Last week it was Leffe week at my favourite pub.

Leffe 9° remains the best one. ~

As the nights are closing in, I've been drinking some darker beers recently. One of my autumn staples is Wychwood Hobgoblin, a wonderful, smoulderingly fruity strong dark ale. If you like some of the darker Belgians, you'll love this. Great advertising too-

Another beer I sampled which I've been meaning to get hold of for a long time is Thomas Hardy Ale. At 11.7% ABV it's an interesting proposition-it tastes almost port-like, but has a very heavy mouthfeel at the same time.

On the topic of ales, I've been drinking this recently:

If you are feeling adventurous;

It's a lambic, beer riped in oak, which sour aroma tastes weird enough on it's own, but add some sour cheries and it becomes a Kriek. Personally I think it's delicious, great with dinner, summer or winter always great.

Looks ... out of my price range.

Had a tour in the Stella brewer yesterday. Afterwards we could taste and got a course on how to pour beer in to glasses. Course we were pretty enthousiastic and ended up drinking quite a bit. Afterwards we had a Cantus, first time I went drunk to a cantus and even leaving more sober. Then I went to the pub.

And well today I know for sure that yes you can get tired of drinking the same beer. No more artois for me anymore the first few weeks.
Why don't they have Jupiler in the pubs over here? I hate Maes.
