Belringer is meant to be 6.5abv, when last brewed. But came out a bit stronger. Non regulars were not able to handle it, a few incidents in the pubs after 3 or 4 pints

They were Guinness' short-lived foray into craft brewing.[/quote:x9b65xpv]Yes, and I think I still have a glass to prove it. I remember they were available in only a few bars, so myself and n1mbus went into The Duke (I think) and tried them all in one night. There were tasting forms which we filled in for them, popping them into a box on the bar, and as a result were invited to St. James's Gate for a "Brewers Tasting Evening" where you could chat to the brewers, taste new beers called X, Y and Z, and then got a free bar with the Jazz Band playing and grub being passed around. On leaving for the free shuttle bus back into the city centre we got presented with wooden St. James's Gate pens (which I no longer have). It was a bloody good night, but to be honest, I don't remember what the beers tasted like! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
