Way back in the thread I think Mr Tea was a bit dismissive of Belgian beers. They are undoubtedly my favourite though, this one included.
Update:Current belgian favourite:
...specialist offies...
If anyone can point me in the direction of any of these (especially in London) I would be delighted. None of my local offies stock much apart from cooking lager (i.e. Fosters/Carling/Stella) and cheap wine, and the limited range of ales they do have are refrigerated to the point of tastelessness. I'd rather buy it off a shelf than from a fridge, then I can chill it as necessary (i.e. for a an hour or two, and not for weeks), instead of waiting for it to warm up.
For those of you with a nearby Sainsbury's, they're doing a 'Great British Beer Hunt' which has a few interesting-looking things in it at 3 for £5. (Oddly, they don't seem to have any official website about it, the ninnies.) I have not bought any yet but may well do so this weekend. That said, I have had the Golden Seahawk before and can vouch for it.
Utobeer on Borough Market is the really obvious one. I dunno where you live, but if you're ever in North, Highbury Vintners have some nice stuff, the offie opposite Jai Krishna on Stroud Green Road is really good, and I haven't been there but Kris Wines between Camden and Holloway seems to have a fairly ridiculous selection.If anyone can point me in the direction of any of these (especially in London) I would be delighted.
