You're going to crack open a bottle of Hennessy for the Leinster game? Actually, for once, I'm impressed! :shock:

Any idea what the local brew is in and around Toulouse? any local concoctions to be wary of - usually come in small glasses smelling slightly like petrol (no Harry potter jokes please :) )?

I hope they have that Biere de Volcanes stuff - it's focking dynamite!

Absinthe is legal over there isn't it? If not, get someone to pick up a few bottles in Spain and we'll have the "trip" of a lifetime in Toulouse.

Leinsterman - that stuff is nasty. . . .If I can get my hands on it here, the best beer has to be SPEIGHTS, brewed in the South Island of New Zealand. . not readibly avaliable though so normally its the Black stuff.

Must get Apple Souze to pack the Keilys cocktail menu .. has the ingrediants for the Die Hard Brennans (amongst other poison). . .but then again no menu needed - Trevor said hed make us a 'proper' one in his own pub.


Might bring a bottle of Red Aftershock. . .always a winner. . .

Absolutely Absinthe is lethal - hence the reason for getting my paws on it.

Red Aftershock - not too bad..... I'm sure we can bring over some equally nasty filth to get totalled on.

Flatliners are great - tequila ina shot glass - half filled, hen a line of Tabasco sauce, topped off with Sambucca - yummy!!!! Guaranteed to bring a tear to many peoples' eyes. :lol:

Have to agree with sheepshagger. Speights from Dunedin. It's the Pride of the South and a gold medal winner as well.

I would like to point out that that Polish "beer" gives you a helluva throbbing head the following morning. No wonder they drink voddie the whole time..... :oops:

Leinsterman,

If you see a Polish beer called Strong, check it out. It's around 9% and does exactly what it says on the tin. I had two pints of it before in Poland and was in bits.

Strong eh? Excellent - another top beer is Aventinus - German Dunkelbrau - 9% as well and blows the head off you.

I can't even remember what the hell I was drinking in Bath. Pride I think..... then back to Guinness for the sunday....... I think..... :oops:

Must look that up when i'm in Antwerp next month. Although i will probably stick to Duvel. Palm is quite nice too.

Ruck? You going to Antwerp? Drop me a PM if you need any tips, I lived there for 5 years. Fockin brilliant place. You won't get much Palm, the local brew is De Koninck- which you order in Flemish as a "bollock".....I shoite thee not! Duvel is brewed in Breendonck just South of Antwerp - its ok, but a bit metallic in my book and its known for its hangover..... :cry:

yup, going over there in march for a stag party. we're ok for tips - Pascal from MF.com is joining us :D i've no idea where we're staying, just gave him the details and he said it's even more dodgy than the place we stayed in brussells last year. (the place had no first floor, the buttons were even removed from the elevators too :lol: ). aparently it was used for money laundering.

and i certainly ain't putting a bollock in my mouth, that's ladyboy territory there :lol:
