WHERE THE H HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!

I had no idea that such a sweet beer would be to my liking. It would have made young adulthood even sketchier than it was

They make a lot of different lambic flavors besides raspberry. All of them are anywhere from good to excellent. The peche / peach and pomme / apple are yummy too.

When you feel in need of an extra kick to start the evening off I've found that replacing the soda water with a shot of gin works well!
(I also quite like Aperol spritz made with a dry rosé fizz rather than prosecco)

To be followed by lamb shoulder with green beans and a bottle of Langhe Nebbiolo. Cheers everyone!

A Bründlmayer Extra Brut Sekt from Kamptal. I don't always get on with German and Austrian Sekt as it can be either a bit sweet or face puckeringly sour, but this is delicious. At ~€25 it's not cheap but fair value.

I've never had the 2002, but I've had 3 bottles of the 2000 and it is the best value in Champagne that we've found so far. Just a fantastic wine.
