It's not...Premium lager is the sector to be in. It's not like there's any competition there or anything. <br /><br />How about the theory that Porter became the default term for the stuff on the Continent because it's easier to pronounce? I remember trying to order a stout in Belgium and the waitress, on figuring out what I meant, exclaimed "Ah!

Just what you need on a Wendesday.<br />Does anyone see A Le Coq Porter for sale? The last I saw of Le Coq they were trying to focus on the 'premium lager' market. Had a look at their web page: it looks like the professional beer marketeers have got hold of the company and the product line is going to shit. The stout and pale ale have gone.<br />Legend has it that Albert Le Coq establishe his Estonian brewery in order to be close to the Russian market - counterfeit beer was being sold under his name.StuartPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748038209546648459noreply@blogger.com
