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.Muppet the Cat wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 6:00 pm Only one beer to be on yesterday evening…….a Batemans ‘Victory Ale’

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

Re: Your Pint of choice this evening
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.Muppet the Cat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2026 6:31 pm Perhaps you shouldn't have booked the Hotel RAF Akrotiri, Cussie.......did you check Tripadvisor![]()
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.CUSSIE01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2026 7:32 pm 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.

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

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.

The Ypra is a lovely blond beer.
Interesting selection there. Obviously know the Tribute but not the other 2.

Re: Your Pint of choice this evening
Yes, tbh not beers I'd choose myself (the person who bought me them won't be visiting MOT, so no hurt feelings
