Shi'ite.
Didn't want to drag my homebrew 1000 km south and ended up with a case of Heineken. Good grief it's awful. Yeah, I've had worse but it's a bit like the Monty Python "always look on the bright side of life" sketch. Time to investigate Marseille and pick up some pastis to dilute the horrors of said Amsterdam pisse d'âne. Won't make that mistake again and as soon as I get back I'll be working on a travelling ale to take away in the bottle, well hopped for the journey and with a bit of flavour and strength about it.
Feeling better already. Time for another Heineken.
Edit.
I hadn't been to the Vaucluse in Provence before. Its amazing. But the beer's Shi'ite. Highly recommended apart from the beer. And don't tell me I should drink pints of chateauneuf du pape, I'm a beer drinker!
