Quoted from Maringer
Lidl have got their Belgian beer selection pack on sale again, apparently.

12 quid for 6 beers including 2 different Gulden Draak beers and 2 different Piraat (each 10.5% vol) plus a Bornem dubbel (7.3%) and a Bornem Tripel (9%).

All are pretty tasty (Bornem Tripel my favourite of the pack) with the strongest ones good sipping beers!


I think I’ll pop down there to get some tomorrow, assuming it’s a national promotion. Going down to my sister’s soon and my brother-in-law likes a beer.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Whenever I am in Sheffield the Tap on the train station is must visit place for trying something different every time you go in.

For anyone going further a field and visiting Norwich they must drop in on the Belgian Monk, excellent selection of belgian beer, not the cheapest by any stretch however the connoisseur will not be disappointed.


I was just wondering about the Tap. Used to work in Sheffield 11 years ago and would pop in there if I had a fair wait for a train.

It is a national promotion. Started a week or two ago, but they don't tend to sell out quickly (not in the Grimsby Lidls, at least). They were only 9 quid a couple of years ago which was preposterously cheap!

Very interesting DB. The only one I don’t remember is the Wine Pipe but then that disappeared when I was a little kid.

The Wine Pipe is now the name of a pub down Freemo, whether there is a connection, or not I don' know. It also reminds me of the Cross Keys, which was in Cleethorpes High St. I seem to remember that when it was pulled down the council of the day promised to keep the name in memory of the pub.

They did as the Cross Keys in New Walham, but then they let the name change and now it's now the Farmhouse; so much for the council keeping their promise.

I suppose the council have limited control over the name of a private business.

I've never really tried many of the lesser known brands, never been to a beer festival.

Like: Corona with lime, Caffrey's with a dash of lemonade, Coors Light, Budweiser,

Dislike: Becks, Stella, any super strengths like Carlsberg Special Brew, Tenants Super, they taste vile.

Any beer with a dash, 1/4 or 1/2 lemonade used to be called a shandy. The amount of lemonade was dependant upon what the drinker wanted.

Interesting article in the GT about closed pubs.

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/nostalgia/10-lost-pubs-grimsby-cleethorpes-1816032


Blimey, I've actually been in 9 of those 10 pubs. The only one I hadn't been in was Ye Olde Wine Pipe, as that was demolished when I was 7!
