Leuven, or Louvain, as I knew it when I lived and worked there, is a most beautiful little town, but you would be better off chosing a beer from one of their numerous small, independent breweries. Incidentally, the Stella sold in Belgium is not a patch on the Stella Artois with which you are probably familiar in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 He’s got the ‘open to work’ filter on his picture that suggests he’s not got anything lined up. Could all change though. Have heard someone from Exeter Chiefs could be coming in, but be nice if a ‘big’ name aligned with Pearson previously came in for a bit of buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all about the Jupiler in Belgium tbh Having worked in Ypres in Belgium for about 9 months. I had the luxury of tasting many different Belgium Lagers/Beers . Some strong as well. Wouldn’t say no to either the Stella or Jupiler. But the Jupiler ended up being my favourite. Apologies DaveFevs for going off topic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Rolls but a Humvee. ‘Primarily used by the United States military, it is also used by numerous other countries and organizations and even in civilian adaptations.

LondonBristolian Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm getting massively confused at the moment. I've just realised that Dave Rennie is not, as I had assumed, Dave Rennie. It was only last week that I found out that Steve Walsh was not actually Steve Walsh. It would help me a lot if Pearson could steer away from employing or being linked with anyone else who shares their name with a 90s footballer. Could someone ITK pass that memo on?

deadredfred Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Stayed in a hostel on a school trip to Ypres circa 2001. The guy called Frank that ran the whole place (which was like something from a horror film) also ran the bar at night. We were 16 but the teachers wanted to get on it as much as we did, so let us have a few. Frank used to get pissed too, and would end up giving you more change back than money you’d given him, so we were being paid to drink. Win Pretty sure the beer was called freedom pils and taste fairly terrible but was quite strong? Ring any bells for the Belgian beer buffs amongst you?! Apologies for thread derail but I’ve been thinking on and off about this for about 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
