    Had a bloody good session at Fork and Brewer in Welly yesterday. Can't recommend it enough. The Craft beer selection is immense even for a piston wristed gibbon like me. I can't remember any of the names but the APA in particular was wonderful.

    I'm a big fan of Belgian beer. Can't wait for another visit to Cafe Leuven in Wellington to enjoy a Westmalle Double.

    Good effort, I'll make sure I try that one 😉

    Leuven do a really good cherry flavoured one too. Always have one when I'm there.

    Ha! I am currently sitting in a hotel in southern Belgium on a stopover and just realised that the Leffe museum is here, Chimay and Maredsous breweries are both within 10 kms.
    Unfortunately none of them open until too late in the morning and we have to get to Calais in time for our ferry.
    Compromise has been to sample a few from the bar downstairs (a very nice Maredsous Brune) take off early and go via Bruge with time for a quick lunch and a few glasses.

    In my experience Belgiun Beer > German Beer

    Yep. Just had 7 days on German/Austrian beer and its difficult to find much above average. Looking forward to grabbing some kiwi beer for tonight to watch the fireworks from the top of NZ house in London.

    Was out on Friday and had a few Macs Mid Vicious Session IPA, which is 2.5%.

    Gotta say, pretty good, hands down the best low alcohol beer I have had.

    TR I had some at Akl Airport wee hours of Sunday morning and I agree. It actually tasted like beer!

    I was seeing my brother off after a 16 day drinking binge.

    I never want to look at a beer again - well not until at least 6.00 pm

    Their raspberry one is decent for what it is. Definitely a good option for this time of year.

    I'd rather drink a fruity drink than what is essentially weak beer.

    Again, any beer under 4% isn't beer. Why do none of you get this?

    Look, I know you are all loved up and stuff and even engaged if I remember correctly... but are you sure your closet doesn't just have a squeaky hinge??

    @MN5 Have you tried it?

    If I'm driving I would rather have something that tastes quite similar to a mainstream beer than sugary carbonated water.

    I usually will skip drinking completely rather than drink two stroke but the Macs on the basis of one glass at 1.00 am in the morning was OKish
