I also got these nice gueuze glasses in Brussels which are just like wine glasses. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7sl44pqmgjb3g2/2013-03-26%2020.55.38.jpg

Sounds like a good lot, what's a Red IPA? The other style that sounds interesting is Saisons, the farmhouse beers that are like our traditional scrumpys is suppose. The Cock Tavern did a whole saison themed night with versions from loads of different breweries but I missed it unfortunately...

The whole sour beer thing is very interesting to me. I think of them of the sourdoughs of the beer world. Some articles here. Sour Beer Is Risky Business Pucker Up, Buttercup

Interesting, sounds like I should have asked for a Rodenbach, will do next time.

Had a look online and it's the sister pub of the Dove on Broadway market. They both seem to have pretty serious beer lists with 4 or 5 gueuzes and faros and a load of other stuff..shit loads of trappist beers etc. Will check it out, cheers.

Brussels was pretty ace for beer drinking, managed to try 14 different one. Had 3 gueuze (Mort Subite, Tilquin and Belle Vue) and am definitely sold on them, very refreshing in the face of the strong and strong tasting dubbels and the dark ones. It was also nice to have beers around 5% as it's...

Great, have added to the google map which is now half art galleries and half beer related thing.

Yep good shout! I have just read all the wiki stuff, pretty interesting.

This is interesting - How to Identify Yeast Flavors in Beer: Wild Yeast and Bacteria

It's completely geeky but i've just signed up to Rate Beer which allows you to rate beers you have and keep track of them, as well as providing info on them and their brewing process, and look up similar beers. It has an app so you can do it on your phone down the pub for extra antisocial vibes.

Thanks that's great. I'm no mega beer expert so just a medium selection of stuff will appease me! Somewhere with a nice atmosphere would be best as my other half isn't bothered about the beer itself. I'm well up for trying some lambics as I've only had one once and didn't really like it but it...

Anyone know any good pubs/bars in Brussels? I'm on this weekend!:D

Wow, that's some achievement! What promoted you to give up completely rather than just partially?

117% increase in alcohol-related liver disease hospital admissions for under 30’s in England since 2002. "This figure is worse in certain areas, the north east has seen a 400% increase."

Where Angels Fear to Tread was good - very well crafted and readable. The behaviour of the characters seems a bit mad by today's standards but it was over 100 years ago. Some lovely lines in it, and a few chuckles raised. Oscar and Lucinda at the mo which is pretty good.

It's just recently become alcohol (presumably taking over from suicide).

Pretty crazy :eek: Alcohol is now the biggest killer for men under 55 apparently which is scary.

Yeah that did sounds like a good one, will have to look it out. I've just downloaded Sholay, the 3 hour bollywood epic which looks pretty great.

OK average week... I try to have 2 days a week off. Then probably 2 days I have a glass of wine or a beer with food or a whisky in the eve. 1 day per week go to the pub or round a mates for mini sesh - 3 pints. Fri/Sat get pissed - say 4 pints and 3 spirits Fri/Sat moderate - 2 pints So...

Yes, this place is wicked! Such a funny vibe. Tayyabs is nice, including the curries, IMO but the sheer insane busyness of it robs it of much of its enjoyment for me. Trick is to go at lunch time, or in the evening I go to Mirch Masala on Commercial road which is similar but much less busy. I...
