Beer (and I do mean proper beer)
-
A few years ago there was a beer that was sold in bottles and on tap, with a particular fruity flavour (redolent of pears). I am sure that the image had a kingfisher in the picture. I cannot find it anywhere (pub or suprmarket), nor can I remember the name. Anyone in the UK know the one I mean?

To rule out the obvious, you're not talking about the Indian Kingfisher[^] beer???
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant

Poacher's Choice (now called The Cranborne Poacher) perhaps? Although that's more damson than pear. If you're after a fruity flavour, you can't go wrong with a Titanic Plum Porter. :)

It can't be a proper beer if it tastes like fruit!

In the Netherlands there is an "IJsvogel" distillery, but I don't think they sell beer: IJsvogel.com – De lekkerste ambachtelijke jenevers uit Limburg![^] The southeast region of Limburg is worth a visit though :-\

I dunno - look at wines that have hints of grapefruit, tobacco, and tarmac (if you believe wine snobs). I'm currently drinking a coffee that has notes of chocolate and blackberry.

"Ice chicken"? As for the Limberg region, just don't ask about the cheese there. Monty Python - Cheese Shop - YouTube[^]
Good one, can't remember seeing that sketch, and believe I never had any Limburg cheese either :-\

You are f*^^&^g delluded. UK beer is the best in the world. One of my locals, the Railway Inn, great music, has it's own brewery in the cellar! And that isnt unusual. The only good Belgium beer is Stella, the rest is toxic gloop that makes you feel sick the instant you drink it.

But these are natural flavours that come out of certain grapes. Fruit beers actually have fruit added to them. (And you no more need to be a snob to appreciate the subtlety of wine than the subtlety of curry. ;) )

Well, the Dutch word "vogel" means bird, so that would be a possibility I guess :doh: But for the real IceChicken look here: IceChicken-Dev | YACOUB Automation GmbH[^]

:) It is a weird name for a beer. Our related word is 'fowl' by the way. As always V and F interchange between Dutch and English, and the further west you go through Vlanderen the softer the g gets, so genough ends up enough in English, pronounced enuf. Our languages are very close, and there are many consistent patterns. Such as Midge, mug, bridge, brug, ridge, rug etc.

Clearly you have no idea about any Belgian beer. Stella is considered one of the worst beers here (and I'm coming from the city it's brewed from AND my wife worked for the company), so if you like that kind of sewage water, yeah I guess you find UK beer good.

I'd appreciate a little more politeness please, ...
