Sure, a crisp pilsener or a clean IPA is usually what you want when the summer really sets in. A hefeweissen, perhaps. No smoked bocks or chocolate overdosesAn alternative is to go for one of the classics. It does not come in champagne bottles like its upmarket siblings. You don’t have to go to a dingy back street bar and mumble a password to get it, either. In Brussels, you get a fourpack for 5 Euros or so.
Canned Rodenbach. Sweet and sour. As refreshing as it gets. Who needs Campari?
People who can’t get Rodenbach in a can need Campari.
What a stupid system of beer distribution I have to live with. If there is Rodenbach in a can in the world, I should be able to buy it.
Thanks for ruining my day.
It always makes me laugh when I’m in Brussels to see beers being sold in six-packs in crappy supermarkets that, in London, are sold as rare and expensive imports. Never tried canned Rodenbach, but canned Brugs works perfectly well — arguably better than in a bottle.
Ahhh Belgium beer … is there any problem it can’t solve.
I share your frustrations Alan – I can’t get it here either!
I don’t get it either – the can was bought in Belgium.
