Champagne or beer?

Wandering around Tesco in Hatfield last weekend, I found a bottle of Leffe Blonde/Blond Belgian beer, with a champagne-type cork, complete with metal basket.
Today is Friday, so it’s time to open it. And it’s great, with a flavour that only comes with Belgian beer.
I have told you about my theory that the Belgians have had one over on us?
You know how boring the place is, don’t you? I think it’s a conspiracy so they can keep hold of their great food, chocolate and beer!
The Belgians truly do keep a lot of the best to themselves but the Brits are not too shabby themselves… Woodford’s Norfolk Nip is excellent. Also in Belgium, try some of the Trappists — Orval, Westvleteren, Westmalle, Chimay…
