OT: I've just had my first Alcohol based revalation.

I've just discovered the titanium in my knee interferes with WiFi :)

LOL cool!

Can you sue it as a booster antenna if you face the correct way?

Ho Yuss.

For an interesting night out not too far from you, try Le Trappiste in Altrincham. They've a menu of over 100 beers, so if you like Leffe Brun, you'll be blown away by some of the fantastic bottled and draught beers in there.

I'm barred after drinking too many of the 13% beers in one night :(

Oh fantastic.

I'll give it a go, if I'm ever stuck there Sans Car.

Wel done, but IMO the blonde is better. Now you can work up to trying Geuze, I suggest trying "Mort Subite" if you can find any. In the meantime there's Duvel, but watch out it's a tad on the strong side.

Local Tesco has Duvel and Trappiste on the shelf. They are the next two to try actually.

Tip for you, try Herold if you can find it. Cz beers (actually lager) but the light is almost white like a wheat beer and the dark is almost as black as a stout, but still a lager.

Also Clouded Golden. Pale wheatbeer made with cloves and Coriander. Really tasty, and don't forget Waggledance and Humdinger honey beers.

Talking of CZ beers, the superior White and Dark ones IMHO are Krusovice and you can mix them together to make a rather lovely "Gizanyi" (not sure if that's how it is spelt).

You can get the white Krusovice in some Asdas but the dark one is pretty elusive over here :( I brought several bottles and cans of both back from Hungary with me, along with a significant amount of Egri Bikaver (Bull's Blood) Hungarian wine :D

If you ever find some, try the Herold. It is good stuff.

If you've ever been to Turkey, or been to a greek/turkish restaurant you've probably tried Efes beer.

Definatley a lager. But in Turkey where they make it, you can also get Efes Light (lowish alcohol) and Efes Dark, nice rich brown ale/brown lager type.

Oh and the Local Tesco has Kronenberg Blanc and Kronenberg Cru alongside the normal 1664 in big bottles.

If you have a Safeway near you, that's a Safeway about to become Morrisons, not Morrisons. They have an excellent line up of Belgian and Czech beer.

My taste in Czech beer extends to Urquell and Budweiser.

Blecch. I drank "quite a bit" of Hefe Weissenbier in Wiesbaden but I don't want someone adding curry spices to it.

Waggledance is OK ish on draught but a bit too sweet. I prefer St Peter's Golden Ale but the only place I can get that on draught is Chester. Long way to go for a pint.

You can't actually taste the spices as such, but they really make a good tasting light bear.
