The Real Deal

Bought in France 9 months ago and like sweet nectar to the lips (unlike that knock off shite they brew in Burton).

Just had a read about the brewing process, sounds utterly sublime, and if I can sample that whilst on my travels soon I'll definitely savour it for a nice relaxed evening! 🍻

Dad is known to get mortal for one night only on his travels 😈 Every year without fail I end up getting paralytic, missus moaning, kids asking mum if I'm drunk 🤣 I'm perfectly sane 364 days of the year guysssss just having my blow out! 🍻

Honestly if I can get hold of this in Mallorca it's game over, I can taste it already 🍻
 
I had a few of them and some Brune one night and apparently my niece and nephew were quite worried as I laid on the concrete in the back garden staring at the stars and asked "is the world really round or is what I see reality?". It's still the joke that keeps coming back several years later.

In Mallorca, not a chance, but why would you. What you really want, assuming you can get it, is:

You can make it and brune pretty easily.

You need a beer kit.

You also need to make candy sugar. There are many recipes online, but you are essentially cracking the sugar. Then use that with the beer kit to make Leffe Blonde.

If you want to make Leffe Brune (or something near to it) instead of using candy suagr, use black molasses sugar and overdo it. I usually ferment mine for a couple of weeks, but I like it fizzy. What comes out is very near to Leffe.

No idea for Leffe Ruby. I prefer the original and don't try to make my own. It's a highlight of heading across the channel.

I was once very very drunk on Belgian beers, many years ago,I eventually fell into a deep wet snowdrift and had to be dug out by equally smashed friends. Couldn't work the next day, others covered me, I sat with sunglasses and 2 coats on holding a clipboard and mumbling useful things like "its gunna snow again soon" & "water... water" randomly.

I haven't touched the stuff since. 8)

I was meant to be Assistant Director of a doc second unit at the time, second unit films the stuff the first unit is too snobby to do; establishing shots, extra cut aways, aunties garden, the factory office , boring quick setups etc. First unit has a big name Director who was great, ours was always drunk or chasing girls, when I was hungover that once he had to work, that pissed him off!
