Belgium & the Czech Republic are basically beer heaven, though perhaps not the next day.. I never visited this establishment, but, having just 'Googled' it, I note it used to be a brothel!

Nope, much more connection with the fact it has a menu of 120 beers, 40 different ones, served in single, double or triple strength.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? What? Really? Steve Walsh is not Steve Walsh? Wow. I never knew either. I had a feeling Dave Rennie wasn't Dave Rennie but the Walsh one is news to me. Just glad Nigel Pearson is 'the Nigel Pearson' and not a different one like the on Talk Sport. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 17 hours ago, Davefevs said: Absolutely fine. Renember going to Belgos (The Granary for you oldies, Loch Fyne for you youngsters) and deciding to choose from their extensive list of beers by alcohol percentage - highest first. Had about 3 (not even pints) and felt decidedly pissed….albeit didn’t cost me much. Used to like the old Gold Label Barley Wine (10%) stuff back in the say. Also, reminds me of my bruv and mine beer mat collection. Carry on, carry on. God, is the Granary now a Belgos? I've been to the original in London, Moules Frites and something I've never heard of to drink, which is the beer equivalent of jet fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
