Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 04:21 Thu 8/14/2014 BeNeLux: Not heard or used so much this day and age but older posters will know what I am on about. The trade/border agreement between Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. Did you know you can still get a BeNeLux rail pass at a very good price even now. Anyway Your mini task is to add the three countries total rates together. Belgium 492 Netherlands 74 Luxembourg 22 (makes me = 11th in Lux ratings) Grand total 588 (with a mini backlog and more bottles in my stash to rate). Of my total rates = 17% <*))))))><
Message tommann P beers 7123 º places 33 º 04:53 Thu 8/14/2014 269 beers in total so 10%. Had nothing from Luxembourg, so that would make me bottom of ratings. Oh well. I want more lambic.

Message leaparsons beers 12356 º places 11 º 05:43 Thu 8/14/2014 Belgium - 573 Netherlands - 151 Luxembourg - 1 9% of total. Used to drink a lot more Belgian beer before the UK scene exploded.

Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40515 º places 1239 º 06:17 Thu 8/14/2014 Belgium - 375 NL - 218 Lux - 0 7.42% Used to do long weekends in Belgium in the early/mid 00’s on a regular basis and have also been to Luxembourg. All pre rating days so guess my Belgian total in reality would be around the 1K mark. Interestingly over a quarter of my Benelux ratings come from just 2 breweries! De Molen and Struise.
Message Jow P beers 7344 º places 487 º 07:33 Thu 8/14/2014 120 or approx 6%

Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 11:21 Thu 8/14/2014 The Luxembourg beer scene and breweries are very low key, rather than lean towards their Belgian neighbours and strong interesting beers they tend to produce soft unimpressive lager/pilsner styled brews more like some of the German Saarland guys just across the Mosel. I would struggle to really recommend any Lux beer to be honest. I have such a high(ish) total because I visit a mate who lives there; occasionally. <*))))))><
Message berkshirejohn P beers 9773 º places 291 º 09:48 Fri 8/15/2014 Belgium 119 Netherlands 43 Luxembourg 2 164/4433=3.7% I used to work in Amsterdam in my pre-RB days, so my Netherlands score is disappointingly low.
