I've hardly been at home this week, so I haven't had a chance to update the blog until now. I have a bit of spare time now because I'm ill, but I managed to struggle out of bed to write this.
Liefmans Cuvée-Brut (Belgium)
I've already had a bad experience with fruit flavoured beers (see Wells Banana Bread Beer, 2nd January 2012), so I was a little skeptical about this. The label says "flavoured with cherries", but should say "tastes like cherries". But that's not a bad thing, I like cherries, and I have to say that this was delicious. I'm not sure I would call it beer, but I would definitely recommend it if you can find it.
Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock (Germany)
I think all of those fancy German words mean "rather nice bitter". Apparently this stuff is made in the world's oldest brewery, so they certainly know what they're doing.
Bitter And Twisted (Scotland)
The Scots are good at some things: making whisky, domestic violence and wearing manskirts, to name a few. And now it seems they can make beer too. Och aye!
Oh man, I love this blog. Do you think you could embed a counter on the site, in order for us to know how far you are on your rather ambitious journey to taste all those 1001 beers?
ReplyDeleteNow I don't know any Scotsmen so I can't really judge them (whether or not they are good at wearing skirts or beating up their family), but I have to agree: gotta love Bitter & Twisted! Probably the best-named beer, too.
Perttu
A good idea. Let's see what I can do...
