Perfect choice! There is an excellent brewery in Philadelphia called "Victory Brewing Company"- they make one of the best pilsners "Prima Pils" and I almost went out to get some after the big win yesterday. :) :beers:

I have a similar problem.... The military seem to be staging a mock attack on some poor country... I have Apache and Chinooks flying overhead all the time, and huge "booms" from Salisbury plane.... I do live on the edge of the bloody place, and Teeny ~Weeny HQ is 8 miles up the road....
Hopelessly lost.................. But making good time

It got great reviews Cat, close to the airport, nightly fireworks, multicultural society, Iranian, Russian, Chinese & the promise of seeing a British warship as soon as Donald Trump wins the war & they finish the repairs. What’s not to love.
Joking aside its a lovely place so far, friendly people, good food, beer & wine & 27 degrees today 🔥

I remember when we went there, a few years ago now, it was very hot......with the only respite being a trip up into the Troodos Mountains for the day.

I think today’s temp was a one off, it’s to cool down over the next few days.

Although, hopefully not for breakfast, Evan ……….I’d think a bowl of cereal is more appropriate ;-)

Very nice dopplebock from Paulaner. Not quite as good as my favorite dopplebock- Ayinger's Celebrator.

Evening Cat.
So finally got the blond/blonde question answered from the Belgian beer shop man.
Blond is flemish.
Blonde is french.
He said most signs there are in both.

Well he does a Jupiler blond which I love (6%) and thought I picked that up but obviously not.
The Ypra is a lovely blond beer.
Interesting selection there. Obviously know the Tribute but not the other 2.

Yes, tbh not beers I'd choose myself (the person who bought me them won't be visiting MOT, so no hurt feelings :) ) and the box also included a bottle of St. Austell 'Proper Job' which is proper disgusting stuff, so that went straight down the sink.....tbf though, the 'Betty Stogs' is not bad.
