Personalised beer glasses is a lost art it seems.[/quote:1n5uj0fr]Yeah, I heard he hasn't been working on the glasses, and there's 5 or 6 waiting to be engraved at this stage.

Kronenbourg Blanc. Mmmmm. I had this in Peter's Pub first. Was very tasty as I recall.

Ch'ti, Kronenbourg Blanc, the La Trappe one and Tesco Finest are about all I can think of and I don't remember any of them in B&C. Mind you, I don't recall seeing Hoegaarden either. I'm not the most observant of punters sometimes.[/quote:2uvx6yf9]

I'm pretty sure Ch'ti Blanc and Tesco FDinest are the same beer. I'm not crazy on La Trappe Blanc, pity because I look their other beers. Kronenbourg Blanc is only ok, IMHO. Maybe I just don't like wits, although I do like Hoegaarden and Oscar Wilde (I'm aware that's the second time I made what is essentialy the one joke, but I do feel I deserved more than a groan for the first time)

No way. The Tesco one has much more flavour than Ch'ti Blanc.

I know Watou have a nice wit available in Ireland, but I think Hoegaarden is the only one in the B&C.

I dislike both for the same reason so I can see where Wobbler is coming from.

My nomination for World's Greatest Wit goes to Blanche de Wissant.
