    Berliner Kindl Weisse Bier.

    I haven't costed it, but it's cheap and tasty in Berlin. The label features a baby peeking out of a stein jug. Odd.

    I tried a port chaser with a weissebier last Saturday night. Doesn't work. Schnapps does, but that way ruin lies.......

    I like a good Port too - at a young age my Dad taught me to always pass the decanter to my left.

    I'm not accustomed to drinking Port chilled, although I see it is suggested for a trendy Rose Port available here.

    Good ole Mother's Ruin, that's a nice drink - my Dad always claimed that Holland Gin was good for a sore back!

    I have a supply of this beer which is rather good - 6.8%, so you have to watch your intake, but unfortunately it appears that our government run liquor corporation is dumping it - only a few bottles left in our province, at a much reduced price.

    Why are they ditching it Kilburn, because of the alcohol content? If so, we're not the only one with a nanny state then. Stella here has gone from it's original 5.4% when it was brewed in Belgium, to 5.0% and now at it's current 4.8%, which bears no resemblance to the original brew.

    My Father-in-law was from Glasgow, so used to visit Scotland frequently when he was alive. He had a holiday home at Gourock. Really partial to Belhaven when I was up there
