Christophe Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Here it is, the final of the World Cup of Beer sees two massive beer nations go head to head for glory... The Belgium starting line-up... Their final addition is the 6.7% blonde ale...GRIMBERGEN! They are up against Germany fielding... And their final addition... the 5% dunkel...AYINGER ALTBAIRISCH DUNKEL!

Guest Pampered Adolescent Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Your selections are totally pish. For Belgium, with some balance, try: Jupiler, your cooking (& not wife-beating) lager. Orval as your Trappist. Blanche de Namur as your wheat beer Saison de Silly as your Saison (farmhouse beer). Duvel as your strong, golden ale. Triple d'Anvers (de Koninck) as your Triple. Cantillon Gueuze Lambic as your Gueuze. Whilst for Germany: Fuerstenberg as your regular pils. Diebels Alt as your Alt. Schlernkerla as your smoked bier. Frueh as your Koelsch. Dortmunder Export for your Export. Weihenstephan for your Dunkles-weiss (dark wheat). Schneider-Weiss Tap 6 (Aventinus) for your Weizen-bock (strong wheat). These 14 beers represent the complete variety of both countries, and, are not some populist w**k-shite. TBF, the public have voted for the best two beer nstions in the World Cup. Should Scotland ever qualify, would you run s World Cup of Whisky? Cheers PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Belgium v Germany in beer is always a hard choice. But you're only as good as you're weakest link. Belgium fielding Stella decided it for me. Germany it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I've been thinking that Scotland would do quite well in this. Just off the top of my head we could field; Punk IPA Joker St Mungo's Bearface Isle of Arran Schiehallion Corncrake Birds and Bees 7 Giraffes There are loads more I'm forgetting. We truly do have some excellent beers in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Belgium: Früli, a Strawberry white beer. Lovely stuff. They used to sell it on tap in The Bobbin in Aberdeen Germany: Fruh Kölsch. Similar branding to the above but a very different beer. They used to sell this in Asda and Tesco over here. Sadly no longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
