Franziskaner for me, too. I never understood how Weißbier can be schwarz. It is currently on sale at the supermarket of my least confidence.

St. Peter‘s Ruby Red
This is a good one. Smooth taste, great colour, goes down well. Relatively low alcohol content.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, though I haven’t abandoned the pub or stopped drinking! Tonight’s selection at The Bandstand and the rather magnificent Kelburn Porter.
Cheers,

Last night at the Bitter Suite.
Darling Buds wasn’t as hoppy as I had hoped. Also tried the pilsner - I’m not a lager drinker - which had plenty of flavour but was served much too cold.

Grimbergen Blonde. Ubiquitous and seemingly a dominant brand in French supermarkets despite being Belgian. Beer isn’t a French strong point so I’m happy to be drinking this cheap and full bodied blonde (the Blanche is also good). In the Ile de Re sun.

Officially a lager, but surely the most un-lager like beer I’ve ever tried.
Toasted grains, and with a lovely nutty taste, the perfect accompaniment to one of Dave’s world famous homemade burgers.

Queenslanders stopped drinking xxxx a long time ago the brewery was taken over by an interstate brewer. Not sure if it’s even available anymore damn horrible stuff.
Bierschmiede - Zunder Rauchbier, Austria
The best smoked beer I know. Unlike all the others, it doesn’t taste like roofing felt.

Are you sure you don’t live in France, HH?
Just spent a week in Dordogne followed by a week on Ile de Re. 4th year we’ve done that combo. C’est magnifique.
