Message RichTheVillan beers 10685 º places 101 º 22:00 Fri 5/31/2013 Originally posted by SarkyNorthener Originally posted by RichTheVillan The POV was the Royal Mail, and it gets really crowded don’t think it fit our bus party in, people do pay 25 for a Westy 12 I’ve witnessed it. What would you say is a fair price for a bottle of westy 12. I know how much it costs at source. But I know one day I am going to have to try it. But I have convinced myself it cant be as good as a Rochefort 8 or 10. Rochefort 8 gives it a decent fight, I’ve paid 10 euros for one from Belgium in a Box, P&P can be prohibitive but spread accross a few bottles, its not to bad.

I have a bottle 12 and a bunch of 8 if you want me to bring either along on the day?

However they didn’t have them in the cellar

Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 04:54 Sat 6/1/2013 Originally posted by SarkyNorthener I will buy you a beer and a packet of Black Country Pork scratchings. One "interesting" fact I learned a while back was that, however they were branded, nearly all the packaged pork scratchings in the UK were made by one producer in Wednesfield - or was it Wednesbury, I forget. That was a few years back so things may have changed a bit now that they are in vogue and artisanal versions abound.

My father in law always as a few packs open on his table in the pub for communal feeding. Bit of Black country tradition. I don’t really like them but always end up eating them for some reason. I believe they are mostly made up the road from me in Wednesbury.
