Fat-Ferret 857 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I have tried St Sixtus, it is a fantastic beer, definitely one of my favourites... It's good to see the uptake in craft beer recently and people starting to see the nonsense that is churned out by diageo and the likes is nothing but utter muck!! Budweiser is made from rice, and coors light is made from dextrose... That should you all you need to know about commercial beer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's lots of great beer/ real ale being produced in England & it always baffles me why it isn't supported more.....how anyone would rather drink Stella or some other piss is a mystery to me..... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morton 5,369 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Anybody ever tried the beer from St sixtus abbey in Belgium? I'm just opening a bottle... Often referred to as one of the best. 30 phone calls to place an order, a massive journey looking for a hidden abbey with no signs, turn up at the appointed time and the monks may or may not have a wooden crate of unmarked bottles waiting for you... 12 percent The beer that as won more rewards than any other,Timothy Taylors Landlord,im not putting this forward as im from Keighley,ive tasted beer all over Britain,Europe and Australia,the Australians have some sorted brews,the Europeans have many more,England as the best and Landlord is as good as you can brew it,nuff said. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,862 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) It's a different thing to the Belgium beers, landlord is good but it doesn't have anywhere near the complex flavours as the Belgium beers. Landlord and other real ales are for drinking in the English style ie. Pints of the stuff over the course of a night, session beers. It comes from working in the pits and foundries when men would drink gallons of weaker beers. I like landlord though, it seems to be becoming lost among thousands of real ales now being produced, a shame cos it can compete with any of em Edited May 10, 2015 by DIDO.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,935 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's better than Tennants and Belhaven lab :-) Can't be better than Tennents lager..... Only thing the monks have made that's any good is, as Mal has mentioned, the famous Tonic Wine. A gift from the monks.... You ever tried Benedictine liqueur mate? Awesome, my areas history from WW1 Cheers, D. PS, OP 12% aint beer, its wine LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
