Cheeky git! 
I thought this was the idea to try some different beers and report back 
Ahleckz sit down..... relax....deep breath.....
I've had two bottles of Bud and now this, and the taste, flavour hell just everything is worlds apart. Simply delightful to drink and enjoy. Ok somebody throw water over Ahleckz

I'm still amazed at 22 people selecting beers for Belgium and only 4 picked the same (all the same) really does say something for the choice out there. You do know when England pops up we pretty much all should be on a 3 pointer!
Dont even know if I'd give it 72 tbh, tried it once and it just tastes of jam lol.
Only bought it coz I thought no one else would lol
The shoppin list was 3 bottles of LEffe Brun and that the leffe didnt even get to the fridge before I opened one

Have to admit I really enjoyed my Leffe Blonde and looking forward to picking up another 4 pack soon 
As soon as I saw it I was like YES I HAVE TO HAVE THIS.
Grab a bottle of Brun too mate, see what you think of it.
Asda often has the 750ml bottles for £2.50.
My local shop wants £4.50!! yeah I'll goto ASDA
Anyone seen the old crafty hen anywehre?
Only place I've seen it is my local tesco extra but theyre out atm.
DJ - clarification please
Country of origin is the country brewed in?
Are ciders excluded?
Cheers
Soldato
Tried some of the torpedos from tesco at the weekend and some old tom ale. Jesus both are heavenly. So is Kirin and Sapporo. Expensive habit.
I think we will see a lot of the same beers for France, England should be quite easy, but I'm mostly using this to either drink beer that I know is awesome and hence spend a bit more or try something new.
I've been talking about this a bit at work now and people are giving me niche beers to try now in exchange for bottles of my homebrew, not bad!

Hi matey, firstly no ciders allowed. Lager, ale or stout, anything beer
Ok county of origin this is a tricky one as it's been mentioned in this thread before. I would say a lot comes down to common sense in that (I used this as an example) take Guinness, it is brewed in parts of Africa but it will always be deemed an Irish beer. Same applies for say Budweiser, it is brewed in Ireland yet is still an American beer.

Don't feel for one second (and this applies to everyone) you have to go out and spend lots of money. Try something cheaper, little dumpy beer bottles maybe?

Bah both of my French beers are too tenuous, have to find some more
Quite fun though built a rapport with my local independent off licence
Oh I didn't buy it, thought it was ridiculous

See and only good thinks can come of this
I'm going to say as I'd be gutted if someone else had it and DJ agreed it was OK, Desperados looks Mexican started in Spain but now brewed in France.
