Chelsea14Ian Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Glad you made it.We popped up last Tuesday just before going into tier 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ian, I think you might have misread the post. I think Howard is still upt North lamenting the fact he would rather be in Reedham purchasing some Christmas goodies. Hoppy Christmas Gold does sound interesting though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I know it's no fun gloating but it is soo nice (even at this time) to be within walking distance of Norfolk :) Though this part of suffolk is amazing too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I find myself remembering the poor fellow who fell into a cess pit, shouting up to his rescuers...

NorfolkNog Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi Ian yes, MT was right, I was shedding a tear because I can't get my hands on any! Both the Christmas Crack and the Christmas Crackling are superb - not tried the Hoppy Christmas but would love to have the chance. The Christmas Crack is dangerously drinkable - you should have seen me last year after the HD open day........ But sadly in spite of my hints HD don't do mail order - many breweries do including another favourite of mine up here - Mallinsons of Huddersfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 You do realise Liz has an open door policy at her house, show up with beer and she'll open the door Honestly you lot, no wonder Carole is such a lush with all this talk of booze I so hope you get your Broads and beer fix soon Mr N, in the mean time I wish you and Mrs N a lovely Christmas x 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Aw, thanks Grace. This Forum really is the friendly one - a very kind member (you know who you are) very kindly offered to pick up some of the beer from Reedham until we are down next. Problem is it wont keep for very long and I think here in flat cap land we are going to be in the high tiers for a good while yet so it will be a long time before we can travel anywhere. Gutted. But it does show how folks on the Forum will go out of the way to help others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We visited Bruges a few years ago, had a meal in a restaurant where I got chatting to the Patron, who introduced me to said beer. After a couple of "winter warmers" followed by a coffee laced with Geneva. I found that my legs didn't work properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Not beer but wine.Winbirri vineyard Surlingham have excellent white and red wine.In 2017,they were voted best single varietal white wine in the world.I've got three bottles of red for Christmas. They do deliver.There wines are not cheap,but in my opinion worth it. WWW.Winbirri.com. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very interesting fact about De Halve Maan Brewery is that as production expanded beyond their original base they ran out of space for the bottling plant and decided to move it to the outer city limits, but rather than transport the beer from the brewery to the bottling plant they have run a beer pipeline underground. When the brew is ready it is released under gravity from the tanks to the bottling plant. Now if only Howard knew where to dig! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
