Used to be interesting back in the days of the wooden barrels.  Now
being turned by SABMiller into yet another international label.

Please tell me you're kidding.

Nice for beginners who like something sweet.  Give me Hanssens or
Girardin or Drie Fonteinen or Cantillon, please.

You must be a Bud drinker, then, if you think these three are the
pinnacles of brewing and beer styles.  They aren't.

My local has far less than 115 beers on tap, but the folks there make a
far better effort to make sure that the beers they pour are interesting,
they have a rotating selection, and they have a decent bottled-beer list
too.  I'll take them over over-chilled, boring beers in frosty mugs any
day, no matter how many taps they have.
