May 29, 2015. Since we’re quite so comfortable sat at the bar here at La Capsule, let’s pick something more from the impressive tap list to follow the local speciality L'Angelus. Bière de Garde. I’m a big fan of Cantillon as is no doubt fairly clear by now. I toured the brewery. In Brussels last year, and enjoyed the Kriek. Then returned last month for the perhaps even better Rosé de Gambrinus. It smells nicer than it sounds, and obviously the flavour is stunning. Brow-moisteningly sour, it’s c...That&rs...

July 08, 2015. It looks like it might be worth making speculative research trips to the Crosse Keys. A JD Wetherspoon pub in the heart of London’s financial centre, more often. The previous visit unearthed Hambleton Nightmare. And this time we have the opportunity to accompany our reasonably priced lunch with a pint of Batemans XXXB, a Best Bitter from Lincolnshire. How nice that the Crosse Keys now opens on a Sunday, too. The City has traditionally been a ghost town at the weekends, with pubs remain...

July 03, 2015. It appears I’ve been a little negligent regarding blogging duties recently. Happily, the research has been continuing and I have a few beers to write up. That this one was sampled on the 30th of May will tell you how far behind I am, so let’s crack on. I can be certain of the date, because Brains Dark was found among the impressive cask lineup at the 30th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival. You may remember my visit to the Colchester Winter Ale Festival. So easily that I didn’t m...

150. La Choulette Ambrée

July 05, 2015. 150 La Choulette Ambrée. As the halfway point of this ridiculous project looms, we won’t let the fact that we spent all day at the 30th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival. Prevent us from opening something nice. This’ll do. It’s another Bière de Garde. Found at L'Abbaye des Saveurs. In Lille, and lugged back home on the Eurostar. They present their beers well in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, and this is no exception. Another near neighbour, geographically speaking. As such, it’s probably l...

January 23, 2016. 157 Abbaye des Rocs. The Threehundredbeers tour of Scotland continues. After a day out in Ellon, Aberdeenshire touring the BrewDog. Brewery and tasting some of their wares at the giant-dog-friendly DogTap. We’ll stop off for the night in Aberdeen and see what beery delights the city can offer us. I’ve heard a lot of good things about six°north. Indeed, any bar that gets to hold a Cantillon Zwanze Day. From Montignies-sur-Roc, a tiny village close to the border with France. The aroma is ...

April 24, 2015. Since we’re at Café Bebo. Already, it seems like it would be rude not to see whether there’s anything else on the menu that may be of interest to us. There is, of course, and it’s a strong, dark Abbey Beer. Brewed under the supervision of the Benedictine monks of the Abbaye de Maredsous. Deep within the Walloon region, some distance south of Brussels. We enjoyed the even stronger Maredsous Tripel. Back in London, but there’s something nice about finding a beer in its home country. I think...

May 08, 2015. 144 Anker Gouden Carolus Classic. As this particular Brussels adventure draws to a close, what better way to bookend the trip than with a return visit to Poechenellekelder. Back where we started with De Dolle Arabier. A couple of days ago. It’ll be a good opportunity to fortify ourself for the trek home with one last. And to pick off a final beer from the list, Anker Gouden Carolus Classic. And with that, we bid farewell to Poechenellekelder and to Brussels for the time being. I don&rsq...
