I hear that Ghost Scorpion lager is interesting...  whistle:

Well it's random.   Every birthday and Crimbo Mrs K gets me a random selection of international beers and a crate full of about 8 each of my known favourite ones (Peroni Red, Quilmes and VB)

Beers of Europe is the normal supplier and currently they don't do Ghost Scorpion (which is lucky as it sounds a bit of a challenge)

Seems London Pride has been sold to Asahi   rubschin:  Have drunk a fair bit of Asahi but IIRC never drunk London pride so no loss to me

Random international beer of the day tonight is the ever reliable but unexciting Moosehead from Canada

So how about Maple Syrup beer from Canada?



Well I got some today via France (got to do these things before you know what happens) and I'd say listable because it certainly has a lot of flavour.  On the other hand Mrs K tried it and said "that's disgusting"
