A most bizarre event!

Sheddy:
Leffe is one of the best beers in the world and personally I do not consider it expensive at all.  

Beer is like advertising.

Is a £1,000,000 advert expensive?
Is a 10p advert expensive?

If you spend £1m on an advert and sell £1b worth of goods, then that was a cheap advert.  Conversly, if you spend 10p on an advert and sell nothing then that advert was expensive.

When you buy a pint of Leffe you get a real beer which has been crafted out of the finest ingredients and which has a deep flavour, good colour and a delightful smell.  It also has a good alchohol content.  It is a joy to smell, view, drink and savour.  One of the finest drinking experiences available.

Budweiser, Fosters, castlemane and many of the mass produced chemical brews are shallow by comparison.

Leffe expensive?  Not compared with what your money buys with the others on the market.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:

--- Quote from: "Bunnie" ---indeed id have spoken to the land lord...

but out of pure intrest can i know which pub it was?

i can understand them saying after like 4/5 or what ever 'i'm sorry sir, i am refusing to serve you because your drunk'... or something along those lines.

we serve scrumpy cider @ 7.3 %! leffee is only 6.6!

i will agree with the expensive bit tho.

It was a pub in Kent, one of the Beefeater chain. But to carry out more research into the demonic world of Leffe, tomorrow I travel to France. I shall acquire more exotic examples and test them thoroughly. I shall report back!
On my last visit to France, I found a beer called Quack, 10% proof. Verrrry nice, and It certainly did make me quack!
Mind you, for the ultimate beer, drink Bush :shock:  12% and it is like Special Brew on steroids. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice if drunk cold, the beer that is, not the person drinking it.
I shall go now and prepare for my cross channel trip. Tally Ho! Chocks away, back in time for tea and medals, hurrah!

Bishops Finger:
errr Leffe is Belgian :lol:

CJ:
When we used to run a bar the brewery company who supported us had a ruling on some very strong ales (talkin 14% here) and meads, that the were only allowed to be served in halfs ?? dont know why??

Leffe is weak by most belgian standards, go to the beer festaval, youll find some gorgeous ales and beers, some right up to 20%  :twisted:


drink responsibly

piggysteve:
When I were a lad the local sold bitter in halves cos the landlord reckoned that you drank more. One swallow nearly gone better have another please, I think he was right.
