This one is just right. I've had loads bought over in the past, should have taken pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 We get the Flensburger bottles and they are nice, but they're only 330ml and cost the same as the 500ml imports. Small bottles fall down when you're entertaining heavy drinkers. You've got to have 500ml for them or it's beer shelf annihilation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 My mom's fella brought some over, it's hard to explain, I'm not sure what I was expecting with a hint of sea salt, what does that entail? Firstly it's nice, it's a right drop but then moretti is also my favourite UK (!) beer It's almost like the difference between bud and bud light where it tastes almost watered down, it's lighter than normal moretti, more summery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boulevard started operations in Kansas City about 35 years ago while I was living there. Some friends and I were somewhat regular at a bit of traditional midwest neighborhood tavern that served only the big, corporate flavorless American lagers until they started a tap of Boulevard Pale. We were about the only ones ordering it at first, so the bartender would keep refilling us and only charged us for every other one because the keg was going to go bad before it sold out anyway. Fond memories. They've become known and available pretty widely in the U.S., but I'm still surprised to see it make its way to Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have a state monopoly on selling booze in store but that is one thing they excel at, not being tied to a corporate budget and shareholding, they really have a exceptional assortment of beers, 4443 different ones when I checked right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking online and debating whether to place an order for a mix of different beers from around the world. Something a bit odd about ordering drinks online though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I had a spaten last night inspired by seeing it here! Smooth, very drinkable, tasted clean with hardly any gas so as a sunshine session beer I can imagine you'd be able to pack a few away unfortunately I'd also say it's a bit on the bland side in a busy market, worth a drink but not shouting anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait until it moves to the discount pile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
