I love Belgian beer. I once had a rant at a startled American in a bar in New York because he said "but Belgians only drink Stella, right?". @Disco down under might correct me but I've never seen a Belgian drinking Stella, although I have seen them drinking that horrible Jupiler stuff.
German is good too.

Never seen a Spaniard drinking Madri either. Produced for the Heineken dominated British market. For example, Staropramen brewed in Prague is unrecognisably better than the version brewed in Burton-on-Trent. Thank God for Craft beers

I love spiced rum and also vanilla vodka with coke, you’re right it’s too late before you realise your legs don’t work. I’m gonna try the JD and cinnamon after reading this. I don’t like lager so can’t comment on Belgian beer cos the look of it puts me off.

If you don't like lager then I bet you'll love a lot of Belgian beer. There are so many styles, the Trappist ales are beautiful, the Abbey beers are nice, then there's lambic and gueze. There are loads of independent breweries producing lots of different traditional Belgian styles.

Not sure I've even tasted a Belgian beer before mate. Since I hit 50 I've started on the spiced rum instead of beer, until I tried jack Daniels fire with cinnamon in, oh my god bit of coke in doesn't even taste of alcohol. Recipe for disaster, just end up comatosed

Belgian beer is the best. That’s something me and Prehab actually agree on

Amen to that. I love Czech beers too! And there are some really nice Polish ones too.

Aye I was gonna ask if any of them taste like our ales or bitters. I only ever see lager looking imported beer so presumed it was like lager. Cheers

They've got a character of their own. A lot of them are quite strong. Some of the easily available ones are nice. Duvel is available in most supermarkets. It's a strong golden ale but a lot of people confuse it for a lager and serve it cool. It's better at room temperature in my opinion.

I’m gonna have to try some now. So when it say’s ‘foreign’ beer it’s not lager like I’m presuming? This sounds thick but I’m 56 and haven’t tried them cos of my hatred of lager. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Diplomatico Reserve is a quality rum as well. @Peterleeyacker recommends this.

I’ll try it, thanks TLT, i find most mainstream (capt morgan, Havana, bacardi) spiced rum are just rum with far too much vanilla added, to the point it’s all you can taste. Prefer the ones that have a varied spiced taste, Chairmans smells like Christmas in a glass.

I’ve found chairman’s spiced and chairman’s spiced original. Canny difference in price, which do you recommend.
