This goldfish bowl of beer turned up - 10 mins later i was rat-ar$ed and drooling all over the my shirt. Turns out the standard lager was 9% loopy juice - what a great old place it is
    I went to a festival in Tournai in Belgium once with a group of friends. Being english, we decided to go out on the pop at 6. It stopped shortly after, as we were drinking a beer called Busch, @13.4%. The barmaid said dont drink more than 4, which we took as a challenge. Waking up in the ladies toilets with a broken nose (I had fallen over) I realised we'd taken on more than we could chew. I was carried for the rest of the evening by a very large friend who could hold his beer

      We tried some Belgian beer in a bar in Paris. Mort Subité (Sudden Death) was one of them.

      We felt absolutely fine until we stood up to leave and could feel leg wobble.

      When we got outside and hit the fresh air things got worse

      Fortunately I lived just round the corner so could hit the sack quickly. The rest of the group wasn't seen until next lunchtime.

        That was the thing with this Busch Jamais plus de quatre was the barmaids suggestion, which was a red rag to a bull. I remember getting up after a couple to go to the loo and feeling the legs in trouble...

        I love the name though...
