too sweet and almost like a cherryade although I do like the Bacchus Kriek.

Anyway, wine tonight and this Portuguese red was very drinkable. 20210404_231655.thumb.jpg.5c52003fb87654e509916e4d5cbfefaf.jpg

Nobody else drinking today? I'm off tomorrow and my wife's away so catching up on Sportscene and AVFTT. Had a few others but just finished an ever popular Disco Forklift Truck and moving onto an Orkney Dark Island accompanied by a Ben Bracken Islay 16yo (What an overhead kick that is, by the way).20210406_000237.thumb.jpg.5681d317a01604a50c33d7c4a4cc399c.jpgJPEG_20210406_001326_5810997956316371462.thumb.jpg.4f1525a5f81bbcc83f257989ca4e282d.jpg

Belgian Brown Abbey beer Tongerlo from my Beer 52 Belgian box. Mmm, a bit disappointing to be honest - a bit lacking and isn't a patch on Leffe Brun.

Was going to patch Beer 52 but thought I'd give the Belgian box a go. Been fairly disappointed with it as I know there's cracking Belgian beers out there.

Fancy Meeting You Here, a Swedish beer in Australia.  A collaboration between Beerbliotek and North Brewing Co Classed as a New England Session IPA but at 5% abv. It’s very cloudy, doesn’t have a beery or any other smell and is flat. Maybe too old as best by date is 16 June.

Great name for a brewery, Ministry of Beer. From the wine growing Barossa Valley and first time I’ve tried one of their beers, New England IPA. Nice hoppiness and at 6% only a few needed to change the o to an a.
