The beer experience continues….. St. Louis Gueuze Fond Tradition 5% 375ml bottle After the Guido experience – which, coincidentally, is the title of the next Robert Ludlum novel – I needed something light, sparkling and a little tart to refresh my battered and somewhat violated palate. The big and boozy dark ales were taking effect […]

I have finally found a little time to get back to the blog. Given the lapse in time, a recap might be in order. Part 1 found us luxuriating in the magnificent Café Botteltje in Ostend. We were a good four beers into the evening and all members of the party were present and correct. […]

I was accused of digressing a little too often in my last post. In fact, my wife said the last post contained a lot of ‘flannel’, albeit high quality cotton quilting flannel. These comments have been noted and from this day forth ‘laconic’ will be my watchword. It’s goodbye hyperbole, hello pithy. I promise to […]

I have been a bit sloppy of late blogging wise. Ok, more sloppy than usual. Alright, I’ve been my consistently sloppy self in not posting for nearly a month. Life just got in the way. Crap excuse but true nonetheless. Back to the trip… On day two we found ourselves sat in a magnificent house […]

Our first bar of call was the ’Terrastje’. My Beer Guide book described the ‘Terrastje’ as ‘a little gem… a small one-roomed café with friendly service and a beer list more imaginative than most’. We happily walked and talked the half a mile or so it took to reach the bar, ready to begin our […]

An ode to Belgian Beer – The love I lost (the love, the love I lost) Was a wheat love (it was a wheat love) The love I lost (the love, the love I lost) Was yeast love (it was yeast love) The love I lost (the love I lost) I will never (never) no […]

So the day had finally arrived. After negotiating Virgin’s finest, the mean streets of Central London and the jungle that is Connex South Eastern on any given Thursday, I rocked up to the Goat’s ranch around 9pm. The Goat and I swiftly repaired to the Black Horse pubic house to plot our course, especially the […]

So much has happened since I lasted posted. I stayed with the Goat in London and enjoyed a Belgian Guinness or two – Belgian Guinness is rather like normal Guinness except it tastes nice. I went out for a lovely ride with the Medicine Man where we encountered a kestrel, climbed a few hills and […]
