aceface where did you find Pelforth?? Been looking for that a little as the lighter version is pretty (the malty one is very heavy though).

I got it from beers of europe, have to say it wasn't very good, reminded me of Karmi a Polish beer aimed at women.

Book marking that in case something I like can be found there!

The draft lighter version was pretty nice (Limoge airport had a bar serving it which helped a bit) but the darker bottled version really didn't go down so well last Christmas.

At least we all learnt about French beer for the future...

Desperados is French?!?

I went into my local Oddbins, Coop and "world beers bar" and none of them had anything French other than Stella and Desperados (which I didn't realise was French else I'd have bought it).

Was working all day Saturday so had no chance to search elsewhere

i thought desperado's was mexican beer???

pelforth blonde is lovely, i used to get crates on my french trips from eurocity. then i moved onto leffe and leffe blue when there.

Jokester · 9 Sep 2012 at 19:25

Desperado's is indeed a French beer.

Found out it was during my research online and took a punt. Just could not source anything better after I spent my entire efforts trying to get hold of Mutzig Old Lager (one of my favourite beers ever).

It is tenuous I know but ultimately cannot be argued that it is not.

Chill your knickers.... I knew it was French thanks to maccapacca, well before it came up. That said, your bottle did show 'Europe' unlike mine

which clearly shows France

It's French! The 3 are in the bag, just don't cough. Nurse!

Unlucky mate, that said always great to see a newbie and one that makes an effort, ... well Germany next week.

I AM POSSIBLY THE MOST STUPID USELESS PERSON EVER!

First of all massive apologies DJ, completely forgot to email you that I wouldn't be able to get an entry in as I was on a stag doo all weekend and didn't have anything sorted before Friday.

The reason for the first line? I was drinking Desperados all weekend! I knew it was french but it never clicked.

I'm a bit worried for Hank, has his GF/missus left him?

Lol I do have a standard photo as per other weeks but on review it was a bit close to the mark(nips) lol, so had to reshoot after I went out.

I suspect normal service will resume next week, it is germany afterall so busty bravarian shots perhaps, I'm sure everyone will join in.

Jokester · 10 Sep 2012 at 12:53

Email in trust, it might be acceptable to post, but obviously I would need to check first.

Wouldn't have been the first (not from yourself I might add) pic I've had to edit .... hence the smilie face lines early in compo.

Yes Hank that's fine

Though don't forget the OcUK!!!!

Jokester absolutely not that would be tantamount to cheating!

PS: any moob shots will have points deducted!
